Leave it to Toronto to always find ways to do things in a comical fashion. Open up the game dominant then do stupidity like that. Never ceases to amaze me from them.
 
Not a great defensive effort, but the Rangers weren’t going to just roll over either. We’re still looking like the better team.
 
Zeke,

If you're reading the game thread tonight, that Rangers goal was exactly what I was talking about when I said our d-men struggle behind our own net and get bullied on the end wall much more than I'd like. Dermott got treated like a AA Midget player back there.
 
Why do NHL defensemen still both go into the corners. Shouldn’t it be obvious that if you see your partner in the corner you stay in front of the net?
Some teams, at times, will use a what i used to call a double down defense. You would send the second D into the 2 on 2 battle to outman a strong opponent... win the puck and breakout. Slot winger covers the front and then stretches when the puck is recovered. Let's see if we do it anymore tonight.
