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

The Bruins should have about 40 obstruction penalties, and probably 5 from that last Grabovski line shift alone.

Yeah, its pretty bad.

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

Yeah, we need less highly skilled players.

I love how talented Kessel is, but I've counted three times tonight where he completely abandoned possession in the hope of not getting hit, it is pretty pathetic.

Grabbo. 

EDIT: No, McClem.

YESSS!

I saw one where he would have gotten absolutely KILLED.  I would abandon that, too.  He's not going to keep possession getting crushed and possibly concussed (see: Liles, J.M.).  He's not a big guy at all, he'll get killed if he doesn't avoid some of these hits.

McClement is a beast...do the Leafs have enough left to get another one?

 

[Kaberle15]

We still need another miracle!

Yeah, we need more highly motivated players.

Beautiful tip there. Textbook.

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

 

[Peter D.]

McClement has been the most pleasant surprise this year. I thought nothing of him when we signed him.

By far the best off-season sign in years!

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.

With 5' to go...

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?
