Stars @ Leafs - Nov. 1st, 7:00pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

Down 2-0.  1PP looks good, stoppage in play after 40 seconds.  Does the coach take a timeout to get them back out there?  Sometimes I think Babcock is happier to lose his way than to deviate from his plan.

Garbage coaching on the PP.

I'm not exactly in love with the decision either, but weird thing to say about about an assistant coach who has had a top-2 PP in the league in 3 of his 4 seasons as a coach (14-15 in Detroit, 16-17 and 17-18 in Toronto).

Regardless of the score, they?re playing a good game.

This is a rather odd way to view what is happening.
But it's right. They're playing a lot better then they do on Monday. Overall they're playing a pretty good game.

Babs messed up there. He didn't need to take a timeout either. He could have left the 1st PP unit on, thy weren't tired.
 
I think Kapanen should be on a PP unit too, but it has nothing to do with Hyman or Marleau. They want to move Tavares to the flank to replace Matthews, and I think that's the right call. Kappy isn't playing the net front presence on either unit. So if he's replacing anybody it should be Ennis on the 2nd PP. Please adjust your criticisms accordingly.

Yeah, like what are you guys going to be saying if Tavares? PP shot rang off the bar a mm the other direction? Or if Marner?s steal was stuffed in? Or if Marleau?s shot banked off post and then the goalie?

Shots are probabilistic events. Dallas got more than a little lucky. The Leafs are working and generating without two of their top scorers and play drivers. Relax.

What's weird about it?  Kapanen should be on the 2nd unit before freaking Josh Leivo.

All events are probabilistic.  What do you mean here?
