Not for nothing but that was a blatant elbow to Marners face. 2 if the missed that? They said it was an accident but the point was made that if you trip somebody accidentally its a penalty so you can't have it both ways. Then again this is the NHL. We had far too many turnovers once again. The goals were definitely bounces but they all count. Somebody needs to do something besides Matthews and Willie needs to go back to Sweden or something because he is in a major fog. |

I thought they played well enough to win. Let’s not forget the Rangers aren’t a shabby team.

Oh well, you cant win them all.
Tough night for Jones, he played well, but most of the goals against were tipped by our players.

Bad luck on 3 of their 4 goals was the difference. Jones played good and like it was said you can’t win them all. The turnovers were again our downfall.

We've played much worse but so many turnovers again. Not to mention the too many terrible passes in our own end into someone's skates leading to a poor breakout. Instead of a couple of quick moves it was often breaking down and the pressure of the forecheck did the rest. Had it stayed at 3-2 I was sure Matthews was gonna tie it and win it. Hes just in that zone. |

I thought the same thing Gerard but that 4th goal just killed us.

The Rangers are considered a legitimate contender for the cup, so the loss wasn't unexpected. The bigger question is whether the Leafs in their usual tradition have officially checked out for Christmas, despite having two games remaining against inferior teams. Columbus smoked Toronto for two periods and hung on for the win last week and I'm pretty sure Buffalo would love to kick some Leaf butt. These next two games will give us some idea about the this team's character. The next two games should and must be wins.
