Leafs @ Bruins - Feb. 2nd, 7:00pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

Looks like Pittsburgh is finally having the game that everyone thought all of their games would be.

I was talking to a buddy about this the other day, but they really could do some damage if they get to the playoffs.

Maybe. But without some serious upgrades on D, I wouldn't put much on it.

I mean you're right, but when healthy and with the help of a deadline rental they can ice a pretty solid group.

I like Maata, Letang and Pouliot a lot and Daley is a passable bottom pair guy.

I just don't know if many teams will have the checking lines to shutdown the Pens scoring depth over a seven game series.

 

[McGarnagle]

Well on the plus side, uncle leo has had all weekend to practice 3 on 3.

 

[bustaheims]

Overtime? But I want to see the new logo nooooowwwwww!

With Columbus playing Edmonton, if they had managed to lose in regulation, they could have woken up tomorrow in 30th! Way to ruin that, jerks!

I think you're forgetting that they have to play in front of playoff MA Fleury.

It strikes me as pretty unlikely that they could beat Washington.

Unlikely yeah, I just think they're significantly better than their laughable start suggests.

What a terrific game (by Leafs standards).

That the Leafs came back with 2 in the third was one of the highlights of this year (which again isn't saying much).

 

[McGarnagle]

Lupul has to bury that.

Maybe. But they might not even win tonight.

2nd+3rd rounder scores!

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I'd love to see 3 on 2 PP's in OT.

 

[bustaheims]

A divisional win? What?

 

[ZBBM]

What?  What?? OT win??????

 

[McGarnagle]

What a gorgeous pass from Kadri.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

It was 3-1.

 

[Kin]

A divisional win? What?

Clearly those stats were a reverse jinx.

 

[Bullfrog]

Parenteau: skilled, clutch player. Any team would be fortunate to have him.

 

[McGarnagle]

A divisional win? What?

I believe I will celebrate with the addition of chocolate to milk.

G'night, all.

 

[Al14]

It was 3-1.

Could have been worse, like 4-1 worse! 

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Kadri straight-up owned Patrice Bergeron last night. They went head-to-head most of the night, at 5-on-5 Kadri's CF% was 76.74%, while Bergeron finished the night at 25%.

 

[L K]

This was actually the first game I stopped watching.  I shut it off when it went to 2-1.  I just found the game very slow.  Nice to see them win.  Reiner continues to impress this year.  Kadri needs to be extended soon.
