big time leafs guy

Any normal broadcast would be packaging Nylander defensive plays with his game winning A1 on the powerplay in the third with him absolutely bodying Draisaitl in the OZ to win the puck on the 4-on-4. I didn't see a single replay of that all night. Anyways. Another Bill carry in my opinion. Standard

Craig Simpson with 1:35 left in a 5-2 game: "Still lots of time left"

Empty net god Bobby McMann

He's on 24, who's a D I've never heard of. But that means he's below his D as the winger, which is his job. It's not on him, (again, as much as I hate him)

Craig Simpson immediately defending the Oilers. Jesus christ. Please kill me

Lol

I hate Domi but he's not wholly responsible. OEL was on Kapanen. I don't know what the Leafs are supposed to do there, if Matthews is supposed to pass off his man or if OEL is supposed to follow Kapanen. But it's a broader in-zone defence issue and Domi looks stupid for the swipe at the end

Great eye stripes !!!!!!!!!

Craig Simpson analyzing a 2-1 game in the 3rd period: "Boy how important is the next goal"

Every shift a guy makes a mistake. It's so stupid to watch. Just stop making mistakes. What is wrong with these players

180 minutes

Are the Oilers normally this pathetic? Any Oilers fans follow me who can let me know?

It's so stupid. This team is so bad. And yet I am so mad

For sure no penalty there on Emberson against McMann. For sure it's always a penalty when you have the puck behind you and you take your hand off your stick and hold up the guy. Except in this case

That Walman change is insane lol

McDavid flops around like he's seriously injured and then stays out for like a full minute zooming around the ice. Lol

Wait I take it back. Plus the 5 minutes of OT against Vancouver. 160 minutes of hockey

Leafs haven't had a powerplay opportunity in over 155 minutes of hockey

"Watch Draisaitl get back here defensively" as Draisaitl floats into the slot with 6 seconds left on a nothing play. Wow. incredible analysis

Let's run through the intermission topics on our national Leafs-Oilers broadcast: McDavid, Mangiapane, and Draisaitl. Great stuff. Thanks guys

Yeah I was looking through the team-level powerplay stats on the NHL site earlier today. Just insane stuff

Choosing to interpret the refs collectively doing their best to sewer the Leafs in the past week and a half as evidence of the league's pro-Leafs bias. Trying to ensure that top-5 pick stays in Toronto. Thank you league

Calling that a trip is idiotic. Great eyes on that guy down in the Leafs zone for sure

Missed high stick on Knies. I'm sure it's just a mistake and not a broader pattern. What's that? Zero powerplay opportunities in 3 of their last 4 games? I'm sure that's just a stats-keeping error or something that would be impossible

Can we get one of the many stats websites to find out how often an NHL team receives 0 powerplay opportunities in 3 out of 4 games

Leafs have now had 4 games this season without a single powerplay. Including 3 of their last 4 games. I'm sure it's fine. I'm sure that's normal

The Core 1

Pretty smart of Berube to feed McMann empty net cookies. That's now almost-30-goal pace Bobby McMann. Not often you can find a 30-goal-pace beefy speedy winger at the deadline. Gotta think that price is creeping up. For the Bobby Privilege

Legitimately not going to call anything against the Leafs

They are just allowed to spear Woll I guess
