Game#19 Toronto @ Nashville 8 pm LeafsTV, AM640 blah blah blah

[Derk]

That one was lame, too.

I get that Fisher was near him but come on, he wasn't blocking Scriven's ability to be in position.  Scriven's let up and wasn't ready for the Leafs turnover of the puck.

Yeah looked like there was no screen either.  Went between his body and his arm.

Weird how he can be so good one minute and so bad the next.

 

[Derk]

Yeah that was a pretty obvious too many men there.

To everyone but the refs. And when the Nashville guy felt the stick on him, he dropped.

What was Steckel doing on that change?  I know he was gassed but it gave the Predators a 5 on 3 because the Leaf player had to come from the Nashville blueline all the way into their zone to get into the play.

 

[maplesyrup]

Lombardi gone to the dressing room... Perfect.

Don't you know, eight is enough. No penalty. ;D

 

[Derk]

What happened to Lombardi there? Even the replay wasn't clear.

And now of course the feed drops again.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Did someone anger the hockey Gods?

Looks to me like he might have been stepped on or something. Really hard to tell.

We don't know yet... Tweeked something... Hand, shoulder, wrist? Could be anything.

Barry Trotz is a genius.

I'm pretty sure Kessel's skates are going to break in a minute or two.

So I was out of town and didn't see/hear about Grabovski and MacArthur both being out. Can someone explain to me why we didn't call up a forward to replace someone?

Because Jake Gardiner can play forward, defense, and right field.

Mac didn't go on IR, carrying 7 D + Orr + Rosehill = 23 man roster.

No room on the 23 man roster, Mac didn't go to IR, connolly came of the IR for grabovski going on.

I thought I saw him grab his wrist when he went down.  I think he maybe jammed his wrist when he put his stick on the ice.

 

[maplesyrup]

Have to think we see Colborne on Sat. if Lombardi can't play...

 

[bustaheims]

Because, unlike what they said during the broadcast, the team didn't announce that MacArthur would necessarily miss more than tonight's game.

 

[maplesyrup]

.. Or Kadri I suppose.

 

[bustaheims]

With him just on the verge of coming back from an injury, I doubt it. Leafs will still have 4 healthy centres on the roster even without Lombardi. More likely Kadri comes up if the injury is significant.
