Babcock sticking to his guns starting Hutchison, good luck with that.

Has at least dumped Kapanen from the Tavares and Marner line.

Finally acknowledging what everybody else knew weeks ago.

Starting Andersen against Minnesota and then playing Hutchinson against Washington is flat out retarded. How is he stupid enough for that not to be the other way around.

Avs up 1-0, but getting outplayed. Letang leaving Calvert all alone in front, lulz.

I see the logic in trying to bank the win with Andersen when the team is fresh.

But if Hutchison is the alternative, I would play Andersen back to back and tell Dubas to find a better back up.

Pretty sure even Hutchinson could bank a win over Minnesota, they are fucking awful, no need to waste Freddie in that effort.

Ilya Mikheyev, let's go, baby!

Kapanen also playing better on another line, scores as well.

2-0

The team plays worse on the second night, it becomes a case of throwing Freddie to the wolves on the aggregate.

When its MBCC phoning it in, there's nothing Andersen can do about it, let the backup take it in the teeth.

Vrana scores, 2-1

It was a decent shot, the fake news media says Huctichison 'had no chance"

But actually an NHL starter would have had a good chance of reading the play and getting in front of that.

The Leafs have to score their way out of the hole with Hutchison, he's guaranteed to let in a few.

Can't have an off night with Hutchison, can't be the MBCC without Freddie.

[StCapps]

The refs give Crosby a goal by not calling a blatant too many men on the ice penalty. Lame.

Sweet play though, but only reason it happened is because Crosby jumped on the ice like two or three seconds early with no call.

[Smitty-48]

Check the Mikheyev.

He chunks the shot, but his breakout speed backed the goalie in, so it found room.



Second point of the night for Kappy on the assist.

Mikheyev - Kerfoot - Kapanen.

The Leafs best line right now.
