Leafs @ Blues - Dec. 7th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

[lc9]

Holl turns it over and then takes a penalty. 

 

[Bender]

Is it a hooking call if the hook does nothing to impede the other player?

 

[ZBBM]

I appreciate that Holl was battling there, but still.

 

[Bender]

Looked like interference on Marner there.

 

[lc9]

Another kill.

 

[ZBBM]

PEE KAY
HOO RAY

Nope. 

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Shoot everyone in the face.  Not a bad strategy. 

 

[ZBBM]

Craig is correct.  Hutch is not the answer.  If they can't get someone else try KK again.

 

[ZBBM]

Engvall is rangy.

14 more to go and we should be on the PP for the rest of the game.

 

[ZBBM]

In some ways that period was just as impressive as the first.

 

[lc9]

Good second period.  St Louis came out with the initial push, leafs get a kill and then a PP goal and then settled in.  Extended the lead.  Good game through 40. 

 

[azzurri63]

Good job holding the Blues off to start the period. Knew they were going to come out hard. Keep pushing last period.

 

[Zee]

Well, this is unexpected

 

[disco]

Aside from barricades, what else is needed for the parade?

 

[ZBBM]

NHL's All-Gimmick Weekend.  Can't wait.

 

[Bates]

Aside from barricades, what else is needed for the parade?

According to every writer, announcer, analyst,  and fan definitely a backup goalie!!!

 

[ZBBM]

Hey Kelly.  That was actually good stuff.

 

[Hobbes]

NHL's All-Gimmick Weekend.  Can't wait.

The problem with the ASG is it doesn't mean anything so the players don't care and the fans don't care (other than a few 5 year olds). If they made it mean something -- like winning team's conference gets home ice advantage for the Stanley Cup Final no matter what their regular season points total was -- suddenly that game's intensity would ramp up quite a lot.
