Not gonna lie, this game scares me. Matthews out (hopefully not Tanev too), Leafs coming off some bad games, and a Detroit team playing for a new coach. They better show up on time or they could be behind early.

Yeah they played pretty well overall that period.

Commentator: "Joseph Woll hasn't lost 2 games in a row this year." Two seconds later, puck in the net.

Defensive zone play and goaltending seems to have regressed a bit over the past bunch of games.

Well, I do have a lot of other things to do tonight...

Of course, it could easily be multiple things. The digestive ailment angle is interesting. He often looks kind of "unwell" to me, bags under his eyes and stuff. Maybe he has multiple medical issues. Then again, maybe not.

Rempe is a disaster out there. He should get at least 10 games for that hit since the message doesn't seem to be getting through.

Kampf with Marner, that's an interesting combo. Whatever they do, they should not touch that 3rd line. As for back problems, that's my guess too. I've dealt with both upper back/neck (disc/nerve root compression) issues and lower back issues (some kind of chronic soft tissue/muscle problem that...

"Report: Auston Matthews re-aggravates existing injury, out for Saturday and questionable for Monday" Translation from Leaf-speak: he's out until well into January. Hoping I'm wrong but at least we know they generally play well when he's out.

Thought these kinds of lackadaisical third-periods-with-a-lead would be a thing of the past under Berube. That last PP was more of a "don't get scored on" effort. Could have put the game away.

McMann is on one of his patented heaters. What a play.

Man, if he could step in and give the Leafs a solid third option, that would be huge. Of course, he's another guy who's had trouble staying healthy so we'll see.

Should be fine. He's hour-to-hour.

if nothing else, this game is way more entertaining than most recent leaf games

3 goals on 5 shots....just SHOOT! lol

-2's all around for the super line so far.

Doesn't feel like they got dominated though. Definitely have to pick up the pace on offense, the 4 shots for bother me more than the 14 against.

I don't really like the idea of leaving Nylander out there for the full 2 min. Probably mishandled that last pass because he was tired.

I no longer pay much attention to Leaf injury "news." I suspect, unless someone has an obviously catastrophic injury - broken leg, severely sprained knee or ankle (the type where you see the replay and it makes you a little queasy), they're all going to be "he's fine, day to day" which really...

Only got to see bits and pieces of the 2nd and 3rd period but some general thoughts. I _really_ liked the look of the 3rd line tonight. Three skilled, quick players...one primarily a passer and two good shooters. Two of them are small but McMann has some size and looks more willing to use it...
