Polak's play is definitely diminishing his anticipated trade deadline return. That's why he was signed wasn't it?
He took a puck off the face once and kept playing

Quit giving up bad goals in regulation. Their second goal, Reimer was always roasted for far less than that. I'm beginning to think Freddy can't handle a crowd, he discombobulates in traffic, the exact opposite of what this team needs.
Babcock saying we were out-numbered down low but the guy responsible is the same guy that everybody wants gone except Babs.

Gardiner made 1 huge mistake (didn't lead to a goal, but it was a point blank shot), other than that his game was really, really good. Even the commentators mentioned that too. Kid had 60% possession on the night, leading the 48% team. 1 bad play ruined how people viewed him tonight.
I don't think enough people have critisized the Kadri line, absolutely dreadful. Leafs would've won if they were at least decent.

Kadri line did nothing tonight...likely the kane line overwhelmed them.
Komarov has been ineffective lately. However, I saw Brown on the Kadri line on a couple of shifts which is nice.. Replace komarov with leivo/sosh/kapenen and we could also have a good line

Statistical recap.
Maybe change up the Holland and Kadri lines.
Bozak and Matthews lines seem to be fine, the other 2 lines need some attention.
Maybe Kapanen with Komarov and Kadri, something to bring some skill to that line.

Repost:
That 3rd rebound goal is a set play. A hard rubber puck hitting hard foam boards comes off with alot of velocity, it's physics. Players know this and play the bank off the pads. Remember when Matthews did it tonight? The only thing i didnt like about it was his kicking motion that put the puck right into the slot. The only other option is a move that alot of goalies don't use anymore and that is deflecting it with the stick. It's an old school move that only one goalie i see do it on a regular basis and is really good at it is Bernier. In his time here he deflected alot of low shots into the crowd.
That tying goal, there was three Hawks alone in front screening the goalie and all there to tap in a rebound uncontested but yet the idiots on here blame Andersen. He played great tonight but still gets blamed even though the forwards and defense are constantly turning pucks over and are out of position. If you're giving up 30 shots it is one thing but it is the 10+ grade A scoring chances a game that are getting out of hand. How many times did they walk right in towards the net in OT uncontested?

I wouldn't say that. Zaitsev is the best defenseman we have i think. Rielly has no poise in alot of situations and makes alot of poor decision because he chokes when pressured. He has handled the pressure like a hand grenade with the pin pulled so far.
Is there any reason not to expect this guy to be rushing the puck every shift with that skating ability! He doesn't do it. I find that concerning actually. Babs wouldn't put him on the power play too. He looks ******.
Well, my theory behind it is if we can get rid of Bernier and his contract, we can do the same with Andersen. Not a biggie, but even non Leaf fans here are saying stick with him because he is good, so hopefully they are right and I am wrongStill a little early, but that contract could be an albatross if he turns out to be a lemon.
that opportunity Marner had to bury the game.....it was like a two on one he passes the puck, gets it back, then passes it again. The guy has to learn that it's not the prettiest goals that matter more. Shoot the damn thing. I hate when young players come up and treat the nhl like it's pond hockey or the ohl. Show urgency and bury the opposing team if you have a chance.

That was disappointing, but that was their best line tonight.
Bozak, Marner and van Riemsdyk are starting to build some chemistry.
2 lies ready, 2 lines struggling.
Hunwick is concussed and shouldn't be playing...at all.
Corrado couldn't be any worse.

Babcock is completely right
On the 3rd goal, Rielly doesn't box out and Toews beats him to the puck and gets a clean shot
On the 4th goal, there's 3 of the Hawks players battling for the rebound and 2 of ours. What exactly are you expecting there?

maybe not better but better to lose like this and learn would be valiev and corrado.

Offered and lost
I think the break they got while waiting for them to review the call was longer than the timeout they would have gotten lol.

And on the 2nd goal one of Kadri/Gardiner blew their defensive assignments and let Motte stand in front of Andersen all by himself for the rebound.
And on the first goal, Zaitsev didn't take the passing lane from Panarin and Hunwick was out of position to take his man who scored.
