5 on 5 domination amplified in the 2nd. There's one reason the score isn't ugly, and his initials are J.R.
Leafs @ Red Wings - Dec. 10th, 8:00pm - SN, Fan 590
- Thread starter CarltonTheBear
- Start date
Tear up the 1st line please. Keep them as far away from each other as possible. 3rd period should start with:
Lupul-Kadri-Kessel
JVR-Holland-Panik/Clarkson
Booth-Bozak-Santorelli
Kozun-Winnik-Clarkson/Panik
Panik on that Holland line would be ideal, but probably not likely.

4 even strength shot attempts that period. 4.
mirtle: Leafs possession tonight is 22.4%. Lowest total in a game all season (419 games) is 22.2% (Sharks vs Canucks). Only game lower.

That was just a pathetic effort from him.
Also, like others have mentioned, this is the perfect example of a well coached team, the contrast is striking.
Everything Detroit do seems deliberate and with purpose as opposed to the hopeful approach from the Leafs.
The Leafs 1st line is totally embarrassing, they can shove their scoring off the rush one trick, the rest of their play is piss poor.

well this game has been one sided since the drop of the puck...but somehow..amazingly ..it's only 1-0 ...i thought after that first one went in they'd score another one or two almost immediately ..but they didn't ..the leafs know they should lose this game...the redwings know they should win this game...but reimer has given them a chance to play one period of half decent hockey and still be able to salvage something here...i hope they take that opportunity because most nights this game would have been over in the first period.

Also, this dump the puck and get after it strategy that everyone on the team and staff is preaching is seriously making me so upset I'm actually getting headaches, I honestly am completely 100% clueless as to why this BS has not been called out, is there not one media member with a set of stones?
I mean this team made a point of saying at the start of the season that they had learned that entering the zone with possession was a more successful approach as supported by stats, I mean they actually said it, now they do a complete 180 and nobody mentions it.
I need to goto the gym and hit the bag or something, I feel like the big vein in my head is gonna pop.

No line-up changes to start the 3rd.

The slow, obvious, easy to stop wraparound is basically his go-to move.

That happened mid-way through the 2nd.
Hey there's Phil. Imagine we win this?
