If you watched our breakout passes and also the forward support to the dmen
Every line but the bozak and lupul bought into this system
Both bozak and lupul were sucking at the red line not giving support
Like Babcock wants
Sit them both Friday night

Yea, the first goal looked bad (although if he actually gets LESS of the shot, it's a good save on a shot labelled top corner that flies over the net/into the corner) but he was pretty good during the game. Didn't let himself get rattled after that and made some real solid saves to keep the Leafs in the game. His rebound control did seem a little un-Bernier like but it wasnt Reimeresque. .
A 931% save percentage and a couple of them highlight reel saves I will take if this is a "bad" performance....it was a decent first game though.
The dreger and babs interview the other day said Bernier will be the 1st and 2nd game starter with reimer on saturday
p.l.f.
use the force
And yet they were our best players tonight (JVR included). People still take +- seriously?
No context provided with the +-. You can't be serious.

Yeah 2 goals against. Real terrible.
Not to mention that the first goal was a fluke that went in off his shoulder.

Boys looked good. We were dominating the first two periods and took the foot off the gas in the third. We were getting a lot of chances we just didn't have the skilled Guys to bury the chances unfortunately
That's actually one of the least frustrating Leafs games I can remember watching in a couple of years.
There was one last season where we beat the Ducks 6-2 or something ridiculous like that and I remember facepalming more in that game than I did during this 3-1 loss.

Well. They played well and hard and still lost. I don't think anyone can complain. If you want a tank year...then rinse and repeat. If you have hope, they won't be playing Price every game. They will be an entertaining, hard working group at the very least. That's all anyone wants...just a good effort and not to give up on your team and fans.

Pretty good game. I didn't see to much I didn't like. The only negatives I saw were Bozak and Phaneuf.
Bozak is constantly passing, he's like a Canadian Kaberle who plays Centre. He never shoots and always passes, it's absolutely frustrating to watch.
Phaneuf can GTFO. Out of all the 'old guard' left he needs to go first. His defencive style of play is painful to watch, especially when he's in his own zone and his partner is going after the puck and he's just sitting there. There was one moment this game where the puck was in our end and his partner (Forget who it was) was battling for the puck and Phaneuf comes over and when the puck goes to the guy he's covering all he does is punch the guy in the back 3 or 4 times.

Kadri did play much better than Bozak though.
If you want to bring stats into it, how about the fact that Bozak was dead last in CF% on the entire team. That's a much more damning stat than +/-, especially with how the minus's came to be.

Good game for the Leafs. They're going to lose a lot this season, but the competent, high pressure, 2-way system makes it easier to watch the Leafs than what we're used to

Uh, Kadri's first -1 came when Bozak hopped off the ice to avoid a minus and Kadri had to jump on. The goal happened a second later.
His second -1 was to an empty net.
He contributed to the only goal, and many more scoring chances, and was 54% on the dot (Bozak was 48%). Drew a penalty too. Possession monster as well. Kadri literally was so much better.
And yet they were our best players tonight (JVR included). People still take +- seriously?
Noone is saying it's the best stat, but it still has relevance. Being condescending about it isn't the answer.
Great loss. It's a real relief to see the structure Babcock brings. 52 SOG+opposition blocked shots to 39. If you noticed, our top defenceman by ATOI was Gardiner.
Even if we don't win more games, this season is going to be so much more enjoyable to watch.
