2 shots 2 goals. I can be the goalie for the Leafs.

Blaming Reimer for those is baloney.

No it's not.  Do your team a favor and make a tough save.  I am so sick of people saying the goalie had no chance.  Make a tough save, that is why you are in the NHL.

Making a tough save is one thing, that kind of hyperbole blaming a goalie is entirely another, those were high quality chances.

I didn't say I blame Reimer, I said I could be the goalie for this team. I can provide the Leafs with 0 save percentage at much lower salary.

Campbell's playing pretty well, no?

 

[Erndog]

Thank heavens my Pacers are good this year.

I'm going to stick with that.

This game is easily winnable.  Leafs just need to get 3 by a steady looking Theodore and not let Florida get any more shots on net.

Yep, let's sit the only guy who gets the puck on net from the blue line.

I know they won't sit Dion, despite the fact he misses the net 91% of
the time.

You must be watching a different game than I am. Franson hits shinpads in front of him or missed the net the majority of the time. Of course Dion misses more often than he does but I have yet to see Franson hit the net more that a couple times a game. Sit them both and bring up Holzer! Just because I want to see what he's got.

Palmy love your name and the mask. Definitely my favorite Leaf goalie of all time. But think I have to side with lama on this one. I think Franson does a better job at getting shots through reason being he doesn't try to put it through the boards. More often than not he usually takes a wrist or snap shot. With Dion on the other hand it's usually a missile with no GPS. You see any of our forwards screening the goalie on the PP. 2 reasons for that. One Wilson doesn't have a clue how to run a PP and second why would you with Phaneuf shooting the puck. He has no clue where it's going.

Uh, the PP was fine for a good long time this year, that Liles hasn't been contributing is more of an issue to me.

Exactly man, this PP goes as Liles goes.  Has little to do with Wilson, we have seen the same PP breakout since he started.

I don't expect them to score 2 or 3 PP goals a game but thing that bothers me is it's so inconsistent and most often than not a waste of 2 minutes. They do the same s**t over and over and usually passing it around the perimeter until they get a good shot. When it's not going and lately it hasn't change things up and I always say keep it simple with shots from the point and someone in front which we don't do. You can blame Liles, Phaneuf whoever it's not just one guy.

I showed up just in time to say: 'We're down 1 nothing?" to see the second goal. Then my browser had the good grace to crash it was so offended.

Gotta love the caption on the Sportsnet feed. Shots on goal Panthers 2 Leafs 6.

Ah, right, fair enough.

I agree he's slumped but what really bothers me is the contarct Burke gave him. Not so much the dollars but the length.

 

[Erndog]

Wilson:  "We played 8 minutes without allowing a shot on goal.  That's what good teams do.  That's what elite teams do... We just played 2 bad minutes and they scored a couple."

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

maybe this is the leafs way of asking for a coaching change

 

[Kin]

At least the lack of Florida shots means the crowd didn't get the chance to sarcastically cheer an easy save.

 

[itsgametime]

Frattin has been excellent

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

Frattin has been excellent

i think he's looked good for most of the time he's been called up..but that might just be because he's the only player on the team that consistently takes the play to the net ..he uses his size effectively ...i hope his finish comes along

Wilson:  "We played 8 minutes without allowing a shot on goal.  That's what good teams do.  That's what elite teams do... We just played 2 bad minutes and they scored a couple."

This team comes out flat WAAAY too much.

 

[Kin]

Frattin has been excellent

Burke agrees. In fact, he's already been signed to a 4 year/16million dollar extension.

 

[pnjunction]

How does Kulie not score there? Oh right his hands turned to stone last summer.

 

[BermudaBudsFan]

With partial new ownership, I think Burke's job may well be carefully reviewed shortly.
