R1G4: Bruins @ Leafs - May 8th, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

With the 5 on 3 at the start of the 3rd period, it is time for Carlyle to make a statement and put out the 4th line with O'Byrne and Frasor (the latter pair who incidentally were inexplicably penalty killing when the Bruins scored their goal high on the short side).

 

[ZBBM]

Truth is, we are short about 2 or 2.5 quality d-men if you want to talk real contender and all that.

So the statement you want him to make is "I should be looking for a job"?

Dion Phaneuf has the hockey sense of a box of Kleenex.

Used, caked with snot.

I don't know what Liles has done to be put behind Fraser and O'Byrne in the pecking order (for Carlyle at least).

All he need do is dial 1-800-CANUCKS.  They'll have an opening.

He must be attempting to match BOS's physicality, that's about all I can think of.

I guess Carlyle wants to have on each pairing offensive player (Phaneuf, Franson, Gardiner) and stay-at-home type (Gunnarson, Franson, O?Byrne) and Liles does not fit in if you want to replace Fraser/O?Byrne.

 

[Derk]

And Bozak loses the draw right off the bat.

 

[Derk]

Yeah, why isn't Gardiner on the PP?

 

[TML fan]

Great. Just great.

 

[ZBBM]

FFS Phaneuf!  And now a double minor.

 

[L K]

Stupid flipping lazy team.  The stand around doing nothing.  Phaneuf of course can't handle yet another puck and then Kadri takes a lazy 4 minute penalty.

 

[Kin]

THE REFS! Since when is it a penalty to hit someone in the face with your stick?

 

[Derk]

Dumb lazy play by Kadri.

This is why he has been on the bench, but now it is probably too late. 4 mins for Boston. If they score here, it could be over.

 

[barney_rebel]

We're screwed dudes...

 

[L K]

4 on4 with a pending 4 minute penalty kill.  Now Carlyle puts Gardiner out. 

 

[TML fan]

I somewhat agree with Simpson about Kessel's shot on the PP there. While missing the net wide is usually a bad result, if van Riemsdyk could win a puck battle they would have kept the puck in.

Bleeding on the ice should be a delay of game!

 

[L K]

Phaneuf with another give-away because he fumbles the puck.
