Flames @ Leafs - Feb. 22nd, 7:00pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

OK we're screwed.

But with a 5/3, you have to get it to 34 more.

Useless passing and moving around for nothing. Just don't get their mentality 5 on 3. Get it to the net or give it to Matthews.

They've been good five on three til then.  But yeah it drives me crazy when they just lope it around for 10 or 15 seconds once they get control.  Attack and create chaos around the net.

All they did. Oh well I wasn't expecting a win tonight not with Hutch in net but win some lose some. Hopefully they get a few bounces in the 3rd but I have my doubts.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Well as meh as those 2 periods were the Leafs aren't getting dominated or anything. Game's still winnable. I'd probably break up that top line though for the 3rd.

Agree even though the Leafs have had some really good chances and almost goals. Puck  luck isn't with them so far.

 

[ZBBM]

Thanks O'Neill, yeah don't waste time.

 

[Champ Kind]

Mangia folded faster than a cheap lasagna.

I don?t know what this means exactly, or why a cheap lasagna would fold more quickly than an expensive one, but boy did it ever make me laugh.

 

[lamajama]

If the Leafs pull this outta their behind I will be truly impressed.

They are so out of sync.

 

[ZBBM]

OK, 88 and 91 with 94.

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

Leafs haven't been great, but I think they've been the better team with better and more chances. Sometimes you lose these games.

 

[Champ Kind]

Hutchinson in net. Oh boy. No confidence in this guy whatsoever. Prove me wrong Mikey.

K bro you'll witness it.

I'll just leave now

This is what you get when you have to sign scrubs to fill in spots.

Yeah, the Leafs really should have signed a NHL calibre guy to be their 4th goalie.

Hard when you don't have cash to spend.

I think you missed the joke.  They had 3 NHL goalies and lost Dell to waivers, now two are injured.  Hutch is the best you can expect

Ya I did miss that. Also I'm not one to crunch numbers, cap issues etc but why didn't they put Hutch on waivers? If that was possible I'd rather see what Dell could do. We saw what Hutch did last year and for the life of me no idea why he was brought back.

I?m just catching up so forgive me if it?s a repeat but of course Hutchinson was on waivers, and he cleared.  The Leafs broke camp with three goalies and had to waive Dell when injuries started.

I think the fact you just seem to assume management doesn?t know what it?s doing undercuts your credibility, which is a shame because aside from a few obvious biases I think some of your observations are quite valid.

Big save Dave has horseshoe butt tonight

Rittich > Ayers (?)

 

[ZBBM]

3-0.  Too many penalties.

There's not much competition for MotM but Hutchinson has been far from our worst player tonight.

 

[Guilt Trip]

That was a brutal penalty call on Lehtonen.

He's been fine. One of those games it seems where nothing works.

 

[ZBBM]

Post after post after post.

 

[lamajama]

Maybe Morgan can stay at the blue line instead of pinching in with the puck and passing it to a Flames player?

 

[herman]

Willy has set up Barabanov a couple of times this period

 

[Chris]

What a frustrating game. I will say that I think Barabanov is showing some ability here and deserves some more ice time.

Agree..

He hasn?t been the worst, but that first goal set a bad tone for the game. Yes, Tavares tipped it, but was still one that shouldn?t have leaked through the way it did. And, on the third one, it looked like he didn?t know where the puck was when he kicked it right to the Flames forward in front of the net.

He just hasn?t looked comfortable all night, and that has not helped inspire confidence.

 

[Champ Kind]

Rittich is making saves but has no idea where the puck is

 

[herman]

MotM for Calgary is Iron
