    That was a great game overall. Sammy played solid and made big saves. But we have to say every game, although Brodie played well overall, almost very critical mistakes make the game tie. Same for Nylander, high risk low reward plays.

    Benching Robertson for 10 games didn't make any sense, when you need secondary scoring. Brad didn't sign Perry why?

    Domi and Robertson gotta get more ice! Rotate them with someone else! They can get someone else going!

    I don't understand why Timmins was fined for cross checking. We see way worse cross checks all the time. No doubt it was dirty and I have no issue with it being a fine, but why is the fine for "cross checking" per se?

    The played for Keefe’s job. Otherwise they’d have to play under a coach that made them play for 60 mins a game. Hard work.

    Very glad to see Sammy get the win. He deserves it. But all this shows is that the leafs can only beat .500 teams. They can’t close out games against elite teams. Not a good look. I’ll be at the game next Saturday, I hope they prove me wrong.

    Just watched the highlights. Man the leafs defence just gets picked apart. They are not winning anything the way they wander around their own net lost. The highlights indicate a couple massive saves won them this game. Thats great, they need goaltending as any good team does, but the way they play in their own end they need great goaltending more than they should. Teams cant score their way to a cup (regardless of how well their own goalie is playing). Teams with good golaies are generally playing good team defence. This team needs to make a change to the defensive composition and they need to do it soon. To many teams right outside the door and leafs have had an easy schedule to date. That makes me think its going to get really tough after the trade deadline, right about the time this team has always shrunk away. As nice as it is to have fancy shinny things like Marner, Nylander Mathews, they dont need all three. They need to get better at competing when the bounces dont go their way and pucks dont go in the net. Reduce quality chances otherwise they will loose close games like this more than not.

      That said I understand you cant just make a trade and get fleeced because your trying to fill a gap. Chances are they dont really get to fix the issue until the offseason.

      You only watched the highlights, that's why you're under that impression for this game.
      Yes, Sammy needed to make big saves, but that's what goalies are for. Vasilevsky, Bobrovsky, Hill, just to name a few, have given their teams, even when being outplayed, chances of winning games, playoff series and even cups.
      That being said, 17 shots is a hell of a low number, and Leafs defense was super competent and good throughout the game.
      Again, through Highlights you wouldn't know, but they played really well and those Sammy saves were the only chances they actually got to score throughout the game
