Game 38: Leafs @ Devils - Apr. 6, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

ok, I was wrong. *THAT* was the worst call I've seen since Kerry Fraser??..

 

[CarltonTheBear]

You get a penalty for holding onto a broken stick without playing the puck with it?

I'm pretty sure you can't be involved in a play at all if you're holding a broken stick.

 

[PG]

I'm 99% sure that is a legit penalty.

Apparently. 

If they tie it up I can't blame Kule much.

 

[Bullfrog]

What a stupid penalty.

Puck over the glass. Playing the puck with a broken stick in hand. Hand on puck. etc. These shouldn't be penalties, but similar to icing calls.

Yep, just checked the rule - right call.

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man!!

 

[maplesyrup]

Yeah, baby!

I thought guys kicked the puck away all the time after their stick breaks before they can drop it.  Seems like a flaky judgement call.

Oh well we win.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Wouldn't be a leaf game without last minute heart palpitations.

Good win boys!

 

[ZBBM]

That was huge!  What a PK again!

What Hughson was saying about not being able to put your hand on the puck or something was wrong I think. That rule was only put in for faceoffs.

 

[bustaheims]

Well, not the prettiest of wins, but still a win. Full marks to Reimer on this one.

 

[pnjunction]

So who would've believed before the season started that our PK and goaltending would be stealing games...not me.

 

[PG]

HUGE win.

 

[ZBBM]

Seems weird to play the Devils in NJ on a Saturday night.

I'll say.  Hockey Night in Newark? 

Anyway, a big game.  A loss will leave the team wondering, just a bit, about the possibility of a slump.*  A win would demonstrate some resilience after a bad let-down game and loss of Lupul.  Needless to say, hoping that we can solve Marty.

* Count on Healy to run this storyline into the ground....

A+ effort, lads.  Led wire-to-wire.  Reimer was terrific.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

That's a key 2 points for the playoff push.

Also, we have what, 21 ROW now?  If it came down to that, we have a nice cushion on a number of teams.

Ok what stuck out for me with a PK final minute was RC rallying his troops behind the bench preparing for the last few seconds.  Think back to a passionless RW and suddenly RC's lineup decisions fade a little bit for me.

3rd most in the league (4th if the Habs hold on).

Nice to watch this Bruin Habs game after a Leaf win.
