Nik said:This may be confirmation bias at work but the Leafs still feel like they have way, way too many situations where I just have no idea where their defensemen are. They gave up two breakaways on a PK. How does that even happen? Why would you ever send defensemen past centre ice when a man down? Likewise the second Anderson goal. Their 2nd defenseman, whoever it was, wasn't even the 3rd guy back.

franchise history in which the team overcame a multi-goal deficit to win a season-opening game.

That being said, they need to get it together quickly. Tight schedule with every game being in the division means things can go south quickly.

With every game being a divisional game (even the ones you don't play) you can get behind real quick. Every single gave your division plays someone is getting points.OldTimeHockey said:bustaheims said:I'm willing to cut the team some slack, with it being the first game of the season, no exhibition games to get back into the swing of things, etc. Both teams looked sloppy at times.

I agree 100%.
Like they said a couple times. Every game is a swing game. Lose 3 in a row and you've lost lots of ground. Especially with so many back to backs with the same team. You don't want that losing streak to come when you're playing against the team you're chasing, or for that matter, to the team that is chasing you.
