Out shooting has nothing to do with outplaying. How many bad angle shots and soft blue-line dump shots did the Oilers take tonight? Probably close to 20. And when were many of those shots were accumulated? When the Leafs were up 4-0 and the Oilers were just playing run and gun hockey, as they should because their were no other options. Leafs also took their foot off the pedal, as most teams would being up that high.
Reimer was great but all good teams have great goaltending. That's a fact, jack. After close to a decade of crappy goaltending while outshooting the opponent, I think we know a thing or two about that. Means nothing.

Boston won the Cup after one of the most humiliating experiences in sports history. Young teams learn. They aren't as psychologically fragile as people would portray them. I left last season not the least bit ashamed of the team. They showed a lot and learned a lot. Let's just hope they keep it up.

Lars Eller was wrong, The Oil is not a junior team, they are a junior B team.
One can say we played badly last night only winning 4-0. One line team, and this is a worry against better teams.
All Kessel last night.
Not much offence from Bolland's or Mcclement's line. Going to need Bozak and Kulemin back to balance out the lines.

Even shot enthusiast James Mirtle admitted last night that the SOG were irrelevant because the Leafs outshot the Oilers when the game was close. When it got out of hand, they started defending and didn't do much else.
Edmonton can shoot all they want. We can trust our goalies to make the saves if they can see the puck...can't say the same about Edmonton and their goalies.

Corey Pronman hates us so much.
After placing us 14th in the East in his predictions, after a teams like the Panthers and the Flyers, he's trying to save face by saying that our luck will run out and even if we play like a bad team from now on, our hot start will keep us a bubble team.
It hurts... It hurts so much for him.

From the runaway slave to a modern day king.
Oilers fans are extremely delusional, and some of the posts in their GDT and this PGT just confirm that.
Outshooting and running around a lot in the offensive zone =/= outplaying. There is this thing called defence that they never play. Unfortunately you can't win hockey games unless you are decent there. So when you don't play defence, you aren't outworking anyone. The Leafs owned them when the game was tight in the 2nd.
HFOil need to realize that you need good goaltending, a defence and good finishers to win. Outshooting, outhitting, and outskating doesn't get you **** if you don't have the first three.
EMBRACE THE HATE LEAF NATION.
I hope our corsi this year ends up being worse than last years

Oilers are the worst team in the NHL, that was a pitiful performance last night.
Any Leafs fan celebrating a win over that team, needs to keep it real. I think the Marlies could have gave them a run last night.

I am telling you, Oiler fans remind me of some Leaf fans during the Ron Wilson years.
We sucked but I was afraid to hurt my friends feelings by telling them that we didn't run into a hot goalie, we just sucked.

Dallas Eakins is going to get himself fired before the season is out if he continues to want to play "Run and Gun" no defense Ron Wilson hockey.
As Leaf fans we know that it doesn't work as we were through that already, now knowing that in today's NHL defense and strong goaltending is the path to success.
Leafs were weaned on Run and Gun so playing it against us is even going to be less successful based on our familiarity with it in the past.

Offered and lost
Whilst shot count correlates to zone time and attack time very well, I think this was one of those nights where it just wasn't the case. The Oilers looked like a frustrated hockey team playing frustrated hockey, throwing everything towards the goal from anywhere, instead of trying to be more creative.
It should also be noted that the Leafs actually led this one in Fenwick Close, which doesn't usually happen
Haha
or maybe he's just a closet Leafs fan, and he's just been lowering his expectations so he won't be disappointed!Nawh but he's a good prospects guy.

I noticed that it was one of the first game, where the Leafs got to almost every puck before the Oilers did.
That 2nd period was the best single period we have had so far along with almost complete games against Colorado, Anaheim, Pittsburgh.
One thing missing from last night was a Kessel hatty...there would have been 500 hats on the ice if he scored his hattrick. Wouldn't know if it's ACC or not.

It's amazing how the masses can be fed such bull **** and they bite. Almost like they never watch other hockey games. This is HF so that isn't shocking I guess.
As Tonka said, the look on Eakins' face, and his lip service remind me of RW.
And when a goalie like Bernier becomes available, you pass on it because some no name brand had one good season. Worst management in the NHL theirs. The Leafs, and Kings did the rebuild the right way by making smart trades and drafting well. The Oilers are trying to follow the Pittsburgh model with severely worse players. The Pens model only works if you draft 2 or 3 generation talents.
Yeah, and I honestly am not a huge fan of the Pittsburgh team either. Sure they have Crosby, Malkin, Letang and Fleury but after their big 4, there's very little depth to speak of.
In today's NHL you need a balanced roster otherwise you get eaten alive in the playoffs when your star players get swarmed by 6'4 230lb defencemen.

Jeffler
See You At Game 3
I love it
Jeffler is single-handedly laying waste to the Toronto sports media on Twitter right now
Haha, thanks guys, happy you enjoyed em
The man is on a mission. Loving it.
Best tweet:
"I really miss Tyler Bozak" ~ Tyler Bozak
Calling out all the media outlets quoting them is such a slap in their faces. A definition of "Sticking it to the man" lol
Had to sneak in a Bozie poke at some point last night, you know how it is
Hey, I say dumb things too from time to time but I own up very, very quickly when I'm wrong
Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I put up a post today on The Leafs Nation with all the quotes plus links to the articles they're from if you want more of a laugh
