The result of this game won't matter too much to me at this point, very unhappy about Dermott.

Leafs having a really bad time clearing the zone...probably don't want to ice the puck, but too timid on those clearing attempts.

North!
I think CBC is turning into the Winnipeg hockey network, yes they got a good team but Hughson and Co just cant help themselves talk up winnipeg every second

They have been good offensively, especially JVR. His a fantastic finisher close to net.

While they have put up good offensive numbers, it still doesn't mean they've been good defensively. Why do you think their so sheltered by Babcock? Why is that 30+ goal scorer JVR is having record low ice time for the amount of goals his scored?

It's not complicated, they've been good offensively in the last little while since Brown joined that line (since he can do the hard work defensively), but are and have been weak defensively. That part hasn't changed.

One can point that player x is weak defensively, while still valuing their overall game (mainly offensive production).
No the last month or so JVR has been on fire offensively. They were actually pretty mediocre until then.

Defensively, 5v5, they have been rock solid. The line has been good defensively.
