Were the Oil bad, or did the Leafs just get very fortunate? I'm leaning towards more of the former, but a bit of the latter. I mean, the 1st goal, broken coverage. The third goal... What the hell was Bouch thinking - he just let Matthews take the puck, end then played as effectively as a pylon as Holmberg went to the net. The 4th goal was just a dumb decision to try and avoid the off-side.
And the Leafs were without Marner, Jarnkrok, and Bertuzzi. I could care less about Bertuzzi, cuz he's been about as useful as a bag of pucks for 85% of the season. Jarnkrok is a shut-down kinda player, and a big asset defensively. Marner is Marner.
Nice to get 2 points out of that game, and fortunately Samsonov's injury isn't anything serious. Now Carolina at 6ET today. Tough game to have to travel and play in less than 24 hours - though, they had the exact situation against Carolina last year, and pulled out a W somehow. Doubt that's gonna happen tonight.
