Leafs @ Pens 7:30 PM EST, TSN

[Capn_Crunch]

Decent period by the Leafs.

If you project this game based on the rest of the season to this point, the Leafs should get at least a point. However, projections can be deceiving.

Huge to be up a goal going into the 3rd.  The legs are going to start to hurt in the 3rd period, especially when combining the harder skating practices Carlyle put in place + playing Boston last night.

Agreed! If they want to stay in the playoff race, they need to take care of business, though.

One point behind Buf, three ahead of Carolina. They are tied 2-2 in the 3rd.

Maybe the canes do us a favor and win in regulation, would that be too much to ask of the hockey gods?

Let's have 20 effin mins of effort and give our PO hopes a lil shot in the arm. Most of us rightfully so wrote off this game as one of the 5 losses we can suffer and still have a shot.

2 PTS boys....2 PTS

I see we are in the "fold like a cheap suit" phase of the game

Looks like it.

 

[ZBBM]

Oh for CHRIST'S sake.

Bad goal Gustavsson but holy hell the Leafs have just absolutely given up playing any semblance of defense.

 

[Derk]

And there is the goal that has been going in the last month, the one that should have been stopped. Great.

 

[bustaheims]

The Leafs are bad and they should feel bad.

 

[Mikhail Bloodnovsky]

This team has no hope this season.

I think Carlyle loves Grabbo already too.

RC probably will be asking BB to look into cloning Grabbo during the summer. He reminds me of a slightly less skilled version of Dougie. Small in stature but big of heart. Both took a licking and kept on grinding away.

I see that holding a guy trying to get a partial breakaway is acceptable defensive play...

Yeah, he's got hart. I hate that they're getting out hit tonight though.

Time to get on the Night Train.

Looks like the FAN was wrong. Ashton counts as the 4th callup.

 

[L K]

Holy crap this team has absolutely no pride.  Lazy giveaways and Gus bails Kessel out bigtime.
