Game 20 - Capitals @ Maple Leafs - 7:00Pm ET

[Tigger]

One of the most complete periods this year - playing really hard on the puck. So far so good. Gus looks petrified any time the puck is near him - he should go.

...he's going to be kind of heavy, is this a union gig?

How on earth did he look petrified any time the puck was near him?

Very stiff - sitting way back in his net and tentative looking. That's how he appears from the stands. He did not really look all that comfortable in warmup either.

 

[Kin]

Always nice to see that a Gus start yet again turns into amateur psychology hour.

Very stuff - sitting way back in his net and tentative looking. That's how he appears from the stands. He did not really look all that comfortable in warmup either.

He was well out of his net, I think outside of the blue paint even, on a point shot from Carlson.  There weren't many shots, and it's already been pointed out how unfair it is to criticize him for the goal which deflected twice.

Keep up boys, nice game, solid effort so far.

 

[Tigger]

Very stuff indeed!

 

[Bender]

Frattin sounds like he has an old man voice

I did not criticize the goal. He is already down on the ice before the play is close. He does not look anywhere near as sharp/confident as I have seen him previously.

Frattin definitely needed to get his first goal and he definitely did that. Definitely

 

[Tigger]

He's fine for now.

 

[Sevax]

What a PP!

 

[pnjunction]

Yes! Nick puck movement there

 

[Kaberle15]

Bozak!

 

[Darryl]

Capitalize on the err Capitals penalty and it's 3-1 Leafs.

 

[maplesyrup]

Lupul with a nifty pass... What a player!

 

[ZBBM]

That was a nice move by Phaneuf to begin that sequence.

Yes! Nick puck movement there

I'm a verb and an adjective!

Hah

Really though lots of 'nick' thing things happening on that PP.  Phaneuf's play on the boards, the nifty blind pass that Kessel(?) did and then Bozie going to the net.
