Oilers @ Leafs - Jan. 20th, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

[L K]

Just because I'm bitter and never good at letting things go.  Why was that hit where the Oiler player tried to take out Muzzin's leg in the last minute not a penalty?  He didn't flop to the ice so therefore it wasn't a penalty but he completely whiffed on a check and tried to take out his leg.

Hopefully Coach Matthews makes some changes for the game tomorrow.

Really? He feels the need to say this to the media? Talk to the coach, not the reporters. I welcome some defensive structure to their game. We have had no success without it.

Full quote:

?When we go through the pre-scout, obviously we key in on those two guys,? Matthews said of McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. ?They?re extremely dangerous. Two of the top two players in the world. We can?t get away from our game, (though). We?ve got to go out there and play our game and try to produce offence. We?ve got to play to win ? not play to contain two guys.

?I think we?ve got to regroup as a team, do a good job of watching video and learning from some mistakes and trying to apply some stuff to this next game because we?ve got these guys in another day here.?

Yeah, absolutely nothing wrong with what Matthews said.

I never blame officiating, this game was different, the call on Marner highly questionable, on Muzzin complete BS.  Marner was like a pinball machine with pucks bouncing off him, some of those passes have to stick Mitch. Lots of bad bounces but overall a very good Defensive effort that I think we all have been longing to see. Good shutdown of McDavid and the other guy named D.
I want to see Vesey skate with his hair actually on fire, perhaps some BBQ  starters would work.  I am really disappointed and expected a lot more. Simmons on the real edge of his career. 
Time to get Hyman back on the top line and move Souperman to line 2.  Let Barbanov fill in on line three as he is supposed to be Hyman lite.  Someone please teach Spezza how to score goals

Once again better and fuller context prevails [emoji846]

One thing I would have liked to see was Keefe get Matthews' line away from McDavid. They did a great job of holding him off, but they sacrificed their own offence in doing so.
