CarltonTheBear said:Frattin last on the team with 6:08 in ice-time after two periods. Last season a Leafs player finished with less ice-time than that on 87 occasions.
CarltonTheBear said:The ref cam is going to be great when refs blatantly miss calls right in front of them. I'm kinda surprised their union allowed them for that reason alone.

See I disagree that he was 'beat' on this play - probably 99 times out of 100 Bernier makes that save. Did Phaneuf completely stop Pacioretty? No - but neither did Pacioretty completely get by Phaneuf. Phaneuf knocked him outside to the point he was skating along the goal line and had a terrible angle. I don't have a problem with a play like that, neither player got what they wanted, Bernier just let in a weak goal on a shot from a poor spot.

The top line was probably actually the worst of the 4 tonight, in both ends of the ice really.

Beat is maybe a little unfair but he allowed Pacioretty to cut back in toward the net rather than keeping with him and edging him out of a shooting attempt. It was a low percentage shot that should have been stopped so I'm not blaming him for the goal, but that's a play where I would like to see Phaneuf stay with the player and not just be content to have him prevented from cutting into the middle of the zone. A 3rd pairing guy, sure. But Phaneuf should be able to take Pacioretty completely out of the play there and not just drive him wide and then let him be.

I'm waiting for the one where they show the camera on the guy making a call from center ice when he can't see what's going on. I want them to show the random pile of bodies and what they are "seeing" when they make those calls.

hockeyfan1 said:Thought Bernier looked out of sync somewhat on some of the opposition goals, particularly the first one. Not going to blame the loss on him, not at all, besides, Carey Price wasn't necessarily sharper neither.
Two freaky goals, one for both teams, a back-and-forth skating game, made for good entertainment.
