from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,
They outshot the Predators 46-23, but couldn’t beat backup Juuse Saros even once. Kind of like the other night in Toronto, where they walked the Maple Leafs all night long and watched backup Curtis McElhinney stop all 41 shots they fired in a 1-0 loss.
“I’ve been around the game for a long time now, and it’s a weird, weird game,” began Maroon, in a post-game address that had a scent of Phil Esposito back in ‘72. “You’re going to go through times where you shouldn’t win, but you do. And you’re going to go through times when you should have won by a lot and don’t win.
“Let’s put it this way: They had eight shots on net,” and a 3-0 lead late in the second period, Maroon said. “They didn’t have a chance, five-on-five. I couldn’t even tell you to a time where they spent time in our zone, till right at the end of the game.”
