Devils @ Leafs - Jan. 12th, 7:00pm - LeafsTV, SN 590

[iwas11in67]

Devils played yesterday while Leafs chilling at home. Sounds like another easy win tonight! (For NJ)

I'm not sure why, but I feel a win tonight. This hasn't happened lately, so maybe?

Very weird. Because this is how I felt today as well. Can't explain it.

Sounds like the flu was what kept a lot of guys off the ice today. #Leafs

Bozak, Fraser, Gleason, D'Amigo, Kadri, and Reimer all missed practice.

These guys couldn't have hung around McClement a bit more?

He probably put something in their food. Enter the new top line centre.

I'm in full lottery mode, but I'd like to see an exciting game.

Unfortunately whenever I've watched a Leafs/Jersey game, its been dull as dishwater.

Can someone explain to me why McClement gets ragged on so much? I mean, I get that he's played more than he should but do we expect him to speak up and say, "you know coach, I'd be much more comfortable playing 5 minutes a night"

Atta think outside the box and change things up Carlyle.

I supported him for a long time....But the fact he has yet to make any out of left field moves to try and correct this team's issues is extremely frustrating

the only thing I would change other then the fourth line would be Gardiner and Reilly, I would prefer a defensive d-man with them. Play them together on the PP.

Never mind out of left field changes - any changes would be nice. If it wasn't for the fact that Bozak being healthy forced him to shuffle things up a little down the middle, we may not have seen any changes to the forwards at all. Same with Liles being traded for Gleason. The only changes he's made and stuck with for more than one game have virtually been forced upon him (and even the changes he did make voluntarily were really substituting one guy who was scratched into the spot of a guy who would usually play).

These guys are just so bad on the boards and loose pucks. That's on the players, nothing else.

 

[Stickytape]

God, the MSG stream is just endless dumping on the Leafs.  The commentators aren't really wrong about any of it, but good lord, please spend SOME time commenting on the game while it's being played.

P.S. These two teams are tied in points.

Leafs take advantage of the other team's defensive mishaps. Who'd-a thunk it?

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Well, that's positive.

 

[drummond]

Bozie scores, but great work by JvR

 

[L K]

The first line caused mayhem and then scored a score.  Very nice shift.

It's mostly on the players, but part of it is due to how generally disorganized they are, and that's on the coaching staff.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

well, that was a bad call.
