Maple Leafs @ Coyotes - Feb. 16th, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

[Highlander]

I guess I worded it wrong, coming into the arena is Ok and you are right you can park right next to Gila for 20 bucks and there is a nice concourse with some good restaurants. 
Its getting out that is the problem, if you leave when the game ends it takes a long time to hit the freeway, I think the once I did it was about 45 minutes. If you run to the car with 5-10 minutes left, you are on the freeway in no time.
Let's move on, there are other extenuating circumstances where I could not attend tonight.

I just bumped into a bunch of guys in Old Scottsdale wearing Leaf jerseys, they not only are heading to tonights game but just drove in from Vegas where they watched on Thursday.  Said that was a real party atmosphere. 
I could really dig watching a game in Vegas.  And you can walk there from the main hotels..nice

 

[Highlander]

that game was probably one of our ugliest efforts, now they are riding a high. Should be a good game Tochet is an intense guy for sure.

Didn?t brodeur start all 82 regular season games and then go in to win 45 cups?

In a row.

In a row.

He was facing, what, 12 shots max a game though?

 

[Bates]

Yeah sorry for the derailment, Nik likes to argue and I'm certainly not adverse to it!!! Highlander if you exit the 101 on Maryland and park on that side your exit from game will take seconds rather than 45 minutes. If you want free right after exiting 101 take a left into empty parking lot by hotels and you can walk to arena in about 5 minutes. Free and fast.

Good memory you have there, the data set suggest 11.7 average per game.

Scott Stevens was blocking 24 shots per game. Just amazing.

Yes but 12 high quality shots.

Wasn?t it easier for Brodeur (which my phone is autocorrecting to ?a rodent?) because he was a stand up goalie (but not quite a stand up spouse)?

Yes but 12 high quality shots.

I like the way this discussion has wandered.

 

[ZBBM]

I don't understand what Ron and Don are doing ... are they shipping out on a battle cruiser, and if so.... ?

 

[Al14]

Can our star studded Leafs beat this AHL team?

 

[ZBBM]

Hey, that's two games in a row with very nice anthem singing.

;D

Coyotes won?t let anything get on net.  Sitting back and blocking shots.  Then ice it.

 

[lc9]

Leafs with all the zone time, coyotes being opportunist and have more chances 10 mins in. 

 

[azzurri63]

Tavares shaken up hopefully nothing.

 

[ZBBM]

JT got belted.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Nylander flying again. He had a shift where he carried the puck end to end effortlessly. His last shift he had two takeaways with stick lifts in the offensive zone within about 15 seconds of each other.

 

[lc9]

Coyotes have been taking it to the leafs over the last 5 minutes.  Leafs can?t clear the zone.

 

[ZBBM]

The balance of power has shifted.
