I was just going to say Scrivens might regret holding onto that

Does that all the time I understand he's not that good with the puck but if you got a chance to move it you do. Blame the loss totally on him. 2nd goal was his fault also.
 
Scrivens made an awful decision to hold onto the puck, the Carlye wanted to make sure the stupidity wasn't outdone and didn't have Bozak take the draw.
 
I also question putting out Kostka and Gunnarsson there. Whichever other pairing that wasn't on the ice before the face-off would have been a better option.

Why would you not take the timeout there to use your best faceoff guy it boggles the mind.
 
I don't get all of the focus on the decision to hold the puck. It's the juggling the rebound that killed them.
 
That was lost by the goaltender tonight.  He played poorly on the goals as well as other points in the game.  Scrivens will learn from tonight and play better in the future.

Bishop with the 2nd star and Scrivens with the 3rd. What games were these yoyo's watching.

Could you really pick a couple of skaters that stuck out? It was a pretty mediocre game by everyone.

True the way they played that faceoff (no Bozak, Scrivens juggling) was the direct cause but if I recall the Leafs had 3 players to one Ottawa guy there.  The rest of the game could've been played in the other end.

Holding the puck was pretty questionable, but I'm more upset with Gunnarson's soft touch in front of the net.

I guess they figure that the face off in our zone didn't need to happen when Scrivens could have played the puck to the defenseman behind the net and got the puck out. It doesn't matter, Reimer would have held it also.
 
Two of Ottawa's goals tonight were 100% Gunnarsson's fault.  I think it's time for Liles or maybe even Komisarek to get back into the lineup in his place.

Saving it for overtime. For a minute I thought Ron was back behind the bench. Can't figure that out. Carlyle had the Bozak line out for the last minute which I don't agree with the way they defend. Get the game to overtime get your point and then take your chances.
