Leafs @ Stars - Oct. 9th, 8:30pm - TSN4, Fan 590

This powerplay is alright

 

[ZBBM]

Deadly.  Just deadly.

I?m normally the one who?ll throw Hainsey under the bus but that was a poorly supported pinch by Rielly. Hainsey is victimized as the guy trying to cover laterally, and I give him a lot of credit for even getting there to try to make a play.

This is a good observation.

I?m looking at the replay again and there is a high forward covering the middle and shading a Star at the blue line, so it?s not completely out to lunch. But Seguin streaking in that fast from the weak side suggests this is a set chip out on pinch plays. Obviously if it?s Dermott or anyone faster than Hainsey covering, that might get broken up. Can?t just lay all the blame on the Leafs though as Seguin did a fantastic job corralling the puck and put a very nice move on Andersen.

They are so goo, that PP unit. 

 

[herman]

I guess they?re going to aim for Kadri next PP.

We stink dudes.

That was a horribly weak call against Marleau but after 3 calls I think we knew it was coming

 

[ZBBM]

Dallas responds.  They look pretty good.

Yeah. But there?s also zero need to forecheck with only one hand on the stick when you?ve got Marleau speed.

Tavares impression right there.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Marner is insanely talented.

Seriously, does anyone still care that our defense isn't great when the team can score at will?

Their top line can run with most all teams.  And their blueline can add offense.  I can see why they didn't want to budge off Heiskenen.

 

[Bullfrog]

I'd like to see Kapanen with Kadri.

 

[Zee]

I've never heard Kapanen speak before, I assumed he had a Finnish accent but he speaks English perfectly. Mind. Blown.

I'm pretty sure he grew up in Philadelphia.

Same with Nylander.  They might as well have been raised in Indianapolis.

Yeah, again, they were raised in the States.

Interestingly though, KK doesn't have any trace of a Philly accent.
