Keefe is beautiful

First time I've disagreed with him is tonight matching the Tavares line against Mcdavid... Nylander/Kerfoot arent the right wingers for the job

 

[Kamiccolo]

Only in Leafs Nation do you blame the goalie for not having X-ray vision

It's not the goal, it's his body language. When you watch a guy a lot you know when he is off.

 

[DarkKnight]

I know, why is it the Leafs fault you hate your life. We’re on a incredible heater.

 

[Al14]

why is marincin on the team :/

Obviously, because you failed to try out.

 

[glue]

One of the Worst periods of the Keefe era and we’re down 1-0, I’ll take it

 

[BertCorbeau]

That period leaves a lot more to desired. Some chances. Doesn't Smith always seem to have the Leafs' number? Or at least he used to.

The PP's for Edmonton didn't help swing momentum, but that second call was BS.

Leafs need to be quicker and cleaner with the puck. Losing too many battles.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Vintage McDavid? He’s what 22, haha vintage McDavid

Right now is vintage McDavid.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Better be a phantom call on the oilers.

 

[Kamiccolo]

First time I've disagreed with him is tonight matching the Tavares line against Mcdavid... Nylander/Kerfoot arent the right wingers for the job

Let's see the adjustments in the 2nd.

 

[Mickey Marner]

At least it's unlikely the Oilers will have a penalty advantage the rest of the game to fall back on.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

If the precise reverse happened that period, and the leafs dominated the whole time and only got 1 goal out of it... we'd all be saying that failing to bury all of those chances will come back to bite us later in the game.

And that's exactly what I think is going to happen here.

 

[dethszn]

Leafs score like 6 goals a game.
We got 2 more periods.
Babcock doesn't coach this team anymore.
Matthews is guaranteed a goal at home.
We're playing the Edmonton Oilers.

We got this.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Tavares needs to start finishing these....makes 10 mill a year and always shoots right at the goalie. smh. He already regressing.

Still on pace for 36 goals and 82 points over an 82 game season despite his early struggles... If a PPG is regressing, I'm still very much okay with it from our #2 center.

 

[Hockey Crazy]

I think they come out stronger in the 2nd

 

[LeafGrief]

Pretty brutal period. The good news is that we're playing the f***ing Oilers, so we've still got a good chance to win.

Despite playing the entire period on the back heel, we managed quite a few good looks. JT, Matthews, and Hyman all had AAA chances. 4 High Danger Chances in the period.

 

[Sniper99]

Stone hands Tavares, can't score for awhile now.

What would you call awhile?

Try reading some stats over the past few games.

 

[leafsfan5]

We’ll be fine, tough first but they’ll come out strong in the second

 

[Teeder Keon]

First time I've disagreed with him is tonight matching the Tavares line against Mcdavid... Nylander/Kerfoot arent the right wingers for the job

I like his in game awareness trying to win every possibility ...
Maybe he will make adjustments

 

[LastOne2100]

lol McDavid played 9:10. I mean the Oilers are just...wow.

 

[TheKule]

Oilers were impressive that period.

Rielly is god awful these days.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Damn, McDavid plays more than 2 minutes of a power play, didn't even know that was possible.

 

[Merrrlin]

I'm not worried. We got this.

Agreed. I think we're gonna pot a few in the 2nd.

Even when they look "good", the Oilers still aren't very good. Defensive coverage is awful.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

No lol.

McDavid May play the full 60 min.

He played almost half the period 9 min 10 sec. I hope we get some questionable calls against the oilers as well.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Leafs had two open shots from our 2 best goal scorers in the slot. Score could easily be different.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Let's not forget the Oilers nearly blew a 5 goal lead the other night. I am not worried.
