Wings @ Leafs - Dec. 21st, 7:00pm - CBC, SN 590

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Franson looked like he was in slow motion when Datsyuk was peeling away from him.

 

[2badknees]

Reilly and Gardner should be the #1 pairing.

Franson looked like he was in slow motion when Datsyuk was peeling away from him.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but I swear he's slower this season.  Maybe just getting worn down more than last season.

 

[Bill_Berg]

Hopefully we see this Gustavsson tonight:

Is that New York scoring on Minnesota?

L.A. maybe? It's what came up on a "Blades of Steel goalie gif" Google search.

Lol. I wonder how many hours of my youth were spent playing that game. My favorite was that if you fought and won, you got a power play.

 

[drummond]

Reilly and Gardner should be the #1 pairing.

If the leafs remain patient, the duo would be lethal one day

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Reilly and Gardner should be the #1 pairing.

Not yet, but I think it could be some foreshadowing there.

 

[Beowulf]

Bernier has been spectacular since coming in

Or if you fought in front of the offensive net you got a penalty shot.

 

[Bill_Berg]

Bernier is awesome.

I would not pair Franson and Phaneuf on the 1PP -- both are just too vulnerable to that kind of play.  Put Rielly with one of them.

 

[2badknees]

Phaneuf at least has a shot, but no playmaking vision. At least pair him with Reilly instead of Franson for the PP.

No, you're right, he does seem slower. I say bag skate him every second practice and a visit to see Barb.

A lot of the team seems slower this year though.  They kept boasting about Barb and now you don't hear anything about it anymore.  Maybe the results weren't nearly as good as they claimed they would be?

It's possible his skating just looked better in comparison to his defensive partner last season.

 

[2badknees]

Ah well, if someone had said after the first it would be tied 4-4 close to the end of the 3rd, I'd have taken it.

 

[Stronger Than All]

One of these days, a one goal lead will stand.

 

[ZBBM]

Kessel the lion-hearted.

Makes too much sense.

 

[Derk]

The defensive zone coverage pretty poor there.

 

[Stickytape]

The Leafs got 3 goals while my power was out.. I think I'm going to go shut my power back off..
