Jets @ Leafs - Oct. 27th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

Connor Brown struggles to make the simple plays as well.

The lack of scoring at home is perplexing.  They have to figure out how to get better at home.

Levio... shoot that man.

Leivo has lowest hockey IQ I?ve ever seen from an NHL player.

Levio... shoot that man.

Team has had 4 or 5 good shooting area shots and we don?t shoot. Annoying.

Marincin demonstrating why he's got some nice chance against numbers: his stick was on Laine's puck the whole time, disrupting control just enough to prevent anything interesting from happening.

The sample size is way too small to really suggest this has anything to do with home vs away yet. The bottom 6 has produced zero offence essentially either way.

He's what Zaitsev fans think Zaitsev is.

You?re right.  Eye test has been obvious though, IMO.  Listless at home, motivated on the road.

Those summer games playing forward look like they've paid off for Marincin.

That pinch down to support Brown (and vice versa) was fantastic. Head up the whole way, unlike Zaitsev and Leivo. I was hoping he would toe drag the guy at the circle.

That was rough, Marner and Kadri caught flatfooted after Ozhiganov pinches for some reason.

Scheifele frickin' buries it.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Eeesh. That's the last place you want to turn the pick over at.

 

[lc9]

That play by Kadri is the definition of listless.  Every home game is the same.  Basically at this point you?re hoping they play every game on the road.

Leafs just keep passing, passing and no shot on goal. Doesn't look good on HNIC as usual!

 

[lc9]

1 goal in nearly 8 periods at home, and that 1 goal was meaningless. 

 

[Zee]

Perhaps the Leafs don't want home ice advantage in the playoffs

 

[TML fan]

This is why I'll never pay to see a game.

And the reason I keep bringing up home versus road is due to frustration.  Watching how electric the fans in Winnipeg leaves no doubt that fans are an advantage.  Even when the leafs are buzzing at home the crowd is a non factor.  Toronto is an easy place to play a road game because the building is always so quiet.

The dead quiet arena doesn't help Leafs home games at all.

Keep repeating it here and maybe they'll hear it over there.
