Yeah, that was a combination of horrible decision making with terrible execution by Detroit. There was also some really good play by Ottawa of course – our gap control was particularly good, which snuffed out pretty much every transition opportunity for the Red Wings.
And this is why I completely and unequivocally support the Leafs in their honouring of numbers, but not retiring of numbers. Anyone can still wear number 13 or 14 or 21 or 27 or 30 or 93 or … etc.
ETA: They have retired Ace Bailey and Bill Barilko, but for exceptional circumstances.
I know nothing about mumps. Weren’t we all vaccinated against mumps? These guys born in 1980, and 1985 seem too old to have been involved in the anti-vax scare. Weird.
I really need to watch a Winnipeg Jets game. I know every season has a team that starts off hot, but they seem to be quite an interesting team with good goaltending for a change.
