I didn't like the defensive shell the team decided to go into in the 3rd but I give them credit for battling back and winning this one. This is a game they had to have to keep their faint playoff hopes alive.
When McDavid hit that post on the empty net, I thought for sure the Sabres would tie it up.
Short stint but ever since Talbot was traded, Koskinen has looked really good except for the Leafs game. I think he is over .920 since the trade. I hope this is a trend of what is to come and make that early signing look like a good one. I would keep playing him a lot.
Leon scored another goal and made another ridiculous pass to set up the game tying goal. Second in the league in goals scored, good chance he will score 50 goals this season. Tied for 5th overall in points with some guy called Sidney Crosby and probably gets 100 points. Man that guy is "overpaid" and lazy.

Drai on pace for 50G, 50A too. When was the last time someone got 50 of each? I don't recall it happening in the last 5 years or so. Maybe Malkin 6-7 years ago? I think he had 50G 50+ A at one point...maybe 2011? Too lazy to look it up right now.

I am a big fan of Leon and while I always want ALL players to make less, I never understood the crap this guy takes at times. He still does. Then I look at who's been signed since him. Eichel 10 mill who is not 1.5 mill better and won't outscore Leon. Matthews is 11.634 next year. I have a hard time believing that Matthews is over 3 mill better and I am not convinced he will outscore Leon. Tkachuk for the Flames is coming up who's a very good player. I'd have him on my team. He might not get quite as much as Leon but I bet it's in the ball park. I wouldn't be surprised to see Tkachuk making no more than 1 mill less than Leon and Leon is superior to Tkachuk.

Something happened with LD ~ 20 games ago, I think he either clicked with one of the staff or decided on his own to change his game. Parts of his game prior, that were open to criticism, seem to be gone. No more low percentage prayer passes, the feet are moving with the puck, defensively better. The switch was hit and went from very good talented player to playing a more complete elite game, I don't know what his turnover stats are now but the difference has to be significant.
