Leafs are playing 5-D basically now. Dermott had just 1 shift early in the 3rd. He'll learn much better watching from the bench though.

Meanwhile, Polak's giveaway on the PK almost leads to the go-ahead goal. So, like 4 more minutes for him the rest of the way?

No, the fans want Babcock to ride his horses so Polak is out for the rest of the game.

Dermott gets shift #2 of the period.

And thanks to the Leafs getting hemmed in after Polak tries to one-hand a pass along the blue line, Dermott probably doesn't get a 3rd.
 
See, Babcock shuffles some lines now that he said he wouldn't because, you know, NOW it's HIS idea, not 100% of us stupid hockey fans...

He has been strong tonight.

He just muscled one to center ice at the end of a tough shift.

He's playing like he's 6'5", which he hasn't really done at the NHL level before. On that play at centre ice the Philly player even gave him a shot there, getting under their skin a bit.
 
Polak on the ice when we get hemmed in for 2mins. Defensive defenseman. Although to be fair we deserve to lose this now. Just puke worthy.
 
I mean at least show a gutsy effort. It looks like we're rolling over except Andersen is begging us to keep playing.
 
I like the play style Babcock has.  I'm sure getting hemmed in your own zone for an entire period is a good strategy to get them ready for the postseason.
 
I'm also a big fan of 'the team is getting hemmed in their own zone all period...let's bench the rookie, he's probably to blame"

It's uncanny how often he's on the ice when the Leafs are hemmed in their own zone.
 
Polak basically skated all around the defensive zone on that last shift. For a second he was covering the opposing defenceman. That isn't a good thing.
