Shouldn't have even made it to OT but what can you do. Eat the extra point and regroup.

Would’ve been a bad change. Nylander went off and of he went across the ice for a change it would’ve left the entire side of the ice open. He needed to stay on in that situation. But yes, he for sure was tired and let the man go.

Not a great goal though either.

He was pressuring the guy with the puck so that they couldn't breakout quick, but it bit him in the ass, as he was way too gassed to be of any use after it.

OT is another good reason why you don't trade Marner, IMO. He really could have helped.

Matthews line was only one really clicking offensively. Kerfoot was good tonight. Overall, they played better than I expected. Thought they would be down after playing very low energy games.

They also seemed gassed by the end. Spezza has had three not great games

He skated by the bench. Someone could have come on and been fully engaged. Sorry

You don’t not trade a player because of OT play. But yes he is good playing at 3on3. He tags the puck which typically leads to ‘cheating’ and over playing/committing which opens lanes in a 3on3 situation

Not only has it been awhile since they've played a string of games, it's been a hot minute since they've even played a good team. I'm glad it wasn't the rude awakening I was worried it could have been. But hopefully they saw they can't coast against strong teams.

Not close man. Rewatch.

- chance at side of Avs net (88 to 34)
- stopped
- puck immediately gets carried out by Ava player
- 88 goes straight to bench
- 34 goes across ice and chases Avs player with puck (Kadri)
- Jt charges for 88
- JT goes straight across ice to pressure play
- Matthews sees Ava player far side inside Leafs blueline and immediately goes over for coverage
- play never leaves their end again

At no point what ever does Matthew even get close to his bench let alone ‘skate right in front’ of it.

He needed to back heck as soon as the chance was missed and needed to go across and pick up the Avs player that crept inside the line.

Lost Toews though on the play afterwards

Yup. He's been Leafs best player by far. Colorado is too good to just sit back against.

I'll be happy with a point.

Toughest road trip of the year and the team is short-handed. A point is good, too bad it came off of giving up a 3-goal lead.

They just need to get past this road trip and get everyone healthy.
