Canadiens vs. Maple Leafs - Jan. 21st, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

Tavares stayed on ... WHY?  Didn't do anything to stop Pitlick.  Terrible management by him, he could have gotten off.

And he's too slow for all that open ice.

C'mon that's on Samsonov. He kept him outside, stoppable shot.
 
Garbage result against a garbage team. This game was frustrating to watch after the first period. They quit playing in the 2nd, then couldn't score when they needed to in the 3rd.

This team sometimes. Ugh.
 
That's just unacceptable by Tavares.  Everybody else managed their time well.  Goddamit.

I am not going to trash him but he is a liability at this point in OT.  Doesn't have the horses and his whole game is about in-close, in-tight.  Keefe needs to make the tough decision and not send him out in OT.

Tavares is at fault here...again

He had nothing in the tank.  Didn't do anything to disrupt the shot.

No bitching about Mariner's drop pass that turned it over?

Stoppable shot...End of story

None of them were great but why are you defending Tavares?

Allowed by exhausted "defender."  Story amended.

Because you're laying blame on him for the goal and it isn't on him, regardless of the change.
 
The bottom line is they played down to a team they should have wiped the floor with.  Same old same old.

Yeah, stoppable shot.
 
For the love of God, please stop deploying Tavares in OT! Unless it is to win a faceoff and get off, he has no business out there against other teams best skaters.  Him trying to play man to man and close gaps on that much open ice is a tall order.
I would much rather see guys like Kerfoot and Engvall get worked into the rotation.
