This is insane. They are professional athletes. They can?t play two nights in a row?

The other guys are professional athletes too, understand professor?

We gained 3 points on Florida so what's not to like? Team played well defensively. Both Barrie and Spezza made bad decisions to shoot but that's the way it goes. Matthews who played almost 25 mins, just missed the puck on the OT goal. Did I mention we have a back up! Solid game.Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate said:That was one of their best team defense games all year. I'm not unhappy with the result at all.
Again, it's too early to really say this but I hope Keefe will be willing to put Sandin and Liljegren out late with a lead over Barrie.
You see that all the time with guys coming back on breakaways. Don't know why. Out of gas as well?? Matthews was def empty.Bender said:Just watched that goal again. Barrie also decided to stop skating at the end and let Kovy have the puck. A lot of this just comes down to effort. How badly do you want to get back in the play? Were they just expecting a clean breakaway goal?
Bender said:It's just become so routine to expect a bad 2-1 or breakaway against in OT while we have to actually work to gain the zone most of the time. I don't think it's much to ask for them to make a responsible play if you don't have a good avenue to score or the play is high risk. Barrie has terrible decision making instincts.

Is your point that every team playing a back to back should be outshot 16-1 in the 3rd? This wasn?t about being tired. It was about being scared.

Yes, I don't agree with Strangelove here. Fatigue is fatigue no matter when it happens in the season. They plainly looked out of gas the whole third period. Not surprising since the whole game the first 2 was up and down.

On one hand I somewhat agree because this is what happened recently but they're 21-2-2 when leading after 2. For comparison the Bruins are 18-1-6. Their real problem is how often they've trailed after 2 and how few times they've actually come back to win or tie.azzurri63 said:Teams a joke. No clue how to put teams away.
Like Xmas all year round with this team keep on giving.

You?re veering into straw man territory. It?s not unfair to question why the Leafs are the worst (second worst?) team in the league in the second game of back to backs.
No kidding. F'n horrible team. They suck!L K said:This is the worst team ever. No other team in the history of the league struggles in back to backs. RAAARQWAARRARHQWHWWHWHWHW
