Leafs @ Blues - Feb. 19th, 8:00pm - SNO, TSN 1050

Why did it have to be Hyman to get that pass?

 

[louisstamos]

Leafs playing great to start the 2nd, but can't buy a goal...

 

[Al14]

All hands Hyman, NOT to the rescue!

 

[Guilt Trip]

With Kadri out it's a good chance to put 29 with Matthews again. Extra shifts for  Matthews and JT.

 

[Zee]

I really hate to jump on the "they don't try" bandwagon, but honestly...they don't try.

Skill will only take you so far. They're finding that out now.

I'm not making excuses here but St. Louis is like 8th layer of hell hot right now.

Anytime you say "but" after "I'm not making excuses", you're making excuses.

I'm sorry how many shutouts have they had in the last three games? Their record is what? They've outscored the opposition by how much?

The previous 10 games mean nothing in relation to this game. Leafs were garbage in the first plain and simple. They have more talent than the Blues up front but weren't showing it.

And that's why I'm in the trade him and Brown.. Use that money for Johnsson and Kappy

 

[Highlander]

S.L. are a team on a roll, Leafs know they can basically mail it in. Maybe we are lulling them all to sleep. Babs master plan.

 

[Strangelove]

Muzzin looked better his first 5 games here when he didn?t know our d system but now that he?s learned it he looks worse. Lol.

He looked better because he wasn't stuck with Zaitsev.

Zaitsev, without exaggeration, makes every player around him worse.

 

[lamajama]

So my sat signal has crapped out since the end of the 1st period....not sure if I should stay unhappy or .......

You could say that about a lot of teams St. Louis has crushed during this streak. I'm just saying I don't think it's wrong acknowledging the Blues have literally been the best team in the league for the last 10 games. TBay, Nashville, Boston, Washington.

 

[Strangelove]

Also, ever since Babcock "improved" the defensive core by reuniting the team's fifth best defenceman with Rielly and giving the him more ice-time than Muzzin, Rielly's possession-related stats and other advanced metrics have gotten worse across the board.

 

[Guilt Trip]

4th line disaster again.

 

[lc9]

Brown puts himself offside. 

 

[lc9]

4th line disaster again.

Gotta keep them of the ice.

This high powered offense sure looks easy to defend right now.

Hey full marks to St Louis for turning it around but 6 of their 10 wins were against bad teams like Anaheim, Colorado, NJs of the world.

 

[BrownRolo]

I as so confused when I heard the horn go. Seriously thought it was the doomsday horn!

 

[lc9]

Is there any doubt that Babcock is the common factor in the awful defensive play?  The d zone strategy is sit back and wait for the other team to shoot.  4 years now. 

 

[dekedastardly]

So when Babcock asks his players to "play heavy", he can show them tape of the Blues tonight.

 

[Zee]

Just saw Pierre McGuire interviewing Babcock during the game, I'm sure he's thrilled by that

 

[lc9]

One shot and done.  All night. 

Just friggen compete.  That?s all it takes.
