The whole OT they looked tired and indecisive. Whether that is a byproduct of how much they played late in the game or not, I don't know. Would have been the perfect OT to try someone else...

That's great, but do you have statistics of how many times he is on the ice when the Leafs give up a tying goal in those situations? And how it compares to other Leafs? Maybe he is overall doing better than I think he is, but without the data I don't believe it. And, scoring a goal in those...

OEL being out long term could be the final straw for this team. Someone will have to step up big time to fill his skates.

Hello Nick Robertson...and while we're at it, if Cowan is worthy of second line duty all game, how about an OT shift. Both those guys are creative, quick, and work hard...

Leafs are still out of the playoffs aren't they...I'd argue the games right now are pretty important.

I'm definitely not a fan of having Nylander out there in those 5 on 6 situations but other Leafs had chances to get it out of there too.

It's basically the level of interference that takes place every single faceoff

Nylander looked more impactful that period.

Berube saying in the media that Nylander needs to "Work your way through it ... I would say he's got to get involved more, engaged more in the game & work his way through it" is the real message. Nylander has been in float mode for a little while now. Whether shifting him "down" a line has any...

Same guy who said he didn't believe that the Stolarz injury was serious is now saying "I don't believe that's (surgery) gonna be an option right now" for Tanev, so there's that. Wheel of destiny for sure!

Regarding the injury updates, it's like everyday they spin "the wheel of destiny" and whatever comes up is the report for the day.

That's what I thought - stupid/careless/dangerous but more of a love tap than a blatant intent to injure. No previous suspensions (unless I'm forgetting something), not known as a dirty player. Then again, he's a Leaf so probably 5 games. Seriously, I think 2 games would be excessive, but he'll...

They certainly picked the right season to play like poop.

Hildeby! Awesome performance.

Another classic rope-a-dope period by the Leafs. Hildeby > Johansson so far.

I must have missed the part where Domi became great.

Based on what I've seen lately, I think Cowan should either be on line 3, or back in the AHL playing big minutes in all situations, and Robertson should be getting his opportunities in the top 6 and on the PP.

People like to heap criticism on the Leaf defenders for being ineffective puck movers, but I find myself wondering how much of that is a result of the system as opposed to the players. Sure, there is no Cale Makar back there. But the Leaf defenders are given very little in the way of time/space...

Another thing about potentially using Robertson on the point - you know that if something happens, he's going to bust his ass to get back and defend. He won't dog it like many other Leaf forwards, and he actually has the speed to recover. I've seen him get back to break up odd-man rushes a...

booo...but they did get a point, deserved or not.
