A two game winning streak from .500.
Eternal optimist. They visually look better. Let’s see JP become the next Yamamoto.

What's a 2 game win streak? Is it allowed to win more than 1 in a row?

I need to see a little power on the shots from Puljujarvi. He needs a team sweeping to get some of those to the net. I like a lot of what he's doing out there, but the shots have all been harmless - even the one on the partial breakaway. Also would like to see just a little less panic from him. There's been a few times it looks like he gets in to a little traffic and just throws the puck away.
Larsson was dreadful last night. Even accomplished Oilers bootlicker Kurt Leavins was calling him out (although David Staples still thinks he's playing just fine). It's always tough to sit a veteran like that, but at the same time, if we have better options (and we do), I don't think you can afford not to try them.
Ultimately it wasn't a terrible game. The Oilers were in it the whole way, but the Leafs powerplay was the difference.
I did hear a stat yesterday (I think Steve Valiquette was the source) saying that no goalie let more goals in when tied in the third period than Koskinen - said he was the least clutch goalie in the league. That's...not ideal.
The team really needs to go on a bit of a winning streak here or this season is going to slip away fast.

Ain’t going no where until we string a couple 4 out 5 games in a row and we can’t afford to wait much longer. We can hope everyone else keeps spinning their tires besides Montreal, but it’s likely not the best course of action.
We looked infinitely better than we did against the Habs, but no where close to acceptable. Relying on The wheels to come off of three clubs below us is unacceptable.
