    Nylander couldn’t have played that worst.

  2. leafman4000

    Fuckin idiots. What a pathetic powerplay

  3. SkyMarshal_Ellie

    Time for the Leafs to Leaf yet again….

  4. daddygape69

    what the fuck was that? zero communication

  5. Significant_News_638

    Rielly has been in the league way too long to not know how to play a 2 on 1. He is always overcommitting to the shooter: let him take that shot with your goalie square, never let that pass get across

  6. Cup presentation tonight is still on for Ottawa

  7. Shooternow

    Willy chasing the guy that’s covered already… wtf

  8. Ristifer

    Just get setup in the bloody zone. Holy fuck, man.

  9. PersonalTrade7334

    Lmao nylander is so braindead on defence

  10. Silly Sens

    You can’t score two goals on one powerplay

  11. GreatSetting34

    If Tavares could win a PP faceoff this PP would be unstoppable. He loses almost every single PP faceoff and the first unit never gets set up until 20-30 secs has expired. And now they are giving up SH goals. I get he is an elite faceoff guy, but he can’t win one on the PP. It’s a problem.

  12. frmacleod

    Time to put four defenders on the PP I guess.

  13. FeralHat

    Contender for worst PP this season? Shocking

  14. Prometheus1866

    Robertson cannot shoot the puck at all in recent games.

  15. Kinglokner16

    My prediction Nick Robertson won’t be a Leaf after the trade deadline

  16. DavidWallace-Suckit

    You’re fucking kidding me right as I start watching

  17. Mrfantastic2

    We could be first in the league and Ottawa and their band of guys I’ve never heard of would still play out of their minds lol

  18. Murky_Army_4896

    What did I fucking say about Robertson!?

  19. Robertson whiffs on 80% of shots, the kid is so hyper out there

  20. oatmealleafer

    Really feels like Robertson never gets that big shot off

  21. Volderon90

    Game is too fast for Robertson. Asking a double A player to play triple A. Just can’t do it for a long time. You get exposed

  22. GreatSetting34

    Matthews should be taking the PP faceoffs. Not Tavares.

  23. ProfessorBeast55

    0 fucking shots. Let’s get serious…

  24. MrBalanced

    I’ve been pretty unhappy with our play pretty much the second we went up 2-0.

    Lazy passes, losing basically every puck battle, no speed or urgency.

    I’d be benching people if I were Keefe.

  25. Level_Exercise_3939

    If Robertson ever gets hot it will be insane, I feel like he feels the pressure these days

  26. glightningbolt

    The ice along the boards behind the Leafs net looks brutal.
