McEvoy auditioning for the Leafs apparently.

I've found Berube's handling of the roster to be questionable in many respects. Good to see that he's splitting up Matthews and Nylander (again). That group (Matthews/Knies/Nylander) just hasn't been good enough to justify putting 3/4 of their best offensive players on one line.

I'm mainly interested in seeing 2 things tonight: (1) smarter play, especially by the forwards. Don't all get caught cheating for offense, no dumb giveaways at the blue line leading to odd man rushes, and get back to support the dmen and goalies (2) more intensity - get that compete-o-meter...

He got his 2 points last night though, so all is well.

Unfortunately, Tanev is almost 36 and has taken a lot of abuse over the years. He wasn't playing great before the injuries. It's quite possible he won't ever be as effective as he was last year and that is a HUGE problem for this team.

Think I'm giving them one more chance. I'll tune in for the Boston rematch to see if they have any kind of pulse, any kind of inner strength. If it's another game where they get doubled on shots and run out of the building physically, then I'm going to take a break and watch some other teams for...

Team obviously misses Pontus Holmberg.

20-2 SOG in the third. They should be embarrassed.

getting outshot 40-20 at home is not a great look

case in point...McCabe giveaway and it's in the net

It's not all him though - whole team has been guilty of bad pinches, careless puck giveaways, not being able to get out of their own end. Some of this stuff was going on last year but was papered over by great goaltending, but the complete breakdowns and breakaways seem to be a new addition to...

I don't remember Myers ever being this bad before. Definitely could use some fresh blood back there.

Is there a force field at the Toronto blue line?

sweet no look pass by knies

I just turned the game on like 5 minutes ago and have already lost count of the breakaways and defensive breakdowns. Just like the pond hockey we used to play!

I don't remember him doing much last night, until the last 5 minutes anyway.

Well...Hildeby looked good.

It's all good...he'll get a fine and justice will be served

Textbook legal elbow to the head*... (* if you're Florida or Boston)

Second pp unit comes through! Nice work there.
