Marner and Matthews look as out of sorts as they’ve ever been, weird for this funk to last so long

Nobody seems to want to talk about how Marner's been crap pretty much all season long, I guess because Nylander's streak has been a more palatable topic.

Honestly it’s a testament to how good Marner is that he can look like poo poo by his standards and still be over a PPG but he’s just been so brutal in his own end. Probably a plus for the Leafs that he still has a gear to find.

The Pens are old and might not have another gear to reach even with a new coach but it's wild how FSG, Dubas, Hextall et al are willing to just die on the sword of Mike Sullivan

TJ Brodie has absolutely zero awareness on the ice right now, you’d think they made shoulder checking a penalty

Getting very tired of the Matthews line in their own end

I gotta say usually when the broadcast spends several minutes talking about how putrid some team’s PP has been it’s a recipe for them coming alive against the Leafs, but that does not really seem like it’ll be an issue tonight

They moved it alright but didn't look like there was ever an intention to actually shoot there.

Meanwhile Sid gift wrapping a rush chance for Nylander because the Pens hate third period leads

One of the things the Leafs do is make bad goalies look great and the first step to that is trying to pass around them instead of making them work

At some point Keefe needs to note plays like Matthews spoiling a good rush passing to nobody and start giving some minutes to lines that are actually working

I hope they start giving Schmid more starts, at least he's played a good game or two this year

It's also the nth game that was pretty even but lost thanks to the other goalie not allowing bad goals.

lol the crew were gushing in the intermissions about how Crosby watches more hockey than anyone and they ask him to confirm after the game and he says no not really, less than you think.

Yeah there’s no way that they should feel comfortable with Samsonov/Woll as the tandem, it’s basically December and one is a disaster and the other is middling and inexperienced. Everyone’s talking about shoring up the d corps (and if Brodie continues to play like this that’ll be real necessary) but you can’t make a run with goalies like this.
