This should be a goal, but I doubt it.

Matthews protects the puck like a champ, with zero panic!

Ottawa held off the Flyers, crazy, they just sat back for too long.

Hurray for an 8 goal game

 

One time the entire year a Leafs game hit the under. Eventually these bookies are going to smarten up, but for now ride the overs. NHL-wide and especially Leafs games.

 

Penalties per game are starting to trend down (from 4.1 to 3.95 per team) but that's been offset buy a spike in PP% (17.5% to 19.3%). I don't think that's sustainable so goals per game might be topping out. For now it has stayed steady at around 6.2 per game and Vegas lines are still averaging under 6.

The overs have been insane.

Awww yeah... Matthews!

[Spanky__99]

Godammit Leafs!

National Hockey League: Why isn't it the Toronto Maple Leaves instead of Leafs?

Because they were named after the Maple Leaf regiment of the Canadian Army. Since Maple Leaf is a proper noun, the correct plural is Maple Leafs, not Maple Leaves.

I love hockey...

I love hockey too..... Right now its a confusing time for a Jets fan as Helly is playing lights out but we are rolling 1 line that can score at the moment (Whatever line Scheifle is on). We are winning but need to get secondary scoring somewhere.

Greg Millen has to be the worst commentator I have ever heard for any professional sport. Like, f***. How has he held a steady broadcasting job for the last twenty years?
