Game 41: Detroit Red Wings vs Toronto Maple Leafs W4-3

[Propellertop]

Too much time in their own end....can't keep doing that or it's going to get dicey.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

That's too high.

The only angle they showed looked really high.

 

[Bullfrog]

From the replays they showed, I can't tell if it was too high or not.

 

[TML fan]

Inconclusive so call on ice stands.

 

[Propellertop]

Well, I hope that takes care of the 'laying back' that the Leafs appear to be doing. Get the 4th in and demoralize them...

 

[azzurri63]

Call a timeout Ron and wakeup the troops.

 

[TML fan]

They need to call a time out and regroup. The problem I'm seeing is that Detroit is always outnumbering us on the puck and the Leafs are not adjusting their play.

 

[azzurri63]

I just rewound my pvr and still don't understand why there wasn't an icing before the RedWing goal.

 

[TML fan]

10 minutes without a shot on goal...

Wilson doesn't have a clue when to use his timeouts. He'll call it when it's 3-2.

 

[Arn]

Awesome diving pokecheck by Gustavsson kept this as a 2 goal game there (for now).

 

[Propellertop]

I don't know why we're not pounding these guys. Toronto seems to be giving up alot of chances to put the body on the Wing's players in our zone.

1st period one of the best of the year.  2nd, one of the worst. So far anyway.

There was no whistle for a long time after the goal, and the next whistle is a TV timeout.  Why waste it?  You can't stop play for a timeout.

Right, let's disparage Wilson while the Leafs are up by 2 against Detroit.

10 minutes without a shot on goal...

I swear we had one, not that it makes a huge difference, but just for optics.

 

[L K]

Yet another team makes dressing room adjustments to dominate the Leafs in the 2nd period.  This teams really struggles when the opposition makes a change to their style of play. 

Detroit was sending two forecheckers and had the remaining three guys playing a triangle in the neutral zone.  The Leafs forwards cheat up the ice to make the defense try and feed the puck through a sea of Red Wings when Schenn/Franson needed a line-change because of a turnover by the forwards.  Stupidity.  They need to stop trying to stretch the Wings and make short passes.

There was no whistle for a long time after the goal, and the next whistle is a TV timeout.  Why waste it?  You can't stop play for a timeout.

And the review after the goal was pretty much as good as a timeout, so, really, where was the opportunity to use it?

Regardless of the situation, a coach should know when his guys need a good kick in the ass.

NJ/Pittsburg not going to OT woukd be nice.  That and the Leafs winning this game.
