That's a tough goal. You'd like Andersen to stop that but the bounces aren't going our way and it somewhat flukily gets through.

I'd like our Dman to actually block the guy out.

D men don't block anyone out. Sandin had one guy in front of the net Marincin standing in the slot doing sweet F all. Either block the shot or take the guy that's open.

That's what I said. That goal is on him regardless of the turnover. Don't know why they pulled Liljegren. I'd rather live with his mistakes then Marincin's.

100% agree but unfortunately management doesn't see that. Whatever team is a mess. Team that was picked to be a contender and we will be lucky to make the playoffs.
Frustrating season with injuries and managements decisions.
 
I?d like to see them give Campbell an extended look. It?s impossible to quantify but the team looks tentative in front of Andersen and generally afraid to make a mistake. They?re only going to have a chance to win if they play loose.

Also I would like to see a comparison before and after Mikhayev?s injury. It feels like secondary scoring and wins have fallen off a cliff since then.

I don't agree with that but I do think it's stupid to be more concerned with "Who's the #1" than just riding a hot hand.

That's the problem. Leafs are too loosey goose. They need to stop turning the puck over with their cute little passes. Secondary scoring is gone. The bottom 6 are doing nothing, minus Spezza. Maybe I'm over thinking stuff but Korshkov scored last game, let him play this game.
 
I could live with more defensive miscues than the average team as long as we're generating more chances too. But they've had nothing tonight in the Pittsburgh end.

Don't even go there. These guys didn't get where they are without it. As for the last goal, again, glad Marincin is back in the lineup. Stop the f'n pass. This should be he last game ever.

Let me rephrase that then. It concerns me that Leafs have less determination than other teams.  It seems like they can't win a puck battle.  That comes down to determination.
 
I like how this team apparently has no depth and is headed for a bigger cap crunch next year.  We may need to revisit trading one of the big contracts to revamp this roster
 
These guys are pretenders. They need to go on a run to prove me wrong. This is an atrocious stretch they've played in the last 10.
