Penguins @ Leafs - Feb. 20th, 7:00pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

Pretty embarrassing effort from the Penguins tonight. Couldn't win a face-off. Didn't cover the front of the net. Kept trying to be cute with their passes. Clearly not contenders if they can get beat like this. Should probably sell at the deadline and regroup for next season.

;D

Interestingly they have only one UFA this summer (Schultz) but 8 RFA including both of their goalies. Their cap situation could be pretty interesting next summer.

You forgot Murray's weak weak goal on Nylander.

Not gonna spend any time fact checking this but I'm sure the Leafs' record is better with Kerfoot at C. I get the Leafs like him at wing but the alternatives when he's there just aren't doing it. Don't move him again. Unless of course there's a Jumbo transaction coming up.

I'd rate this above the St. Louis game.  Smothered them all night and did it coming off a horrible game.

The Leafs outscored the Penguins these past two games.

Scored 6 unanswered along the way.

Everything went right for them tonight but that's the template.  Kind of the best of Babcock's "playing the right way" with Keefe's trapeze act.

It helps that Muzzin had his best game since coming here.

Malgin > Malkin, this time.

Great CTB, sounds like another team I know, Leaf fans are like Lemmings, every two or three bad games we are running for the cliffs in a mass suicide attempt.  Either the players get the Coach and play like this or they play like the team of the last several games but you can't pin the bad play on Keefe. 
We are capable of Greatness.  Just need Freddie to show up with his Anderson Game.

 

[bustaheims]

Can?t overlook the importance of the PK late in the first. It wasn?t smothering or anything, but it showed the team that Andersen was on his game tonight. The Leafs absolutely took over the game from there.

1-0 with Malgin in the lineup! Let's go!!!

What?s great about playing this type of game on the regular is everyone gets more puck touches up and down the lineup and your stars get better rest.

I only saw the first and a few minutes of the second but yeah I noticed Muzzin right away. He came to play tonight, they should announce his contract now that the fanbase loves his again lol

I think having a player fit right in on the JT line allowed Keefe to put Kerfoot back to centre. Thx Dubas

Slightly under heralded this year given everything else swirling around this team is Zachary Hyman just crushing it coming off a major injury and recovery.

Hope Leafs win.  It?s my birthday today and a win would be the topping on the cake!

Thank you all.  It was a nice win for a Leaf fan?s birthday!

A shutout for Freddy and a shoutout to the Leafs!

P.S.  The actual cake was delicious ?Strawberry Shortcake.

Basically gave the Penguins almost nothing.

I still sell Barrie and go hard after next year.

Me too.  Cash in on Barrie while you can.
