Capitals @ Leafs - Nov. 23rd, 7:00pm - CBC, SN 590

[L K]

Holland 5:36 in ice-time, Kessel 5:31, JVR with 5:21. The only forwards with less time in the 1st were the 4th line guys.

Maybe he's hurt, but aside from the tape on his wrist there is absolutely nothing in Kessel's game that would indicate he is playing hurt.  His shot looks as good as it always does.  He's skating well and he's getting back defensively.  I think it's just Carlyle having a young forward on that line and being insensibly rigid with the notion that you don't play young kids.  Rather than double-shifting Kessel/JVR he just wastes them on the bench.

What was that call??

What was that call??

2 minutes for not liking having a guy wrapped around your leg?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Yeah that was a brutal call.

 

[Strangelove]

How an NHL ref could not see what was happening when he called that penalty is beyond me.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

How is that a penalty?  That doesn't make sense if they don't take both of them.  They ignore Clarkson being hooked at the end of the 1st then get the Leafs for one early in the 2nd then this?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Interesting PK for the Leafs, they have a guy directly on Ovechkin the entire time.

Thank God they killed that PP by Carlson.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Well there's the make up call.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Almost 10:00 into the period without a shot?

 

[bustaheims]

Well there's the make up call.

Yeah, though Fehr's lucky he didn't get a 2nd penalty for that cheap butt-end as the refs were coming to get him.

Vintage Carlyle hockey!

 

[ZBBM]

That's why we're paying him!

Yeah I caught that too. On Rielly I think.

Nice tip by Clarkson. Might not count though - that's close to being too high. Very close.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Still no goals for the Leafs defencemen, but that's hardly the first goal caused by a shot from the point like that.

It's all going according to plan!
