I'm surprised that the Canes never got a make-up call after that bogus GI penalty on Skinner.

Missed opportunity. The Leafs are a very beatable club.

Worst win of the season.
Canes are always trouble. Shocked at the Hanifin goal.

Defense REALLY sucked.
Yeah, it'd be good for that team to sign someone like JVR or Neal if they make it to FA. Need goal scorers but a good team already

Maybe you'll have better luck against the Arenas.
You say beatable, they are now, but this was just worst looking win, they've had.
Is Andersen beatable?

For all the times I(or other Leafs fans) argued with opposing fans that despite being outshot the games were even or in our favour due to CF or xGF. I will gladly admit the Canes completely dominated us here. The shot clock was completely correct. xGF 5.88 to 2.27, CF 91 to 39. Complete robbery and I'm not afraid to admit it. Leafs need to be way better, You won't win many games playing like that.

The Hainsey interference call was bullshit as well. The Canes need a #1C more than the Leafs need a #1D.

This was the worst game the Leafs have probably played under Babcock. I'll take the two points. Every team has bad games but we're 7-1-1 in our last nine while working through our issues.

Canes have a really good roster that is missing some key pieces. Goaltending still sucks and they need a high end forward. When you have so many good skating defenseman who can make a good first pass, it's no wonder are one of the better possession teams. We only have Rielly and Gardiner when he's on his game who can do that consistently.

They got the make up in not being called on a couple of blatant penalties... after getting a few soft PPs early.

That post wasn’t meant to be as obnoxious as it read. That was not a commentary on the Leafs overall, just in the context of this particular matchup from a Carolina perspective. The Canes can hang with the Leafs in a way that they can’t with certain other teams in the league; Carolina can outskate Toronto, but they can’t outskate New York (Rangers), Pittsburgh and Tampa. Carolina has to take advantage of a situation in which they’re rested and are at home against a team they matchup well against. Otherwise, they’re on the outside looking in again.

The goaltending just wasn’t there tonight. Andersen outplayed Ward. He was the difference.

I hate the reffing this season. Has not improved at all.

Stars have high sticked us like 3 times this game, no call.

Smith embellishes a goaltender interference call, they call that.

Boeser with another point? jesus. Calder race this season will be pretty fantastic if this keeps up.
