Habs @ Leafs - Jan. 18th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

The second PK unit is much worse than last year, that accounts for most of the drop in its efficiency. Granted the first unit hasn't been as good either but the overall drop is mostly on the second unit.
 
The leafs seem to be rattled by that Habs goal. Just looking to get through the rest of the period. They need to start the second period the same as they started the first.

Shoot the f'n puck. Could have easily been up three or four if they quit trying to be so cute. Now a penalty.

For sure.  One too many passes on that last rush by JVR and Kessel.

Been like that all period. Numerous chances and they try to make an extra pass. Probably the best period I f the year or one of the best. Skating well, crisp passing, hitting and we are tied 1-1. Squandered some good chances.
 
Gunnarson made a bad play in that failed pass and his lack of foot speed contributed to the call.  If one of the younger players made that mistake he might be benched by RC for a period.

Don't we have a limit of something like 20-25 shots per game though?

McClement, Gunnarsson, and Phaneuf have all been on the ice for about twice the amount of PPGA this season than last season.

If Kessel shoots the damn puck we could have been up 2-0 and there would have been no penalty.

Except it wasn't a penalty.
 
I trust the Leafs understand that they can't let themselves become preoccupied with Subban's behavior.

"Could" have been.  If JVR puts the backhand on net the Leafs could have been up 2-0.  If Raymond lifts the puck it could have been 2-0.

Kessel shoots the puck a ton.  He chose to pass it there.  Stop obsessing over it.
