You could see the sag last night after the second one went in. They seem to live and die by their goalies.
Just my opinion.
|
They were 11-2 coming into these past 2 games, I believe #1 in scoring. If they sagged after the second one went in with 2.5 periods left and you are out shooting the Leafs at that point, then they are pretty fragile mentally which is a big problem.
|
They still outshot the Leafs by a significant margin. I do think psychologically it's difficult when both goalies start you in a hole every night like they have been. There's definitely enough blame to go around on the goaltending for their miserable performances the last two games (and even the comeback game for that matter).
I do think the team needs to adjust to what Toronto is doing - because right now it looks like they have a game plan for playing the Oilers, and the Oilers plan is short-circuited because of it. It would help to have more penalties called on the Leafs, but the team can't rely on that and honestly, it does look like the Leafs are playing pretty disciplined.
I do put some of this on coaching. We saw last year in the playoffs that Tippett was slow to respond to what Chicago was doing effectively, and he doesn't seem to have made any real changes yesterday. We'll see if he does anything for the next game or if it looks pretty much the same. Toronto definitely was doing a good job trying to contain McDavid and Draisaitl, and keeping shots to the outside. They made it a lot easier on their goalies to get those shutouts, because the Oilers didn't seem to have a lot of chances from the kill zone.
I do hope that Tippett sticks with Bouchard. He and Bear were on for the early goals, but those were virtually the only chances against them all game and they pushed the puck in the right direction the rest of the game. Their on-ice save percentage last night was ridiculously bad.
