Im sure this got shared already, but was Pesce really this noticeably negative?

No, thought he was fine.

I don’t know about noticeably negative but he wasn’t noticeably positive so that isn’t too surprising

The bounce is what it is but svechnikov is basically below the face off dot with no one driving center lane. He doesn’t need to be so deep in net which opened up far side. Bad positioning and kind of lack of situational awareness

Sheesh. Elite goal scorers doing something elite. If Hughes or someone else with equal hand wants to take that shot and succeeds in putting it there, he scores 99% of the time. Markstrom took away 98% of the net.

He got caught out there at the end of the second when the penalty was taken and few shifts after the PP in the third. Also a bit of a graph issue as the x-axis isn’t as far negative as it looks.

Tatar made a nice little play and pass down low to get the puck to Mercer who found Hamilton for the GWG. Wouldn’t be completely shocked if Keefe keeps Tatar on that 3rd line for Saturday but I do feel Cotter will come out with his hair on fire after his benching

Made one of the best stick blocks of this season and saved a goal. He was very good all night

Nah, he looked ok, part of the score reflects results and he was on the ice w/ Dillon for the only 5v5 GA.

Dillon’s numbers are inflated by being on the ice for 2 GF but I thought he was our worst defenseman/ heart attack generator.

I mean I wouldn’t consider 25 goals per 82 games elite goal scoring.

However, I will give it to him that it’s a tough shot but if markstrom has any situational awareness that’s not even close to being a goal

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

I’m talking about skating movement rather than puck movement.

Yea, they did plenty of that

 

[NjDevsRR]

Also gotta remember, Timo playing through back spasms

 

[My3Sons]

So I was traveling and missed the game. Did anyone on Carolina get pummeled either within or without thr rules? Who is your least favorite Canes player and why is it Sasquatch?

 

[Better Call Sal]

I thought Timo and Nico played fine games. Both of them were fractions away from potting one since they each hit a post. Timo used his size and played physical all night. Totally fine game from them.

too bad, it was an awesome win

...and now i expect the team to run off the next 8 games before the leafs. why the hell not?

and all stalls are pukes

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Is it possible we won because the Canes were expecting to play against Vanacek

or expecting to feast on Dillon-Hamilton pairing

Beating the Canes is gratifying.

oh you know it! ....even better, i was on the clock while watching it...just got home about a half hour ago and i could totally go for a beer right now but will hold off

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

As expected, the Luke-Pesce pairing helped a lot in game 2 against the Canes

 

[Devs3cups]

Siegs: 85.09% xGF% 5v5
Kovacevic: 84.09% xGF% 5v5

Money.

 

[Hisch13r]

If the Leafs had just 1 fewer pt we’d be 4th in the conference in pts% while also being 4th in the division

 

[NjDevsRR]

I also liked the third lines mentality tonight. Heavy forecheck and they were taking everything to the net

 

[Bcap88]

Great adjustment by keefe and the team to stifle the canes forcheck as the game went on.

Lindy woulda had his thumb up his nose to a 5-2 loss

It's crazy what coaching can do.

Wut

Jack Hughes .38 gpg
Svechnikov. . .32 gpg

Not frigging bad. Ones a sniper, one isn't?

 

[Whaddagoal]

Who noticed Dougie hitting some dude down behind the net. Progress.
