We have some boys out for tonight’s game. No Samsonov, Marner, Edmundson and Rielly is questionable. Time for the rest of the guys to pick up the slack. Every point is important as Tampa is nipping at our heels and we have 2 games left against both them and Florida. It’s not going to be an easy last 3 weeks.

Probably a good thing that it’s not an easy home stretch. If Tampa passes the Leafs then it’s the Rangers so to me it doesn’t matter. The first round will be difficult no matter who they face. So take these last dozen games and get in playoff mode and get healthy. Leafs have the depth if they wanted to give AM or Willy a couple nights off.
For now though, don’t take the Devils lightly. They have goaltending now and a danger offence. Take it to them boys!!
GO LEAFS GO!!

I think if we finish 3rd we get the second place team (either Boston or Florida) and if we are wildcard #1 we get the division winner (either Boston or Florida). Regardless it isn’t going to be an easy road. Like you said TMan lets win this one tonight. |

Nice goal by Bert’s, nicer pass by Domi.
Woll wishes he had that one back, it was a knuckler though.
Go Leafs Go!

26 to 8 in shots and we are losing.. how? It's unreal.
Keefe said at skate this morning when asked about poor pp lately (4for 39).. his answer?
" have you seen the teams we have been playing they all have great pk units"
Makes me sick hearing that. Loser mentality. Blame your teamand prep. Not they have great pks. You overcome that no sense.

Meaningless stat of the night: 22-7 shots on goal. Possibly the most important stat of night: Devils 15-1-1 when leading after first.

It’s a good thing for Allen, it could be 5-2 Leafs.
He’s got Matthew’s number so far tonight.

I'm not enjoying game one bit. I'm done for night. They can score 5 in third but not solving bigger issues.
This pk is a joke. Play 5 new guys. What's the difference.
Woll is not on his game, but not all on him.
Timmins has been better than earlier in year.. Lybushkin is not good at all. We are short on rhd otherwise he should be the one sitting.
I hope I awake to a win. I'm just struggling to watch them.

One period to go, and the boys are looking a bit sloppy defensively.
Creating some nice offensive chances, but need to limit the Devil’s chances and tighten up.
C’mon boys, big 3rd period.
GO LEAFS GO!

I don't think it helped that both Rielly and Edmundson were out tonight.

Don’t know which bonehead threw the puck away (Domi I think) at the blue line for the Devils 5th goal but that was a dumba$$ move. Just when you think they might have figured out how to play playoff hockey they cough up a hairball. Woll wasn’t very good but they hung him out to dry. This team just cannot seem to play the same way every night unless it’s badly. 🤦♂️

One of those games where getting shots didn't matter, it's all about putting it in. Better luck next time I'm sure, NJ has been pretty mediocre and is upping their play lately, like Carolina. Still, lots of games left to get playoff ready, mentally.

Watched hi-lites of Bruins/Cats and Jets/Oilers. Those teams were serious and wanted to prove something. Leafs, not so much. Annoying AF.

So glad I didn't watch 3rd. Sadly I can see us swept vs bos , Florida or Rangets. Tampa may pass us putting us in wild card. Don't think it will matter. Pick your poison. Zero killer instinct. We score 2 quick goals. Up 3-2. Instead of turning it up we relax and 18 seconds give one up.
Nothing has changed. We don't have another gear.
At least Keefe was angry in post game. Kind of. I dud like his response that the immaturity from our leaders showed up. Even named JT from last night. Said this has been ongoing for years. Was a little refreshing until he said we have been playing very well recently. What? Even when we win there are too many bouts of poor play.
I hate focusing on Boston but it's all around me. They step up and win in Florida. Look at that Bruin roster? Firstb2 centers, Coyle and Zacha. How do they win? Well they have a coach that can teach and push buttons for one. But enough of them. We got ten games to turn things around.. not that we will change
