Kings look very flat.

Had their legs Desjardins first game, but damn they are back to baseline.

 

[La Masse]

It's not quite the Flames at Anaheim, but they don't seem to be hexed in other arenas quite like in Boston.

They swept the Bruins last year in the season and didnt end up beating them in the playoffs. If we get a rematch this season I think it would be imperative for the Leafs to get home ice to control the matchups

 

[A1LeafNation]

Jones f***ing it up against Nashville.

Flat? There is a petition going around to rename the team the "Stanley's"

Sens 5 Kings 1
Leafs 4 Kings 1
Isles 7 Kings 2
Sabres 5 Kings 1
Wild 4 Kings 1
Flyers 5 Kings 2

Tonight after 2
Leafs 5 Kings 1

Lots of flat happening out here in LA..

Nah its def not Flames/Anaheim bad. The leafs had won 9 straight against the Bruins (or something close to that) literally up until a year ago I believe.

Also, In both playoff series, leafs were able to win 2 games at TD Garden to push to game 7 (Granted they lost the game 7's both times).

But yeah, we still seem to have problems in that building

Grimaldi

I must gif that.

Sharks collapsing

Maybe flat equals Jack Hughes.

To think, there were a lot of people that thought the Kings could upset Vegas in the playoffs last year

 

[Osprey]

All of those extra airline miles must be finally taking their toll on the Sharks .

I said to myself an hour ago that the Preds had a better chance to come back from down 3-0 than the Kings did to come back from down 2-1. It's amusing that I was right.

Maybe flat equals Jack Hughes.

You may be onto something there. Whenever I get a flat, I get the jack.

The Kings don't have to tank to get Hughes - they just have to make sure they keep putting the same roster on the ice every game

[AussieCapsFan]

Preds might have the best goalie tandem in the league

The Leafs seem to be the type of team that if up 2-1 wants to pour it on.

Sharks? Not so much.

2013 we had weak goaltending from Reimer, and still took it to overtime game 7. Last season Matthews was fighting injuries and was cold. Kadri suspended for a majority of the series. Last Saturday missing two-thirds of our top line and with sparks in net the second day of a back to back. No one with a clear mind could judge the Leafs based on one game against Boston this year.

I find it comical that people still bring up the 2013 series, considering two players from that team are still here.

Well Vegas is only 4 points ahead of the Kings so all that speed of Vegas seems to not be clicking either.
Hopefully the Knights string a few wins together, though does Detroit have their #1?

 

[bukwas]

Lindholm is looking like a good player. He could be real good when he gets a little stronger.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Not being a homer here, But Ducks probably take that .. Gibson and Miller is as good as it gets.

 

[Mass]

Jones ****ing it up against Nashville.

3 out of the 4 goals are mostly clean breakaways or 2 on 1's. Give a little more credit to the defense.

 

[Osprey]

The Leafs seem to be the type of team that if up 2-1 wants to pour it on.

Sharks? Not so much.

I think that it has more to do with the Preds being the best team in the league right now and the Kings being the worst. The Sharks likely did sit back, though, which was dangerous against such an opponent.

I thought Nashville might take a step back after that playoff letdown vs. Winnipeg.

Guess not.

Gibson is the best goalie in the league and the only reason Randy still has a job.

 

[aufheben]

Wow Jones made a save

 

[Mass]

Another 2 on 1 and Jones with a ridiculous save.

Yeah I think you might be right. Just had a look at their stats.
That Preds team, though - in terms of forwards, defence, and goaltending. They are scary.
