That wasn't a tough break, that was a boneheaded play. One of the worst giveaways I've ever seen.

That no look hero pass to the open wing was the kind of dumb only Alex Galchenyuk could muster, as in you have to dig pretty deep to pull something so un-NHL. I don't need the temporary heroics of the game tying goal if I can't trust my superstar knowing he's capable of that kind of major malfunction under light pressure.
Sure it was, they showed the replay from above. Matthews likely thought Marner would be there, but Marner turned to the bench in that same moment. Doubt he knew he didn’t have his stick.
Matthews just went from hero to zero in less than 5 minutes tonight. Scored the tying Goal very late in the 3rd and has a direct assist on the bruins winning goal in overtime. He folded under pressure and made a stupid and unforced pass at critical time.
Other than that he had a pass on the knies goal based on a swarming drive play to the net. Knies found an opening in the scramble around the net and scored.
What a Careless and stupid giveaway by him.
Stolarz should be exempt of any blame tonight. He kept the leafs alive in this game. He was Beyond reproach
Marner great performance 3 assists
Knies solid one goal tonight
Tanev/McCabe pairing on defense was rock solid
The third line has been good too

This was a decent all around effort ruined by a few rookie mistakes.
Second goal, McMann bobbles the pass.
Third Willy was looking for the 10 on technical merit and took an edge.
Winner...just what the f*** was that, AM?!
It's palatable after two bad losses (I don't think they played horrible against the Blues but they got pounded), but I'm concerned because there was nothing in their first 6 games to indicate this breakdown.

It's your job to be aware of what is going on out there. Idiotic play. No excuses. Bad breaks are not decisions. He will own that.

This team is bad.
May as well load up one line of Matthews Marner Nylander and see if the rest can hold on.

The organization decided to elevate Auston Matthews in the offseason after a very controversial playoffs and with that elevated responsibility he will also be held to a higher standard. And he's failing at everything.
And then it being suggested that the pass wasn't good and that AM had to struggle just to control it. lmao

The bad impactless grunts are not hurting the team, by and large.

I mean, he scored. Not sure what else he did. Nothing negative, so I guess that probably puts him at the top of the group.
He's been our best skater this season though, agree with that.

There could have been a miscommunication on the ice at that moment we don't know. That type of play isn't very characteristic I would say. If not then it's a mistake yes. And he did just tie the game and overall had a good game no?

Yep, that was a very POOR PLAY from a professional hockey player making north of $13M.
I coached peewee players that would never make that play !!!
He was decent. Couple good moments, but overall he was very blah I would say. That mistake, and it was a mistake, a bonehead one at that, needlessly gave the game away.

Defensively it seems like too many bad turnovers in bad spots are the issue, causing chances off of transition and they're getting really burned by it too.
Ok so not bad break, but you get what I mean. He thought the player was going to be there, and in that moment the other player decided to turn to the bench. This wasn’t some Hail Mary prayer pass like some are making it seem. It was an unfortunate sequence.

You don't throw the puck away because you thought someone was going to be there, it's your responsibility to know where your teammates are before passing them the puck. I bet you though Galchenyuk's giveaway in the playoffs against Montreal was a bad break too right?
