Game 78: Goons @ Maple Leafs, 7:00pm, Does anyone still care?

[Arn]

Well, that was probably one of the easiest goals Simmonds will ever score in the NHL

I like a big goalie like Rynnas.  Really hope he can develop.

 

[TML fan]

They really just never shoot the puck anymore.

 

[Arn]

So what are the top 5 in the draft like this year? Any more Stamkos or Tavares types?

And that's enough of that.

Sorry to make you do research, but I don't know enough about the players to comment.  ;D

From what I've heard, I'd like to end up with Grigorenko or Galchenyuk.

 

[Arn]

I like the look of this Grigorenko guy already. Maybe if we make a team full of Mikhails we'll do ok based on Grabovski.

Ha, great minds Deebo!

Isles are up 3-1 on Pittsburgh at the end of 2.

If they are going to tank, at least goon it up a little and take a few punks from the opposing teams with them.  (I'm looking at you Hartnell)

 

[ZBBM]

God do we suck.

On the bright side I'm listening to the game on my iPhone while on an Amtrak train going from NY to Chicago. The Internet really is pretty damn cool.

 

[Bates]

It's nice to see how tough Hartnell really is when challenged by someone who actually fights.  Clown!!

Why would he fight Brown?

 

[Bates]

The same reason he would be more than willing to fight Pheneuf or Schenn if they were asking.  He gets involved in crap all night long and answers the bell when it benefits him.

 

[ZBBM]

This really is indistinguishable from an intentional tank, isn't it?

 

[BermudaBudsFan]

The tank is in full force.  My concern though is how this mess will inevitably leak into next season (although I expect a lotto the players to be gone) and how it seems they are having trouble with transition in the new system.

Armstrong has played 2:08 through 2 periods.
