Predators @ Leafs - Nov. 21st, 7:00pm - LeafsTV, SN 590

[L K]

Let's throw Orr out to "change" momentum now.

There can't have been too many games this season and last where McClement was on the ice for two powerplay goals against.

 

[Stronger Than All]

stop the suck already.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Maybe Nashville just played really bad in the 1st.

 

[Arn]

The goals against have been on such crappy needless penalties too. A poor high stick, that wee shove 200 feet down the ice by JVR and all of a sudden 1-0 is 1-3

@mirtle

Leafs PK has allowed eight goals in eight games this month, killing only 75% of opportunities.

 

[L K]

I'm just going to throw it out there, but maybe Trevor Smith shouldn't be getting more a minute more TOI than Kadri.  I mean, yes, the Leafs had 3 penalties in the period but in no world should the Kadri-Kessel-JVR line be getting <4 minutes when they have been the most dangerous line for the team.

 

[13th fan]

I step out for a minute and it's 3-1!

 

[TML fan]

Nashville is playing really well and they have glaringly (or I hope glaringly) exposed weaknesses in the Leafs' game. I mean, they've completely dismantled their system, both offensively and defensively. Kudos to them on a very well played game.

That said, the Leafs completely took that period off. Really should have been a lot worse than a 2 goal deficit.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

The team needs two goals and Carlyle starts the 3rd with McClement-Smithson-Kulemin? Oh my.

RC is a poor bench coach in this respect

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Holland goes out with JVR and Kessel. Please tell me Kadri won't be with Orr the whole period.

Carlyle is a honestly a moron.

And the McClement-Smithson-Kulemin line is the first to get a 2nd shift in the period.

Raymond-Kadri-Orr

*throws something*

Seriously. I mean, Kadri with Raymond . . . sure, I get that. Both are fast skaters and have offence, but, Orr? Seriously? Blargh.

 

[Bonsixx]

I just don't get it... the team was playing great in the 1st.

Carlyle hockey.  The Leafs can't sustain any form of quality play.  I swear the guy has no idea how to adjust the style of play for his team when things aren't working.

I remember hearing the exact same complaint about Wilson.

More blargh. Get the puck out of the zone.

This team *Should* have the ability to play a few different styles of play.  They have enough speed to do it. 

And 4-1.  This game is done.

 

[bustaheims]

The giveaways at the blueline need to stop. There's WAY too many of them happening.
