Bit of an unfortunate bounce off a Leafs’ skate right to Tatar, who was all alone at the side of a wide open net. > Tomas Tatar scores > > Assist right off Galchenyuk's skate [pic.twitter.com/Ica9v1ut65](https://t.co/Ica9v1ut65?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 12, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381746909832970240?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) The Leafs’ top line came back with a really good chance. > Galchenyuk takes the hit to advance the puck to Marner off the give-and-go [pic.twitter.com/qEWGBV0boK](https://t.co/qEWGBV0boK?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 12, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381747690183266308?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Our young smol wonderboy trying to make his mark in the NHL. > Slightly wobbly but good rush up the ice by Robertson > > Takes a hit along the way and nearly gets a chance on net [pic.twitter.com/RFkls5CIb0](https://t.co/RFkls5CIb0?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 12, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381748230862602246?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) ### GOAL: Oh, so that’s what a powerplay goal for looks like. 2-0 Habs. > Nick Suzuki scores on the PP [pic.twitter.com/oCIdcZjddc](https://t.co/oCIdcZjddc?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 12, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381749824979148808?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong so far. > Leafs called for too many men [pic.twitter.com/KvJSJzNE5D](https://t.co/KvJSJzNE5D?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 12, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381750521866940420?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) ### First Period Thoughts **Offense**: It was a poor period all around. They didn’t get bounces, they didn’t get powerplays, and they didn’t play well. They only had 8 shot attempts, 3 shots on goal, and one good scoring chance. **Defense**: Montreal, on the other hand, had 25 shot attempts, 12 shots on net, and 6 scoring chances. It resulted in 79% expected goal share for Montreal. **Special Teams**: No powerplays, and allowed a powerplay goal by Montreal. Not great. **Heatmap**: ## PERIOD TWO More shots please. > Robertson gets the Leafs first shot in a while [pic.twitter.com/imD9KxNkEk](https://t.co/imD9KxNkEk?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 13, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381759681761271809?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) That’s the stuff! > Heads-up play by Tavares to pick up the puck > > Hyman can't get all of the shot [pic.twitter.com/0oS4kiLSbd](https://t.co/0oS4kiLSbd?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 13, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381760798373113866?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) ### GOAL: Marner sets up Matthews for a beautiful goal. 2-1 Habs. > What a pass by Marner > > Sets Matthews up for the deflection [pic.twitter.com/DwtAhLXqYa](https://t.co/DwtAhLXqYa?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 13, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381762917297717259?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) ### GOAL: John Tavares creates goals from chaos. 2-2 tie game! > Chaotic mess but the goal makes it worth it [pic.twitter.com/3jCRMPLh8z](https://t.co/3jCRMPLh8z?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 13, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381766125986312194?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) ### GOAL: By law, Josh Anderson scores against the Leafs. 3-2 Habs. > Josh Anderson gets the lead again [pic.twitter.com/mwA0ntmEYb](https://t.co/mwA0ntmEYb?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 13, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381766993146171392?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Matthews still hunting for more goals. > Matthews and Marner looking for tying goal [pic.twitter.com/2c1yK2fIDU](https://t.co/2c1yK2fIDU?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 13, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381767610526744577?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) ### Second Period Thoughts **Offense**: Much better period. The Leafs had 25 shot attempts, 13 shots on goal, and 8 scoring chances. **Defense**: It was a better but just okay period for defense. They gave up 14 shot attempts, 7 shots on goal, and 6 scoring chances. That’s as many scoring chances against as they gave up last period. **Special Teams**: They had one powerplay that didn’t score. And water is wet. **Heatmap**: ## PERIOD THREE Thank you Jack. > Campbell bails out Marner [pic.twitter.com/Iq0xVw3oli](https://t.co/Iq0xVw3oli?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 13, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381777367820075010?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Thank you Campbell x2 > Holy Jack Campbell [pic.twitter.com/w07Fh1IFFT](https://t.co/w07Fh1IFFT?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 13, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381778058219302914?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) ### GOAL: Habs score an empty net goal. 4-2 Habs. > Tatar empty-netter [pic.twitter.com/gIwE3dGgoZ](https://t.co/gIwE3dGgoZ?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 13, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1381780285432430592?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) ### Third Period Thoughts **Offense**: The Leafs generated almost no offense at all this period. **Defense**: They didn’t give up much on defense either, but the offense was a problem. They only had 3% of the expected goal share with less than 4 minutes in the period. **Special Teams**: Another powerplay chance, another zero goals. **Heatmap**:
