Game 13 - Leafs @ Bluejackets - Thursday November 3rd, 2011 - 19:00 EST - 4-1 W

Awesome...Gardiner gets blown by, Scrivens makes the save and then gives Gardiner a tap on the shin, just to say, "I got you bud."

 

[Redleaf]

Thought Mac should have shot there too.

I want to call it a Mac-trick if he gets another one.

 

[leafplasma]

We all knew Scrivens was special right

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Am I right in thinking that the puck has to be in over the line before the player?

Nash skated in backwards, body first, which should've been offside, no?

Not if you're in full control of the puck

Really? I thought if a player tries to avoid a hit and say puts his skates over the line but keeps the puck behind the line, and then brings the puck in he puts himself offside. I'm relatively positive I've seen a player put himself offside more then a few times in many years of watching hockey.

Are you telling me I have false memories  :'(?

 

[Stebro]

Gustavsson probably would have had a shutout tonight, it's only Columbus.

No no, he would have scored as well.

 

[Deebo]

I cant stand this new Hockey Central theme. Every time I hear it, i expect Ron Maclean in  a roots sweater announce bobsledding is on next.

It seems to be the sportsnet theme, it sounds like what they play before the 20/20 updates on the fan.

 

[Stebro]

We all knew Scrivens was special right

Yes, he's been a potential all star ever since his first save with the leafs.

I'm pretty sure the puck carrier coming in skating backwards is an exception to the rule.

It certainly should be anyways. What sort of purpose would a rule against skating in backwards serve.

It would protect against hits from behind 

 

[Deebo]

Grabby got away with a trip there at the side of the goal.

 

[Redleaf]

Gustavsson probably would have had a shutout tonight, it's only Columbus.

I really don't think so.

 

[Mack674]

Yeah, Scrivens is pretty good.

 

[Zee]

Can we just give Scrivens man of the match now?

 

[bustaheims]

Fatigue is not the Leafs' friend tonight. Fortunately, Steve Mason was. ;D

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

"Scriiivens"

 

[Stebro]

we rule man?

 

[Erndog]

Fatigue is not the Leafs' friend tonight. Fortunately, Steve Mason was. ;D

Pretty much said it all.

They looked tired against Ottawa Sunday too.  Back to backs with travel is always tough.

Either way nice to steal the 2 points

 

[harps64]

Gunnarsson = awesome, maybe the most underated dman in the game.

 

[Britishbulldog]

we rule man?

;D

Usually in that case it's his teammates who go offside, but if he's trying to avoid a hit, maybe he doesn't have full control of the puck?

So now what to do with Scrivens, think he still goes down much the same way Reimer did last year until he came back for good.  He has done nothing but been effective at every level, much like Reims.
