Man, Kessel and breakaways...

Kessel's skating like an allstar here.

Kessel's skating like an allstar here.

Whoever's counting the real-time stats screwed him out of a block too.

No idea what JVR was doing there.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

What in the world was that from JVR, lol.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Do my eyes deceive me or is Robidas having a good game?

 

[Deebo]

2 minutes away with a 4-2 lead, I've heard that before

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

JVR

Who the hell is this team?

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Good game. Most everyone looked good. Franson had a couple bad plays and there were a couple stretches where CBJ had extended possession but all in all a solid game.

 

[Highlander]

good win?don't you love Horachuck

 

[freer]

A complete game by the team. (About effin time)
I missed the first goal.

Kessel seemed to have some wheels tonight.

I hope this is a sign for the future. shot 32-20 for us. Analytic's must be nice for us.

Besides the Boston game, this is the most complete game the Leafs have played.

I miss the days when there was no telling which Leafs team would show up: Jekyll or Hyde.  Pretty sure we have yet another date with Hyde tonight.

Well hello, Dr Jekyll. Boy am I glad to see you!

 

[Redleaf]

Columbus is a very beatable team.With a little luck they should win this one.

Of course, the only 'luck' they've had lately has been bad, so...

Very beatable? Aren't they on something like a 14-2 run? Foligno at a ppg? Bobrovsky playing lights out? Yeah this should be a cakewalk.

12-2-1, 8 ROW

They're still playing well.

Sure over those last 15 games they weren't very beatable, but NOW they are!

Was it the 'very' beatable part? Too strong on the verbage?

Sadly missed this game, which turned out to be a win by playing the right way. Now to dissect the highlights to see how Horachek was able to activate the talent and motivation to play properly. I suspect it has something to do with, I don't know, teaching the players what to do and how to do it...

 

[L K]

The Leafs have outshot their opponents 65-46 in the two games post-Carlyle.  3.1 more shots/game and 10 fewer shots against per game.  Small sample size and everything but I saw a different defensive approach to the game, especially tonight against Columbus.  The Leafs aren't collapsing the center of the ice anymore.

 

[Deebo]

If it ends up being as simple as firing Carlyle, I'd be firing Nonis for taking so long to do it.

We rule btw...
