shit

 

[MindzEye]

Freddy slow.

Goodish tip, but if Freddy is in position, that's off the leg.

 

[hockeylover]

Shouldn't have even been a fucking call.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

This is very different than the 8-0 after one that I was expecting.

 

[BeLeafer]

Thanks to the refs, it's a 1-goal game.

 

[zeke]

Eh. We didnt deserve all that much better than 3-2.

 

[MindzEye]

This is very different than the 8-0 after one that I was expecting.

Carolina is real gud, and the refs almost sexual urge to even up any lopsided penalty differential let them back in.

 

[Matrim]

Roller coaster of a period there.

 

[leafman101]

According to Money puck that Necas goal had a 66% chance of going in. Single highhandedly gave the Canes the xG edge that period. Not sure what Holl was watching there.

 

[zeke]

The first goal on freddy was probably worse than any of the goals on Reimtime.

 

[Preston]

I take back everything I said about the leafs. Fuck this team. Trade em all.

 

[MindzEye]

The first goal on freddy was probably worse than any of the goals on Reimtime.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

 

[BeLeafer]

These guys really need a good second. Not sure what it is but their second periods have been their worst since Keefe took over. Of course, best period to be your worst, but they've played well below ccapabillity in those periods (at least by the eye test).

According to Money puck that Necas goal had a 66% chance of going in. Single highhandedly gave the Canes the xG edge that period. Not sure what Holl was watching there.

Naturalstattrick has the leafs with a substantial xG edge no matter which situation split.

 

[Volcanologist]

Freddy not great. that shorthanded goal was a huge shot in the arm for them, as they often are.

 

[MindzEye]

Did Colby Armstrong always look like a Picasso painting?

 

[leafman101]

Not according to MoneyPuck. Also according to MoneyPuck the McGinn goal had a 7.9% chance, while Nylanders had 7.5 and Tavares had 6.7 so all similarly bad/good.

 

[leaffan2005]

Nylander scores a nice goal, then proceeds to give the puck away three times in a single PP, one of which gave the Canes the goal that got them back into the game.

This guy is what he is. Super talented, kind of a dumby at times who can be very soft on the puck and pretty bad on the other end of the ice.

 

[Preston]

Moneypuck seems far more in depth overall. I don't know if that's a bad thing or a good thing.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Kind of knew it was coming. Leafs were playing for the touchdown and got way too loose.
