Leafs @ Hurricanes - Nov. 21st, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

This feels like a let down game and then all the trade rumors of any Carolina D will be all over TSN tomorrow

The guy rumoured was Pesce right?  3 points in 17 games.

Even last year was 19 points in 65 games.  Am I missing something about this guy?

He's a defenseman, so points are not really their calling card and really shouldn't be what we measure defense with (unless you're voting for the Norris, apparently).

He was the primary partner of Jaccob Slavin, and they formed the top D matchup pair, and plays right shot. His numbers suggest he's good reducing quality shots against, but how much of that is playing with Slavin?

Lockdown Pesce!

That's trademarked pal.

Brian Burke?s haircut. Why.

McBackup looking for McRevenge

Brian Burke?s haircut. Why.

Burke has aged considerably since leaving Toronto.

 

[Zee]

Carolina has some fast players. Nylander would look really good on this team.

 

[herman]

Ennis dribbling the puck on the entry was cool.

 

[herman]

10-4 in shots for Carolina but it looks like the Leafs have had the best 3 chances so far. All of Carolina?s shots on goal have been from above the circles, only 1 with traffic.

 

[herman]

I think a Leaf scored that one.

Oh nope. TvR on the backhand.

 

[Zee]

Oh so you can just take away a goalies glove and stick? I see

 

[herman]

The gauntlet has been thrown.

 

[herman]

Lol

 

[Deebo]

I can't believe that wasn't interference.

It looked like the Carolina player removed Freddy's blocker with his stick.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Yeah I don't know about that one. Looks like Andersen was pretty hesitant playing the puck with his bare hand (for good reason, an injury isn't worth saving one goal there).

 

[herman]

Credit to the Canes for their puck pursuit. Credit to the refs for their very good shrugging form.

 

[herman]

Ah, someone at SportsNet taking HockeyViz?s work without credit.

 

[herman]

Ah, no one covering the net front.

Thanks Zaitsev.

 

[Bender]

Well this sucks

 

[Bender]

Credit to the Canes for their puck pursuit. Credit to the refs for their very good shrugging form.

Leafs just don't have any jump. 20 shots already.

Hainsey with that stellar tape to board pass
