In the standings, the Leafs and Canes are very close. Leafs in 65 game have won 38 games with 84 points. Canes in 66 games have won 40 games with 86 points. With both Marner and Jarnkrok out, I think the Leafs might have a harder time. Sounds like Samsonov in net.

Yeah this won’t be an easy one tonight. Canes are a good team that is well coached. It certainly is going to be difficult with both Marner and Jarnkrok out. We are headed to friends house for dinner so I’m DVRing the game. Unfortunately I won’t be able to watch it live but I will keep up to date with the game on my phone.

i'm wondering who was back in for the forwards? Robertson? Simply another boring playoff race. The NHL will never change the format even though it makes sense for a million reasons. it's so stupid how its set up now. I wish Keefe I would start resting players.

I might be alone in these thoughts, but I think Woll needs to play more games. Woll has been in only 3 games since his return and that isn't enough. What if Samsonov starts failing again, or what if he is injured. If either thing happens, Woll won't be ready for the playoffs. He will be in net for the back to back next week, but that is only one game. He needs to be game ready just in case. 16 games left after tonight. Should Woll play half of them? I feel like Keefe is putting all his eggs in one basket by playing Samsonov so much.

Leafs probably lucky to get out of the period tied. You watch the Hurricanes play the game, compared to Toronto and it's hard to identify any kind of system to the Leaf game. But one thing that really stood out for me in the first was how Carolina seemed to get a stick on almost every pass the Leafs made. Toronto is going to have to find a way to create some space in the 2nd.

Sloppy game so far, lots of turnovers. Well, that’s a turnover by the Canes that paid off for us.
Nice shot by JT.
GO LEAFS!

Yes, let’s keep it goin boys! Nicely done Robertson. Keefe has to find a way to keep this kid in the lineup, he’s looked great tonight!
And how about the speed on McMann to get a breakaway..
Go Leafs Go!

Ah, so disappointing. We had them where we wanted and just let them back in the game. We need a big 3rd period to pull this one out.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF! You are to be kidding me, absolutely no puck pressure. Just do whatever you want with the puck Carolina, we are just going to stand down low in front of Samsonov and let you do whatever you want. Take your time, because we are not going to put any heat on you!

well, that was a hell of a disappointment. We're just heading to shoot out now, so I'm going to bed.

Deserved to lose. Can't hold a lead. Players standing around in last minute. Lose big face-off, Can't get pucks out of zone.
This team never changes

What a bunch of chokers! Sammy played really well again, but the team in front of him blew it!
Matthews is looking pitiful, what’s with him, no effort, no finish.
That was a bad loss.
