Can you believe this guy was on pressbox duty for a whole season even after the Marlies staff had been begging the coaching staff to try him out for 3 years while they desperately needed RD who is big and tough and blocks and skates?

I've been impressed with Holl so far. Don't know why Babs didn't give him a shot last year but glad he has this season. Hope he continues to progress because if he and Dermott can push the top 4, it could take minutes away from Rielly and that would be a win all around.

Nylander went for the pass after using up his burst energy to make it back. Then he kept his momentum to take Wilson off the puck and save a goal.

This is what you should be more angry about.

I'm most upset by the tying goal. And the issue didn't happen when Reilly got turned inside out. It happened in the offensive zone when Matthews basically stepped out of the way to let Oshie carry the puck out of the zone. Matthews is a great talent but the man needs to initiate contact once in a while.

Yeah, I cringed when I saw that. A typical Kessel/JVR stick wave as the opponent skates on by. Terrible decision but the Leafs had 3 guys within striking distance of the puck carrier as he reached the blue line, so plenty of blame to go around.

There was a similar play earlier in the game when a Capital (can't remember who) had the puck near the Leaf blueline and there were at least 4 Leafs around him, but he managed to stickhandle around all of them. Nobody put a body on him.
