Game 25: Leafs @ Bruins - Mar. 7th, 7:00PM - TSN, TSN 1050

It's games like this that I want Kessel's dogass off the team.

Yeah, we need less highly skilled players.

Yeah, we need more highly motivated players.

You have no idea what his motivation is or isn't.  Every time he has a poor game the same effort/motivation stuff is trotted out like clockwork.

He's invisible against Boston, every time.  Psychoanalyze that.

:-( Seguin again.....

That's right Randy, roll that fourth line when chasing an equaliser.

Not sure if anyone posted this while I was offline, but did anyone catch what Orr did on a face-off off an icing?  Orr went to take the draw and purposely lined up wrong so he would be kicked out and Steckel came in - they never kick the 2nd guy out, so it guaranteed Steckel would take the draw.  Thought that was smart, although not saying it was Orr's idea.

Didn't catch it, but what was the point of that? Why didn't Steckel take it in the first place?

So that there was no risk of Steckel being kicked out and having to have Orr or McLaren take the draw.

---- Seguin.

The hockey gods hate us.

The Leafs are just comically bad when either team has their goalie out.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes

 

[TML fan]

Never really had control at the end there. Overall a good game.

 

[harps64]

Dion and Phil.......what a pair.

Chara's really good at shutting him (and many other top scorers) down.

 

[pnjunction]

Seguin with the empty netter too.  9 goals against us in this 8 game streak now I think

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

Never argued he wasn't.

Ya I was thinking somewhat the same thing. What a joke for a captain and never mind his inflated salary. Think he was on his ass more that last shift than his skates.

 

[jjjoejr]

Definitely frustrating to see guys like Kessel and Phaneuf struggling against the big bad Bruins. Phaneuf's lack of puck skills gets very apparent when he's under pressure. But he is what he is I guess.

There was a whistle and Carlyle could have changed him if he wanted.

LOL I know eh, he gets tired unlike other players what a looser.

 

[sneakyray]

hmmm...so with Lupul and Frattin back this Boston team isn't so scary anymore.

 

[TML fan]

So, will the 400 page discussion about Phil Kessel be in this thread, or.......?

 

[harps64]

I think Phaneuf is dragging Holzer down to his level.
