Game 55: Maple Leafs @ Flyers, 7:00Pm, Battle of #1 Goalies?

What a shock that Phaneuf doesn't tie up the stick of a man in front of the net.  The Leafs really haven't shown up yet.
 
You know Phaneuf had an opportunity to clock Hartnell but just bear-hugged him instead. Not sure what I'm saying here but I'm just sayin'.
 
I'm sure the Hartnell/Phaneuf fight was based on the "suck it" comment from the Allstar game.  Looked like he said it again.

We've got absolutely nothing going so far. What a garbage effort to start.

I don't see a poor effort by the Leaf's so much as a big mismatch.  Philly as a team is similar to Boston, but with more of a slant towards offense than defense.

Either way, that type of cycle game is not something the Leafs stack up well against.

I guess you're one of the few. Bad passes, can't clear the zone, nothing on the PP, bad penalties, no possession.....shall I go on?

Reimer's been a very busy man.
 
Leafs get a PP and it turns into a 2-1 for the flyers and penalty against the leafs.

I don't understand poor efforts like this.  I got my ass kicked a lot playing hockey growing up, but effort was never a problem.
 
Maybe we don't want to make the playoffs in case we  get drawn against these guys or Boston :o

That's all he does now. Don't know what happened to him but I can remember him in junior and when he was drafted he seemed like a better fighter.
 
Gord Miller jinxing the PK - just like he jinxes shutouts (I can say that because I want to jinx the Philly one..... ;)

I can't blame him for bear hugging. Why bother these days when all you would be punching is hard plastic.
