Rangers @ Leafs - Jan. 4th, 7:00pm - CBC, SN 590

3rd line almost gives up a goal on first shift against Rangers' top line after an offensive zone faceoff? Sounds about right.
 
Well, that goal was a direct result of Franson treating the puck like a hand grenade behind the net. Not sure what he was thinking there. He had plenty time to move it and didn't, so the Rangers stole it.
 
Also, the 3rd line has looked completely outmatched against the Rangers' top line. It'll be fun watching that matchup all night.

I didn't mention it in the WC game thread, but Franson was AWFUL in the Winter Classic.  Both goals could be blamed wholly or in part on him, Zetterberg was blazing past him when the OT half-period ended, and in general he was slow and beaten.  It was very noticeable, moreso than any of the other D IMO.

There was literally nobody on the points too. Lupul and Raymond were both almost below the faceoff circles before it was passed back there.

funny that 4th line is the best offensively so far

It's really nice having Holland/D'Amigo there.  And Orr had that big hit on Stralman that led to a chance earlier, so he deserves credit for playing hard, smart hockey.
 
Common occurrence with this team. Opposition always looks good. Too many soft players in my opinion and especially on the backend and hey let's not dress Gleason. Gardiner and Franson no intensity at all. Didn't Burke deal for these two.
