Game 43: Leafs @ Capitals - Apr. 16, 7:00pm - TSN, TSN 1050

[azzurri63]

Game over. Team needs to get their head out of their as**s and soon. I'm hoping we play Mtl in the 1st round because If it's Boston we're done.

Turning to the Jays tonight.  Johnson is throwing well and the Leafs are completely disinterested.

 

[Damian]

eww

We stink dudes...

Seeing as the Leafs only played about 6 minutes last night, you would think they would bother to show up.  Good thing Carlyle sent a message by taking out that bum Matt Frattin.

And MacArthur.  Not like we need some players who can play offensively.

Randy's dislike of MacArthur is pretty baffling. He excels in pretty well any role.

 

[azzurri63]

Listen to the TSN announcers. Back to back nights. Yeah Should be tired if they played hard last night. Only one with tired legs should be Reimer and he's on the bench.

Disinterested? This is how they've played all year.

Jeez what a poor effort (outside the goalies) the last two games

These guys start planning the parade after the Montreal game or what?

Well we'd better not drop to 6th

Frattin - 1pt in 12 games, MacArthur - 1pt in last 6. Not much offense from those two.

 

[TML fan]

MacArthur also treats the puck like a hand grenade he just pulled the pin on.

What the Caps are doing to the Leafs

LOL totally agree

Well at least we might get some offensive zone time on this PP...but if the PP is our only source of offense the playoffs are not going to go well

Players slump.  They play a far more complete game than either Orr or McLaren.  You can even then spread the ice time out more evenly, especially on a back to back.

EDIT: Orr has 1 point in 20 games. McLaren has 2 in 18.  At least MacArthur & Frattin are players that have skill beyond fighting and lucking their way into a couple points every now and then.  Way better options if you're just going to healthy scratch them.

Like I said earlier in the thread, the criticism that we've been playing over our heads is something you can't dismiss out of hand.  Not so much because of this game -- you're going to get some duds every once in awhile no matter what -- but because we've been getting outshot by so much so consistently.  That's worrisome.

The first PP unit sometimes.  They had the puck in the zone with absolutely no control for an entire minute of wasted time.

grabovski = snakebit!

Could you not say this about almost every PP unit in the league?  Unless I don't know what the criticism is, but it seems to be that sometimes they don't succeed.
