Leafs @ Wild - Dec. 31st, 6:00pm - SN, TSN 1050

[Hobbes]

Spezza is really good at gaining entry to the offensive zone on the 2U.  He just barrels up the middle and usually it works.

He might be the slowest best skater in the league.

Doesn't look like it to me.  Mind you, I remember Jason Allison's glory days with the Leafs so that's my point of reference.

Jason Allison skated like his skates where in cement pots

I seem to remember a penalty shot he took and it looked like the tv was showing a slow motion replay and not the actual penalty shot.

ROFL...I remember that one!

Me too

Just curious where would we be if Keefe had replaced Egocock over the summer.

 

[Joe S.]

Imagine if Marner had a shot like Matthews or Nylander, if he was more of a threat to shoot defences wouldn't know what to do.

If that was the case he would have been first overall.

You really need your head on a swivel when Foligno is on the ice. He's almost a Wilson-level predator.

And he still managed 60points in about 60 games.  That was such a weird season.

Minnesota bothers me

 

[Guilt Trip]

This game can't end fast enough. Run the clock before we get anymore injuries.

 

[Hobbes]

Minnesota bothers me

The entire state, or just their hockey team?

 

[Guilt Trip]

And I love that Wayne Gretzky, Tim Horton autograph commercial.

 

[ZBBM]

Fine road third period so far.  Just not much happening.  Keep it that way.

 

[L K]

Minnesota likes to finish their checks nice and late

 

[BrownRolo]

Not watching the game..Who has been injured?

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man!

 

[Zee]

Hell of a bounce back game for Andersen. He was great.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Nylander out with under a minute left. That rarely happened with Babcock.

 

[ZBBM]

Great road win.

 

[lamajama]

Uh oh the dreaded 4-1

 

[Guilt Trip]

Not watching the game..Who has been injured?

Dermott, Engvall, Kappy, Rielly, JT and Spezza who took a puck to the back of the head, have all been dinged up at some point. All are still playing.

 

[ZBBM]

Nylander out with under a minute left. That rarely nevah happened with Babcock.
