Game 7: Capitals @ Leafs 7:00PM Sportsnet Ontario

[Kessel Run]

New computer, when I post how did I get it to go back to the thread instead of the board afterwards? It's been awhile.

The replay makes it look even worse, that has to be a save by any NHL goalie.

been a while since the leafs have had an nhl goalie

Wow Phaneuf has quite a shot, which is never anywhere near the net.

 

[azzurri63]

Mullen "Phaneuf needs to start hitting the net". LOL.

 

[Kin]

The Leafs are not generating a ton of offense from the point on their power plays.

 

[pnjunction]

Well at least Reimer made the save after giving it away...  :-[

 

[azzurri63]

Millen I mean

 

[ZBBM]

Their captain rifles a goal 5-hole on our keeper.

OUR captain misses the goal by a country mile and then gets knocked on his ass by Joey "The Beast" Crabb.

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

can we try something other than the top line on the powerplay?

Bozak does not need 6:47 in PP-TOI when Kadri and Grabovski both have under 2 minutes.

 

[TML fan]

That WAS Ovechkin...but yeeeeahhh Reimer you gotta save that.

oh all right. He doesn't seem to have any trouble hitting a teammate.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

poor freakin' Kessel. He's so snakebit right now, Indiana Jones had it easy by comparison.

 

[Justin]

The puck-over-the-glass penalty is the ultimate love-hate relationship in hockey.

 

[ZBBM]

I'm not a great fan of Kessel but he's right at the goalmouth on that sequence working hard.  Crazy snakebit.

 

[L K]

Kessel has been playing well and his lack of goalscoring is definitely related to bad luck, but I kind of feel like this forcefeeding him minutes isn't doing the team a service.  Play him constantly when he's scoring because they guy scores at will when he's hot.  I think you need to temper his minutes when he isn't scoring because playing him 26 minutes a game when he isn't scoring doesn't help the team when you have other guys that are producing offensively too.

 

[Justin]

When you have Ryan Hamilton, Mike Kostka, and Tyler Bozak playing on an NHL PP you know there's a problem.

 

[Kin]

Leafs really need to capitalize on these power plays.

And just feeding Phaneuf at the point isn't proving particularly effective.
