Devils @ Leafs - Dec. 4th, 7:30pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

[ZBBM]

It appears Kessel has had a somewhat significant injury for a few weeks, it'd be nice if they let him heal.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but what makes you say he's hurt?  It's not like he doesn't have a history of going stone cold for periods.

He did have to skip out on practice the other day because of some soreness.

I will add Bernier to the list of players who are awful

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Brutal.

While this may not be Sabres & Preds awful, it doesn't feel much better.

Ferraro said at the start of the game that the Devils never score 5 goals.

Thanks Ray.

 

[Kessel Run]

When they're good, they're ok, when they're bad, they're baaaaaaaad...

Missing practices, not skating as he can, it's clearly a lower body injury, he's been in noticeable discomfort during games too.

 

[bakeapples]

OMG - it's like deja vu all over again!

 

[Jeremiad]

Some stats to note: NJ has the 4th worst PK in the league, and is the 6th lowest scoring team. They're also 0-3-2 in their last 5 games.

All signs that say the Leafs should win, which often means they'll play one of their worst games.

WOW holy negativity dude. Go Leafs Go

He was right -- negative and realistic.

I had heard that, but we're talking about a significant injury, supposedly.

This was a pleasant effort from our youthful Leafs lineup.

 

[azzurri63]

Shows you how far this team has to go to become a decent team give up five goals against a depleted Devils team that's missing key players and has trouble scoring goals at the best of times. One word pathetic. Chance to gain on the Habs with the games in hand and they let it slip away.

Kessel's been known to play through injuries quite a bit, even ones he maybe shouldn't be.

 

[Bonsixx]

Oh well, can't win 'em all!
At least you Reimer-aholics will probably see your boy back in net next game.

 

[TML fan]

No, you can't win them all, but you should beat the Devils.

Well, if you and Patrick are right then I agree with him, Kessel should be sat until he's better.  The 1st line can't afford an injured player as bad defensively as they already are.

 

[L K]

Kessel needs to sit after this effort.  I'm sorry but he's either playing hurt or he's being intentionally awful.  Absolutely no effort being made in either zone tonight.

 

[freer]

So does Bernier get the start against the VAN on Saturday. IMO he has been just as bad as the rest.
