Game 64: Maple Leafs @ Blackhawks 8:00pm - Another road loss ?

[L K]

We've allowed the most goals in the East right?

Tampa has given about about 15 more, but 2nd last in the East.  3rd last in the NHL.

Hey let's let Hossa take the puck right through the slot

Was that Gunnar that went right by him? Looks like he could've levelled him there if he'd taken the body, which I would think is the better option on Hossa for most d-men.

 

[ZBBM]

So I take it Gus has not been stellar?

Same problems as always. Questionable defence, giveaways, and not getting the big save. 1st goal probably should have been stopped. Rest are on the defence.

Thanks.  Oy.

we'll be there soon enough ...guess i should start paying attention to who's going first in the draft

Don't understand how Kane can out-muscle anybody. The defence and toughness on this team is non-existent. Nobody takes the body in front. Guys standing in that area should be flat out crushed. Take the penalty if you have to. Players will think twice going in there the next time.

 

[TML fan]

Gunnarsson has had a terrible game. I'm not surprised he didn't take the man.

The Leafs are a horribly soft team. They make the Canadian Womans team look like the Flyers of the 70s.

Thanks.  Oy.

And, just to be clear, when I say defence, I mean team defence, not specifically the blueline.

Schenn has been terrible lately, but at least he cares.  good tilt.  Most of his teammates don't care and his coach doesn't.

 

[Derk]

Schenn started off that fight okay, but took a few pops at the end. Meh.

Frattin, I think, not Gunnar.

 

[Derk]

Ah, Bozak was open in front, Kessel couldn't get the pass to him.

Yes, I just quickly went through the GDT and got the gist.  Blah.

I want Ken Hitchcock.

 

[bustaheims]

I want Ken Hitchcock.

I doubt St Louis is willing to let him go.

 

[L K]

Are You Not Entertained?

I'll take winning with a little more defensive effort than this garbage.

To think a goaltending change after a crappy start can spark a team

Leafs trying hard to give up another

 

[Derk]

Didn't get a look at the replay, but why wasn't that a trip? It directly led to that 2 on 1.

 

[Bullfrog]

That Hossa guy's pretty good.

 

[ZBBM]

Jim Ralph just mentioned that when the Blackhawks are leading after 2, they haven't lost since 1937.
