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

[ZBBM]

Hrrm. My CBC feed keeps stopping and restarting by replaying the last couple minutes of play.

You sure the leafs aren't just hemmed in their own zone?

It wouldn't be surprising. ;D

It is more the repeating commercials and listening to Healy say the same stuff over and over....

Are you sure you aren't just watching the CBC feed? 

So far Healy has mentioned the quiet crowd about 15 times, talked about Kessel doing nothing at least twice and gushed over Datsyuk about 20 times.

Annoying he may be, but he's also right.  Kessel is effing worse than useless when he has a chance to get the puck out along the boards in our zone.

To be fair, he is just one of many turnover machines on our roster.

 

[drummond]

Outworked, outhustled, and outcoached.

 

[ZBBM]

Giveaway Jake.  See you on the bench.

 

[Derk]

Reimer left out to dry, but that probably shouldn't trickle through him like that.

Aaand the feed just skipped back again so I am going to get to see that goal for a second time. Woooo.

 

[lamajama]

Ok pull that sieve

 

[L K]

Hilarious.  This whole team should be embarrassed.  Clearly they aren't because there has been absolutely no response night after night.

CBC feed has been pretty spotty all year.  I just switched to atdee.

 

[Arn]

About 30 games after most of the roster, I quit.

 

[drummond]

it looks like another off night

I may need to do that as well.

I hadn't had a problem with CBC before tonight.

 

[lamajama]

So remind me what led to Wilson being fired?

 

[Derk]

Way to hold the puck until the period ended, Dion.

Hopefully this doesn't end up as a blowout.

 

[L K]

I get that the Leafs top 6 faceoff men haven't been good, but the notion that starting the play defensively is the problem when their system seems to involve just randomly throwing the puck into the neutral zone so it can be brought right back would seem to counter that argument.  They seem to have a system designed to play with the puck in their zone the whole game.  Outlet passing seems to be a problem with this team, which makes very little sense given that we have a mobile, offense oriented defensive unit and a pretty highly skilled top 6 (top 9 when healthy).

 

[drummond]

Somebody should call Kubina and talk him out of retirement, he cant be worse than this

 

[2badknees]

So remind me what led to Wilson being fired?

He was an annoying, classless asshat who blamed the players for him being a terrible coach.

 

[ZBBM]

Grand Rapids is teaching us a thing or two about how to play the game.

 

[Arn]

Way to hold the puck until the period ended, Dion.

Hopefully this doesn't end up as a blowout.

Maybe a few blowouts would force Nonis' hand?

 

[Screwball]

Tough period for the Leafs. Carlyle needs to rip them open this intermission.  This is no way to show effort.

 

[2badknees]

I'm not sure why the Leafs have Phaneuf and Franson out as the top PP pairing. They haven't shown much to me in that role.

Proof?
