Avs @ Leafs - Dec. 11th, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

[Arn]

There's Polak's nightly icing

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Bibeau might have stopped that had Hunwick not taken one of his legs away.

Not every goal against requires a player to be singled out and dumped on. This is a trend I've started seeing in the gdts of  late, and it's getting out of hand.

Would you like to see the replay?

I didn't say Hunwick should be shot, but he did clearly take Bibeau out on that goal.

 

[L K]

Figures that the Leafs face good goaltending after they lay a massive egg in front of Montreal.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Haha remember when Todd McLellan didn't explain the qualification rules to his team?

I don't need to see the replay. I have no doubt that Hunwick was doing whatever he could in the scramble in the crease, and hey, shit happens. The fact of the matter is that duchene made a beautiful seeing eye play to set up the goal, and if you're desperate to find a scapegoat every time, you'll find it - but unless it was a glaring error, I don't see why it's necessary to hang a leaf with it.

 

[Arn]

I don't read it as hanging anyone or picking a scapegoat. It's a simply statement of fact - If Hunwick hadn't taken Bibeau's leg he may have been able to spin round and get across to make the save.

 

[Arn]

Meh

 

[ZBBM]

Man I've tried 8 or 9 different streams tonite and they are all crummy.

I'll PM you a good one.

For all the stream hounds, the game is free on NHL.com.

8) Although I'm watching on TV so I can't confirm

Thanks!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I'm genuinely not sure why MacKinnon isn't like a top-10 player in the world right now.

 

[ZBBM]

Wow.  That was impressive, Mackinnon.

 

[L K]

Ouch...goal and a 4-minute PP.  Nice job Komarov

This team has trouble scoring at times.  Time to put Nylander, Marner and Matthews all on the 4th line.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Doesn't the goal burn two minutes off the penalty?

 

[Bill_Berg]

Doesn't the goal burn two minutes off the penalty?

They were already on a powerplay.

 

[bustaheims]

Doesn't the goal burn two minutes off the penalty?

Nope. Just burns the rest of the PP they were already on.

 

[bustaheims]

So, tonight's game is sort of the flip side of last night's? Cool.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Doesn't the goal burn two minutes off the penalty?

Yeah, I don't get how that worked. (edit: as others have said, we were on a PP of course already)

Also, time for my regularly scheduled "extra 2 minutes for drawing blood is completely asinine" comment.

 

[lamajama]

So what is the general consensus on Bibeau?
