Game 36: Leafs @ sens - Mar. 30, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

Liles is our best Dman tonight

Yes, he has.  Kostka has been very good too.  Their play, and Reimer's, getting totally overshadowed.  But what can you do??

I like how booing Alfredsson makes sens fans have to cheer when they are losing 4-0.

This has to sting Murray a little knowing that Burke took Kadri in the draft before he could

Sens fans have revisionist history now and claim Murray never wanted Kadri but wanted Burke to believe he did. Suuurreee.

Even if that's true, Kadri's making Murray look dumb.

It's absolutely not true. Burke went up with the intention of picking Kadri it wasn't Murray suddenly jumping up and saying "you should really take Cowen he's great!". Burke was taking Kadri whether Murray got up or not.

But he does not play while on bench, though  8)

?

The only flip side of Kadri?s phenomenal play is what his future contract will command in terms of dollars and lenght

 

[ZBBM]

Folks, the PK stats they are reciting right now is the reason this team has turned around after so many years in the wilderness.

The leafs have allowed 4 shots on the first 4 power plays.. That's pretty awesome.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Anybody know why Phaneuf hasn't been on the ice? Did I miss something?

EDIT: Nevermind.

No, I know that. I'm just saying that sens fans' new justification doesn't make Murray look any less dumb.

Well that is why you draft superstars no?

resting him cause we're up 4-0. No need to waste him against the sens .... perhaps it's to further rub into the noses of the sens ("look! we're sitting our #1 d man") Giving the bottom pairing more ice time.....

That and the goaltending which is a part of that - they  haven't been flashy but they've significantly reduced the softies/stoppable goals against.

Man what a game and a well deserved four day break for the Leafs.

There's been some blips and it hasn't always been pretty, but, overall, the Leafs are much better on the defensive side of the puck this season than they've been for a long time.

@leafspr Nazem Kadri is the first Leaf to record 2 hat-tricks on the road in one season since Wendel in 1993-94 season #Leafs #TMLtalk


Wow.

They just talked about how he plays when he's over 25 mins vs under 25.

22 games over 25 mins he's -11 and in 13 games under 25 mins he's +7. He's at 19 mins tonight so i doubt we see him much in the last 4 mins or so.

Looks like RC is finally figuring out how to manage Dion for the best.

Stay away from that stuff.

I thought that's what it was, but then I didn't see him anywhere, however as I wrote the post, he came on for a shift.

Don't mind me.

Ottawas penalty kill is noticeably less aggressive than it was earlier in the game.

 

[drummond]

Neil is such a coward
