HAT TRICK.

Marner with the assist.

Now the question, can we hold the lead?

Going to have to change that 3rd line.  Leivo and Brown with Kadri isn't quite working.

Leafs remind me of the Oilers.  Too much dependency on offense which will lead to too many losses.  Hockey isn't like baseball where you can just home run your way out of trouble. 

Best offense is set up by a settled defense and this defense just isn't cutting it.

Matthews scored as I was typing that  ;D

Kapanen could be the permanent answer for that 2nd line with Matthews. Nylander gets traded for a much needed defenseman??.

Yes absolutely.  Nylander is not what this team needs.

You?re welcome everyone. I just started watching the shift before he scored the hattie.

 

[lc9]

Dermott saved a goal there.

 

[cujo4ever]

Wow, John Tavares. Wow.

Thanks.

 

[ZBBM]

WHAT A SHOT, Tavares!!!!

My word.  I love that guy.

Picking it out of the air like that.  He and Matthews play a lot alike.

 

[Zee]

Is Tavares a Leaf?

 

[Guilt Trip]

Great battle between Matthews and Toews and then great goal by JT. Love it.
Sparks was painfully slow reading that play. Great save from Dermott.

 

[ZBBM]

Dermott saved a goal there.

He's been both good.  and bad.  But he makes things happen.

Sparks is all over the place.  Not in a good way.

 

[ZBBM]

Sparks is all over the place.  Not in a good way.

He hasn't been quite as perfectly solid as you'd like.

 

[lc9]

Damn, Kap could have ended it there. 

 

[cujo4ever]

Beauty stop by Sparks, followed by a couple more by Ward.

That's being nice. He's way too busy back there and I'm not talking shots. Way too much movement.

One might say he?s a ten years younger Curtis McElhinney.
