By Stan Smith<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had an uneasy feeling going into this game. As a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, it had all the usual red flags.\u00a0The Maple Leafs were coming off a stretch where they hadn\u2019t played in five days and had only played two games in 12 days. In addition, two transatlantic flights were added.\u00a0The Blackhawks were short two key players and had lost five games in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Good<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Maple Leafs showed no signs of sluggishness caused by inactivity to start the game.\u00a0They played one of their best periods in the first period. The John Tavares, William Nylander, and Tyler Bertuzzi line owned the puck on their first two shifts as the Maple Leafs outshot the Blackhawks 7-1 in the first four minutes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

They killed a tripping penalty taken by Mark Giordano before once again peppering the Chicago net with shots and scoring chances.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Third Line Got the Maple Leafs on the Board<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It was the Max Domi, Calle Jarnkrok, and Nick Robertson line that got the Maple Leafs on the board.\u00a0A floating cross-crease pass from Domi to Robertson with a swing and miss along the way from Jarnkrok kind of jammed Robertson. Still, he managed to get his stick on it to launch it over Chicago goalie Arvid Soderblom into the net. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite not getting an assist on the goal, Jarnkrok played a big role in it. His position in front of the net and his attempt to bat the puck out of midair forced Soderblom to play the attempted Jarnkrok shot.\u00a0As a result, he was slow to get over to stop Robertson\u2019s shot.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Maple Leafs Continued Their Onslaught in the Second Period<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the score 1-1 after one period, the Maple Leafs continued their onslaught on the Blackhawks in the second period. They scored two goals in the first three and a half minutes to go up 3-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first goal was a one-foot tap-in by Jarnkrok on a fake-shot-pass from TJ Brodie. The second goal was a redirection of a Jake McCabe pass into the Chicago net by Ryan Reaves. It was not only Reaves first goal as a Maple Leaf but his first in 29 games going back to March 25th of this year.\u00a0Coincidentally, the last goal Reaves scored was against the Blackhawks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first half of this game was as lopsided as it gets.\u00a0According to Naturalstattrick.com, in the first period, the Maple Leafs had 12 High-Danger Scoring Chances in all situations to just two for Chicago.\u00a0 The Maple Leafs also had 86.4% of the Expected Goals.\u00a0Just before the Blackhawks scored their second goal with 7:33 left in the second period the shots on net were 22-10 Toronto.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ugly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All three of the goals scored by Chicago in regulation were off of ugly giveaways by Toronto players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the first goal, Morgan Rielly has control of the puck in the Maple Leafs\u2019 zone.\u00a0It is difficult to say if he was attempting to backhand the puck out of the zone or if he was trying to send a waist-high pass up to Mitch Marner at the blue line.\u00a0As it was, Marner tried to knock the puck down but was never able to gain control of it.\u00a0Jason Dickinson picked up the puck just inside the blue line and fired it past Ilya Samsonov, who was too far back in his net on his knees. The puck beat him short side. That is one that Samsonov has to stop.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The second goal Samsonov had no chance on.\u00a0The puck gets dumped behind his net to his left.\u00a0Conor Timmins and ex-Leaf Joey Anderson battle for it behind the net.\u00a0William Lagesson comes in and attempts to bat the puck past Anderson into the right-hand corner.\u00a0He accidentally knocks the puck right to Dickinson, who is standing to the right of Samsonov.\u00a0The play happened so fast, by the time Samsonov moved from the left side of the net to the right it was too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third Chicago goal was reminiscent of the first one.\u00a0This time it was Jake Mccabe with the puck behind the Maple Leafs goal line to the right of Samsonov. Rather than make the safe play and pass the puck around behind the net to the open Giordano, McCabe attempts a short pass to a covered Auston Matthews standing still in front of the goal. Nick Foligno ties up Matthews allowing Dickinson to pick up the puck and fire it past Samsonov for the hat trick.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was also a tough one on Samsonov.\u00a0Despite the turnover happening quickly, Samsonov does appear to get set and appears in a strong position to stop the puck.\u00a0It just beat him over his right shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter how bad a team is in the NHL if you let them hang around in a game and give them life it is going to hurt you. If you do not capitalize on your scoring chances it is going to hurt you.\u00a0If you gift a team goals it is going to hurt you.\u00a0The Maple Leafs did all three of those things in this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completely controlling the game for the first 32 minutes, the second Chicago goal at 7:33 of the second period went right to their legs.\u00a0From that point on to the end of the game, the Blackhawks outshot Toronto 24-15.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Overtime Was Exciting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The overtime was as exciting as it gets with both teams having multiple chances to win it.\u00a0Nylander appeared to have the game won when he broke in all alone on Soderblom. He had Soderblom down and out but his backhand went post, crossbar, post, and out.\u00a0That ended Nylander\u2019s scoring streak to start the season at 17 games.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The winning goal by the Blackhawks with 30 seconds<\/a> left in the overtime was just bad luck.\u00a0The puck bounced off the glass behind the net and came down behind Samsonov in the crease.\u00a0Kevin Korchinski was the first player to find it and knocked it behind Samsonov into the net.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The core five players on the Maple Leafs were held pointless in the game.\u00a0Marner, Matthews, and Rielly were all -2 in plus-minus.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Maple Leafs First Line Struggles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Marner had one of his worst games of the season and struggled to make the simplest of plays.\u00a0Matthews made some decent plays with the puck but he seemed to want to overhandle it when he had it.\u00a0Rather than playing his game, Knies seems to be trying to emulate Matthews and Marner. He’s attempting to make plays with the puck he is incapable of.\u00a0The whole line seems intent on trying to make the perfect play instead of just getting the puck on the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past six games, Matthews and Marner have just three points each.\u00a0Both Nylander (11 points) and Tavares (7 points) have outscored them in that stretch.\u00a0But so have Domi (6 points), Bertuzzi (5 points), Rielly (5 points), and Robertson (4 points).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Bit More Good for the Maple Leafs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite the Maple Leafs’ struggles and inconsistencies, they have only lost one game in regular in their past seven games.\u00a0They have gone 5-1-1 in that stretch. In fact, after going 2-2 in their first four games their record in their last 14 games is 8-3-3.\u00a0That is a 0.678% winning percentage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their winning percentage last season was 0.677%.\u00a0This team is not playing as well as it could and they are not as defensively sound as they were last season. But, they are still finding a way to win games, or at the very least playing well enough to get a point.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Maple Leafs don\u2019t have time to ponder their misfortune in Chicago as they go right back at it tonight in Pittsburgh.\u00a0After everything that happened in the offseason, with Kyle Dubas\u2019 departure and now being at the helm of the Penguins, this is a big game. It could be the beginning of a rivalry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After a mediocre start to the season, the Penguins went on a five-game winning streak but have cooled off since.\u00a0They have lost four of their last five games including a 3-2 loss to the Sabres in Buffalo Friday night. With Pittsburgh playing in Buffalo last night neither team has the advantage in the back-to-back games.\u00a0Both teams played the night before and had to travel to Pittsburgh.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I stated off the top, I had a bad feeling going into last night\u2019s game.\u00a0I have a good feeling about this one.\u00a0Matthews and Marner are due for a good game.\u00a0I think they do so in this one.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
