If leafs get 1 or 2 pts, they would avoid Vegas or Colorado (assuming one of those 2 teams make it out of the division) until the finals right?

It doesn’t make sense to me either. A great team that’s trying to forge a reputation as a champion should want to put its best foot forward every time they’re playing to prove how great they are. I don’t get why it’s fitting for teams like Colorado to go out and try to win a Presidents Trophy but Toronto needs to moth ball everyone out of fear of injury.
Yep
I guess I’m just tired of excuses for everything and mediocrity and all these funky weird losses over the years
Just want a solid quiet elite hard working top 5 team year in and year out that competes for the cup every year ...
Guess that’s weird ..

Winning the president's trophy and locking up first in the division was a lot more meaningful than this game is. 5th or 6th overall isn't a substantial difference

Well the spread here is they can finish 4th overall or 6th. But more importantly, why don’t they just want to flex? To use another example, I doubt Chara, Bergeron or Marchand ever looked a game and said “yeah we could lose this one, don’t need it.”

Jet Li

Wow, that dude is older than me.
Jet, Jet, Jet
I can almost remember
The funny faces
That time you told me
That you were going to be marrying soon
And jet, I thought
The only lonely place was on the moon
Jet, ooh, Jet, ooh
Jet, was your father as bold
As a Sergeant Major?
Oh, how come he told you
That you hardly old enough yet?
And Jet, I thought the Major
Was a Lady Suffragette
Jet, ooh, Jet, ooh
Ah, mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater, much later
Jet
Jet, I thought the Major
Was a little Lady Suffragette
Jet, ooh, Jet, ooh
Ah, mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater, much later

Seriously, it's not like the Jets is a powerhouse like Vegas or Colorado...meaningless game is a really bad excuse to lose to the Jets tonight.

They can flex about their playoff performance, not a regular season game against Winnipeg

I know it's been a meaningless game

But Nylander has be an offensive impact in games. He can't have a hot shift and then take rest of the night off

It’s not like anyone else is showing up. Terrible effort from the team, all included

Paul Maurice with his 5d chess winning the game. Pretending his team wasn't going to play hard and lulled the Leafs into rolling over. Another lesson for Keef I suppose.

I'd be more critical of the players if the Jet's coach didn't outright say that there's somewhat of a gentlemen's agreement.

Me? I rarely blame a goalie.

However, I was just under the impression you were supposed to stop 2 on 1's and shots from the corner.

No, it's the shots from the point and losing the puck that has everyone lacking confidence in a particular goalie.
