Too bad the Penguins didn't have enough depth up front to keep pressure on the Leafs but Sid, Malkin and Kessel can't play all of the last four minutes.

hot take: Barkov is good in the shootout

 

[Bure1096]

He is too bad about 5 Panther fans saw him live tonight

Very mature.

The entire pens team just looked disinterested. Like they were playing with a hangover.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Somehow a team should go over 10 minutes without a shot on goal and end up with a bunch of power plays. Makes sense.

We've got the third fewest pp opportunity's in the league while scoring the third most goals in the league and being one of the fastest. Again cry us a river.

Time for McDavid to light it up

You're more likely to draw penalties when the puck is on your stick. More often than not, the Leafs were chasing the play during the first half of the season. But don't let the truth get in the way.

Whoever makes it to the ECF out of the Atlantic is hoping for a Pittsburgh ECF. Would be nice to have an easy home-ice matchup just before the finals.

You're not chasing the play when you have a top 3 record in the conference.

are you really going to pretend Pittsburgh weren't committing infractions? Yeah Leafs didn't really drive play but we were getting more dangerous opportunity than the Penguins.

As for the season as a whole, it's a pretty similar story. Young team that doesn't get the benefit of the doubt

because he's due? Hasn't been all that great vs the Wild. I fully expect RNH to score though considering i've been saying how underwhelming he is.

Predators have the Devils right where they want em

The Wild are one of the few teams he hasn’t shredded.

We said that about the Lightning before he put up a 5 spot on them

there's not a team in the league equipped to stop him when he's feeling it. It just depends on if he's feeling it tonight

 

[bdub24]

It's like Edmonton winning is actually secondary to how well McDavid plays for some. I don't get it. Must be on your fantasy team?

 

[BHD]

Well you can (like the Leafs did), but strong goaltending and a scoring forwards hide it.

No. They didn't commit one until Oleksiak interfered with Marleau, and lo and behold... he was called for it.

They have an xgf% of over 50. They're obviously doing something right.

It's all they have to cheer for at this point in the season. I do not blame them.

They weren't during the first half of the season, and it drew a lot of attention.

When you have the best player in the league and are this far out of the playoffs what else is there to do?

 

[LeafsNation75]

Now that 2 goal swing on the GI + penalty, then the subsequent PP goal even more important

No different than that 5th Sabres goal from Monday when Andersen gets knocked down, because let's remember Mitch Marner made it 5-3 and you can say it should have been 4-3 instead at that point.

what do you expect? They're all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. wins and losses don't really mean anything to them anymore. When the games were important, Oilers fans wanted to win obviously. that's not the case now
