So happy the Toronto series dodged this.


Yea Bob Cole is easier to withstand than Romanuk, easily. They both forget/mistake names and are behind the play by a decent amount but at least Cole's voice isn't grating and I don't think he repeats the same talking points every 10 minutes like Romanuk does.

Cole is also 83 years old so it's a lot easier to forgive senile grandpa who was cool back in the day than whatever Romanuk's excuse is.

First Leafs playoff OT goal since Travis Green in game 6 against Philly in 2003.

e: Kasperi Kapanen scored for Toronto. When Green scored, Sami Kapanen was on the Flyers bench.

Michael Nylander was eliminated from those same playoffs the night earlier, as his Washington Capitals lost to Tampa in triple OT.

Matthews will win the Calder and Babs will win the Jack Adams because it's loving Toronto. It should be Gulutzan but he's the west and Alberta. But only Toronto matters.

Gulutzan's going to finish second in Alberta. Adams finalists will be Babs, McLellan and Torts in some order because that's how Adams voting works.

From there, Torts loses points because voters think he's an rear end. McLellan might lose points because the Oilers should have been good years ago so their improvement might be discounted. Babs had the lowest increase of the 3 but voters are dumb and last overall will feel like the Leafs started at a lower place than a point behind the Oilers last year and he gets narrative points for never winning before.

I don't buy the presumption that coaches are trying to game corsi, especially the idea that they would do so to the exclusion of trying to win games somehow. Like, what's the incentive exactly?

See Saves in baseball. Tie game and the opponent has the bases loaded late? Definitely not the time to use your best reliever.
