Panthers @ Leafs - Mar. 17th, 7:30pm - SNO, TSN 1050

[McGarnagle]

Poor Smith. His stick is too hot right now.

Meh. If he'd let it go, Jokenin would probably have buried it regardless.

He should lend his stick to Grabner.

 

[ZBBM]

Well, I'd say "FFS" ? if this really mattered.

 

[herman]

HAHAHA

The hockey gods are on board with the tank. Triple deflection from a pass that puts it in the net.

The hockey gods look at the Leafs, and the Leaf fans and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh..

Yeah, PAP is certainly the better of the two, but I wonder what qualifies as a "decent contract". Multiyear? Over 2M?

I can see him getting a 2 year contract for ~$2.5M per. Good value for a ~20g, 40p winger, and some protection in the event of an expansion draft.

Rielly beats Luongo clean.

 

[ZBBM]

Morgan Rielly has progressed his shot as the year has progressed.  This allows him to get into Position A.  And when he progresses into Position A, you can rest assured that he will make no mistake.

 

[McGarnagle]

Rielly beats Luongo clean.

 

[cujo4ever]

Nice shot by Rielly. He played over 31 minutes against Detroit the other night? That's a lot!

 

[herman]

Rielly beats Luongo clean.

Undeflected. Luongo got a piece of it but it was an uncontested shot in my book.

Nylander all smiles after getting a hug from Jagr.

 

[McGarnagle]

Well, looking positively - the leafs have scored more goals tonight than florida.

 

[herman]

Cool: Marincin's been beating Jagr all night.

 

[cujo4ever]

Grabber reminds me of Jonus Hoglund

 

[Al14]

No tripping call there!!! 

 

[McGarnagle]

No tripping call there!!! 

Pretty blatant dive. He's going to start getting a seriously bad rep.

 

[ZBBM]

I remember that St. Pats game.  It was a good game but IIRC somebody died in the stands during the warmup.

 

[cujo4ever]

Seems about right

 

[Al14]

No tripping call there!!! 

Pretty blatant dive. He's going to start getting a seriously bad rep.

I agree, the slow mo really showed it as a dive, however, his balance was lost on the initial contact with his leg.  Jumping afterwards just wasn't a good move!
