Realistically it's a penalty. Realistically they've let worse infractions go in this game due to the high number of penalties Arizona has already taken - in fact they have actually made up a penalty in this game - but that doesn't change the fact that this team cannot kill a penalty. After the first period they had to know this was coming.

They have a terrible PK system - and it's evidenced by the 22nd overall penalty kill in the league. If you want to be a contender, this PK is more than just your Achilles heel. And it's not really getting better - being 21st overall in February, 18th in January, 25th in December, 12th in November and 26th in October.

It's all over the bad part of the map. This is an area they desperately need to address.

And if we are poop posting this is not even the worst thing about this team. I would have gone with the following list of reasons why this awesome team is poop.

Inconsistent Performance: The Maple Leafs have struggled with consistency, showing flashes of brilliance followed by lackluster performances, leading to frustration among fans.

Defensive Issues: Defensive lapses and inconsistency in the defensive zone have plagued the team, resulting in costly goals against.

Goaltending Concerns: While the goaltending has shown moments of strength, there have also been instances of inconsistency and shaky performances, leading to doubts about the team's goaltending depth.

Lack of Secondary Scoring: The Maple Leafs have relied heavily on their top line for scoring, with a lack of consistent production from secondary scoring lines, putting additional pressure on their top players.

Special Teams Struggles: The team has faced challenges on both the power play and penalty kill, failing to capitalize on opportunities with the man advantage and conceding goals while shorthanded.

Injuries: Like any team, injuries have affected the Maple Leafs' lineup and roster depth, forcing them to adapt and potentially impacting their performance on the ice.

Mental Toughness: There have been instances where the team has struggled to maintain composure in high-pressure situations, leading to costly mistakes and missed opportunities.

Coaching Decisions: Some fans and analysts have questioned certain coaching decisions, including lineup choices, player deployment, and in-game strategies, contributing to the team's challenges this season.

Even without late games it’s not unusual for me to be the 2-3am bedtime type

I’m just not much of a sleeper tbh… sometimes I am but for the most part I’m not. Especially since I gave up coffee tbh.

Checkin in and keepin an eye on the game at least and dont like giving up 3 to Arizona BUT least we are winning and Matthews with a pair and Bobby Mc with a goal and assist too which am loving! Finally someone giving us some needed second line scoring.

Cant take anyone lightly when you are the Leafs though cause we all know how leafy that one goes but.... maybe there is something to all the injuries and the suspension and us using what we have internally and balancing out ice time etc.

Yeah, but if my goalie lets in a straight shot from that far out I am definitely not happy about it.
