Phaneuf?? REALLY??? 2nd dumb penalty...

It seems you think all penalties are dumb penalties.

No. Unfortunately, the way we've been playing defensively, we certainly put ourselves in a position where we have to take a penalty or we force our rookie goalie in his first game up on the Big Leagues to keep making spectacular saves. Its not as if we've been trying to make his life easier.

Scrivens is looking awesome, he has made 2 or 3 saves already that Gus would have let in.

The best arguments are one's which cannot be proven or disproven.

I just like good debate, need subjectivity for that.

I think you missed the point of a certain Monty Python sketch.

PP....

 

[Stebro]

pretty lame pp

I guess checking from behind is allowed.

That hit on Komi has to be a boarding call.  That would have been called in the old NHL.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

I imagine Komisarke is going to hit someone hard sometime in the rest of the game.

Did Schenn add about 30 lbs this offseason - all around his gut?

 

[TML fan]

Maybe refs just decided to put their whistles away because they haven't made a good call all period.

I mean, it was from behind, but he didn't get his stick up around the hands, so....

The Leafs defensive play is really bad.  They are going to get burned pretty badly if they don't clean up how they are playing.  Scrivens has bailed them out a few times already.  Good start to his NHL career.

I think we can collectively say most on this site were concerned with our top 6 scoring etc at the beginning of the season but I agree the defense is looking like what needs to be addressed but some of that can be contributed to the forwards. Too many instances where the forwards make dumb decisions and put our D in tough spots. Totally agree this winning won't continue with soft play like this.

The first Phanuef penalty was a give away by Gunnarsson. Phaneuf took the penalty to avoid a clear break and a likely goal.

Joey Crabb got better.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

I'm pretty sure that was boarding on Liles. That player took at least 5 strides before creaming him.

Was Rick Nash, fyi.

 

[Fanatic]

Kessel is not the same guy that he was two weeks ago.

This is to be expected with a streaky/inconsistent player, I just hope he doesn't stay like this very long.

Neither of those penalties had anything to do with positioning though, depuis mishandled the puck and it allowed the Columbus player to walk in and Phaneuf took the penalty to prevent the goal and the other was after the whistle.

 

[Stebro]

Scrivens has been really good
