Bruins @ Leafs - Nov. 26th, 7:00pm - TSN4, Fan 590

I think a lot of people consider Pastrnak much better than Nylander because Pastrnak is the trigger man on a line that he doesn?t really need to worry about defense.

It's an interesting point.  He gets to play most of his time with guys like Bergeron and Marchand and Chara on defense.

 

[lc9]

Hainsey has to be better.  He is sold as a PK specialist and so often he whifs on the puck and it ends up in the back of the net. 

 

[Guilt Trip]

Leafs can't clear and it's in the net. Dermott drifting to the middle and left Pastrnak alone. Leafs had 3 chances to clear.

 

[lc9]

Another goal brought to you by Ron Hainsey's inability to clear the puck.

It?s frustrating how poor of penalty killer he is and yet Babcock leans on him as if he is chara. 

 

[Phileas Fogg]

It's sour grapes now, but I don't think that Lindholm deserved a penalty. His stick was on the Boston players hip, the player grabbed it with his hand and pulled it into his midsection.

 

[lc9]

Also, it?s incredible how few power plays the leafs get.  2 of their last 3 games no power plays.  None so far tonight.

Agreed. Weak call.

 

[ZBBM]

Is there a reason we suddenly decided to stop playing defense?

 

[Zee]

I love how the Bruins never seem to take a penalty against the Leafs. Almost like they become all gentlemanly

Hainsey has to be better.  He is sold as a PK specialist and so often he whifs on the puck and it ends up in the back of the net.

I don't think that's true at all. What are the leafs rated in the league in penalty kill? And it was Dermott that had multiple chances to clear.

After that PK they are about 15th.

 

[Phileas Fogg]

Sportsnet has them at 12th

Leafs can?t even touch the puck.

Hainsey actually sucks though

1 shot in 12 minutes.  Not great Bob.

I don't think he sucks. I don't think he should be on the first pairing, but that's hardly his fault.

 

[lc9]

Leafs go to the PK again.  Still no PPs.  I repeat. 2 of the last 3 games without a PP and none tonight.  That isn?t coincidence.

He sucks.

Not sure how to avoid a too many men penalty when they dump the puck into your line change.

 

[herman]

I like the way Boston cycles on their PP. It?s the same play over and over again but with whoever has moved into that position.
