Lol :) It was a terrific play by Boyle and a fine play by Kapanen.  What an ending to a great game.

x2 Marner was just flying and actually gained a stride or two on Ovechkin and affected his deke without drawing a penalty.  That play saved a goal.

3 assists in 21 games.  He is the worst skater on a fast team.  Not taking anything away from him but the Leafs should have gotten a defenceman with that 2nd round pick they gave up for Boyle.

Boyle lost the draw and deserved the slow boy penalty.

He is such a strong checker.  He minimizes that lines effectiveness so much though.  He has had two even strength goals all year.  He has had something like 5 assists on all of AM's goals.  The last goal that he got when AM assisted on it was in December.  How much better they would be putting...

X2 And Patrick O'Sullivan has been somewhat vocal in assessing Hyman's total lack of offensive talent.

What a great shot on the net by Reilly.  This game is amazing given everything that happened in that period.

Uncle Leo didn't cover the point which was the essential cause of the goal.  Penalties are killing the Leafs but Washington is still such a strong team.

Awful penalty by Marincin.  And Ove scores on a soft play by Polak.  The Leafs lack of depth on defence is hurting them.

Agreed with that principle but here the goal was right after a power play.  There isn' t any benefit putting Martin  and Boyle out there and in fact Boyle took that penalty in the last game right after the Leafs goal which helped to change the momentum in that game IMHO. And the 4th line can...

Why does Babcock insist on playing the 4th line after a Leafs goal?  It was a terrific play by Gardiner and JVR and then the Leafs lost the momentum with the play in their end for the next 30 seconds.  Boyle skates like a tractor and Martin is slightly worse with the puck.

The second goal by Washington was certainly a fluke but Marincin has to be stronger on that play.  He didn't do anything to clear Williams from the front of the net. And Martin is supposedly the steady team veteran but that penalty by him was such a bad instinctive selfish play.  If Babcock has...

That's certainly what I thought too.  But one replay kind of showed that Polak first touched the puck which might have  affected Brown's timing a bit. One thing I didn't hear from any commentator was that (Again!) Babcock played the fourth line right after the goal and the play was quickly in...

Babcock could play Soshnikov or Leivo on  the line with AM and with the latter' immense  talent and poise and responsibility and hockey sense I don't think they would lose anything defensively.  This could be done forthwith.  I agree that the Leafs need a 1A defenceman but that might take 2 or 3...

I certainly agree with your assessment about Nylander.  I thought that he and Matthews were the best two Leafs tonight. In fact, Hyman played at least 1 full shift in the overtime.  He has had about 2 goals over the past 40 games or so  (at least that is what I believe I heard from Mr. Patrick...

What a terrific game by all of the Leafs (when they all collectively had such a poor game against the Panthers). Regrettably I was at the Panthers-Leafs game and it was quite exciting for the first 17 seconds, but then....).  As usual there were many Leaf fans at the rink and they were hoping...

The Jets have scored 4 goals on 15 shots tonight.  Andersen has not played well (at all).  McE  should be getting more starts, IMHO. In fact, Andersen has let in the most goals of any NHL goaltender this year  (128). He is currently in 35th place in GAA (at 2.78).  Even Hellebyck who the Jets...

Nylander's release is fantastic.  There are only a handful of guys on the Leafs who could take a hard pass like that and in one motion have a heavy shot at the net.

The Leafs' 4th line looks good.  The Goat is moving his feet and Martin actually is looking like a hockey player.

I'm watching the game at the ACC and Marner is the best player on the ice including the Flyers. But the highlight so far has been the young girls Timbits game in the intermission.  One of the goalies had to be carried to the net because she couldn't skate.  (There should be something that is a...
