Spezza's goal was beautiful. Smith bit hard.

You called it. ;D

Old reliable... I don?t think anyone else does it quite as well as he does. Really sold it on this one too.

It doesn?t hurt that he scores on some of those slap shot rips from the circle.

These are the type of results we see when this team plays a full 60 minutes. Really happy for Campbell, first shutout for the Leafs this season.

What a solid win, absolutely complete game all around. Tight defensive game without going shorthanded, that's tough to do.

I was glad to see Kevin Bieksa highlight Zach Bogosian. Bogo has been so solid, just plays a simple, effective game, doesn't try to do too much.

He?s a modern day Bob Rouse. 

Chalk this comment up to ?Why can?t leafs fans enjoy nice things??, but what do you suppose happens to Bogo contract wise next year (and beyond)?

May I also add my support to the general frustration around the way this site turns most attempts at punctuation into a ?.

My other drinking game is whenever Tavares tries to 1v3; double it if he gets through with control.

Herman, how did you do that.  A Kreskin like prediction.

I think if he wants to be here and comes back to the Leafs, the cash will be similar.

I'm not sure, but I think it's a Tapatalk thing.

I approve of the Rouse comparison. We've needed more quietly dependable defensemen like Rouse for years.

With various competitive teams cap situations and a stagnant cap, plus his non-existent (and frankly irrelevant) offensive numbers, I could see Bogosian being undervalued on the market and resigning.

It?s a mobile keyboard font thing

Just happened to me in another post sent from my regular comp keyboard.  It could be a screen font substitution thing in the browser interacting with the board's software.  I just had to go into FF prefs and change something last week for a similar problem.

He has been pulling off that move for his entire 20 year career. It?s old fashioned these days but Spezza has everything needed to pull it off.

It's such a simple but great move.
Step 1: Fake the shot and drop the goalie into the Butterfly
Step 2: Fake the pass to have the goalie move anticipating the pass
Step 3: Roof it.

In the last 4 seasons (2017-2020), guess which 3 players led the Leafs in GWGs.

Bogo surely recognizes he?s a 3rd pairing shutdown guy now. I can?t imagine he?ll get offers that will pay him much more than that. I suspect he signs for $1.5M or less.
