Game 3: Leafs at Penguins - TSN 7:00 PM

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Kulemin a beast so far.

His skating is top notch right now.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

We may need to organize a suicide watch for LHF.

no, I think Witness Protection for Phaneuf is more necessary......

On my drive home, I heard Bowen say he took a slash, but that was before anybody here had posted about Phaneuf's shot.

People on Twitter said replay showed an Orpik slash.

When I first heard that I was kinda annoyed - I had read somewhere that the refs were going to be cracking down on slashing. Three games in, an undetected slash puts out one of our best players. Good jorb guys.

Lupul likely broken wrist or broken arm. Thanks Phaneuf. The guy can't hit anything with his shot except one of our star players...

Are you serious?

The way he was holding it, combined with the report. That would be my best guess.

Mark masters reported that Lupul was pretty angry when walking out of the x-ray room.

 

[TML fan]

Phaneuf needs to use a stiffer stick. He has no accuracy because the stick is too whippy, and he's too much of a meathead to realize it.

I meant about actually being upset with Phaneuf.

How on earth do you know what causes his shot to be accurate or not?

Yeah, why not? He's an idiot. He just wildly winds up with his teammates standing in front. He has no idea where his shot is going and he does it anyway.

Was that shot even going wide?

And so the Leafs should get more traffic on goalies but shouldn't wind up from the point?

And nice to call him an idiot, too.  Classy as always.

JvR and Kulemin have been awesome tonight. Haven't seen Kulemin use his speed like he has in a long while.

Experience and coaching. How would you know?

 

[BermudaBudsFan]

Just came on -- Lupul broken arm confirmed?

How many years have you coached Phaneuf?  Which stick does he use exactly?

I'm not claiming to know.  I'm questioning how you know.

Do you often call the players you coach idiots?

Yeah, he's explosive tonight, it's fun to watch.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

Just came on -- Lupul broken arm confirmed?

not yet.

But LHF heart broken, confirmed.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Matt Frattin just heard the news, he's packing now.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Not surprising but just to confirm:

@DavidAlter590: Joffrey Lupul will not return (upper body injury) #Leafs

 

[bustaheims]

markhmasters: Leafs confirm Lupul won't return
