Unless Shesterkin isn’t 100% it’s a drat big mistake to start lundqvist again

I'm all in on the conspiracy theory that Igor is fine and the team just knows they're buying out Lundqvist in the off season and want to give him one last chance to win it all.

Lundqvist is obviously on the decline but he wasn't the reason the power play went 0-7 in game 1

When was the last time there was a game-winning buzzer beater in any situation? This one is the last one I can remember off-hand:

Jones and Werenski are really good.

Matthews had the puck a ton, but he just could never find the space to get off a shot. I think he did once, but I am impressed with how well Columbus managed to smother the Leafs.

Matthews' shot was the great glove save by Korpi late in the 2nd.

Yes he was not the reason they lost but Shesterkin stops the puck better than he does and he moves the puck far far better than Lundqvist who almost literally turns the puck over every time he touches it.
Having a goaltender who can move the puck really well would help disrupt Carolina's forecheck quite a bit

This version doesn't have the NESN audio where Jack Edwards was talking about how you can't score in that little time, right as it happens.

Jones for Johansen looked like a fair 1 for 1 when it happened, Johansen was coming off 33 and 26 goal seasons and Nashvilles top 4 d at the time made Jones seem expendable.

Then he never cracked 20 goals again and Werenski-Jones is one of the best pairings in the league

Honestly if the Hawks get past the Oilers I'm all in on them winning another Asterisk Cup.

And it's Columbus with the Nashville-esque depth on D to the point where Markus Nutivaara, who's a solid 3rd pairing D, was scratched last night and, when Ryan Murray isn't broken, they have three top 10 picks on the blue line.

Their defense is too young right now to actually compete, DeAngelo especially looked rough both games. At least all their young players are all getting free “playoff” experience that they otherwise wouldn’t have in a normal year. Plus a shot at Laf!

The Leafs spent multiple 2nd rounders on deadline deals to push middling Leafs teams into the playoffs so that Matthews et al would get “playoff experience,” 4 straight seasons and they still look like they have no idea how playoff hockey works

Interesting you say Matthews 'cause I thought he was one of the only guys to have a pretty solid game but fair point on some of the others (especially Marner.. he was in the line up right?)
