Suter got 2 games for one the other day, refs missed that one too.
The 1st line skate to the opposing blue line while their d has it deep in their own zone has happened 4 times since the start of the period.
It makes my blood boil almost as much as every shot of David Clarkson.

Like many a young depth player who looks good in pre-season, he's been completely forgotten and passed over. These guys fall down the depth chart pretty quickly.

It seems that there have been a lot of bad calls against the Leafs the past week or so.

I keep seeing Kessel circle in the d zone while the d carry it out or pass it to him. But I wouldn't expect to see it every play.
Boiling blood should be checked out with your doctor.

Also, considering the score, some cheating to try to create offence should be expected. It wasn't something that was really happening before Anaheim went up by 3. I don't mind it when the team is down by a few. It's really more of an issue in close games.

So...
New coach = few(er) goals, fewer shots allowed, shutout/shutdown, better balanced effort/improved possession game
Old coach = more goals, more shots allowed, either on or sputtering, poor coordinaton defensively/poor possession game
... okay, which one would you rather have?

I only watched the first period, but it looked like they got some chances. I was surprised to find out they had been shut out again.
It's a road trip against teams we know are superior, new coach has only been behind the bench 4 games, and they're missing some key pieces (Holland, Komarov, Lupul). I'm still not going to read too much into these losses, but the shut outs still sting.

For this season I'd rather win the possession battle and lose the games. We've all already seen the same story over and over again when we lose that battle but win the games. You've heard that probably-fake definition of insanity by Einstein, right? Be patient. Let the Leafs work out their issues, the same issues we've been seeing for years now. If being a better team in the future means maybe sacrificing this season then so be it.

You act like it's been forever since they scored. Scoring slumps happen. Leafs had 5 or more years of being outshot and losing more games than they've won.

Wait, so those were Clarkson's numbers in a (supposedly) cheating-for-offense system!?
