Hey look the really high-scoring team scored some more goals....Who would have guessed?

Much, much better.
Matthews: 3 points
Nylander: 2 points
Marner: 2 points
Just need Marner to remove his head from his ass and we could really have something!
Woo-hoo!
It's nice when the high scoring team actually does what it was built to do. I agree wholeheartedly.

Drunken madness, drunken madness, friend, that's fully punctuated featuring complete sentences. Some of y'all didn't go to no name rural state universities for undergrad and it really shows.

Not to toot my own horn here but I told y'all to just have faith in the boys. We've played well enough every game this series, and considering the circumstances of game 1 that really says something. We have a good team guys/gals, try cheering for them for a change. In 7-10 years or so when we suck again THEN cry about it.

Yeah this Leafs team didn't have enough offense, but now they do because of this thread calling them out. Great job HF.
We played the best offence in the division AND the best defence.
Things tighten up in the playoffs and offence drops across the board. Teams are more risk averse when they have a lead, teams are more aggressive when playing from behind.
The last 2 teams we played are defined by their defence, it’s basically all they really have. Weather that storm and we’ll move on to more open hockey with the airplanes.
One things I have noticed is that this team really struggles to capitalize on an odd man rush or a breakaway. Pretty crazy how snake bit they are on those opportunities. Not quite sure what to say there.

If the Leafs have trouble scoring against the Jets you can bring this up.
Habs know they can only win one way. By trapping and trying to win games 2-1. Leafs know this as well and don’t take too many risks because they know that in the end they just need 2 goals to win so they wait for the mistakes to happen before capitalizing on it.

Leafs can win any way you want to play the game. That's the difference this season. In prior years, we're losing this series with near certainty. But we can win loose or tight now.

Re: the bolded - I think Price is just really freaking good, and in those skill vs. skill situations he knows how to come out ahead. Fortunately the Leafs are fantastic at generating a surplus of quality opportunities, either through greasy goals, skilled goals, veteran goals, garbage goals, or lucky goals.
Price has been elite, agreed. But those issues have been going on all regular season from what I recall.

Does it really matter how much we are scoring as long as we win?
Ultimately in the playoffs scoring always goes down, especially when your playing a team like Montreal who is a defense first team. This is why goalies are critical in a playoff series.
Do not look at series like Winnipeg and Edmonton that dont play D. We can expect our goal output to go up next series. It really depends on the opponent.

So far in the playoffs:
Top 5 expected goals/60:
1. Avs
2. Leafs
(Big Gap)
3. Panthers
4. Oilers
5. Canes
Top 5 goals/60:
1. Avs
2. Bolts
3. Isles
4. Leafs
5. Bruins
...only reason it hasn't been worse for the Habs is because Price has been good in net.
Yea, this thread aged well.
