Leafs @ Oilers - Jan. 30th, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

Team tries to get cute last 30 seconds. Why not rag the puck for the last 1/2 minute and take your chances in OT. Almost cost them.

 

[azzurri63]

Good line change boys.

 

[L K]

Got the point in a game they weren?t great.  I?ll take it.

McDavid has payed about 4 minutes of the last 6 of the game

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes...

 

[ZBBM]

Oh well.  Nylander denied, I wouldn't want to face McD and 29.

 

[herman]

I?m okay with this
Lots to work on

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Well a points a point.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Oh well.  Nylander denied, I wouldn't want to face McD and 29.

Willy not only denied but changes at the worst time.

 

[ZBBM]

7-2-1 in the first 10?  I will not turn it down nor pick it apart too much.

 

[bustaheims]

Fought back to get a point in a night where they didn?t have much going. Definitely things to work on going into the 4 day break, but a reasonable foundation to build on.

 

[Guilt Trip]

I agree with Bieksa. I would have started Matthews and Marner.

 

[gunnar36]

I really don't understand Keefe always starting Tavares in 3 on 3, especially when he is forced to keep up to McDavid on that much open ice.

 

[Zee]

Freddie saved a point there late when Muzzin blew a tire. They played like ass tonight but managed a point. Move on

 

[wnc096]

Could?ve been zero.  Take the point

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I really don't understand Keefe always starting Tavares in 3 on 3, especially when he is forced to keep up to McDavid on that much open ice.

I don't know, that's an easy decision to criticize in hindsight. Could have just as easily been the Leafs survived that first shift and then Matthews and Marner went out against whatever crap Edmonton put out next and they scored. Or if Matthews and Marner did go out and spent their entire shift defending then you could say their offensive talents were wasted. I don't really hate the decision. It's not as if Keefe did the equivalent of sending out Komarov and Hainsey.

They're a tired team. 4 days off will be good for them.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Well I'm definitely looking forward to not having to play Edmonton 4 times in 11 days again. Say what you will about their team, but McDavid and Draisaitl can put on a show.

 

[BrownRolo]

Nylander probably shouldn't take that shot. He didn't have a great angle and if he doesn't score it's guaranteed to be a 2 on 1 coming back.

Better play would have been for him to carry it behind the night and keep possession.

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

I hate the Edmonton goal horn.

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

I can do without seeing those jerseys again. Even Edmonton's... it's like, "hey, let's make a jersey that more closely resembles our hated provincial rival's".
