Game 44: NYR @ TOR - Jan. 14 - 7:00pm - CBC

[Bender]

Franson is a fucking idiot.

 

[Propellertop]

Well. You can say he was screened but it was a pretty weak shot. :/

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

I would like us to score on a little wrist shot from top of the circle one of these days.

 

[Bender]

Well. You can say he was screened but it was a pretty weak shot. :/

Does it matter when the guy you're being screened by kicks out his leg? What a disorienting play.

 

[Strangelove]

Well. You can say he was screened but it was a pretty weak shot. :/

He didn't have a hope in hell with Franson doing what he was doing.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Franson is a friging idiot.

It was deflected first right in front of the shot. Not sure it hit Franson (I know he tried to block it).

 

[azzurri63]

Good thing none of the Armed Forces fans had to pay to watch this lacklustre performance. Rangers haven't impressed me either tonight but they are on the road.

 

[ZBBM]

The main thing now is to stay patient and not take chances yet. 

 

[maplesyrup]

Franson is a friging idiot.

There? Maybe. Overall? I'm really starting to like him.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Healy sort of said something positive about the Leafs, but it was disguised as praise of Gustavsson's pads.

 

[drummond]

I know it back-to-back game but 12 shots in 40 minutes 

 

[Mikhail Bloodnovsky]

Doesn't look good. 1-16-4 losing after two periods? It's as good as done.

 

[Arn]

I wonder if you could package MacArthur and one of the DMen (Aulie? Holzer?) for something good?

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

I think this is one of those games, where the Rangers game plan is working. This is a first place club, I can't see too many glaring mistakes in the Leafs game. Komisarek made a poor choice early on, but the Leafs are playing hard IMO.

The Rangers certainly aren't giving the Leafs top line much room..

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

I know it back-to-back game but 12 shots in 40 minutes 

That sounds wrong, I swear they had about 10 that period.  But maybe not.

 

[Erndog]

They look terrible tonight

 

[L K]

These are the best hotstoves.  The ones where Mike Millbury questions trades and how bad the return was. 

 

[leafplasma]

I wonder if you could package MacArthur and one of the DMen (Aulie? Holzer?) for something good?

Nope 

 

[azzurri63]

They look terrible tonight

I agree but I know myself can't speak for everyone else I think I expect too much from these guys game in game out. I understand not winning every game but performances like this I just find unexceptable. If I was there watching and had to pay top dollar I would be extremely disappointed. Let's hope they have a hell of a 3rd period and at least get a point outta this I would be happy with that.

 

[Newbury]

They look terrible tonight

Kessel and Lupul in particular have done nothing all game.
