Flyers @ Leafs - Mar. 8th, 7:00pm - CBC, SN 590

Carlyle logic.  Kadri is 9/14 on faceoffs.  Better pull him for the guy who is 2/8.
 
Phaneuf has made bad plays on all 3 opposition 3rd period goals the last two games. At some point this is bordering on being a pattern.

Because the 2nd unit is on the ice.  It has nothing to do with how bad Franson/Phaneuf have been.

How did he make a bad play when Kessel made a bad pass and he was left on a 2 on 1? Or when the puck deflected off him?  He didn't make bad plays on either of those.

Tonight? Absolutely. Beaten clean.

He's been pretty noticeably slow and weak defensively for a good while now, it seems, even when they don't happen to get scored on.

On the first one he had no idea where the puck was which was why he got hit by the floater. Watch the replay, he's not even looking at the play. It's why the puck hit him with his body pointed towards the net as opposed to the shot.

And on the 2 on 1, Phaneuf making a bad play doesn't mean Kessel didn't also. He pressured Stepan who threw it to Moore who then had the 1 on 0. The text book way to play a 2 on 1 is to take away the pass. Phaneuf did the opposite.
