I can’t be the only person that’s a mixture of confused and angry with this team all of a sudden flipping the switch. I don’t know what has happened aside from Graves, Nieto, Acciari and Harkins being out for an extended period now but did it take this long for Sullivan to change some serious fundamentals or are the players finally listening to him after largely ignoring him for most of the last 3 seasons? I guess the former is the more attractive option since if Sullivan has really changed his approach and isn’t fired that’s good going forward.

Did Shea play with St Ivany at WBS? Those guys look so reliant and comfortable with each other.

Making a huge difference with the way they are playing.They seem to understand exactly how to handle everything thrown at them.

Need to stay out of the box. Keep the game boring. Dont need the Leafs to start feeling it on the PP.

Same emotions here.Wish I knew..Perhaps pride and accountability has taken over?But this stretch is completely foreign to what has been out there for the better part of those first 70 Games.

I looked back at some of the WBS lineup graphics and they have been paired a lot together.

Don't know how the Refs missed an obvious too many men on the ice call.

The 4th Line out there too long and never could get it clear.
Carter soft on his man in front on the goal.

You knew it was coming. You can't have a 40 year old out there for over 2:00

Sullivan deserves this for dressing Carter night in and night out. He's out there literally for his supposed "defense" and faceoffs. He can't even do those 2 things right.

Only because the Tkachuk’s I’m sure have the same person as their mother and their aunt.

Sullivan is dressing Carter unless he’s hurt.

It’s a shame Ponomarev got hurt or he might be that guy.
