Leafs @ Red Wings - Dec. 10th, 8:00pm - SN, Fan 590

[L K]

I think the Red Wings have more breakaways than the Leafs have shots.

 

[ZBBM]

Rielly and Gardiner ... not that impressive.

 

[bustaheims]

Crazy stat: there are only 2 players in the Red Wings lineup that they didn't draft or sign as an undrafted UFA - Weiss and Miller.

On the flip side, the Leafs only have 5 guys that they drafted or signed as an undrafted UFA - Kadri, Reimer, Bozak, Rielly and Holzer.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

At least Reimer came to play.

 

[ZBBM]

I don't care if we end up losing this game 8-0.  Reimer is the MotM already.  Jeebus.  :

 

[Tigger]

What exactly has David Booth done to justify playing on a line with Kadri this year?  Is it his 1 assist?  I bet it's his 1 assist.

He's been a good soldier, maybe hoping he can create space, no real harm trying it.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Tonight is showing exactly why this top line struggles. Constantly just trying to do those cross-ice dumps in the neutral zone to get a rush going. But good defences know it's coming and are always getting in the way of the pass.

Panik deserves the promotion more.

It just seems like Carlyle is insistent on putting an anchor on his line.

If this was a medical chart the Leafs would have been declared deceased.

Yeah, but he isn't coming back from injury.

Will this team ever figure out how to play without the puck. Just unbelievable how poor we are and it keeps happening game after game for the most part. If the players don't want to commit to the defensive part of the game then sit them on the bench or ship them out. Pathetic. Then the blame is on the netminders. Too many quality chances every night.

8 of the 18 skaters dressed for the Leafs tonight were either not on the roster or were used in marginal roles last season. They've shipped out a big chunk of the roster, and yet the same problem remains . . .

 

[Tigger]

There was a play towards the end of the first, Holzer filled in a Wing then Kadri made a nice defensive play very shortly after in the defensive zone, nice to see.

 

[freer]

Wow a PP

 

[L K]

So Eriksson gets to take Kadri out when he's trying to go into the zone and chase a dump-in...how is that not interference?

Post JFJ years spent retooling certainly skewed that number.

 

[TML fan]

Do you think the Leafs wonder why other teams don't just give them time and space like they do?

 

[freer]

They better score here.

 

[ZBBM]

5/3.  I sense a shortie coming up.
