OldTimeHockey said:I managed to take this game in live. A couple things I noticed:
-Samsonov played very well. My only observation is that he's a little too aggressive which leads him to have a hard time getting to rebounds.
-Tavares, Nylander and Robertson were the best line on the ice
-The Leafs play in the defensive zone is a dumpster fire. The D are giving away the puck constantly.
-Mete was ok. Definitely did not notice any glaring mistakes.
-Holl is terrible.

I thought it was pretty clear that it was offside.
I do not know why they wouldn't have challenged it.
Saw an article I cannot find a link to now that reviewed the 4th line game stats.
Said they had a lot of good numbers for the game.
I thought they did a decent job.
Clifford tripping call (which seems to happen to anyone) being the only blemish.

cw said:I also agree with the article Herman posted that if you played them 82 games, teams would bait them into penalties, etc and they probably wouldn't win as many games. To have someone like that around, when fighting is ticking up (slightly ahead of last year), for a game against an opponent like the Jets, isn't a bad thing though.
I also think having players who can be inserted helps keep players on their toes.
Aube-Kubel, Malgin & Engvall are re-evaluating what they have to do to stay in the line up.
They're all playing for their NHL lives or next year's contract, so they're very likely to give it everything they've got.

I prefer having a rotating cast in the bottom of the lineup (cap doesn't always make this possible), so the team can branch into slightly different playstyles for match ups. The stars are stars because they can do more different things at a high level; mix in a third banana in certain pairings or just scramble it all to get a completely different look.
Like the current iteration of the Tavares line has some nice rush potential and can hold it on the boards a bit, but you could go full grind to crush a third line match up by playing Engvall-Tavares-Jarnkrok, or flip Matthews from a puck-possession cycle line to Robertson-Matthews-Nylander for quick strike rush offense.
