Game 34: Panthers @ Leafs - Mar. 26, 7:00pm - Sportsnet, Fan 590

I don't know what's going on with SOG lately but I do know that you aren't going to win tons of games when it's 3:1 in favor of the other team.

To be fair, I think after the Florida goal that the Leafs are outplaying Florida.  Kind of hard to play through the neutral zone trap.

And to be even more fair, Florida is pretty much shooting from anywhere everytime they enter the zone.  Lots of long wrist shots.

Good points, both.

Still, we need to generate more shots.

To be even fairerer, if our guys keep missing the net and one or two more of those leaks past Scrivens we're going to lose this game

To be fair, I think after the Florida goal that the Leafs are outplaying Florida.  Kind of hard to play through the neutral zone trap.  Florida seems to get away with a lot of those little hooks and the long rub-outs along the boards where they are really just impeding your ability to come in on the forecheck.

Well, not to state the obvious or anything but Florida's record would kind of imply that it's not exactly an impenetrable defense.

Hmm, if we keep missing the net and they score we will lose?  You may be on to something there!

So rumour has it Miika Kippersoff won't report to his new team if he is traded. That's just low, imagine if all players did that? He should be report, geez.

What I'm getting at is that we're on the express to that happening, the skaters squatting to drop another egg in front of Scrivens.

It's really just someone quitting their job with the caveat that he can't just go out and get a new one. I don't see the problem.

I'm guessing, Ryan, that you don't have children.

Going through apparently complicated child birth recently it is understandable

We'll see if this plays out:

Here's the thing - Markstrom is legit good - .923 sv% or so - and the Panthers should win the possession battle. Leafs are in tough.

We're good it was a bit of a captain obvious.

I wonder what the stats for Scrivens goal support are looking like these days.  He's 6-8-0 and 2.63 GAA while Reims is 11-4-4 with the exact same GAA.

 

[Kin]

That invisible 3rd defenseman the Panthers have out there really is a beast.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Markstrom's last 3 games: .971 SV%, .978 SV%, .971 SV%

Markstrom's last 3 games: .971 SV%, .978 SV%, .971 SV%

He's averaged 37 shots against in those games - the problem for the leafs is they look like they will have trouble even getting 27 shots tonight.

Keyser Soze!
