Ducks @ Leafs - Mar. 24th, 7:30pm - SNO, Fan 590

[Highlander]

Don't be a Brown noser

 

[Tigger]

The feed I'm watching, in place of commercials, has an old nhl video game playing the Leafs versus Anaheim, Bob Corkum just scored on a penalty shot against Potvin, it's 7-1 Leafs...

 

[L K]

Jeremy Bracco assisted on 3 powerplay goals to help Kitchener to a 5-4 lead in their 1st playoff game.  All three goals came on the same powerplay as Brendan Lemieux got a 5-minute major for slew footing.  The blood of Claude runs strong.

 

[Highlander]

did Nylander get his bell rung?

 

[L K]

That was literally the worst thing I have ever seen.

It was actually consecutive PP goals on 3 separate penalties, Lemieux's being the last, according to the boxscore.  Good to see Lemieux get 5 and a game, though.

Oh dear Jake

5-4...Sparks really hasn't been good in his second go around.

Not watching, what happened??

 

[ZBBM]

Clutch collapse here, friends.

 

[McGarnagle]

Just back from my beer league game, where I scored my first goal in 3.5 years. It was a beauty - as I was falling from being crosschecked in the back, a point shot deflected in off my ass. I believe this is called the "holmstrom maneuver".

Now, to watch real hockey. Hmm, looks like I'm bad luck. It was 4-1 when I left the bar.

Defensive breakdowns and then Sparks just fell down and Anaheim slid the puck in the net

 

[herman]

That was literally the worst thing I have ever seen.

Not watching, what happened??

On the powerplay, Gardiner was resetting in front of Sparks, and Nylander circled down and around him, which confused Gardiner. He was stripped easily by the forechecked who literally threw a backhander randomly behind himself as he was falling down and roofs it over Spark's blocker shoulder.

Lots of bad stuff that undid some really good stuff.

And I don't think it's finished yet

Well described.  The only detail I would add was that Gardiner and Nylander looked like they were trying to re-enact the Grand Pas de Deux from "Swan Lake."

 

[Al14]

Lose this game, lose the lottery, I'm fine with both.  :'(

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

Alright, I can handle all that.  I feared somebody got hurt, especially after the comment about Nylander getting his bell rung.

Ducks on the PP now thanks to a turnover in the D zone, forcing Marincin to make a hold.

Not really noted by the commentators is how Nylander first stripped the puck from the Duck carrier on a great stick check. His reverse pass to Rielly and Marincin caught them both off guard because neither made a move for the puck, which gave the Ducks the puck.
