That was playoff hockey. Leafs are going to have to win these types of games if they want playoff success.
 
The Jets had no reason to stay in this game if not for Hellebuyck’s heroics. This game also exposed the Jets’ weakness on defence.

Paul Maurice likes to go with 3 forwards in OT, it backfired as the Leafs scored on a 2 on 1 with Mark Scheifle as the defender left Matthews all alone for a beauty backhander.

I didn’t like Reilly’s decision to get a new stick instead of staying in play. That left a dangerous chance for the Jets with 3 on 2 in front of the net. Somehow that bad decision turned into a 2 on 1 for the win. Go figure.

In OT everything is a gamble, anything can happen.
 
Leafs have been running into some hot goalies, glad they pulled that one off yesterday. Phew.
 
Leafs are playing with more confidence this season. Rielly wouldn't have attempted to get a new stick in the past.

 
😱

Players seldom leave for a new stick until the puck clears the zone. It looked to me that Rielly was so angry that a slashing penalty wasn’t called he lost focus. He was complaining to the ref all the way to the bench. He would have looked really stupid if the Jets scored with him out of the play.

That's an understatement. My God is he ever an amazing player!

The Mighty Portugesh in his new digs! He didn't like the radio format when Tim and Sid went back to The Fan 590. Time for a fresh start.

As for the above trade, you never trade a defenseman, unless you get a goalie in return. I hope he's better than Kasimir Kaskisuo?

 
His name reminds me of a song by Loggins and Messina.

Bob Gainey & Steve Shutt played guitar on that track, didn't they?
 
Does it mean Freddy may be on the trading block ? The games I’ve seen Campbell play he’s as good or better than Freddy. It’s just a small sample size though.
