Hughson and Simpson criticizing Robertson for shooting.  At this point the Leafs need to throw everything on net.   Get the flu key goal and then play fancy

That last crappy shot had Kerfoot sitting in the slot alone for an easy pass. Tge criticism was warranted.

So, are the 4-7pm guys on TSN1050 Overdrive going to have to do a show tomorrow and say nothing whatsoever about a Leaf playoff game running at the same time on another station/network?

I think Overdrive is off today.

Good penalty kill for the last minute. Wait a second!!!

I know D is not our strength but they need to be better than this. Same ice for both teams.

Not impressed with Muzzin so far. Looks out of gas and making too many easy mistakes.

Uh, they could really dispense with the anthems in an empty arena.

Great time to get rid of them and then forget to bring them back next season.

Scheifele injury did not look good.

Thoughts on whether it was dirty or not?

I'd say that he definitely seems to lunge his skate at Scheifele's leg to try and contain him.

I dont think any player would do that on purpose but these kinds of accidents always seem to involve the kind of player who brings it into question.

Half of Chicago's roster playing in their first NHL playoff game. The other half are going to feel very old, very soon.

Oilers in three.

1st guy out of the pool?

Using what most people consider Vancouver, GVR, the Conservatives have 10 seats. The Liberals 11.

With all of those seats outside of the Metro area, unless I'm mistaken.

There are only 6 actual Vancouver ridings. But in reality everyone counts Vancouver as The Lower Mainland.

Also, I'm not sure why Toronto gets singled out. The Conservatives didn't win anything in Vancouver either. Likewise, they didn't win in Winnipeg or Halifax. In fact, outside of Alberta and Saskatchewan, winning a seat in Thornhill and Markham is probably the closest thing the Conservatives had to doing well in a major city.

Whatever the problem is electorally for the Conservatives, it starts in cities.

I'm not sure how big a deal a plurality of the popular vote is when it barely shifted from the previous election and is still one of the worst Conservative showings in modern electoral history(only 2015 and 2004 were worse). Even the 1993 wipeout of the Conservatives saw the PC's + Reform get a higher % of the vote than Scheer won.

Its not that big of a deal but it just kinda shows that outside of Toronto and Que not a lot of hatred for Scheer or the Conservatives.  Just as much disgust for Trudeau in the rest of the Country. FTR I am not a Scheer fan and had much more hope for Trudeau.

I will vote for my dog to become Prime Minister before I vote for Andrew effin' Scheer. Clean up your OWN house before you start bitching about Trudeau's, dude.

Leaving aside the fact that you don't vote for PM the Conservatives did win the popular vote last time even with a Dud as Leader.
