They have? That's debatable

This is where shot totals don’t tell the whole story.

Nashville has a better defense and they're winning.

Why?

Because the defense is controlling the game.

- Unholy_Goalie


They have a defensive-first style of play; best GAA in the league.

We're not that team, I'm sorry muffin, and moving some scoring wingers won't make us that team either.

The leafs have had a ton of chances, they aren't exactly shutting the Leafs down, Rinne has

Nash's defensive game is very good.

These Questrade commercials are (frank)in annoying.

I'll admit that I just turned it on halfway through the 2nd, but it seemed like the Leafs were doing OK. There's still another period.

They work.
Get in front of the goalie.

- Fakepartofme


Yeah.

I mean Kyper is laying into Willie here, but Hutch couldn't see a damn thing. Gotta clear the front a little better there. Those shots are low percentage if the goalie can actually see them.

It isn't but the way Nashville plays, odds are it is. And that's what you want as a team.

Like Nashville?

No. I'd rather lose like the Leafs while providing a smidge of entertainment to the fans.

Boys are playing well and Hutch has been solid, but tonight is a great example of the type of game where the overt cuteness that infests this team until the 3rd every game can bite them in the ass.

You can't beat every goalie every night and be on every pass you make. Sometimes you gotta just put it on the net.

They aren't getting blown out but Nashville is playing better and they're on the road too.

Yeah it looked bad on nylander there. Needed some help clearing the front of the net.

Tough 2nd period for him. Offside on him and tipped puck on 2nd goal. Just needs to get his confidence going in the right direction. The weight of that contract seems to be hurting him a long with time missed.

There's still another period - you can never count the Leafs out with the current score.

It's that exciting brand of hockey they play.

If you do it and win multiple cups then fairy muff. But to play that brand of peeling wallpaper and never win one? poopz
