Capitals @ Leafs - Nov. 25th. 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

I know you can?t wrap Matthews in cotton wool, but if they let guys like Orlov absolutely mug him like that he will start to break down ala Crosby.

If you?re going to dress Martin, Orlov?s face should look like ground beef right now.

 
So many teams with multiple goalies they can role through, and the Leafs have to rely on Curtis McElhinney on back to back nights.  That is poor roster management.  CM is another beer league player.

Martin and CM could both go join a local adult rec league and they wouldn't much improve.

Martin does absolutely nothing to prevent this stuff.  Orlov?s job is to stop Matthews not worry about the 1:35 a game he might be on the ice with Martin.

Yes, this. 
 
Just noticed the ads on the boards are all purple. Wish it were like that every night, it's much less distracting. White would be even better.

McElhinney is super awful.  Both of Ovis goal needed to be stopped. 

I hate how Babcock (and by extension, Shannahan) throw in the towel for the 2nd half of the back to backs.  McElhinney has no business in the NHL.
 
The gap control by Leafs' D is pretty atrocious tonight. Why it Reilly backing off  Ovechkin and making himself into a screen?

More generally the team speed seems to be way down in recent games. Unclear if it's the line combos or what but it's weird.
