It's not so much his scoring pace, but he's been a liability defensively and takes plenty of shifts off. There's also the fact that he's getting paid $11 million and doesn't really seem like he's that level of player. Edit: The AAV of his salary is in the top 5 in the league, which is a little...

That game flew by. Not much more than two hours.

Tavares with an idiotic play. He was back covering for Barrie but tried to intercept the puck Hail Mary style rather than just skating back and playing a 2 on 2. He has been atrocious recently. Also Andersen no longer makes saves on shots.

Shootouts are terrible. Especially when shooters basically stop and drift to the net at half a mph. At that point it stops even being a traditional shootout.

Yeah he is playing in slow motion. The lesson is that players should never have kids.

Nylander is being totally wasted on the PP. what?s the point of having him out there if you never let him shoot. It?s like they think Matthews is the only option.

Tavares is playing terrible but so is Andersen. Looks like his confidence is shot right now. Tavares deserves to be benched though. One awful giveaway after the other.

Spezza has some nice mitts.

Tavares is playing like garbage, like he has far too many games this year, but that was a ridiculous call.. There was no actual hold.

This isn't unexpected. A lot of people speculated that he was playing injured. In a way it's comforting to confirm that his abilities haven't precipitously declined overnight. I'd be tempted to sit him and bring in Sandin.

You can repeatedly appeal to McDavid being good or great or the best player in history. But in the actual hockey play that's being discussed, Morgan Rielly was caught flat-footed and then decided to guess where the puck was headed based on a head fake rather than keeping himself in front of...

McDavid being good doesn't explain Rielly getting caught flat-footed in a one-on-one. It was a good play. But Rielly absolutely should have defended against it much better than he did.

As a defenceman in a one-on-one, you control the gap and play the body/chest of the other guy, rather than the puck. Head fakes shouldn't matter. NHL defenceman should never get beaten cleanly in a one-on-one situation. Sure McDavid is good but come on. It's also worth noting that the play...

Rough game for Tavares and Nylander. The McDavid line made them look like AHLers.

Didn?t see much of anything there.

That basically sums up Reilly?s defensive prowess and gap control this year. Yikes

Man remember when Rielly used to rush with the puck? What happened

Engvall looks great. The 10+ million guys seem like they?re hung over.

The Tavares line is a disaster in their own end. Puck watching.

Andersen isn?t getting himself in position to see the puck.
