Part of the problem might be that they put Matthews et al out there with like three and a half minutes left, then pull the goalie at 2 minutes and leave the same players on the ice...so those already over-worked players (who have already played 20 minutes or more) wind up being on the ice for...

The other real question is what body part(s) is he having surgery on after the season.

So what is there to say. As usual, the Leafs are competitive, keep the game close, but in the end can't score more than 2 goals and are let down by their penalty killing (and power play of course). Florida overall looks faster, they forecheck more effectively and are really good at obstructing...

What is with the time management at the end of games...

That fanned shot is so perfectly emblematic of the season Matthews is having.

Now we just need Domi to assist on the tying goal

I guess I should have used the sarcasm tag...

That's what I was thinking. Leafs are fully healthy and yet, they are getting outplayed.

PP looks ready for the playoffs.

thx, didn't realize

Has Domi played since the fight? edit...ok, he's out there now

Heck of a start and yes, if Domi plays like that more often, that would be great.

Saw this article earlier today on the topic. I agree with the premise...it (2 line team) hasn't worked before so why not experiment a bit. And I don't mean just in the third period when the game is out of hand. Come up with something that might work and give it a reasonable trial...

If they get the defense healthy and can somehow return to playing like they did at the start of the season, they could win a round or two. Maybe even more if the stars finally come through (not likely especially with whatever is going on with Matthews). But an injury to one of the top 5 dmen...

neither?

leafs are just begging for a goal against with all this dzone time

Team lately has looked like they are just going through the motions a lot of the time. Almost like they have nothing to play for (except maybe first place).

I think he is the most important player on this team going into the playoffs.
