The D decided to each get a goal in rotation so everyone will shut up about this no goals from the defence stuff. > OLIVER EKMAN-LARSSON 🚨 > > One-handed poke with precision [pic.twitter.com/PuR05Lppk1](https://t.co/PuR05Lppk1?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1876067053670736280?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Garnet Hathaway took a bit of a run at Hildeby and Jake McCabe wanted to make sure he knows he can't do that. McCabe came out of it possibly concussed. > the full incident between McCabe and Hathaway [pic.twitter.com/EKfxkd8SKw](https://t.co/EKfxkd8SKw?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1876067952954642656?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) The ref was standing right there and did not blow the whistle until McCabe hit the ice. Bit of kick there from Hathaway, too. Not sure a whistle would have ended that sooner, but it's no time for slackness or indecision. After one it was 2-1 Leafs. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/2025/01/image-2.png) ### Second Period The penalties at the end of the first were offsetting, but since there were two majors in there, the result was five-on-five (I did not know this.) Jake McCabe did not return to the game. > Tippett is called for hooking [pic.twitter.com/Q5mscU4hmJ](https://t.co/Q5mscU4hmJ?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1876073809176043810?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Ivan Fedotov was not required to make a save on the Leafs power play. > Berube isn't liking what he's seeing [pic.twitter.com/5yOCetmN3i](https://t.co/5yOCetmN3i?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1876076470109618484?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) He's not wrong. > Knies is called for tripping [pic.twitter.com/wnbrtZlX7H](https://t.co/wnbrtZlX7H?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1876076605245907425?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Hard on the successful PK: > Scott Laughton ties it [pic.twitter.com/a9g3DhT3j3](https://t.co/a9g3DhT3j3?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1876077517117047295?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) David Kämpf went off for holding, so the Flyers got another try at this power play thing. > Kampf is called for holding [pic.twitter.com/6dHrBk2Tqg](https://t.co/6dHrBk2Tqg?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1876080712555860203?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Hildeby was not stressed much. After two it was two goals all, and that period felt very dull and tired. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/2025/01/Capture-1.PNG) Yeah, a lot of flat line there. ### Third Period Max Pacioretty with a hit that caused the entire Flyers team to try to mug him. William Nylander had the puck and no defenders, but he lost the puck. > another big hit from Pacioretty [pic.twitter.com/RhMhzHbaQ8](https://t.co/RhMhzHbaQ8?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1876088501718175805?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > leads right to a chance for Nylander but he loses the puck [pic.twitter.com/ZYmwSDpOV8](https://t.co/ZYmwSDpOV8?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1876088763186827365?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Max Domi with the chicken wing. He didn't get away with it this time like he did last game. > Domi to the box for elbowing on Hathaway [pic.twitter.com/SdV8kVRTHa](https://t.co/SdV8kVRTHa?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1876089370660474907?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Mitch Marner with an amazing little bit of puck control and Hildeby with one good save and the PK was successful again. > Marner dekes through the Flyers' power play and goes for another between-the-legs shot [pic.twitter.com/hByMog0z2g](https://t.co/hByMog0z2g?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1876089580912513111?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) With six minutes to go, the game had bogged down into board battle - transition - board battle - transition. > York stops a potential beauty for Knies [pic.twitter.com/vYwiUnWN9E](https://t.co/vYwiUnWN9E?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1876094052355146072?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > lol [pic.twitter.com/CtgxHfaXi7](https://t.co/CtgxHfaXi7?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1876095120816415005?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) As seemed destined very early in the second period, this game went to overtime. Matthews played the same number of minutes as his linemates in this game. ### Overtime Hildeby in beast mode after a Flyers flurry. Beauty from Morgan Rielly as Matthews was in the right spot to forward a long pass out of the Leafs end. Leafs win! Hildeby was very much there when needed all game long. Next game is Tuesday on the road against the Flyers, see you then.
