Blues @ Leafs - Mar. 25th, 7:00pm - SN, TSN 1050

[Strangelove]

Carlyle's actually rolling 4 lines pretty well so far tonight. Orr still doesn't have a shift though of course.

Is playing McClement a lot supposed to be a positive? That's been one constant throughout this losing streak and since Bolland came back. McClement has seen his icetime rocket up again.  That line is stuck in its own end without fail every time it's out there.

And my god that first line is defensively putrid.

LUPES

Leafs score first? Is that still allowed?

 

[ZBBM]

Nice.

That goal horn at the ACC is ridiculous.

 

[13th fan]

What? we scored first !

 

[drummond]

first great Bernier and than Lups

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Another terrific set-up by Gardiner.

 

[Strangelove]

Surprise, the second line gets a goal when the first one isn't out on the PP for the entire two minutes doing nothing.

The Bozak line should be the second PP unit for a while. They need a wake-up call. Offensively inept and defensively stupid and lazy.

I read this before the feed!!!

We rule man...

 

[ZBBM]

Not a single valuable defensive defenseman in the whole league?

Not one I'd trade Gardiner for, no.

I guess my standards of untouchability are higher.  8)

 

[Bender]

Maybe they didn't like the fact that I compared them to the Denver Broncos!

Just out of curiosity, do you have a defenceman or two in mind that you'd swap Gardiner for?

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Gardiner is just great on the PP.

 

[Strangelove]

McClement on ice, line gets dominated. This is a recording. Cut down their icetime.

Problem is you're still trying to limit Bolland's ice-time. So we essentially have a top-6 and then two 4th line centres. That's why I felt we should have had both of them on the 4th line and Holland still up for the 3rd.
