Game 50: Leafs @ Pens, 7:00pm

And that's what happens when you coach your team to stop playing and protect a lead. Horrible they don't deserve to win I hate to say.

I wasn't aware they were coaching them that, which practice did you attend?

 

[Strangelove]

That's twice in a row it's been tied up in the final minute.  Something is wrong defensively.

Yes, because a couple of fortunate bounces for the other teams is clearly an indication of something wrong defensively.

The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th goals in the final 10 mins were all due to fortunate bounces?

And while it's a moot point, there was a blatant goal left behind in the 1st period because the Lee is a terrible ref.

 

[Strangelove]

Also, there may be something to the fact that Phaneuf was on for all of them.  He's been a bit of an idiot defensively tonight.

 

[4th Liner]

Bah, just like the Islanders game let's shake it off and grab the two points.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Unbelievable....

Well maybe.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Every time this happens they're killing it off fine.  The other team has no pressure then gets one bounce with under 10 seconds.

 

[Palmateer29]

Fleury?? He hasn't been great at all - pure luck and some bad calls are the only reason the Pens are tied..,

He has made some nice saves on breakaways and a nice glove save on Kessel but lots of luck as well. On the good side we haven't given up a softee

Actually the 2nd goal was from Jake Gardiner falling over, so it was pretty fortunate.

We stink, dudes.

Yeah. The 3rd goal is the only one I'd really attribute directly to defensive issues.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Can somebody hit Sullivan already? They just let the guy skate around the boards like crazy.

I don't agree entirely but there's more truth there then you're admitting. The bounces were lucky, yes, but in both games the Leafs had a one goal lead and got bottled up in their own zone. Bad bounces tend not to happen if you can clear the puck.

 

[Capn_Crunch]

Can't help but think about how much that disallowed goal means to us now...

Game would be over now.... sigh

 

[L K]

Did you know that this is the greatest 4 goal (well, 5) goaltending performance ever?  Also, Gustavsson is just praying in net because he's awful.

 

[TML fan]

*shakes head*

 

[lc9]

Oh geez Kessel.

 

[bakeapples]

Kessel shootin blanks!

 

[bustaheims]

If that pucks doesn't bounce off Kessel's stick . . .
