Phaneuf really has the most PIM on the team?  Oh dear.

Phaneuf really has the most PIM on the team?  Oh dear.

He finally leapfrogged over Orr against San Jose when he picked up 16 PIM (including a 10 minute game misconduct). But he does have the most minor penalties on the team, and by quite a margin. 41 compared to JVR and Kadri who are both in 2nd place with 19.

I'm pretty sure this is also the first time all season (or at least since mid-October) that Phaneuf hasn't led the team in +/-. Not that the stat means a whole lot.

still..having a + on a team that's a -  probably counts for something

 

[losveratos]

Think you got the wrong date. Isn't it the 16th?


fixed.......

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

*grumble* Saturday night. No Leaf game.

what moron scheduled this season!?

:-(

although, to catch the bright side here, means no flipping back and forth of the channel as the Colts game can be viewed uninterrupted tonight......

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Thanks LHF for changing the date. Did I put today by mistake?

Thanks LHF for changing the date. Did I put today by mistake?

You did.

You're bad and you should feel bad.

For shame...

I blame Carter Ashton.

 

[Boston Leaf]

Habs and Bolts each won 2 pts last night, too.  110%, etc.

 

[ZBBM]

This matinee is hoss-poo. It's blowing a big fat hole in the middle of my Sunday.

 

[Highlander]

No Grabbo?? :'(

 

[iwas11in67]

If I recall we don't do well on Sunday matinees.
But this is a new feel season so I'll go with Leafs by 2.

yeah, it said the 15th.....and it was the 15th when I saw it so I'm freakin' out wondering why the game isn't on MY tv.....and then I realised it says Sunday too, not Saturday (hence the post beeyotching about same)

@mirtle

Carlyle said yesterday that Phaneuf hadn't been eating for a couple days. Imagine his minutes will be down if he's in.

markhmasters: @mirtle Or maybe he plays 30 & we always remember this as "The Dion Flu Game"

That's the patented Mark Masters wit.

 

[bustaheims]

jonasTSN1050: Ashton in tonight. Orr comes out in his place. Peter Holland the other scratch.

Balancing the good with the not so good.

 

[drummond]

I wish Reims another good game.
