ugh

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes...

 

[ZBBM]

This team is AWFUL winning puck battles and getting it out. 

 

[bustaheims]

With the way the Leafs have played tonight, that was really just a matter of time.

 

[13th fan]

Wow our lead didn't last long!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Smart play by Gardiner to bounce that off the boards to Kessel.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

That's what happens getting heavily outshot all the time.

Hey, they're only being outshot by 11

this period.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

And Tampa starts the 3rd on the PP.

 

[ZBBM]

What a godawful period.  Kadri's wizardry the only thing covering it up.

TB is more determined than us when it comes to forechecking.  They also just generally seem smarter when it comes to decision making with the puck.

 

[ZBBM]

Seriously, I am so sick of this.

You're not alone. It would be nice to see them not have to rely on goaltending and opportunistic scoring.

Aside from being just lousy strategy (if you can call it that), it's not fun to watch.

 

[TML fan]

Holland's penalty was absolutely ridiculous. The one shift he got after it was one too many.

 

[gunnar36]

Gunnarson has been a turnover machine tonight.  I may have to change my username soon...

 

[Stronger Than All]

A Phaneuf penalty at 20 min o the period.  No way!

My thoughts exactly. He should have been stapled to the bench after that one. I have no idea what he was thinking.

 

[2badknees]

A Phaneuf penalty at 20 min o the period.  No way!

Phaneuf's penalty, but covering for Gunnarsson's mistake, from what I could tell. Quite the role reversal!

 

[Bill_Berg]

Good start to the period. Mostly.

 

[ZBBM]

Gunnarson has been a turnover machine tonight.  I may have to change my username soon...

His worst game in awhile.

Only 5 games will Olympic break. Would be nice to win at least 4 out of 5. Canucks are the only tough opponent.
