Yeah I feel like a better player who can make plays would actually serve to tax the other team more over time as they would spend time chasing the game more than I think they would with a more traditional 'stay-at-home' type like Polak.  If the end result is more time in your own end then you...

Someone should write a book on these little things adding up to success, it's like an extra 2%...

That's my biggest gripe with Polak.  I don't deny that he can be an effective penalty killer, and that he's physical and can block shots.  But at even strength, where something like 80% of Polak's ice time is, he turns so many instances of possession into unnecessary icings it drives me crazy. ...

I'm not bothered by the blown lead at all (even though it had some eerie memories), there was some crap luck involved (Rielly's stick) and it's a young team, and the youngsters were out there.  It's natural to see them maybe get the 'yips' a bit, but they responded. And I cannot believe Auston...

If he bothers you that much, the opposition broadcasts will bother you much more (unless you like huge homers for the opposition).

That penalty shot called against the Leafs in the Penguins game wasn't in the shooting motion was it?  I don't even think the Pens player had possession of the puck.

I'd say the stick being in between his legs surely impeded what he could do.

I could MAYBE see the goal being called off but in no way is that a penalty.  Refs have been pathetic towards Kadri ever since it was brought up how many penalties he was drawing.

As I've complained, the reffing recently has been bad.

Like, never play the puck ever?  Or should he be the first goalie in history to only ever play the puck when they know they won't make a mistake (by looking into the future)?

Nylander tackled down by Krug, no call.

Can't miss those hooks though.

Didn't he push Marincin's skate out with his stick?

Like..how is that not a penalty?  Leafs already have one of the lowest # of PPs/game despite having a good offense (which should translate to PPs).  I don't get it, feels like the last 2 weeks every game has been like this with obvious calls.

*pops champagne*

I hate games vs. Minnesota.

Yeah I've never understood what the problem with a tie is. Don't understand forcing there to be a winner. Let the free market decide!

Oh yeah, 100%.

Okay Hyman maybe you can make a pass.  Nice pass.

All because Zach Hyman has no hands and can't make a pass.
