leafs are playing like crap

Is it just me or does Kessel seem completely uninterested.

Already missing Brown on fourth line. We put 3 stiffs who can't skate out there.  So much for Orrs improved skating, he has looked like his old self again lately.

I doubt I'm the first to say that his complete lack of aggression and physical play is probably a big part of why he goes on such epic slumps.

Look at tonight if one of his two shots goes in it's all good, but once those have missed there's little else there.

It's just you, he's been one of the few getting any kind of offensive chances tonight.

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man!

 

[lc9]

Thats how you start the third.  All tied up!

Some redemption for the 4th line!!!  Huge five hole he was smart to aim for it!

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Well that's a good start! Good for McClement, one of the hardest workers in a tough PK role, nice to see him get rewarded.

McClement is on Grabovski's line tonight.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Well, my stream is at least 2 minutes behind.

I agree he has had a few chances, but he does look rather disinterested.

Oops...and it didn't go 5-hole either...

I blame my crappy stream but who cares, go leafs.

I think others have done the work/comparisons before, but I am pretty sure it was shown that his scoring slumps aren't any longer than most other snipers.  It's probably more likely due to having to play with a 3rd line centre for 3 seasons.

Fraser makes that guy pay for crashing our net...love it
