I do see something rotten and to me it’s a lack of compete by some of our key players. We just dont have any edge to our game. I bet teams salivate when they play us, stick checks and fly bys all night long. Also, our D is a mess (minus Reilly and Muzzin). Hainsey, Oz and Zaitsev are not good enough. I’m sure getting Gardiner and Dermott back will help.
The Leafs are sick. Really sick. I don’t know exactly how many of them caught the Edmonton plague, but Kasperi Kapanen couldn’t play and Zach Hyman missed the morning skate. When I tried to talk to Hyman postgame, he sounded absolutely terrible, and I regretted my decision. Going to need some Purell.
Even an official left midgame due to illness, which is a new one.
That’s a killer flu.
“It’s just everybody,” Nazem Kadri said. “Even talking to the linesman out there, it seems like everyone’s catching a piece of it. Just have to make sure you take care of yourself and get your rest.”
The Leafs cancelled practice on Tuesday to do just that. No point coming to the rink and further self-contaminating if you don’t have to.
