Keefe has Marincin and Ceci out on the penalty kill, so the Leafs lack of defensive depth is biting them here.

If the Loafs stars don't show up and score them out of trouble, the back end of the team can't save them

That was an important save by Hutchinson. 3 down now would have been tough to come back from.

Marincin has gone off injured now, this could be the chance for Sandin to get called back up if Marincin is out.

Might be a silly question but do the goalies have different skates as they need stability rather than speed?

Goalie skates are flat instead of rockered, because they mostly just stand around, built for standing a lot.

Same ol' same ol' Loafs overpaid entitled prima donna's feeling like they get to take nights off during the season

Once you hand out the huge contracts, you have no leverage over them, they do as they please

The guys without the huge contracts showed up, because they are competing for ice time and jobs

The guys with the huge contracts are prone to dogging it in the regular season.

If they fall out of a playoff spot, then they feel the pressure, but after they win a few in a row, they get lazy again

Not a good night for the Leafs or Leeds. At least the cricket is going well. South Africa need a record score of 438 in their 2nd innings to avoid defeat.

The Loafs supporting cast actually had a good night, Engvall goal & assist, Freddie the Goat scores a beauty

The weak defence is coming back to haunt them and will continue to, they are easily hemmed in by weak teams

Hopefully Marincin is hurt and Sandin gets called up, not that he's a savior, but just for the entertainment value

Sandin is no worse than any of these other guys defensively, he's certainly better than Marincin
