Leafs @ Blues - Dec. 12th, 8:00pm - LeafsTV, SN 590

[Strangelove]

It takes some kind of coach to look at Fraser and Ranger and not only put them in the line-up but play them together.  Randy thinks on another level.

Nice shot by Kadri.

 

[Beowulf]

Well there is still well more than half the game to go. Take that as you will :-\

 

[pnjunction]

Ranger and Fraser awful again there.

I think this is the biggest problem besides coaching. I don't think these are NHL calibre defencemen right now in any system. Fraser should give up on playing this season with the knee brace or go to AHL he's awful.

 

[Kin]

Well, at least it's not a shut out.

Phil Kessel! PPG!

 

[Stronger Than All]

Glad the leafs scored before I realized at Louis had a 4th

 

[Deebo]

If my name was Dion Phaneuf, I'd be testing the market.

 

[Strangelove]

Man Ranger and Fraser can't even handle a two on two without giving up a good chance.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

If/when they lose they'll be on pace for 87 points.

 

[Kin]

Well, on the bright side, it hasn't been a great couple of games for the "Phaneuf is irreplaceable" crowd.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

If my name was Dion Phaneuf, I'd be testing the market.

You sure notice him missing tonight.

 

[bustaheims]

David Clarkson! Intangibles! Elbows to the head!

 

[Beowulf]

What was that Clarkson?

 

[ZBBM]

Ranger and Fraser awful again there.

I think this is the biggest problem besides coaching. I don't think these are NHL calibre defencemen right now in any system. Fraser should give up on playing this season with the knee brace or go to AHL he's awful.

Ranger was a good experiment, but it didn't work out.  Neither he or Fraser are part of this team's future.  Why the hell isn't Liles playing over them.  Dump them both and bring up Brennan or Holzer and let him play with Liles.  Jesus.

 

[bustaheims]

If my name was Dion Phaneuf, I'd be testing the market.

If my name was Dave Nonis, I'd be starting to see what teams are willing to give up to get him as a rental.

 

[Redleaf]

All they needed to do in the offseason was to stay the course and beef up the defense.

 

[Kin]

If my name was Dion Phaneuf, I'd be testing the market.

You sure notice him missing tonight.

You might, anyway, if this weren't more or less how they played with him in the line-up for the last 6 weeks.

 

[Bullfrog]

To know that some of you watch the Leafs religiously.... I don't know how you do it.

I watch the Leafs religiously in the sense that I really only do it out of tradition and I don't really believe in them anymore.

I do it for the social aspect of things.

 

[ZBBM]

There Clarkson stood in the middle of the ice on that sequence, not blocking shots, not taking a man, not doing anything.

 

[Kin]

I do it for the social aspect of things.

And the gift giving holidays.

 

[Beowulf]

McLaren with Kessel?

Or my bad it was just mid-change I guess?
