Game 28: New Jersey Devils vs Toronto Maple Leafs OTL3-2

[bustaheims]

The fact that Sportsnet employs Marty McSorley is an embarrassment.

Why? Because he did what alot of fans were hoping someone would do for years,

Cowardly smash someone across the head from behind? I don't care who was on the receiving end of that, it was and still is a disgusting incident.

They only good thing so far is the devils have had 3 PP's so u know we'll get our chance and here it is. Let's take advantage boys and change this game around.

Holy crap!  The Devil's have given up more short handed goals than power play goals. 

The Leafs need to take more penalties!

 

[Strangelove]

Grabo is lacking a lot of the confidence he had last year.  He seems to be rushing things offensively - the creativity and skill isn't really there.

 

[azzurri63]

Been impressed with Gardiner all year but someone needs to tell him to shoot the puck.

 

[L K]

Lupul hooked 2-3 separate times with no call.

On the bright side: it turns out that "Studies Show Russian Girls areHighly Attracted to 'Western Men'."

Unfortunately, we seem to have drawn Marty Circa 2000 tonight.

Lupul hooked 2-3 separate times with no call.

The one was so blatantly obvious that it's just ridiculous. The way the game has been called the past couple seasons (for all teams) is absolutely unacceptable. The officials and the league should be ashamed of themselves. It's an embarrassment.

 

[Strangelove]

Kessel is one hell of a good passer this year.  i've seen a MASSIVE improvement in that regard.  Last year he'd cross the blueline, try a weak move and promptly lose the puck.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Philthy!

 

[bustaheims]

Kessel with a lucky bounce. Kablammo.

 

[Jeremiad]

Kessel! Finally.

 

[ZBBM]

Nice rush!  That's a good goal.

 

[L K]

I don't see a kick there....Kessel's awful drought is over.

 

[ZBBM]

Lockdown with the assist.  He's my MotM so far, great game.

 

[TML fan]

Nice! Kessel!!

 

[Fanatic]

Kessel's drought ends at 6 games.

That may have been lucky, but you gotta be good to be lucky.  ;D

That may have been lucky, but you gotta be good to be lucky.  ;D

You seem to like to mention this "drought", but given the rate at which Kessel has consistently put up points (goals or not) and given how well he's been playing, I think you're doing him a pretty big disservice calling it that.

So, Kulemin gets the stick knocked out of his hands and he gets the penalty?
