oh boy, 5-3 PP coming.. will Kessel score ?

 

[Bullfrog]

Weak shot by Liles, but at least he didn't hesitate to put it on the net.

I think the more appropriate question is will ANYONE score?

The only thing I would say is that if you are going to fire a shot at the goalie on a 5 on 3 (with noone screening the goalie), shoot it low so there is the potential for a rebound.  Soft wrist shots aren't going to beat goaltenders unless they really screw up.

 

[lc9]

Can't score on the 5 on 3 and then Kessel takes a penalty. 

 

[Kin]

Seriously, Kessel. How did you go from being our best goal scorer to our worst?

And just for clarification by "our" I'm referring to the totality of the human race.

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

god they suck 5-3

 

[Bullfrog]

I want to see more one-timers from Kessel. He's got an absolute rocket of a shot.

 

[barney_rebel]

Well Kessel did something on the pp at least...

1 for 7 on the 5 on 3? Why do I love the Leafs so much?

They're pretty?

Kadri 1:54 of icetime.  Frattin 0:43.

 

[Coderaspberry]

One thing I've liked about Kostka is his stick - seems pretty active and fairly accomplished with the poke check.

Yeah, they pump them up before the game, so Carlyle could keep them fresh on the bench.

They're pretty?

maybe.. but they never put out.

 

[Kin]

jersey number for Hamilton? anyone?

48, it seems.

 

[Coderaspberry]

Some truly horrific clearing attempts so far.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I was wondering, Steckels been somewhat limited this year after being favoured last year. It could be argued that his value was in allowing the team to start with the puck. Now that they have changed the face off rules to penalise the use of your hand, is Steckels one of the guys who used his hands to win a lot of draws? If so that might be why we've seen his stock drop.

 

[ZBBM]

Just got here ... and we didn't score again on the 5/3???

The special ones make you wait.

Although 46 years is a bit much.
