Finally, a mercy pull for Reimer. If you try that after the 3rd goal, maybe that would have helped, Randy.

Exactly or at least a timeout back in the first or second period and reem these guys out. Did he even do that?

Hmmm ... this is beginning to sound eerily like the posts toward the end of Wilson.

Except Carlyle isn't going anywhere...

Nice! Clarkson is playing tonight!

That is true.  Nobody's getting fired when the team is 14-8, all our discontent notwithstanding.

 

[Newfoundlandleaf]

Not getting the game.. What happened to Lupul?

 

[azzurri63]

Got hit with a Phaneuf shot.

Bah.  Carlyle's has mismanaged the lines, and I don't understand why they can't play the system that they used last year where there was speed and forechecking, instead of counterpunching.

But as others have said, there are too many talented guys not living up to their paychecks at the moment.  The skill is there; the will isn't.

Leo Komarov gave a robust forechecking element that hasn't been made up in my opinion, by Clarkson or anyone else.  Forechecking that created turnovers and more time in the offensive zone.

Hmmm I don't recall Komarov being on for all that many goals for or spending a whole lot of time in the offensive zone.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

why are they wasting their time and energy getting passionate about this game NOW? doh!

 

[azzurri63]

Turned awkwardly and tweaked a knee or maybe ankle.

did something to his leg, twisted it perhaps. They haven't elaborated

 

[harps64]

;D

Got hit with a Phaneuf shot.

;D

 

[L K]

Again.  Kadri fights.

Orr and McLaren do jack all. 

 

[bustaheims]

mirtle: Leafs have won two games in regulation in their last 10. They have 16 goals in those games.

At this pace, they'll be fighting for the 1st overall pick by New Year's.

Devils fired Claude Julien 3 games before the playoffs with a 47-24-8 record.

Again.  Kadri fights.

Orr and McLaren do jack all.

Don't think there is any tough guys  for them to fight.

 

[gunnar36]

Jenner was a steal in the 2011 draft.  He is miles ahead of Biggs in all aspects of the game.

 

[L K]

Again.  Kadri fights.

Orr and McLaren do jack all.

Don't think there is any tough guys  for them to fight.

Then they shouldn't be playing.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

holy crap, almost an anti-hat trick for Fraser. Jenner hits the post. holy cow, Fraser you're AWful

True. I always thought that was a stupid move by Lou. Worked out pretty good for Julien in the end...

The Horror...The Horror is over.

If anyone makes MotM and HM nominations tonight, I will hunt you down??.
