The Caps are #3 in the Wild Card and have won 3 in a row (75 Pts). Hopefully, the game goes well and the Leafs win this one (85 Pts). Tonight's game is on TNT so I can watch it on MAX.

Whole team out of sync lately. Baffles me how they can play the way they did on that 7 game win streak then show up like last night. Yes Mitch and Calle are big pieces but that should not be the reason or the excuse. Ovi feasts on the Leafs but hopefully Woll stonewalls him. Need this teams leaders ( if theyhave any) and start carrying this team on their shoulders. Shut up the haters, shut up the media and just win.

Should be able to win this. I've never like Ovi. Dirty player masked by his talent and personality.
Give Robertson some 2nd line action

We never know what to expect from this group. Time to get everything running smoothly as we get closer and closer to the playoffs. Right now I don’t have a lot of faith but I’m hoping they get it together and convince me.

I intensely dislike Ovechkin. Always have. Kassie is right. Leafs should. But I am hoping that should turns into did.

Tj Brodie is healthy scratch. Conor Timmins in. Gregor in for Reaves

The big boys have to get it going tonight, no excuses. Yes, we miss Marner, but Matthews has to step up.
Last night, a couple of helpers and a post, one of six posts hit by our team last night.
Hope the whole team shows up for a complete 60 minutes tonight against a hungry team trying to squeak into the playoffs.. Interesting move, sitting Brodie? I hope this lineup works, but I don’t think Timmons is the guy to replace him, we will see. Liljegren has to step up as well, he’s gotta be better more consistently.
GO LEAFS GO!

Ok, I would say that was a good way to step up, ya think? lol

So why was Bertuzzi benched? Any word? Very big physical teams these caps. Playoff style. Good test. We struggle so bad getting simple pucks out of our zone.
I thought Timmins looked better in the first than earlier in year when he played.

Yeah not sure about Bertuzzi. Might have been late for a meeting or something but glad he’s on the jce. And yes Timmins has looked on so far. Need to be better in the second.

Knies is driving me to drink. He just makes too many bone head plays with the puck. I’ve said this before, Keefe needs to get him to simplify his game. That goal is all on him!

Knies takes bad penalties but Benoit had time to clear the puck and whiffed on it. Watching the Leafs flounder in their end is so maddening.

Great goal by Matthews to go up by 2 again, but our d does it again right away. They continue to back away off the puck and allow the opposition to walk into the slot completely untouched. I don’t get why the Leafs coaching staff has not picked up on that and addressed it? It’s so obvious.
