[moon111]

Which is more insane, an optimistic Leaf fan or a pessimistic Leaf fan?

Connolly/Kessel... We're basically paying 6.25 mil for 1st line center production. Together, it's not great but not awful.

What?

It's one guy or the other in that spot... Bonnolly. Conzak... Whatever.

Ok... Maybe right now, but it's not like Connolly is going to be injured forever, unless you're a pessimist.

Wow... Did I type Kessel? Sorry. Yeah... What I'm saying is Bozak/Conolly together aren't producing at a terrible rate in that #1 spot.... and 6.25 mil for the two isn't terrible.... Not fantastic either but that's the way I'm looking at it anyway... Sorry for the confusion there.  :-[

Anyone ever get a feed?

I'm debating seeing my wife roll her eyes as I connect the laptop to the tv.

No worries, you're still ahead of Rick Perry.

One thing I noticed on the PP in the first period is how much better Kessel is in that half-board spot this year.  Maybe it is the Blues weak play but he seems much better at moving up and down and making passes to avoid getting hemmed in.  I remember many of us groaning about how useless he has been there in the past.

 

[Deebo]

That was a terrible decision by Kulemin, carrying the puck right up the middle like that.

Yeah that was pretty crazy.

Scrivens didn't stop competing on that play.  He went down and the players knocked him farther back, he couldn't really grab the puck.

 

[maplesyrup]

Nice poke by Scrivens there.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Didn't even realize Arnott was playing.

 

[Jeremiad]

Scrivens recognizing his defense has yet to appear in the 2nd period and takes matters into his own hands.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Nice poke by Scrivens there.

Ferraro seems to think he just lies there.

Ferraro seems to think he just lies there.

He also keeps saying that he is too active and slides around.  Has he ever watched Gustavsson play?

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Didn't even realize Arnott was playing.

He signed in St. Louis to have a shot at competing.

So he's too active and too lazy. Gotcha.

Yeah I don't get it.  What was he supposed to do on that play.  Gunnarsson shot him back toward the net.  Was he supposed to stand up and just expose the bottom half of the net when the puck 10 feet from the crease?

Defensive coverage breaking down a little in the 2nd.
