Thanks Clarkson, I'm pinning this one on you. Go ahead and take another suspension, we are better with you in the pressbox anyway.

110% is the new 100%

A good 40 minutes, but nothing really going in the 3rd. Wonder if they were fatigued for some strange, unknown reason.

They played last night

That's arguable.

Yup. The Caps definitely played last night.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Third period lead is now regulation loss. Not even a loser point. 

 

[Bonsixx]

Welp, I was wrong.

It almost seemed inevitable after getting that lead so early in the third that they'd never be able to hold it to a 2-1 win...

Another lose.  Falling behind the playoff race now.

Welcome to the terrordome that is the mudfight for 8th

It's almost likely playing 3 lines all game has led to the Leafs not having the greatest of 3rd periods. 

I guess the effort was better tonight.  I mean they weren't horribly outshot.  They did give up 35 shots yet again though.  So their "better" performance after three straight bad ones was to match up well against their opponent.  That's some fantastic bounce-back.

Neuvrith made a bunch of really good saves though, so they had that going for them. 

 

[freer]

It was the best game I have seen them play since the CHI game. IMO if they play that way they would win more then there share. minus the soft winning goal. Which was Clarkson's fault.

 

[ZBBM]

Welp, I was wrong.

Me too, but the power of our positive thinking almost lifted them to the Promised Land.

They're SO gonna destroy the Devils on Sunday!

Not in whole but in part.  How hum.  Same old stuff re-churned.

 

[Zee]

Well at least it was close. :-/

 

[maplesyrup]

At least nobody was killed.
