However, they were the victims of stellar goaltending and timely scoring by the opposition. The end result was a loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The First Weak Penalty Call on the Maple Leafs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of the Predators\u2019 goals scored in regulation were power-play goals by Ryan O\u2019Reilly.\u00a0 Both penalty calls that led to Nashville going on the power play were weak.\u00a0The first call was a roughing penalty on TJ Brodie after a multiplayer scrum in front of the Toronto net. Nine of the ten skaters on the ice were involved in the scrum.\u00a0Morgan Rielly and Kiefer Sherwood were the first two combatants.\u00a0In the melee that ensued, Brodie simply wrapped his arms around Sherwood and held him.\u00a0That was it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/TJ-Brodie.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/TJ-Brodie.jpeg 702w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/TJ-Brodie-211x300.jpeg 211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">TJ Brodie, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>We know that referees are instructed, at times, to pick one player out of a scrum thus awarding one of the teams a power play.\u00a0The idea of that is to make players think twice before getting involved in these activities.\u00a0In this case, the Maple Leafs had just scored a power-play goal; and, with the game in Nashville, I guess they decided it would not bode well for them if they called another penalty on the Predators.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easy decision was to pick a random Maple Leafs player.\u00a0The league has been accused of having an \u201ceven up\u201d mentality when it comes to penalties.\u00a0It is hard to argue that this was not an \u201ceven up\u201d call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O\u2019Reilly scored the first of his two goals on the ensuing power play when he was awarded way too much time and space and left alone with the puck down low in front of the Toronto net.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Second Weak Penalty Call on the Maple Leafs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the second penalty, there was a scramble in front of the Maple Leafs net.\u00a0At one point the puck ended up between the feet of Nashviile\u2019s Cory Sissons. Both Morgan Rielly and Calle Janrkrok attempted to play the puck.\u00a0Both players\u2019 sticks made contact with Sissons\u2019 skates causing Sissons to trip.\u00a0Jarnkrok got the tripping call on the play.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tripping rule in hockey is pretty basic.\u00a0If you cause another player to trip it is a penalty.\u00a0Period.\u00a0But, there is usually some leeway given if a player is playing the puck and an opposing player gets tripped up in the process.\u00a0Ironically there were two blatant trips, one for each team, that were not called in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O\u2019Reilly scored his second power-play goal on the power play on a deflection that Maple Leafs\u2019 starter Samsonov had no chance on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timothy Liljegren<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the second game in a row in which the Maple Leafs lost a defenseman.\u00a0This time it was Timothy Liljegren. After taking a hit from Yakov Trenin behind the Maple Leafs net, Liljegren was in some discomfort on the bench before leaving the game and not returning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That left the Maple Leafs with five defensemen to finish the game.\u00a0One of those defensemen was the newly called-up William Lagesson.\u00a0Lagesson actually held his own pretty well in limited ice time.\u00a0He was not noticeable much either negatively or positively, which is not a bad thing for a defenseman.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lagesson only played 10:56.\u00a0That meant that once Liljegren left the game head coach Sheldon Keefe pretty much relied on four defensemen for the rest of the game. Brodie, Rielly, Mark Giordano, and John Klingberg all played more than 20 minutes. Rielly led the way at 27:48 TOI.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Too Many Men Penalty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Maple Leafs took two too-many-men-on-the-ice penalties in the third period.\u00a0They were not scored upon on either penalty; however, it did cost them four minutes of ice time they could have spent trying to score the winning goal instead of having to try and prevent a goal from being scored by Nashville.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thehockeywriters.com\/maple-leafs-news-rumors-samsonov-minten-lagesson\/\">Maple Leafs News &amp; Rumors: Samsonov, Minten, &amp; Lagesson<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Good<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Maple Leafs got off to a good start in the game.\u00a0They outshot the Predators 12-6 in the first period.\u00a0According to Naturalstattrick.com, the Scoring Chances in the period were 15-5 Toronto and the High-Danger Scoring Chances were 4-1 Toronto.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">William Nylander<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They stated at the beginning of the game that if either William Nylander or John Tavares got a point in this game it would tie a franchise record for a consecutive point streak to start the season. Both had points in the first seven games the Maple Leafs had played this season.\u00a0A dive into the record book showed that Frank Mahovlich (1961), Lanny McDonald (1976), and John Anderson (1982) all have a share in that record.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"704\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/John-Tavares-William-Nylander.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/John-Tavares-William-Nylander.jpeg 704w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/John-Tavares-William-Nylander-300x213.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">John Tavares &#038; William Nylander, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It didn\u2019t take long for Nylander to tie the record.\u00a0After a slashing call on Nashville\u2019s Flip Forsberg when he got his stick in on the hands of Auston Matthews, Nylander finished off a nifty passing play by Mitch Marner and Matthews with a one-timer. Juuse Saros had no chance on the shot.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tavares saw his point streak come to an end leaving Nylander alone atop of the team scoring with six goals, and six assists for a total of 12 points in the first eight games\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ilya Samsonov<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a difficult time deciding where to put Samsonov\u2019s performance in this game.\u00a0He only allowed two goals in regulation.\u00a0Both were power-play goals.\u00a0One he had absolutely no chance on.\u00a0The other, he probably should have had.\u00a0He had body position on O\u2019Reilly\u2019s first goal.\u00a0It still got past him.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funny thing how close stats can be.\u00a0Samsonov stopped 21 of the 24 shots he faced in the game, which works out to a sub-par 0.875 save percentage.\u00a0In regulation time, Samsonov stopped 21 of 23 shots.\u00a0That works out to a Save Percentage of 0.913%.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we were reporting that Samsonov finished the game with a 0.913 save percentage, we would be praising him for a job well done.\u00a0But, that OT goal dropped his save percentage by 0.038 points to 0.875%.\u00a0One goal.\u00a0Huge difference in stats.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the eye test, Samsonov looked like he was playing scared in the first period.\u00a0He did appear to settle down as the game went on.\u00a0While I can\u2019t say he ever looked totally comfortable, I can say he looked competent.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would have been nice if the overtime had gone the other way.\u00a0It probably would have gone a lot further to restore some confidence in Samsonov\u2019s game.\u00a0 But, baby steps.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mark Giordano<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just past the halfway point of the second period the line of David Kampf, Matthews Knies, and Max Domi along with defensemen Klingberg and Giordano had a great shift and spent 53 seconds in the Predator\u2019s zone.\u00a0The five players got 20 different touches of the puck before Klingberg found Domi down low in front of the Nashville net.\u00a0Domi took a shot that Saros stopped with his stick.\u00a0The rebound went to Kampf, who tipped the puck to Giordano who had snuck down from the point.\u00a0Giordano deposited the puck into the open cage to put the Maple Leafs up 2-1 at the time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some strange reason, the official scoring had the goal as Giordano from Kampf with no assist given to Domi.\u00a0I have no idea why Domi would not get the secondary assist on the goal.\u00a0No player for Nashville played the puck, and the only Predator to touch it was Saros.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was Giordano\u2019s first goal since February 26 of last season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Ugly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, the \u201cUgly\u201d in this game started with 22 seconds left in the third period.\u00a0At that time Rielly gave the puck to Giordano behind the Toronto net. Giordano did absolutely nothing with the puck from that point on.\u00a0He just ran the clock out. He didn\u2019t even attempt to make a play with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I fully understand the importance of having the game go into overtime and gaining that one point in the standings, but 22 seconds is a long time in a hockey game.\u00a0I would have rather seen Giordano try to make some kind of a play to give the Maple Leafs a chance to win the game in regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mark-Giordano-a.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mark-Giordano-a.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mark-Giordano-a-300x180.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mark-Giordano-a-768x461.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The \u201cUgly\u201d carried into the overtime.\u00a0The Predators scored 2:13 into the OT.\u00a0They maintained possession of the puck from the opening faceoff of the overtime until Roman Josi fired it past Samsonov to win the game.\u00a0Matthews was the only Maple Leafs\u2019 player to have the puck on their stick at all.\u00a0He had it for about five seconds before he was stripped of it by Tommy Novak just before the winning goal was scored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I couldn\u2019t help but wonder if the way the game ended was karma getting back at the Maple Leafs for the weak way the third period ended.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a very successful road trip by the Maple Leafs as they finished it with a 3-1-1 record.
