Uh oh.  What happened?

Happened in practice..supposed to be day by day but something changed. Hope Keefe gives McMann a shot on L3

Oh I think I remember now, a knuckle?

Yes. Shot to the hand.

 

[ZBBM]

I need to see a McHatTrick pls

THERE YA GO

 

[herman]

YESSSsSs

 

[Kaberle15]

WoW

McMann

 

[herman]

Now I need to see a McDickTrick

 

[ZBBM]

A lovely billiard shot for the HATTY

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Well if hockey doesn't work out, Bobby Mac can switch to pool. 

 

[Guilt Trip]

Awesome...now get him off the 4th line. This guy is a goal scorer.

 

[herman]

Oh man, if McMann bounced that through Binnington?

 

[ZBBM]

Wow, fewest SOG allowed in 8 years.  Amazing game.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Bobby has 5 career goals now.

 

[Bender]

Thorough workmanlike effort. I know this isn't what you'll see every night but definitely encouraging.

 

[4EVRLEAFAN]

5 game win streak coming up? LOL

 

[herman]

And Nylander?s doofy fluke goal is the GWG lol

 

[Guilt Trip]

Great team effort...probably the best of the year

Yessir.

Great defensive game - as TSN pointed out - even on the goal allowed the Leafs didn't do much wrong.

Done in about ~1/3rd of Bertuzzi's ice time with Kamf & Gregor as usual linemates and almost no PP ice time.

He has a knack for getting that rubber disk into a net from the tough areas

 

[x.jr.benchwarmer]

What a team effort!

McMann had a career game.

Domi was flying.

And Brodie had perhaps his best game this year.

15 shots allowed tonight which was phenomenal.

Is it coincidental that Reilly wasn?t in the lineup for Brodie?s stellar play?

And by having all of the defencemen stress positional play and clear the net and make quick smart passes and not take chances, should this be an approach the Leafs should adopt going forward?

The Leafs were 15-2-1 last year with Reilly out.  It?s probably coincidental but it is arguably worth looking into this further  by the stats gurus and the  coaching staff?
