Game 40 - Winnipeg Jets vs Toronto Maple Leafs W4-0

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Yes, Bozak has been very good this year and has been playing extremely well with Phil and Joffrey.  He's been real solid defensively for that line and contributing offensively.

Yeah. Having him in creates better balance on the team.

I'll third that. Bozak is paying for last years curve exponentially. He's been much, much better.

That was a great looking game.  Nice passing and cycling, not too many turnovers, and a lot of good efforts.  The big stories tonight were that Gus looked confident and collected, and that the team managed to stay out of the sin bin.  The reffing was a little wonky, but at least it went in Toronto's favour for once.  Even including what I felt were 2 or 3 non-calls, I think they played a pretty cautious, clean game.

Hope Phaneuf is okay.  That looked ugly.

This seems a bit cheap:

The Swede looked unflappable against the Jets, failing to lose his cool even when Jets defenceman Randy Jones tossed a potential souvenir puck into the stands. .

yeah ...i thought the same....i didn't actually see it happen..so i'd like to think it was just something he did without thinking about it

4-1 Toronto, a Gustavsson shutout, first one is free.

Almost.

Not as much to complain about this game.

Excellent win by both Gustavvson and the team.  That's 2 wins in a row so far in this homestand.  Looks like we're putting a little winning streak of sorts together.

Keep it up!  GO LEAFS GO!!

Clearly there was something wrong with the thread.

Yeah. Having him in creates better balance on the team.

If by balance you mean being hemmed in your own end a lot more, then I agree.  I will admit, Bozak has improved in his own end but he is not the type of player that can effectively seperate his man from the puck, nor can he skate the puck out of his end to safety like a Grabovski or Lombardi can.

Winnipeg put forth the worst effort I've seen by a team this year. They played for 5 minutes at the end of the second. Easy win for the Leafs.

Nice shutout for Gus. He looks like a totally different goalie compared to the one who showed up at the beginning of the year.
