Avalanche @ Leafs - Oct. 8th, 7:00pm - TSN, SN 590

[TML fan]

Just nothing going on. Get some momentum from a power play and immediately kill it with a stupid penalty.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Is it legal for them to knock off the net like that?

No, but ref has to think it was intentional.

A minor penalty shall be imposed on any player who delays the game by deliberately displacing a goal post from its normal position. The Referee shall stop play immediately when the offending team gains possession of the puck.

 

[L K]

Just so we are clear, there is only one Leaf who is >50% on the draw tonight. 

 

[Beowulf]

Put Kadri with Kessel and JVR, this is sad.

It's amazing that Kadri is the only player on the team who faced repercussions when he isn't creating chances. Lupul-Bolland-Raymond has been pretty unimpressive tonight, and it's almost comical how every blown chance by the top line can be attributed to Bozak in one way or another.

Remember that one shift in the first where in a middle of a line change Kadri was with Lupul and Kadri made a great pass to Lups and they almost scored? Yeah.

He was actually out with Lupul and Kessel somehow on that play. It was glorious.

Ah nice, forgot who the 3rd guy was. Good times.

 

[ZBBM]

That 18 mins w/o a shot was a killer.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Just so we are clear, there is only one Leaf who is >50% on the draw tonight. 

That's all Orr.

Well then they put put on a pretty good act, it looked pretty blatant to me.

Just so we are clear, there is only one Leaf who is >50% on the draw tonight. 

That's all Orr.

Also of note, he's >50% on the year on the faceoff circle. 

 

[Beowulf]

Just so we are clear, there is only one Leaf who is >50% on the draw tonight. 

That's all Orr.

Agreed, he intimidates the Avs faceoff men into letting Kadri win it.

Obviously you can live with turnovers that lead to goals because look at all the other things he brings to the table.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Kadri and Bolland have been swapped on the lines. With 5 minutes left, that will give Kadri maybe 2 shifts with Lupul and Raymond. If he doesn't tie the game and then score the game winner he's gonna be in trouble.

 

[Beowulf]

So with 4:40 left Carlyle finally switches Kadri...better late than never, I guess...

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Keep throwin' Orr out there with this much time left.

 

[Strangelove]

Whatever he does, Randy better not break up first line, which has been a juggernaut five on five all year.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Does anyone here see a higher than 5% chance we will score?

 

[L K]

Errr Lupul Bolland Raymond out again. So Kadri failed to score on 1 shift and is done.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Lupul-Kadri-Raymond lasts two shifts before Randy puts Bolland back there.

There are no words.

Nope, Bolland is back. Need that offense.

 

[L K]

"Bozak chopped it wide" 

 

[Strangelove]

Lupul-Kadri-Raymond lasts two shifts before Randy puts Bolland back there.

There are no words.

We are literally talking about the team's leading scorer last year. On what other team would this fly?
