Flames @ Leafs - Dec 6, 7:30pm - SN

Boy is Matthews ever struggling. Even his puck handling is off. You can tell he?s pressing.

Andersen has been ridiculously good tonight.
 
Hopefully that?s Marleau?s last penalty shot. Nylander should be in there every time.

That was a lengedsry performance by Andersen.
 
Hahaha very entertaining shootout. I'm sure that point will come in handy in the spring.

Well done Mr. Andersen, well done.
 
So, at what point does Babcock start considering that maybe he's part of the reason the team is getting off to such poor starts? I honestly believe his insistence on line matching is messing with the rhythm of a lot of his players, and forcing them to play catchup for most of the night.

Roll your lines. Deploy your players proactively, not reactively. Be in control. This team has the talent to do that, if you have the ability to let them.

I don't agree about Marleau, I think he's 1/3 if memory serves.  But for sure, Nylander needs go 3rd.
 
I'll take the 2 points, but, our Leafs should be embarrassed!

Only Andersen played a decent game, everyone else was poop!

He's going to get them to play like Detroit did, no matter what.  But he could still accomplish that by using the lineup more effectively.
 
That ice played like crap. The number of pucks bouncing, changing directions and players losing edges and falling was like my beer league team.

He seems to be a little off, but I think the bigger problem is that defenders are able to concentrate on Matthews because neither Hyman or Brown are really a threat to make a creative play with the puck. Need Nylander back on that line.
