That explains the belief that the Rangers being near the top of the league in hits and blocked shots is a good thing. It only translates to them being the worst possession team in the league.

Goalies need to face shots to build up a rhythm and get up to game speed. Lulls between action, where they have to go from 0 to odd-man-rush is not easy.True but neither goal was difficult...and WTF were JT and Willy doing in that last shift?

First goal was a clean shot from the slot. Those are high percentage plays. The second one was bad, though.

First goal I'm not blaming him on that was poor defending by all Leafs on the ice. Second goal was weak. Shitsterkin hasn't exactly been stellar either. What I get frustrated with this team how and again tonight we have been the bettervteam but we always seem to let teams stay in the game. Leafs have had more chances, PP time and have carried the play.

What the heck happened on that 3rd goal? It seemed the coverage was off, and the shot went through the wickets of Campbell.
Blue line turnover, and the sort out was not great
Kerfoot and Sandin covering the same zone, Tavares and Nylander were on their horses to gain the red line, so they’re well out of the play.TOR37 winds up on his backhand, makes a high turnover and NYR scores coming down the back side vs 2 Fs. pic.twitter.com/RPXcLNyGPR

Sandin and Lilegren are getting absolutely dominated in their own end.
Lilly is 0 plus minus, Sandin -1 Dermott is -2. Travis is struggling tonight I’m finding. Believe it was him and Sandin on the ice for Reeves second. Forwards haven’t helped on a couple of the Ranger goals. Don’t like where this one is headed because you can bet money the officials will be trying to even up the PP’s.

No getting around that this was a clunker but on the other side nobody should look at that defense and be like "Oh yeah, this is a team that can just shut down other good offensive teams".
I've actually liked Galley's commentary these past few games but yes, his comment that "this needs to be a 4-2 win" after the Leafs blew the lead was really simplistic.

Not sure what you can sign Giordano for down the road but I would love to see him come home in his last few years. Not the player he once was but ship Holl or Dermott to Seattle to help our blue line.I hope people will stop ripping Muzzin after watching this..the kids have done a decent job but they sure miss him tonight.
Ehhhhhh. I’d love to have healthy Muzzin back but he’s been responsible for a lot of bad goals like tonight this year.
If there is one person I’d like to single out tonight it’s Dermott. Every time the defense gets depleted he has failed to step up and provide anything to push him ahead. I’m ready to move on from him.

Frustrating game. Shesterkin bested Campbell after the first.Dermott was worse lol.
And the first really not-so-good game from the 37/38 pairing.
And Shesterkin has been better all year.

100% agree with you. Ship him and Holl out for an upgrade. The 2 Swedes will be fine down the road. Dermott has had his chance and Holl I have no idea what Dubas sees in him.

They definitely need to pick up some defensemen at the deadline. They don't even really need great defensemen, just serviceable guys in the Bogosian(maybe slightly better) vein.
No getting around that this was a clunker but on the other side nobody should look at that defense and be like "Oh yeah, this is a team that can just shut down other good offensive teams".

His skate moves forward slightly. I've seen that play called a goal many times before.It was a redirection, not a kick. What a joke.I think looking at it he does a kick motion after its off his skate.

I think that's a no brainer for the Leafs and many other teams. Lots of season to go..2 months before deadline.They definitely need to pick up some defensemen at the deadline. They don't even really need great defensemen, just serviceable guys in the Bogosian(maybe slightly better) vein.

I actually agree with Friedman. Let the kids play and learn. I'm not disappointed in what happen tonight with them. It's a good lesson for them.
Yes. Take their lumps against a good team on the road in January and hopefully they'll be little bit better come April.

On this road trip Campbell has an .865 SV% in four games. Goalies are allowed to slump but for all the doom and gloom of the last few games its' really just hard to win games when your goalie can't stop the puck.

One of these was a goal this season, the other wasnt. Take your pick. pic.twitter.com/AxqyQm1m4W

Nice breakdown of Liljegren's eventful night

The defensive lapses haven't been good in the last week but it's hard to win games when nearly every mistake ends up in your own net.He hasn't been good lately and that's a big issue right now. Keefe said last night that it's obvious he isn't playing to the same level.

I also read that T Bay has given up a 2 goal lead 6 times so far this season and manage to also do it twice in the same game. They've also blown a 3 goal lead. It happens to every team. The good part is, this is fixable. It's not so much they're getting outplayed, they're more or less gifting goals. I think they'll be fine. The shutdown and Covid didn't do them any favours.

Campbell was .808 last night against NYR...I mean, 5 goals on 26 shots is obviously not a surmountable total on a nightly basis.
Just looking at averages, a .900 SV% would have been 2.6 goals against last night.
Campbell didn't get peppered with shots last night, it's just that they needed an average save % and didn't get it.

They look more like the Leafs of the first 7 or so games of the year. Hopefully we can rally off another 20+ game stretch like we did in November/December once they get back on track.

He's let in 3 or more goals in 8 of his past 11 games, has a .901 Sv% in that stretch but still a 7-2-2 record because of the Leafs goal support. He was clearly never going to maintain a 0.940+ Sv% so this isn't entirely surprising but it's time for the Leafs to stop playing him in every single game and allow Mrazek a shot at earning a bigger piece of the starts pie.Clearly he wasn't going to carry on but he can't be at .901 either. Totally agree and I said that earlier. Mrazek needs to play and find his game. He's played for the Marlies on Dec 5th and was off LTIR on Dec 11th. He's played in 1 of 9 games since. Not that they've had a heavy schedule but the Leafs are doing him and themselves no favours playing him so little.

This, and the team defense needs to be a hell of a lot better. I think Jack should have stopped both Reaves goals, but on the first one Reaves was left all nice and lonesome in the slot.
