He was dancing circles around Toronto's defence tonight. Just couldn't beat Andersen. Were we watching the same game?

I want to know too...

Anderson stands on his head despite the team's performance while the game goes to OT-shootout...

"Easy 2 points"

 

[firstemperor]

Leafs are good at limiting quality shots, and letting Andersen see the weak ones.

Agreed, this isn't a Maurice-Leafs iteration team where we'd regularly outshoot teams and not be able to score......Leafs like to generate high quality chances in the slot and tend to overpass. A lot of the shots were on the perimeter from the Flames....some of those can be tricky through bodies but generally, are far lower % shots.

[snipes]

Of course. My god is our PK a dumpster fire.

 

[Sam Spade]

Boooo shootouts.

 

[joe dirte]

I like the leafs as much as anyone but I think Winnipeg got our team beat on "best team in Canada".

meh. leafs fans were told last year was a one off and they'd regress straight back. and no playoff success yet. why would we give the jets the benefit of the doubt?

nope. they have a lot more to prove than the leafs. same number of wins too. just a couple of OT Losses separating their record.

so nah, the leafs have done it two years now. it's leafs till jets prove otherwise.

You mean the team that's playing better?

 

[naruto]

Did you already forget that you lost to the Nucks last week?

yes? they didn't get murdered by them either? 2-1, sir.
btw, did you watch the game today between the Leafs and Flames, where the Leafs won?

 

[The Macho King]

I didn't think the Flames had a lot of quality chances. Lots of shots, but Andersen saw all of them and the D cleaned up the rebounds.

Shot totals show the territorial dominance, but I don't think Andersen stole the game or anything.

 

[Devonator]

Ha ha...Stupid Flames lose again......good stuff!!!

yep. For what it's worth, Leafs had a 44-33 edge in scoring chances and high quality chances were 15-15

Are you joking? We could easily have had 8 legitimate powerplays so far. There was a missed elbow literally seconds before the one they called and another 3 or 4 clear as day interference and tripping calls just missed due to the number already called.

I’ve never seen a team commit as many offences as the Oilers.

How about that highstick on gryba after the whistle? No call with a ref standing 5 feet from it.

I’m not saying we’ve had everything called against us, but in terms of missed calls I’d say the Oilers have had the better of it.

I'm going to have to agree here. Refs could have called more easily.

For the record, most of us watched the game. Andersen stole 2 pts. You can keep your fancy stats or flush them.

BTW the Oilers vs Flyers are the game now. I am sure there is a PGT somewhere on the team board.

 

[joe dirte]

it's pretty sweet to be a leaf fan these days. half the roster is capable of stealing games. someone steps up almost every game.

Dat five hole...

I watched the game too and I'm pretty far from a Leafs fan. Flames were not generating A chances.

 

[1865]

Clear sign of an Edmonton tank. Weise scores.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Oilers need Talbot back and soon.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

Might as well go for first overall #5 and get Dahlin.
