Bruins @ Leafs - Dec. 8th, 7:00pm - LeafsTV, TSN 1050

If it makes you feel any better Arn, being disappointed by the Leafs gave you the true Torontonian experience.

I do feel much more of a "real" Leaf fan now ;D



Think I might change my signature to "I saw Jay McClement Score"

Seems to be an issue with all the D, not getting in one-time positions so lanes are blocked off before shot can be taken.  Or that's my theory which is why I've wanted Phaneuf/Franson switched on the PP.

It blows my mind that we have to point this out every other week.

I don't know how Carlyle could watch this game and not see the benefit of dressing guys like Damigo and Holland and playing them over scrubs like Orr and Mclaren. The Leafs actually had offensive pressure from their bottom lines!

 

[Captain Canuck]

The only good thing was that Peter Holland had probably his best game as a Leaf with a goal and an assist and 3rd star of the game.
Hopefully this will get him some more playing time from Carlyle!
Everything else was just same old, same old vs. the Bruins as we still aren't quite good enough to beat them.

 

[ZBBM]

Missed this one too, but it sounds like a usual BOS dismantling of a team that had no business almost beating them last year in the playoffs.  Current injuries notwithstanding, we are about 2 levels down from them.

Julien attributed his jury-rigged team's success to the organization's focus on playing a two-way game, whether it be wearing a Boston or AHL's Providence jersey.

"The way we play is a very demanding way of playing but we feel our scouts and upper management have done a good job of giving us the types of players who can play that game," he said. "So even with the guys being called up, they play a very similar style back in Providence. And we're asking them to do the same thing here.
                                        ------


"The first period it seemed like we had our legs, we were doing a lot of things," said Toronto coach Randy Carlyle. "Then we take the one penalty and their (tying) goal kind of flattened us and the next thing you know we're killing (a penalty) again right after. And it was bang-bang, all of a sudden they scored two goals and the life went out of our hockey club."

A depleted Bruins team was able to defeat a Toronto outfit that still can't figure out how to sustain a lead nor modify it's style.  Hmm.

Another missed game and just as well... This one was obviously well, 'ew.'

 

[Erndog]

Decent 1st. Terrible 2nd. Typically bad 3rd. Go Leafs. :-\

Coming in to post that same thing.

Holland looked very good at least.  Hope that continues.

I know a lot of folks here are very down on Clarkson but just watched the Game in 6 and severly doubt that Holland would have scored goal one without Clarkson smothering the Bruin goaltender on the play
