Somebody needs to tell his dad there is these things called televisions. There also is another thing called the internet.

Really solid game. They were buzzing in the 3rd and are back to playing solid, Trotz-style defence.

They've been good pretty much since Barzal went down. It's unclear if the coaching staff has made an adjustment because he went down and they're trying to lock things down more or if no Barzal has naturally translated to a more responsible game, which has benefitted the team.
This is the best stretch of hockey they've played the entire season from a structural standpoint, they aren't giving teams many opportunities.

They remember Mayfield/Kucherov and are tanking so we don't make it
I would add that the experience we have in tight race/games, last year notwithstanding, comes in very handy right about now

I thought Engvall played as described. Good third liner, like his reach and speed. Has a decent shot it seems too. He's not the answer on the top line long term, but his speed complements Horvat and Lee.

I mean, you also have to account for the fact that Toronto fans have been conditioned to think every player should be Mitch Marner.

great game to be at although after 2 periods my blood was boiling… ive no idea wbat anyone sees in kouvila ? i thought he was horrible only to come home, watch the post game and hear butch rave about him? no doubt he knows hockey much better than i. im not a hockey expert by any means but i have been watching the isles for 40 years. i wish there was a timetable for barzal and jgp return, not knowing anything at all is frustrating.
tampa just seems to fk tje isles anyway they can. oh well, the next 3 games are tremendous but they have to start with the next game vs buff… this 3 game stretch is make or break the season in my opinion… lgi

Koivula has played his best two games in nhl last two games, been a good fourth line center.

I cringe every time Aho is on the ice, but that's because I'm anticipating a bad sequence for him, not because it actually comes to fruition. Koivula stayed above pucks, eliminated his man when he had the opportunity, and generally kept the puck moving up the ice into the offensive zone. That's about all you can ask of him at this point. He also had a nice opportunity from a Bailey feed if I'm not mistaken.
He's not an NHL regular, but if he can just be a net neutral player when called upon it's okay.
Big win - especially after allowing the 1-0 with less than two minutes on the clock in the second.
Not always easy to bounce back from.
