I really think these last two games were a perfect example of what we talk about with regards to confirmation bias and the way certain posters talk about the team.
On Saturday, the Leafs lost a low scoring game in Overtime after leading in the third. This was categorized by some of being indicative of a significant trend this season and seen as a real failing on the part of the Leafs.
Last night the Leafs won a low scoring game in Overtime after trailing in the 3rd. This has not been held up as a real testament to the team's resiliency and competitive spirit by those same posters.
If all you do is highlight and focus on when things go wrong, of course you're going to come to faulty conclusions like "The Leafs always do X" or "The Leafs giving up a point after leading is hurting them in the playoff race". To say nothing of making for interesting conversation by occasionally letting what happens in games inform your opinion rather than the reverse, it's just leading to monotonous and faulty analysis.
