We’re certainly better with Markstrom, but our problem was never goaltending. Not THE problem at least. We are outclassed by top teams, and to top that off, top teams outwork us too.

That whole line has been horrible. I'm not sure why they didn't go with Bennett/Lucic on the fourth line and Backlund/Ryan on the second. Too much success in the playoffs? Overthinking?

Outside of the 2nd and 3rd period of the first game, Bennett has been utter garbage.

I'm done rooting for the kid. 4th overall pick for a 4th liner.

Yeah getting chances on the Leafs shouldn’t be that difficult. Time for a 5-4 game

I'd play my ass off for this goalie. He just never leaves you out to dry.

He was terrible the end of the season 2 season ago including being on the ice for 3 of the 4 playoff gwg vs Colorado. He wasn't very good for the first half of last year too.

But a lot of years left on his sweetheart deal.

I'd be fine if Nordstrom doesn't play again this year.

Yeah, I’m genuinely baffled by our incompetence on this front.

Bennett at centre with Lucic and Dube was dynamite, while Tkachuk-Backlund-Mangiapane were also great.

So naturally - break it all up and do something different.

Sure, switching Lindholm to centre and trying get that Tkachuk and Lindy duo going is a thing...but those are our best two 5 on 5 players, and we clearly can’t afford having them on one line together.

Backlund looks like a lazy pile of junk this season so far, and that’s a big ass problem.

Finally a good shift. Half way through the game, not bad.

Potential for a quick transition and an odd man rush and the first move is to move the puck backwards towards their own end. Brain dead idiots.
