Where?s Ceci?s shot?

I never understand these things. So BJs outplayed Toronto because there heat map is all over the place?

They're just shot (and miss) locations from the game; you can make better inferences from this than raw shot/shot attempt counts regarding the teams' offensive strategies and defensive success. The Leafs focused on getting into the high danger areas to make their attempts. The Blue Jackets shot from generally three prime locations but didn't get into the middle quite as often (to be fair they were ahead for 59:38 of the game).

This one gives you the danger-level (xG, expected goals) of the shot with the circle size.

That comeback might actually represent the cathartic breakthrough that turns the identity of the Leafs in the playoffs.

Or just extra pain for the fanbase as they string along hopes for 2 days
Love your positive attitude lol. I hope people will just enjoy the game. 3rd year in a row we go to game 7...I know it's game 5.

I can?t stress how much I hate Foligno.  He blatantly tripped Rielly near the boards.  That wasn?t even remotely an attempt at a play on the puck.  If it was a cross check on that play it?s a major for boarding.  Meanwhile he?s jawing at Rielly the whole time after doing it.

Obviously I'm biased, but I'm having a hard time seeing what the people who claim Rielly flopped and stepped on the stick are seeing. This could've been big bad news and everyone is lucky no one got hurt.

The Reverse-Boston-Game-7. Absolutely epic. I need that Joe Bowen radio call!

Yep senile Hughson thinks Kapanen is out on the PP1. Haven't you been doing Leaf games forever Hughson?

That tandem is the worst. Hughson clearly is not a Leaf fan and I can't stand Simpson. He is constantly chuckling when describing any replay and it drives me crazy.

There is nothing funny about what you are saying! Why are you laughing!

It's the Leafs. People don't need logic to complain about the Leafs.

Also I'm glad Rielly stayed down because by the sounds of it they weren't going to call a penalty until they thought Rielly was badly injured. 

NHL Reffing folks!

Well they missed the call on Robertson so I'm glad they called it. It was a dangerous play. I actually like Bieksa. Tells it like it is and he did point out that Foligno did lift Reilly's foot with his stick. Very lucky he didn't get hurt.

Can't stand Hughson and Simpson, as in Craig. I like Christine. Wished we had Cuthbert and Ferraro.

I've hated him since his Sudbury Wolves days. Always been a rule-skirter, borderline dirty bassturd.
 
The Leafs got stoned a bunch of times by Merzlikins in periods 1 and 2. Then quietly, under the radar, Zach Werenski doesn't play the last half of the third. We pull our goalie, Merzlikins turns off the magic and we score THREE GOALS WITH THE NET EMPTY. A stick/slew-foot (very dangerous) draws the call in O/T and Auston wins it.

Absolutely epic.

Ferraro works for TSN
 
Leafs are the first team in NHL history to comeback 3 goals with less than five minutes left in an elimination playoff game.

I know he does but I like him as a commentator. Him and Miller are great together but I also like CC.
