Game 6 - Toronto Maple Leafs @ Boston Bruins L6-2

[maplesyrup]

Well this is disturbing.

 

[Scot4bz]

Exclamation point.

 

[pnjunction]

Yeah, they're just so much more comfortable playing 5 on 5.  It's very odd.  I would have expected the new assistants to have had some influence - I'm sure I read that one of them was working with the team on stuff he had seen in looking at video.

I don't have the numbers but I think we score the majority of our goals on the rush.  Once we're set up in the zone it's mostly just bumbling and few shots getting through.

So far outscored 13-2 in Gus' last 2 starts.  :-\

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man

 

[bustaheims]

kablammo.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Cue the comeback!

 

[azzurri63]

3 years and counting we still haven't figured out to play any sort of defence under Wilson.

 

[13th fan]

Grabbo nets his first one

 

[Bullfrog]

yay Grabovski?

Don't think i've ever seen him so sad after scoring a goal.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Pretty meaningless, but I like that it was in the middle of their inane chant.

 

[Arn]

Gustavsson has only faced the 40 shots so far with 8 minutes to go.

Me too, it shut them up in a hurry.

 

[bustaheims]

Grabbo nets his first one

Second. He scored opening night.

 

[Bonsixx]

Not to pin all of this on Gustavsson, but if he tanks in his next start, I'd be interested to see what kind of veteran backup the Leafs could acquire...

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Why are they so happy that Kessel has helped his team to be ahead of theirs in the standings?

Odd.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Gustavsson has only faced the 40 shots so far with 8 minutes to go.

I feel for the kid, he was playing up to par and then, just started fading away the more the Bruins scored.

 

[Deebo]

No he didn't

Lombardi and Phaneuf did.

Yup. I thought he was playing fine. The 5th goal was a softie however, but he kept it close for a while.

You know, I reckon if he went somewhere else he'd have a good career. I just feel for him cos it feels like it isn't going to happen in Toronto for the guy

Just got back with a few minutes left in the 2nd period and it seemed like a pretty balanced game...the score seems to indicate otherwise. Did they suck the 1st period?

Defense was shoddy in front of Goose, yeah. Bruins came out hard also. Franson is a 6' 4" pussy.

Yup, easy to deeply dislike Franson for his part in that 3rd goal. I agree.

Let's look on the bright side: he's been on the ice for four goals against tonight - Komi will be back !!  ;D

Before the season started, I was concerned for him because of all the hype. He was a 6/7 dmen in Nashville and that's probably about where he's at with this group. On the upside, he still young enough that he might improve.

Then he went against his agent's advice and shot his mouth off to the media after two games, potentially setting himself up as the whipping boy ... which is a tough act to live through in this town.
