Blue Jackets @ Leafs - Oct. 21st, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

That one's on Matthews but I can see trying to stay on and make the magic work.  They got burned.

Not according to the announcers he didn't

Friedman shows the replay after the game.  The back official called it.  Marner hooked him from behind.  It also didn't stop his scoring chance.

Be that as it may they should have called a penalty late in the game when Gauthier got pulled down.  It used to be the Leafs didn't get calls because they complained all the time.  Now they don't get them just because they're the Leafs, apparently.
 
They deserved to lose that game. And they will likely lose tomorrow.  Each game Babcock gets worse.  Let?s every other coach dictate the terms.  The players respond to that.  In babcocks first year the team had zero talent but worked hard.  The last few years lots of talent and routinely they get outworked. 

The effort by marner and Matthews is highly concerning.  So many boneheaded plays and just being lazy.
 
Marner with the Goat horns tonight.

Disagree. It's on all 3 of them but it was a hell of a shift before that point. I'd rather lose trying to score then pull the Babs and try not to lose.

For all the things they weren't calling. For god sakes.
Felt like a game against Boston the way things were called.

Oh good, we get to see that tomorrow night. Joy.

Like I say, I can see trying it but OTOH Nylander hadn't even seen the ice yet.  It would have been better to regroup.  But hindsight is 20/20.

True enough. I didn't mind them trying tho. Rielly probably should have changed. I really hated Babs putting the checkers out first tho. Wtf is he doing?
 
Two late game decisions from Babcock:

-Splitting up Matthews-Nylander
-Pulling Matthews-Marner back from the ice to line match the start of OT

I don't understand those two moves

I don't get the pulling of Matthews-Marner. I kind of get splitting them up because they scored in OT last game but that line did score twice tonight. He makes some weird decisions.
 
Was at the game tonight as well. Babcocks decisions are mind boggling. The reffing tonight was horrible absolutely horrible but this team needs a change and it needs to start behind the bench. Same shit I complain about all the time still plagues this team. Horrible in their own end and no grit.

They were lucky to get a point Saturday and again with Andersen on the front end. Not expecting much tomorrow.

Nonetheless been great getting to two games and both going to OT.

Finally Babcock and company need to call out this reffing because it?s atrocious against us.
 
This is off-topic but I thought I'd check the election results on CBC.ca after the NYT said Trudeau is projected to hold on.  I like the CBC but their website is kind of awful.
