Flyers @ Leafs - Apr. 19th, 7:00pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

Not sure I follow Ray's logic there.  Why wouldn't home ice advantage matter every year in the playoffs?

Didn't he say it did? Did I misunderstand him?

I heard him say "Some years it [home ice] doesn't matter.  This year it does."

Now, even if I got it backwards, the question remains the same: why would it ever not matter to have home ice?  I mean, sure, under covid when there's nobody there.  But in normal times, it always matters.  Doesn't mean it always translates into winning, of course.

 

[ZBBM]

I rewound it to listen to it again. He said it will matter in his eyes this year, some years it doesn't. Ya not sure. I agree with you ZBBM always good to have it.

Ok thanks for the affirmation Azzurri.  I'm losing it, let's be very clear, but I haven't totally lost it.  Yet.  8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) :-*

 

[herman]

That?s a very nice shot

 

[ZBBM]

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLILY

 

[ZBBM]

Campbell's helping them stay ahead.  Best Leaf so far.

And another good stop.

 

[herman]

Leafs helping Philly look good.
Philly making Campbell look good.

 

[ZBBM]

Jimmy Van Crashbang.  Still pretty effective.

I always liked JVR.

 

[L K]

Classic JVR scoring just under the bar.

Lyubushkin having a bad game.  Campbell giving up the rebound there created problems

Shots are 26-16.  Better show up in the 3rd and turn the jets on

Kampf pretty soft in front. My pet peeve watching players bang away at the puck in the crease untouched.

Not saying he's been great but I put that last goal more on Rielly who put him in a panic position with that pass.

 

[ZBBM]

Lyubushkin's whiff ruins the game of keepaway the Leafs were playing on that exhausted Philly line.

 

[ZBBM]

I love Spezza but he is not adding any value right now.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Nice goal...Willy

 

[ZBBM]

Nice feed to WILLY

[Bullfrog]

When Keefe was asked about Jack's health he said he seemed to insinuate that he is not at 100% but was as good as he could be health wise for the playoffs.  I though that was a bit bizarre, so why not give Kallgren tonights start?

Needs reps?.or he has a problem that needs minor surgery and is manageable but is more of an off-season thing because it?s a 4-6 week recovery kind of thing

He might also be functionally dead; who can know for sure?

 

[ZBBM]

OK Azzurri, which is it:

Abruzay-say

or

Abruzee-see

 

[Bullfrog]

Beauty of a goal from Nylander; all-around a decent powerplay.

 

[Bender]

Omg that was amazing
