I watched the game from early in the 2nd on. Matthews and Marner were completely invisible. I don't understand how two guys with that much skill even manage to fade into the background in the second half of a close game 7.
So the only goalie the Leafs have under contract next year is Mrazek @ 3.8M, and Mikheyev, Giordano, Lyubushkin, and Campbell are all free agents? Should be a fun offseason.
Nestor Cortes is all of us:
"So sometimes I throw a pitch, and I see that they're way late, or they swing through it. And I look back, and I'm like, ‘It's 91.’ Like, I don't understand how they miss it.
I've been watching guys repeatedly swing through middle high cutters since last year, and I don't understand. If you saw video of all his pitches with velo, you'd assume he's a AAA journeyman.
