That was quite deft.

PA Parenteau led the team with 20 goals last year.  Matthews has 15.

PA Parenteau led the team with 20 goals last year.  Matthews has 15.

And that's with a 13-game goalless streak.

 

[disco]

You can see how he reaches out past the puck with one hand and pulls his stick to whack the incoming shot with the heel of his stick and into the corner of the net. Shades of that 2-on-1 where he baseball whacked it out of the air.

Leivo sure can shoot the puck.

 

[Al14]

Leivo sure can shoot the puck.

With no accuracy to speak of.  :

Oh hey, are the Leafs reading this thread?
PP2 running the play through behind the net.

He's got a shot at that other Leaf first-overall pick and his 36 goals freshman year.

The slow-mo is even more impressive.

I really like Uncle Leo a lot but has he regressed vs the rest of the team. 

Maybe I'm just missing it but he doesn't seem to be the pest he was prior. It's not realistic to score like last year but woof!

He hasn't been the same since he got injured about a calendar year ago. I think it was a concussion. A lot of guys are never the same.

He has talked recently about how there is never a day he isn't in pain, I suspect that's worn him down and he's lost a step.

This call against Zaitsev is kind of stupid.

Naturally, it results in a goal.

 

[ZBBM]

Good grief, polakrielly for the goal.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Wow off Polak and then off Rielly. Brutal break.

 

[L K]

Anderson is doomed to never get a shutout with this team.  How do nonsense bounces like that happen.

 

[disco]

Pinballs off Polak's skate and then Rielly's skate and then in the net. It happens.

 

[L K]

Leaf taken down in front of the net, no call.  Right in front of the ref but meh.  Anaheim is just so big and tough.
