Avalanche @ Maple Leafs - Jan. 13th, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

I had the Leafs up 3-0 after one ? who else?

Not me.  I was expecting the McKinnon show.

Giordano needs to not play.

Gio's pinch got us Domi's goal. +2, 1 apple, 1 Hit, 4:50 TOI...the stat line doesn't agree

I will go sit in the corner for two minutes and feel shame.

The Avs are very shallow after line 1 and top pair. Our slightly better depth is eating them up.

But what a top line. Leafs are playing very well

Colorado's passes to open space to keep possession are worth the price of admission.  Great passing in the offensive zone.  Leafs are playing well to keep them outside

Colorado look pretty dangerous to me.
Their top dmen sneaking in are making coverage tough.
The game is closer than the score indicates.

They've switched all the goals to unassisted

If that stands, it would be unusual ...

EDIT:
It didn't stand ...
P. Holmberg (4), M. Giordano (6) assisted on Liljegren's goal

EDIT AGAIN!!
They changed it back to 3 unassisted goals

That poop-eating grin as he daps the benchies?

Both teams looked good to me in the first. Leafs got some bounces. 3-0, I'll take it!

He split Makar & Toews. I didn't notice that.
Even better.

Impressive period. Colorado looks looser in their own end than I thought they would, or maybe the Leafs are just making them look bad.

Jones looks so calm even when things are going nuts all around him.

Keep it up Leafs!

Matthews hooked in the slot taking away a scoring chance.  I get the score is 3-0 but Matthews really doesn't get enough drawn calls

And then the refs call a penalty on the Leafs and another one

What the hell was that defending.  The team quit on the play

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Keep the wheels on?..

 

[ZBBM]

That was supremely STUPID.

 

[azzurri63]

Giordano and Lilly playing with it behind the net. Move the bloody thing especially 37. No need for that give them some momentum.

 

[herman]

16, 34, 88 on each PK unit feels rather luxurious

16, 34, 88 on each PK unit feels rather luxurious

It will only cost you almost $40 million US bucks.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes.

 

[azzurri63]

The dreaded 3 goal lead.

 

[ZBBM]

Booooo 3-2

 

[L K]

Leafs are panicking. 

 

[Chris]

There's that Leafy dzone coverage in action.

There's that Leafy dzone coverage in action.

Can blame Matthews for making a nice pass to the Av's defensemen. That started it all.
