Dumb play by Domi there.

Similar to the Hagel hit (and probably retribution for it). Should also probably be a game.

Exactly. Something actually insightful would be nice.

Nah. If there was a really meaningful penalty, I’d agree, but a small fine feels about right for this.

I’d prefer some honesty in the narratives, but maybe that’s just me

Ottawa dominated all of one period where the score was tight. One. Too many people look at the numbers and remove the context. More shots doesn't mean dominating, especially when so many of the shots are from far out.The Sportsnet panel isn't helping with this, as they're very much pushing the...

The league just doesn't like these kind of bush league shenanigans in the warmups. As mostly harmless as it seems, it's one of the few things they've been pretty consistent about it. Doubt it results in anything more than "don't do it again, or it will cost you."

In the 3rd periods and OTs of the last two games, shots are 18-7 Leafs. Games were either tied or the Leafs up by one throughout the entirety of that roughly 45 minutes of hockey. When it's mattered the most, the Leafs' have absolutely been in control.

Benoit? BENOIT!

I see the refs have decided to put their whistles away. Lots of trips going uncalled.

Stolarz needs to have that one.

Took him some time to get comfortable and find his role in the lineup, but he’s fitting in nicely now.

Toe pick near Lorentz’s skate is a trip now. Cool.

A+ dive by Strudel there.

League clearly doesn’t want a sweep.

Which is why I said average goalie not average starter. ;)

Regular season, he’s been basically average. Playoffs, he’s struggled. League average sv% this season was .893.

Yeah. He’s a decidedly average goalie. That can work if you have stellar defence to go with your strong offence, but the Oilers don’t have that. You can only out score those issues for so long.

Yeah. That's just how Harper is, though.

Sure, but Detroit's success with that style was from a very different era, where they could heavily obstruct the opposition on D while taking advantage of their puck possession prowess. It still worked some as the league started to crackdown on obstruction, largely because teams hadn't fully...
