Look at this instead:
If someone changed Phaneuf to JVR, this would be perfect.
Look at this instead:
They should have traded for Bernier
It would have been a huge overpayment, since the Leafs gave Lombardi a chance to get him out of the conference.
You guys beat us badly, but c'mon. We outshot you guys badly and if not for superb goaltending by Reimer this is a completely different game.
You guys are good, but relax..your goaltending has kept you in most games this season.
IIRC the quality scoring chances were at best even, if not favouring the Leafs. As Canada4Gold pointed out, most of the Oilers' shots came towards the end of the game when the Leafs were more or less just sitting back and clogging up the middle of the ice. But even if that weren't the case, it's not like having a good goalie is some cheap way of winning games, any more than having good scoring or defense is. That's like the Ducks beating the Coyotes 5-0 and someone saying, "If not for that hat-trick by Perry, this is a completely different game." No ****, but he did get a hat trick, just like Reimer did have a superb game last night, as did JVR/Kadri/Kessel. Phaneuf was also a rock once again, as he has been all season.You guys beat us badly, but c'mon.

Eakins“I don’t know if I’ve seen our team glide more than we did in the second,” said Ference.
“Did he think we stunk in the second?” the coach asked after the Oilers went from losing 1-0 to 3-0.
“I don’t think there was a massive dip. I do agree that the individuals have a consistency and one of a very high level. We got a good taste of that when we played L.A. the other night. It was every shift. Tonight, it was who finishes chances and who doesn’t,” said Eakins.
Ference is like "WTF did I get myself into?"
The disparity wassn't 2:1, though. Their opportunities at goal was right within the realm of the Leafs.What am I supposed to be looking at there? Looks like Edmonton still had more solid chances in the slot not to mention a whole bunch more from the tops of the circles etc.
@cellardweller How quick we are to forget our not so distant pasts. Like I said before the stats tell us you guys are riding some extremely hot goalies and would be in a far different situation had they been playing average or even above average. Not bashing you guys as a fanbase, just saying you're not as good as your record indicates. I'm not sure how you could disagree with that.
We honestly only had one decent scoring chance this game I think. Just terrible. Yak played alright tho
