please start pp2 here!

no goal but surely the message has gotten through

I was going to say, I thought I read an article where they claimed his defensive numbers were down this year. Not sure where I saw it. The "eye test" says his line spends a lot of shifts hemmed in their own zone. How much of that is due to some change in what Matthews is doing, versus having...

I still like seeing the name "Domi" out there (nostalgia I suppose), but man has his play been disappointing for the most part. Quite obvious why he's never lasted more than 3 years on one team. Leafs have 3 similar players in Domi/Robertson/Maccelli. That's at least one too many. At this...

Sure, but peak Gilmour >> peak Matthews. Gilmour had 63 points in 39 playoff games in his 2 best seasons. Matthews has never come anywhere close to that kind of overall performance. At this point, barring some kind of miraculous cure or recovery, he really needs someone better to play with. He...

It will be interesting to see how he performs both during the olympics and then during the rest of the season.

There's always hope lol. Remember Wendel Clark...great first 2 years, then struggled with injuries for about 6 years before exploding for 46 goals in 93-94. Of course, playing with Doug Gilmour didn't hurt. Problem is, this team doesn't have a Doug Gilmour.

He's got the "sick of sitting out" virus

Some bad bounces tonight but felt like Edmonton players were allowed to roam too freely in the Leaf zone and around the net. Not much push back, no knocking players down in the front of the net. Way too passive.

Yeah the flu excuse is pretty lame. They just got beat all over the ice. Edmonton is a better team. Simple as that.

Pathetic effort to end this game

AA time

how many times have the leafs shot wide tonight

nice pass OEL. game over

Robertson with the blind Domi-pass leading to the goal. Gotta be smarter than that.

Those saves...just wow

Entertaining game so far!

Holy crap McDavid, what a burst

Can't believe OEL is playing after that incident the other night. What a warrior. Hopefully he's up for the task. Really lookimg forward to this game.

I don't think last night's result was the result of any laziness on the part of Nylander - it looked more like he just didn't know where he was supposed to be. Maybe part of that was a communication issue (with Roy out pointing where he should be) but in general, defense is not his strong suit...
