Coyotes with a good push in the 3rd.

23 shot attempts thru the first 13 minutes of the third for the Yotes.

They do this every once in a while, especially back in the first month of the season, which makes us think there's no way they should actually be this terrible. And yet.

Nothing but hard nosed hockey there.

If Matthews wants to be an elite guy in the NHL he's going to have to play through that kind of special attention like every other elite player in the league.

Bullshit. That gets called if the Leafs don't have the lead or it's earlier in the game. Game management at it's finest.

Arizona is really trying to be worse then Colorado was last year.

 

[Del Preston]

Raanta has given up 15 goals on 31 shots in his shootout career.

Good effort by the Coyotes but Sharks take it.
Good game, or at least the 2nd half which i saw was.

 

[SourTemplePilot]

Pfft, poor form, dude. Stars would've tied the Blues if the Leafs had managed to hold a lead late for once.

Dammit.

It's gonna be close down the stretch.

Lol. Edmundson's a beaut.

As others have already mentioned. This happens a bunch of times per game. This won't get called especially in a late game situation. Is it technically breaking the rules, sure, but then you would be able to argue that Matthews had a part in that by getting tangled up there at the end. This is a nothing play IMO.

PS I was rooting for the Leafs and was 100% sure that Willy was going to end that game in OT when he went on his breakaway. Alas it didn't happen but it was a pretty good game IMO.

Matthews gets the McDavid treatment, all the sudden its not so funny anymore.
