[crazyperfectdevil]

the thing i like about the leafs ..is they always suck at the things they say they want to be good at ..you know..like being tough to play on home ice..

Can we decline the penalty?

 

[Bender]

Those shots from the point just aren't working.

 

[Zee]

Ovechkin scored huh?  I'm completely surprised and by that I mean I'm not surprised in the slightest.

 

[L K]

Alright!  Time for 2 minutes of Phaneuf on the point.

 

[Kaberle15]

Can we decline the PP ?

 

[Edeagle]

Kessel has been playing well and his lack of goalscoring is definitely related to bad luck, but I kind of feel like this forcefeeding him minutes isn't doing the team a service.  Play him constantly when he's scoring because they guy scores at will when he's hot.  I think you need to temper his minutes when he isn't scoring because playing him 26 minutes a game when he isn't scoring doesn't help the team when you have other guys that are producing offensively too.

He may be the best passer on the team.. Him or Grabbo.

 

[TML fan]

Ok the Leafs have been given every chance to win this game. Can they at least tie it?

 

[TML fan]

Guess not....

 

[lc9]

Aghh, another PP with nothing to show for it.

Hey Carlyle .... how about trying something different on your POS power play?  This guy is beginning to grate on me as coach.

maybe he could put Phaneuf on the OTHER point for a change?

 

[Edeagle]

Colton Orr shouldn't be on the ice when we're losing 2-1.

That and cut his minutes AND send Kostka back to the AHL where he belongs.  That little feelgood longshot story is very much over.

Fixed for you.

I really don't understand where your hate for Kostka comes from, jeez. And with Gardiner and Komisarek out do you have any other suggestions? Talk about rage when you're losing.

 

[Edeagle]

That's at least 3 times I've seen outlet breakaway passes to Kessel broken up by lucky sticks. I really hope he scores this game.

Colton Orr shouldn't be on the ice

Fixed that for you

Orr has a minute more of ES-TOI than Kadri...WTH.  And on the whole Kadri has less than 8 minutes of TOI.  Awesome stuff Carlyle.
