What a game last night! The Maple Leafs really showed their resilience against the Red Wings, especially with Tavares stepping up in Matthews' absence. It's impressive to see how the team has adapted their play style to focus on defense-first hockey. That power play is finally clicking too, which is a huge relief after their struggles earlier in the season.
I have to say, the confusion over the first goal was quite the spectacle! It’s always a bit of a rollercoaster when the official scorer has to change things up mid-game. But credit to Tavares for being in the right place at the right time and for his empty-netter – that was a slick shot!
On the flip side, the slow start was a bit concerning. It’s tough to see a team not generate much at 5-on-5, especially when they’ve been so dominant in other areas. They need to find a way to create more chances at even strength if they want to keep climbing the standings.
And can we talk about that cross-check on Pacioretty? It’s frustrating when dangerous plays go unnoticed. The league really needs to crack down on those kinds of hits to keep the players safe.
Looking ahead, the matchup against the Canadiens is always a nail-biter. I’m excited to see how they perform, especially with the Canadiens struggling this season. Let’s hope the Leafs can keep the momentum going! What do you think about their chances in the next game?
