Leafs get a lesson from the Lightning Globe_Sports
Yes, the Leafs were missing some important pieces. But there were also too many no-shows from those who are supposed to be carrying the freight. Neither John Tavares nor Mitch Marner were lighting anything up.
You want to talk depth? The Lightning took a 4-0 lead with a grand total of one assist from their big stars Steve Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov and Victor Hedman. Kucherov had the second assist on Tyler Johnson’s first of two goals. Also scoring for the Bolts were Anthony Cirelli, Ondrej Palat and Cedric Paquette, who finished with two goals. Connor Brown scored the final Leafs goal.
Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly lost the puck near his own blueline just as the rest of his power-play mates decided to change on the fly. This left Rielly alone to contend with three opponents in his own end and Paquette quickly scored on Leafs goaltender Garret Sparks.Sparks was in the Leafs’ net because starter Frederik Andersen got the mercy hook in the second period by head coach Mike Babcock after Tampa’s third goal. Andersen was not one of the culprits in this mess.
