Game 35: TOR @ NYI

[Zee]

*sigh*

We stink dudes.

 

[Erndog]

Slumpbusters.

Again.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Kadri was hooked to the ice right before there, too.

 

[lamajama]

Poor defensive coverage...again...Reimer seems to be fighting the puck too.

 

[ZBBM]

Grrrr.

We need to get more shots on net on Nabokov.  He's been suspect and we need to pepper him.

 

[Zee]

Should have started Gustavsson

 

[Derk]

Kessel can't score at one end and NYI comes back and scores.

Kadri was hooked to the ice right before there, too.

I honestly think he's going to get treated like Grabovski in this league.  A guy who plays with finesse in high-traffic areas and gets hooked/held/tripped/interfered and will never get the call.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Slumpbusters.

Again.

What?  Tavares was on a 3 game point streak, and only hadn't scored in 4.

So a Kesslump

And yet another game where the opposition is going to get more PP chances than us.

Not a great game from Reimer.  Bad rebounds tonight and he seems to get confused really easily by pucks in traffic.

 

[Erndog]

Tavares has 2 goals in 21 games.

There was a 5 minute segment on tsn today about his goal scoring slump.  They interviewed him, Capuano, and Okposo.

His goal scoring has been a problem this year.

I would have gone with Gus as well.  I guess they figure with not playing many games yet this year, and with the Christmas break, Reimer could handle it.

I honestly don't know what they can do differently.  They actually tend to have a lot of puck possession 5 on 5, they are fast (isn't that the old adage for drawing penalties?), and they aren't overly physical.  It makes absolutely no sense, and I'm completely stumped as to why they don't get calls anymore.  I honestly think it started to change when Burke was "boasting" about trying to arrange a fight with Lowe.

Yeah, the Leafs lead the league in vague, incalculable statistics.

Leaf hit from behind, no call.

I like that Kadri gets smoked, gets up and takes it hard to the net, and the same guy holds him as he drives to the net, too.

I'm never a fan of playing your goalie back to back.
