Failure to clear the zone often leads to goals as other players can't expect you to not move the puck. Goal scorers are scoring goals, neither goalie has been a star but that's going to happen.

How many times do the Leafs give up goals mere minutes after they score. Drives me nuts. No way this team gets far. So many areas they need to fix and only 15 games left. 🤦♂️

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! You have to remember, Knies is a rookie and he will make rookie mistakes. We need to be patient. Matthews scores again. I understand, he is a rookie, but he continues to make the same mistake over and over. But if Matthews keep scoring tonight, we’re good. sh*t, offside, no goal! |

Can't blow another lead. Yeah Knies has to.learn from his mistakes. Maybe he needs a week or two off. He has never played this much. Auston is back tonight. 3 assists for Domi. I'd like him back. A better version of Kerfoot

Matthews looks like he is coming out of his coma.
A couple assists and a nice shot off the post last night and a couple goals and an assist tonight.
Should have been a Hattie, but I have a feeling he ain’t done yet tonight.
I am really liking Domi’s game lately, he can be so good.
There is your 1st line when Marner gets back, AM, MM, MD.
GO LEAFS, LET’S HAVE A SOLID 3rd!

WTF was that.
Embarrassing is what that was.
Terrible PP, then a horrible line change and Ovi and 2 others in alone for the goal.
Oh well, we get 2 quick ones back, he he!
And it’s 6-3, keep it goin and get Matthews the Hattie.
More importantly, we need a win!

I am surprised that Keefe didn’t stick Timmons out on the 2nd PP unit for a chance.
I think he would be more effective than Liljegren?
Nice play by JT on that goal.

Nice win. Last time Woll was in net was March 7th. I thought he did well not being in net for 13 days. Too bad Matthews was cheated out of his hattie, but he still got 5 points.

When Auston plays like this he is such a joy to watch. We still give up too many goals and pp is atrocious. So much to work on. But 2 points is still 2 points.
I'd have given 3 stars to
Auston
Domi
Nylander

When Auston plays like this he is such a joy to watch. I'd have given 3 stars to Auston Domi Nylander Yes he is. You're close on the 3 Stars. I tuned into the SN radio broadcast just after the game ended. Jim Ralph said Ovechkin or Nylander could be 3rd Star, but he went this way. 1st Star Matthews 2nd Star Domi 3rd Star Tavares |

On the PP, I find Rielly moves the puck too slowly and since he has no shot to speak of, the defending teams can adjust to his puck possession because his options are so few, Lilly might be a better option, Timmins might be a better option, against quality teams in the playoffs Rielly isn't a decent option on the PP, actually I think even McCabe might be a better option.
No Brophy today, a 20 plus minute d-man, a last minute trusted d-man, so was he a scratch or a scratch due to extenuating circumstances, like injury/personal reasons, etc. I would hope that Keefe is finely seeing what many of us have been seeing for a long time.
What was going on with Bert in the 1st period?
The line of Austin/Domi/Bert was pretty good tonite, putting Mitch with JT might make JT even better creating a very effective line, any line with Willie can be excellent, TO might have the beginnings of 3 effective lines for the playoffs which should be crucial for unseen success.

Domi has really blossomed lately and I would love to have him back next season. Good win against another team fighting for its playoff life. I thought Timmins looked good in his first game in a long time and I don’t think they missed Brodie at all. Our defense continues to make miscues but all in all a good game. Nice to see Matthews come out of the little funk he’s been in. Keefe said Bertuzzi was feeling ill but said he felt good enough to play.

Really liked Matthews with Domi and Bert. Did Keefe try that line earlier this season or was this a first? They all looked dialled in. I’d ride this line and see what they can do and if it’s successful then Mitch could get JT going with Willy. Two very dangerous lines. Saturday night will be a good test. Have a feeling Mitch misses that one too.
