Tough loss last night. Seems like the team is headed in the wrong direction? |

Trade everyone. Blow it up. Bag skate the survivors.
Seriously though. Leafs still lead the division. Don't make a dry spell seem like the end of the world. Go study the tape, practice, and move on to winning games again.
Leafs and Lightning have something in common that might explain their recent struggles : PDO
The Leafs are 5th and the Lightning are 4th in the league. That means they are leaning on a combo of three possible things : elite shooting, elite goaltending, and luck. Teams with high PDO typically regress at some point because even the best shooters have dry spells and the best goalies have streaks of average play or the odd bad game.
The Leafs are a team that leans heavily on their elite shooters to win games. If those guys are hurt, get shut down, or have off nights, then this recent string of poopty results is a sign that it's time to tighten up, get more depth scoring, and get into playoff hockey mode. Just relying on your top line or two, or power play, to stack points is not a good plan this late in the season when the races for positioning heat up.
The Lightning got shut out by Detroit and their no-name goalie. Kucherov's stick went silent. Their having some of the same issues as the Leafs : no depth scoring and not quite good enough goaltending (injuries haven't helped the Leafs in the latter regard, and the Lightning's backup sucks).
Leafs aren't getting depth scoring or scoring from their D. Their goaltending isn't elite enough to compensate for that on a long term basis. Berube has to fix it. |

Lost a game on the flukiest of all goals while missing JT, Knies, and Stollarz. Let's definitely freak TF out here.
Help is on the way, though, Marner and all his giveaways are off to Van city for Miller plus. Ek said so. |

Gotta love a post-game article that barely mentions anything about the game itself. All you could come up with was a whiny comment about how offended you are that it was noticed, accurately if I may say so, that Reeves is as slow as molasses in January.
As a Sens fan, thank you for the entertainment. |

Want to have some giggles?
Go see what kind of trade value the glue huffers over in Lalaland think Miller and Pettersson have.

I'm not a lefty, but I found it disappointing for about five minutes.
I try to keep sports separated from politics.
Politics is literally everywhere else. I like to just focus on Syrup Girl, Leafs, and some Lightning.
