Game 61 - Sharks @ Leafs- Feb 23rd, 2012 - 7:00 PM EST - TSN, AM640

[ZBBM]

Nice.  I do like Gardiner, BTW. 

He took something off that -- tipped?

 

[Derk]

Might be off Lupul.

 

[Zee]

Nice shot by Gardiner

 

[Tigger]

we can't win with goaltending like this

:

Can we blame Allaire for the penalty too?

Yeah I don't expect Reimer to ever make a save on a PK, that's crazy talk.

It was tipped, I know that's a difficult concept.

How does that affect the fact that Reimer still stinks?

Because both goals weren't his fault? Pretty simple stuff.

 

[azzurri63]

And the morgue has come to life.

LOL BOTH??  The first goal was GARBAGE he was down way too early.

 

[BrownRolo]

What did Ferraro call the fight? "Punch each other in the face contest?
something like that...I like it.

 

[bustaheims]

Niemi's looked shaky all game, the Leafs just haven't been able to do enough to take advantage of it.

 

[Tigger]

You have an interesting notion of garbage, top shelf, gimme a break.

Even if we disagree on the first one, you were whining and moaning about the second one.

You really surprised? And the reason he was down too early is because that's what he's been taught.

 

[Derk]

Kessel, protect the puck!

Yeah forgive me for wanting a goalie to stand on his head for once when the Leafs need it.

Not many goalies in the league would have done it differently, you're drinking a new form of kool aid.

I believe they're actually drinking the Flavor Aid.

As opposed to yourself absolving Reimer of all goals?  How long before Reimer defenders suggest the first goal was a "defensive breakdown" -- why did they allow a wrist shot??

"We can't win with goaltending like this" isn't a fair characterization of what happened regardless of your hyperbole.

I stand corrected, the 'Hogtown' massacre.

 

[Britishbulldog]

I see the Lupul-Bozak-Kessel line has decided that they don't need to give the defense anything to outlet pass to.  Stop skating up to the blueline and trying to make the defense thread the needed through 3-4 Sharks defenders just to get the puck out of the zone.

That line needs to be broken up IMO.  Their defensive play is a real detriment.

I was wondering if Lupul and Kulemin were switched that the lines might be more balanced.

 

[Bullfrog]

Dustin Brown coming out of Mac's mouth is crazy, just the guy the Leafs need.

When did he say that? That would make me very very very happy.

Right, because I don't call a softie, ever and the Leafs are defensive stalwarts, get a grip.
