Game 15 - Panthers @ Leafs - Tues 11-08 - 7 PM SportsNet

[Fanatic]

Well, that just happened.

Of course it did.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Well, that sucked.

 

[Kin]

That was unlucky.

 

[Scot4bz]

Awful.

 

[ZBBM]

No Millen, Bowen was right he got bumped.

 

[Derk]

Poor defensive play by Schenn, poor play on the puck by Gus. Result: 1-0 Florida. Watch out now for the trap to really take effect.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Yeah, clearly Gustavsson was bumped by Kulemin checking the other player.

 

[Arn]

Yup, Kulemin took his leg away to stop him pushing back off it. Not much Gus could do about it really

Honestly I don't really think it was either. If that puck does anything other than hit Schenn's foot and completely die then I think it's a good play by both guys.

 

[Bender]

What happened exactly? Looked like Goose's stick got caught up and he held on for the ride.

 

[Redleaf]

If FLA go up by two, it's gonna let the doubt creep in to the Leafs again. Gus and the D better sharpen up.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Why are you showing me Boston goals? I don't want to see that.

I think Gus reacted to the play, and couldn't recover from his butterfly due to bumping Kulemin.

 

[Bullfrog]

Looks like he got his stick stuck on Kulemin who pulled him out of position. Bad luck on that.

 

[Deebo]

Marco Sturm, another one I didn't know was in florida.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Marco Sturm, another one I didn't know was in florida.

Just got traded there in the Booth deal, I believe.

 

[4th Liner]

Blah, I know he got bumped, but it still appeared that Gus was jittering about when he just needed to stand his ground. We've seen this before. Reimer and Scrivens are "quieter" in the net than he is. I think sometimes a goalie can be the source of his own grief.

He got pulled away by Kulemin.  If that doesn't happen, he is in position in his butterfly like he is supposed to be.

Too much jittering!

It's amazing how standing still = not your fault, but a guy doing the right thing (which there is nothing wrong with being butterfly when you are a butterfly goaltender) = the cause of your own grief.  No goaltender can handle their forward pulling them out of position.  Not one of them.

The double standard in assessing the Leafs goaltending is getting way out of hand.

This period has certainly not been reassuring of the Leafs play.  I missed the first period up until the Florida goal, but there have been a half-dozen bad turnovers in the defensive zone already.  After two really bad games, and one big blow-out loss you would expect a better effort out of the team.  How was the first half of the period?
