The Penguins play a good shut down defence.  The Leafs have to get to the slot with the puck more in the 3rd  period IMHO.

It?s a good thing putting Kappi on the 2nd line.  Keefe at least is reacting to which players are playing better tonight ( which isn?t saying much).

I am visiting in London now and I was amazed at the passion of the speakers in Speakers Corner.  One guy brought his own ladder (instead of the small stool ) and he yelled for hours it seemed. I was thinking of getting up and talking about how the Paul Marner approach to contract negotiations...

The Leafs should play Nylander with Ennis and Moore for the 3rd period.  And not play Marleau Brown and the Goat who have not generated any offence for the playoffs (if not the last 3 months...).  But it would require coaching shrewdness by Babs which has been woefully lacking.

Totally agreed!  This is a key playoff game and he is still trying to equalize the ice time.  There should be some accountability for his game decisions....

Why does  Babcock do this to us?  Why does he keep putting out slow veterans?

Why doesn?t Babs try Muzzin withZaitsev on the PK?  Hainsey looked so slow and tired earlier.

Babs plays the 4th line always after a goal because it is his way and he is predictable and stubborn.

What a great cross ice pass be Muzzin.  (Likely to be overturned...).

What a great fake by Dermott.  Has Zaitzev ever done that in the last 2 years? 

If the Leafs can get a chance to make a couple of fast cross-ice passes in the Bruins end, they should score.  I think their forwards are playing with more commitment than in the last game.  And Ennis and Moore are players. -  they should play more than Marleau.

I certainly agree with this cogent assessment. Hopefully he is placed in the top 4 defence and Hainsey gets moved down and Dermot gets moved up as well. If Babcock insists on playing Zaitzeff and Hainsey on every penalty kill, it may not make much of a difference unfortunately.  Time will tell....

It seems that it is tough for him to identify things quickly especially when he is between the benches.  But what I find particularly annoying is when he says that ordinary or routine or capable saves are fantastic or unbelievable or incredible.  It is interesting that the director of the...

The Leafs aren't out of this yet.  Their offensive speed is noticeable tonight and they have been outplaying a few of the Bruins defence men.

And how many times has that been?  And what does it take too make stubborn Babcock to ever react?

What an absolute moronic play by Polak to take that penalty.

Kadri's lack of discipline is really disconcerting.  This seems to be a common thread in his play.  Well back to Polak and Hainsey playing for 2 straight minutes.  There can't be any downside to that.

Big the Leafs were overmatched in their own end the last 2 minutes.  I know that Marleau is a respected veteran etc.  but sometimes I watch him in the offensive end and I think of Jonas Hoglund.

I was just thinking that.🙂 He actuallly has been reading the play better.

Totally agreed.  Especially with him playing all of those PK minutes.
