Leafs @ Avalanche - Jan. 21st, 9:00pm - SN, TSN 1050

[Arn]

That's the Hail Mary anyway!

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Kessel best.

 

[bustaheims]

Kessel best.

Raymond worst. Holding penalty 200 feet from his own net.

 

[Arn]

Who starts our 4th line in our own end???

May as we'll start them there and cut out the hassle of them having to work their way back from another zone

 

[Sudafederov]

Tal BOT

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Only Tavares (15) has more points in January than Kessel (14).

 

[ZBBM]

This period is ur-Carlyle.

 

[Arn]

14 minutes gone, 11-2 shots in favour of Colorado, leafs lead 1-0 ;D

 

[bustaheims]

The Leafs have had 2 real quality scoring chances so far. Both because of Kessel.

 

[ZBBM]

Tipper van Riemsdyk strikes again.

Watching this game on the Colorado feed. Their trivia question of the game was: what year did the Leafs last win the Stanley Cup?

Does that even qualify as 'trivia' anymore?

Really?

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man

 

[Arn]

Corsi schmorsi

 

[ZBBM]

Now, THAT was some good backchecking by Kessel to set that up.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Nice shot by Franson, JVR in front as usual.

 

[bustaheims]

Leafs are lucky they're able to capitalize on the few chances they've generated and that they've received excellent goaltending. Not a pretty period, but, the Leafs manage to escape with a 2 goal lead.

 

[ZBBM]

Oh man, that would have been nice.

 

[Stickytape]

This team makes me feel like I don't understand the first thing about how hockey works.

 

[Day Man]

Before last night, I couldn't remember the last time the leafs had a 2-0 lead in a game.  Now they've done it again!

Really good result considering how one-sided the first 10 minutes were.
