Matthews & Marner v. McDavid & Draistl, head to head, get hype.

Leafs better not shit the bed at home, they could get rinsed if they don't show up
It was a 4-1 win last time wasn't it?

Which means the Oilers will be looking for revenge

Also Jake Muzzin is out, Muzzin is the shutdown guy they usually send out against the McDavid line.

The forwards are going to have to play a two way game here, otherwise they're gonna get burned by McDavid

Is it Freddie in goal?

Yeah, they used Hutchison against the Islanders who can't score, so they could rest Freddie.

Keefe also wants to use Hutchison in situations other than just back to back, against McDavid you go with Fredo

The second hottest team after the Leafs right now, is actually Tampa Bay

Leafs are 9-0-1 in their last 10, but Tampa is 8-1-1

So all of a sudden here comes Tampa Bay nipping that their heels with 52 points in third place

So the Leafs can't afford to take their foot off the gas, they need to keep winning to stay in the hunt

Oilers double shift McDavid, Leafs get hemmed into their own zone, can't get the puck back.

Morgan Rielly screens his own goalie, 0-1

Leafs started out with focus, but that went away quick, then Andersen caught napping as well.

Leafs are due to shit the bed, I gotta bad feeling, Mike Smith is outplaying Fredo here.

Loafs standing around puck watching in their own zone again.

Fredo just got beat again, saved by the crossbar, this is what you get for resting Andersen; he comes back flat

Not getting their usual possession, giving the puck away too easily.

Because they've stopped skating, they're just standing around like deer in the headlights

It's pure laziness, the Loafs can only go so long before they are inclined to just take the night off and phone it in

Soon as the media starts fawning over them, they lose their focus and the sense of entitlement creeps back in

Also, as I said, they are missing Jake Muzzin, Marincin is getting rolled in his own zone playing on the second pair

Meanwhile Mike Smith is stopping everything, standing on his head, while Fredo has already coughed up a softie
