Another penalty kill

and looks like Bogosian's shoulder is gone.

Well I guess New Jersey is on their "never lose in the 2nd half" thing again.

Wish he had our uniform on. Would fit right in with this team. Good skater.

i can't even complain about that goal, Bryan Little is my favourite non-Leaf player

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

I hope people are going to rip Franson for being beat like they did Schenn. 

 

[TML fan]

Crap

Lombardi lost his man a bit there, but Franson was out of position from the start. Good initial save by Goose there though.

My OT loss prediction might be on tonight.

Get caught flat footed going to happen all the time.

Yep, the Leafs D has been caught flat footed way too much.  Schenn is legitimately slow, I actually blame Franson there more because he's more mobile and shouldn't get beat wide. 

It would be nice if Lombardi stuck closer to his man and was actually in position to try and lift Wheeler's stick too.

 

[Erndog]

Great, now tomorrow we're going to have to hear from guys like Doug McLean that the book is out on the Leafs D and to drive them wide with speed and to cut in.

He was up too far though and didn't even look for his man until the pass was by him.

You mean, the same way you beat pretty much all teams on the backend?

Oh I will I will!! PYLON! And then stand beside the net and watch everything else 
That work?

But sometimes, as you see with the Leafs speed, sometimes some players are just faster than others, no matter what they do.  I suspect that was a big reason in both plays.

Why isn't fatty playing for Winnipeg tonight ?

Why isn't fatty playing for Winnipeg tonight ?

Flu-like symptoms - AKA indigestion.

Also - if you score more goals than the Leafs, you have a good chance to beat them.
