Berube saying in the media that Nylander needs to "Work your way through it ... I would say he's got to get involved more, engaged more in the game & work his way through it" is the real message. Nylander has been in float mode for a little while now. Whether shifting him "down" a line has any...

Same guy who said he didn't believe that the Stolarz injury was serious is now saying "I don't believe that's (surgery) gonna be an option right now" for Tanev, so there's that. Wheel of destiny for sure!

Regarding the injury updates, it's like everyday they spin "the wheel of destiny" and whatever comes up is the report for the day.

That's what I thought - stupid/careless/dangerous but more of a love tap than a blatant intent to injure. No previous suspensions (unless I'm forgetting something), not known as a dirty player. Then again, he's a Leaf so probably 5 games. Seriously, I think 2 games would be excessive, but he'll...

They certainly picked the right season to play like poop.

Hildeby! Awesome performance.

Another classic rope-a-dope period by the Leafs. Hildeby > Johansson so far.

I must have missed the part where Domi became great.

Based on what I've seen lately, I think Cowan should either be on line 3, or back in the AHL playing big minutes in all situations, and Robertson should be getting his opportunities in the top 6 and on the PP.

People like to heap criticism on the Leaf defenders for being ineffective puck movers, but I find myself wondering how much of that is a result of the system as opposed to the players. Sure, there is no Cale Makar back there. But the Leaf defenders are given very little in the way of time/space...

Another thing about potentially using Robertson on the point - you know that if something happens, he's going to bust his ass to get back and defend. He won't dog it like many other Leaf forwards, and he actually has the speed to recover. I've seen him get back to break up odd-man rushes a...

booo...but they did get a point, deserved or not.

ok, laughton shootout slapper to win

fortunate to get that point lol

Switching him off line 2 was the right move but keeping him on pp1, not sure about that logic.

breakaway slapshot, nice choice!

Man they need some kind of spark. Someone needs to throw a big hit or start a fight. Just sleepwalking through most of this game.

I'm seeing a little too much in the way of solo efforts by the Leafs...1 on 3 stuff which almost always results in turnovers. They have gotten away from playing as a team this period, need to get back to that for the third. Fortunate to be down only a goal. Hildeby playing well again.

leafs seem to be drifting back into bad habits...lots of own zone time this period

I saw one of the talking heads (not sure if it was Kypreos or someone else) mentioning this as a possibility a while back. Makes perfect sense to me.
