Is diving even a penalty anymore? I can't remember the last time I saw it called.

They call it for notorious floppers like Subban or Marchand

Holtby lucky as hell with two posts in 15 seconds

I have a theory that great goalies give you the post

 

[Calicaps]

Look at Oshie winning puck battles against 2 and 3 leafs.

 

[PuckBuddy]

Trotz is smart. Swapping Williams in for Bura on that line to close out that game.

Not from point blank range, he had no clue where the puck was.

 

[Calicaps]

2 points Lloyd.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Most boring win of the season lol

2 pts, next!

 

[g00n]

yisssss chewed about 6 minutes of clock at the end there like it was nothing

 

[895]

I like how Nick didn't give a **** about the ENG.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Two points!

Terrible first period.
Great second period.
Meh first 15 minutes of the third period.
Exquisite final 5 minutes.

 

[Fallschirmyager]

The 3rd was much better. The 3rd line was dominant in holding the leafs in their own end.

 

[sycamore]

1st place, 5 wins in a row, best week of the season so far. Well done

 

[Acallabeth]

Cruise control for the win. Good thing they will have some time to rest up and get Orpik back.

 

[hockeykicker]

cant believe theres another long break in the schedule....

I bet he knew where the pipe was. Note that my theory doesn't apply to every pipe ever hit. I am not even necessarily talking about Holtby tonight.

More importantly I am digging our new offense that tries to score off the rush. The Wardo led charge to cycle zzz.

The schedule is terrible, I don't remember having long breaks like that in previous years.

I was good luck tonight boys.

No you weren't.

Look at Oshie winning puck battles against 2 and 3 leafs.

Even though he's not all over the score sheet, he's doing a lot of heavy lifting. Underappreciated player IMO.

 

[ForzaItalia]

No you weren't.

Pretty dull game all around.

Yeah. Oshie and Williams have so much more hockey sense than we are used to here. Great additions.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Oshie is definitely underrated around here, he is a strong two-way player and keeps many plays alive by hustling all the time.

3rd in points and leading the division now, nice. I would take this compared to mediocrity.

And this team has yet to play it's best hockey over any stretch so far.
