Game 33: Kings at Leafs - Dec 19th 7pm SNETO (OTL3-2)

[Bullfrog]

he's also better offensively.

Ok, but if the Kessel line is producing as is doesn't putting Connolly there hurt the team's secondary scoring even more?

Seems logical, and is what I was thinking. I'm just passing on what the hockey commentators were saying earlier today.

 

[ZBBM]

Looks like he's switched Bozak back to Lupul and Kessel already? Or was it just that one off shift?

I'm totally confused.

I think Bozak is centring them on the PP, but, otherwise, it's Connolly - unless Connolly has just been on the ice on the PK . . . or, something like that.

One place it is nice to have Franson is on the PP because he FINALLY shoots it and usually gets it through

 

[Trevor]

I really like the movement on the PP, but little in terms of quality scoring chances so far.

 

[Arn]

Shots are something like 14-10 already. Offensive.

I was just going to say something similar. He's very good at getting the shot through.

I mean, when I heard it I thought it made some sense if the idea was to get some scoring out of the other lines but you take away the best defensive player of the three and add a guy who's probably better offensively?

Obviously I'm inclined to see it play out but it sure doesn't make sense to me at first glance.

I'm a little confused given that Connolly is on the ice on the PK right now, and Bozak is now centering Lupul and Kessel.

I am happy Connolly is out there.  Honestly, I will puke if I see Dupuis

Call the instigator.  I dare you.

 

[pnjunction]

Pretty borderline I think you can make the case he turned

 

[Bullfrog]

Ouch, Schenn outweighs him by around 50 lb.

 

[Kin]

Kind of dumb on Greene's part there.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Or roughing.  That works.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

Phaneuf, you are a dumb@$$

 

[Bullfrog]

Call the instigator.  I dare you.

I'm fine with a fight in that situation. Staged hits and fighting over clean hits is silly.

 

[azzurri63]

Phaneuf, you are a dumb@$$

Agreed

 

[Kin]

Captain Meathead strikes again.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Come on, that stuff happens all game without being called.

 

[pnjunction]

*facepalm*

Yeah let's keep trying our luck on the PP with bonehead moves like that
