If the Leafs can get out of this period 1 down, they’ll have a push in the third period. Florida is going to start to wonder if they can’t get the next one. Woll is dialed in.
Woll has shown he’s on his game. He’s kept us in. There should be no discussion about him being the weak link. I like Benoit’s game. A couple of those hits were crushing. The Leafs need to keep their composure and wait for their opportunity to tie it up. The second line must be rested. They only played about 4 minutes.
The Leafs need to get this one in the win column because a 7 game series with the Panthers will take the starch out of them. The Panthers have already lost 2 games and at a minimum will need a 6 game series to get to the next round. Carolina looks like they’ve got the upper hand on Washington, so rest may become an issue for the winner of this series. The Leafs could do themselves a real favour by winning tonight.
I’m thinking that Dallas is the team to beat in the West. They seem to have all of the pieces required. Rantanen is on a mission. Winnipeg could up end them, but they haven’t won on the road yet.
Matthews is injured for sure.
My concern is that he seems to be injured a lot of the time but only sits out a little bit of time here and there. Gotta think its either something chronic that is NOT fixable or he has a lot of different injuries a lot of the time. Both are concerning for me.
I’m thinking that it’ll be corrected after the season ends. I can see him missing part of next season while he heals. He probably believes that this is his best chance to win the Cup with Marner still on the team.
He can’t shoot the puck. There’s no velocity. There’s no way he’s not injured. Whatever the case he still needs to find a way to score.
I seem to agree. There isn’t that zip and velocity. It used to go in the net in a blink of an eye. He’s injured, just not enough to be out of the lineup.
