Time to expose Toronto’s slow D and outscore our deficiencies.

Holy crap, the Oil scored first off a lucky bounce. Weird.

Amazing how often the guys who are constantly skating, forechecking and digging seem to get more lucky bounces.

I know right? It's weird to me to see the Oil doing those things. Maybe if they become more consistent with that effort, I might stop being surprised by it.

They didn't allow a series of glorious scoring opportunities and had some good energy. Light years ahead of the previous two games.

Besides one extended shift in their own zone, I don’t see many negatives. Koskinen looking big in net. 14/15/39 line containing Tavares line. Barrie skating well. McDavid had a couple decent rushes. Chiasson just failed to pot one.
Glass half full.

Will the Leafs retire 97 when Big Joe retires? Hard to think of a recent player who's done more for the franchise.
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.

Thornton just following in the footsteps of Lindros, Owen Nolan and Leetch. A day late and a dollar short. I’m sure I’m missing countless other guys came to town too late in their careers to make a difference.
Spezza, Tavares.....

Keokkeok is the first D we've had in a while that just rips it every time from the point. I love it.

Not only this, but the eyes say he is calm in his own end which is something that can’t be said about the bulk of our D corps.
He’s a very welcome addition.

The Laffs goal wasn't "weird"- a crap play by Kass wound up in the Oil net. Of all people in the world, Matthews is the last person you should turn the puck over to in that area.

Ask and you shall receive. Dr Drai puts the Oil ahead again.

Yeah, up until Drai scored, the Oil PP was looking absolutely horrid.

Be warned, there will be a sketchy PP for the Leafs coming up. Refs now feel like they owe them one.

Was about to go postal on this power play and then they go and do that. Regardless up until the goal, it was a Keystone Cops performance.

Remind me again what exactly Kassian brings to that first line? He's not hitting or retrieving pucks, not agitating, not shooting...lots of no look behind the back passes (that inevitably get picked off) though.
Edit: Heh, thought he was going to make me eat my words there, but nope.

Sigh, can Connor get someone better than Kass to play with? A better winger would have made it 3-1 on that rush.

Sheeeeiittt, an inanimate carbon rod would do better if Connor just banked the puck off it into the opposing net.

Kass brings the ‘deterrent’ factor.
He CAN skate. He CAN have decent hands. He CAN bring energy.
He just doesn’t do it consistently.

By "consistently", you mean he hasn't done it since his new contract was signed.
