Game: 49 Maple Leafs at NYIslanders 7:00PM RSO

[Kin]

Isles are 9-0-3 when they score first and take a lead to the second period.  Turn it off?

Not to point out the obvious but that would seem to indicate that 25% of the time they still end up losing. Those aren't great odds or anything but, I mean, it's not bad either.

 

[Derk]

Just got home. Sounds in here like the Leafs haven't played so well. Shots 8-4 after 1? Sounds dull.

 

[Kin]

Yeah, we get it, Wilson has coached a lot of games. So did Gene Mauch. It's really not that impressive.

leafs need to find a way to win this one..i know the islanders are probably a bit better than their record...but i have to believe that the leafs are the better team ...they have to show it

Fair enough.  I'll stick around for the second.

[TML fan]

I did not like Grabovski at all that period. And waaaaay too many giveaways from the team as a whole.

"How long would he have lasted in Philly?"

 

[Propellertop]

Some nice crosschecking. Perhaps someone could crank Tavares one?

 

[Deebo]

That attack on  by Tavares looked completely unprovoked.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

They might want to call a crosscheck here and there. The Isl's got away with more than one there.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Someone needs to fill Tavares in, that's Gustavsson and Komisarek he's tangled with in two minutes.

 

[Zee]

Showing some more life here. One of these chances will go in.

 

[Mikhail Bloodnovsky]

Leafs are just awful at the defensive zone coverage.

 

[ZBBM]

To be honest I think we've been pretty good on offense.  It's in our own zone that -- surprise -- we tend get questionable.

But I note Komi has had at least a couple of blocks.  He's doing his work.

 

[bustaheims]

Ahh, the good old "hurry up and get this game over with" officiating tonight.

 

[princedpw]

does anyone have an online feed?

 

[ZBBM]

Uh, Phil -- don't bother trying to do that.

 

[lamajama]

Boy that was an amazing amount of defense of your MVP.

The Islanders have been taking liberties with Kessel every shift in the second since I started watching.  I haven't seen an ounce of "retribution" from anyone else in the lineup.  Where the hell is the fight in this team?
