Mikheyev is overpaid, small Vesey is useless (Sabres reject as advertised), and Lehtonen needs to go back to the KHL. I thought power forward's Vesey, Mikheyev, Nylander, and Lehtonen will save the day. Habs are easily winning the Canadian division.

You now have $10 million in cap space to make trades.

Mikheyev was really good tonight. 1.6 is a good number for him

Mikheyev literally was amazing 4 SHG chances, was pickpocketing players left and right and if he scored that would have been an amazing night for him.

Both teams played well but one bad call gave Edmonton the lead. How the Ref thought Muzzin tripped Kahun when u could clearly see Yamamotos stick get stuck in the skates boogles me, but hey it happens.

oh well ggs.

Whole team needs to work out their finishing and I think he'd be good for a few SHGs by the end of the season.

The problem wasn't Mikheyev/Nylander...

Vesey isn't a guy that should be in the Top 6.

The team lacks work ethic. Kerfoot was standing still on the Draisaitl goal, was too busy puck watching. I can't skate and could likely beat Simmonds in a race on the ice. Matthews had moments of brilliance, and other times where he looked completely gassed.

Same issues as they've always had... I hope the Vets are able to instill work ethic on the guys... They've been lacking a lot of effort...

Also that Muzzin call was total bologna... wish there was a challenge for that.

Dude. What? Mikheyev is a solid 3rd liner. For 1.6 that is great. Vesey is a cheap experiment. And did you seriously list Nylander as a Power Forward??

Leafs played well tonight. Koskinen finally showed up. Focus on the positives man. That was game 5.

Nope, all wrong. You don't make the playoffs with Vesey, Simmonds, Mikheyev, Nylander and Lehtonen on your team

Work ethic was not the issue. Sub-par finishing and too much setup didn't help Toronto during most of the game.

wasnt much that more like Edmonton got helped with that Kahun trip call on Muzzin lul. Yamamoto got away with tripping his own teamate lul and u could see it in his face Still though we dont know what would have happened if that penalty was never called but meh it really helped Edmonton thats for sure.

Gee, if you wanna troll get your facts straight. Vesey wasn't a Sabre reject.

That was a horrid call on Muzzin as the boys said above which led to the Oiler winning PP goal. Then three minutes later, Muzzin is kneed carrying the puck....no call.
I didn't see all the game...playing cards. but geez the game seemed to be in slow motion

Lmao, Vesey is a Sabres reject, and everyone knows this outside of Leafs land. Boo hoo, teams get bad calls all the time. Scared to admit that the Habs are a more complete team than the Leafs? Not that hard at all if I'm being honest

honestly the NHL should allow for calls to be challenged and if successful no penalty but if not the team loses its time out like how the NBA does it.

kind of like how u can challenge a goal and if successful no goal and if not u get a penalty

Sorry troll. Nashville drafted Vesey. Vesey wasn't signing with Nashville so he could be a UFA on August 1. Buffalo paid Nashville a third rounder to attempt to sign Vesey before August 1. Vesey didn't sign with Sabres and became a UFA and signed with the Rangers. Vesey rejected the Sabres and 29 other teams, Sabres didn't reject Vesey. Gee, first you critique players play when you don't even watch the games, and then you are this site and criticize other for knowing facts about signings and trades. Stay with analyzing the Habs which might be the only team you watch.

Until Nylander goes, Leafs aren't making the playoffs
