Leafs @ Sharks - Oct. 30th, 10:30pm - SNO, TSN 1050

[herman]

Nylander nearly dangling the whole team on the next shift = 100

 

[ZBBM]

Nylander nearly dangling the whole team on the next shift = 100

101 to be precise.  Wow.

 

[ZBBM]

Hainsey = bombs away

 

[L K]

Martin with the nice penalty after the 4th line gets hemmed.  Good stuff.  Take notes Leivo. 

 

[ZBBM]

Marner.  Is.  Snakebit.

 

[herman]

That track meet to end the period is probably the best case scenario for the Bozak line.

 

[disco]

Helluva feat by Marner to get two shots off that flip pass JVR. Jones being yuge.

 

[herman]

Marner.  Is.  Snakebit.

Not snakebit that period was Andersen. The Sharks tossed a lot of muffins past the net.

 

[x.jr.benchwarmer]

Another terrific period by Matthews and Nylander.

But with Babcock putting Polak and Borgman out for seemingly every third shift it is going to be a long game (certainly for us Leaf fans).

 

[ZBBM]

Good grief VGK.

 

[BrownRolo]

If Leivo wants to make this team he is going to have to learn to not be good at hockey but be a gud pro. Maybe get married and have a couple of kids.

Polak looks like a guy who needs a conditioning stint.

Yeah, I'm a defender of Roman but he looks slooow.  Coming back from that injury ... may not happen.

Just doesn't seem up to game speed. I mean, he was never fast to begin with but it looks mental.

I think he's faster than given credit for but not like that so far this year.

 

[ZBBM]

That was far from the most dangerous looking of their shots from the blue line. 

 

[herman]

San Jose pretty much only shoot from the blueline.

Zaitsev bumped down to 3rd pair btw with Borgman.

 

[BrownRolo]

San Jose pretty much only shoot from the blueline.

So Polak bumped up? That makes sense. He has looked amazing tonight. You gotta reward your players.

 

[disco]

Patty close there. Would've been epic.

 

[ZBBM]

That period was 95% garbage, 5% Andersen.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Isn't that one of the Duck Dynasty dudes?

Very insightful analysis (Mr. Babcock).
