Canucks @ Leafs - Feb. 6th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

Safe to say Simmonds has been the biggest surprise of the new additions this year .

 

[Hobbes]

Simmonds is phenomenal.  It kind of sucks we will only get one year of him because he is going to get paid nicely next year

Never know...he might enjoy the situation so much that he'll take less to hang around. So far he's been another decent low-risk bet from Dubas.

 

[ZBBM]

My God, Matthews is just off the charts.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Seems a lot of plays die every time the puck leaves Vesey's stick. Surely Engvall is better than this dude.

Yup. Seems that way. I still hope he can find his game but I don't think it's going to happen.

 

[Deebo]

The score line still flatters the canucks, as does the shot clock.

 

[ZBBM]

Lehtonen is having one heck of a game

He is still warming up in the DZ speed, but dude can thread a maze of legs and sticks to get the puck on goal

Shown that as the 2PP D.

 

[Guilt Trip]

My God, Matthews is just off the charts.

Best player on the ice. Imagine the assists he'd have if he was passing to a guy like him?

 

[azzurri63]

Great to see no let up regardless of the score.

You still have to hit your shot when given gummies goals because guys do miss them but yeah with Thornton getting closer to a return I wonder if he finds himself out of the lineup when Jumbo comes back.  I don?t think Vesey does the same things out 4th liners are doing

 

[ZBBM]

Oh boy.  Matthews might get 50 this year

Given the quality of the competition in the division....  stiil unlikely, but he looks like a 1980s player out there.

He gave the puck up in the o zone about 7 minutes ago, and usually the guy who coughs it up is the fastest guy on the ice. He just sulked his way back to center even though the canuck was catchable and then went to the bench

 

[L K]

Muzzin and Holl haven?t had the best game tonight

 

[louisstamos]

That's a 5-0 penalty call.

 

[Deebo]

I think Robertson should be ahead of Vesey too.

Said it beginning of year no reason he doesn?t play. Has the tools, smarts. Let him get accustomed to the league and he?ll be fine. Great signing in my opinion.

 

[Phileas Fogg]

Why is that a penalty? He tapped his stick. That's it. Are stick checks no longer allowed?

Very true. I think he'll go on the 4th line when Joe comes back before going on waivers.

They don't want guys hacking the hands. Not sure he hit his hands.

 

[L K]

Freddy has been solid today.  Not a tough night but he has been really comfortable in the crease.

 

[ZBBM]

It's crazy that Matthews has just 1 hat trick since his debut game scoring 4.
