Leafs @ Penguins - Dec 9, 7:00pm - CBC

Yeah who didn't see that coming.

"Hey look they have a goalie who's played one game in his life! Let's play defence!"

 
My problem with the Leafs that period has they didn't press DeSmith right off.  Later, Matthews and Marner both had looks and didn't shoot.  This pass-first mentality from those guys needs to be balanced by shooting more.
 
The refereeing is simply scandalous again, it?s honestly turning me off the league.

I know you have to allow for mistakes in a fast paced game, but things seem to be getting worse, not better.

The Penguins are so professionally good at cheating it?s almost admirable.

I would blame Mitch more than Auston for the pass first mentality. At least Mitch has a couple guys who he can pass to that have some sort of finish. Good play in that period when Auston passed it to Hyman and didn't do anything with it. Could have made it 4-1 and then he takes a stupid penalty. Next thing you know it's 3-2.
 
Sitting back too much. Don't like it and how long before Babcock figures out Matthews line hasn't done sh*t against Crosby and keep matching up against them.
 
Break the Matthews line up already.  Mattthews unbelievably cold and the line is getting hemmed in.

You might as well as spit into the wind!  Babcock ain't listening!
 
We have Nylander and Marner on this team and Matthews playing with Hoglund and Renberg

It's mind boggling.

That was a scary collision and I was surprised to see Matthews back out there. Hopefully there are no lingering effects.
