Kings @ Leafs - Dec. 11th, 7:30pm - TSN, TSN 1050

[ZBBM]

Kulemin could have a hattrick already.

The being who scored 30 that year?  It was a Kulemin hologram.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Leafs have been the better team 5 on 5.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Just tuned in.  1 penalty 1 goal against.  Ok I'm up to date.

 

[Strangelove]

Still waiting for Clarkson to show me anything above a 3rd line grinder.

Even third line grinder is generous at this point. He looks like Shayne Corson in that period right before he quit on the team.

 

[Beowulf]

The Leafs are getting all the shots so far. I don't understand.

Put him on a line with some offensive players and he's going to get chances and produce decently offensively. He proved that last season with Kadri and Lupul and in the first two games of the season with that same duo (I think?) before he got injured.

Still outshooting... better stop that or you'll never win.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Leafs were the better team in the 1st. Nobody expected that.

 

[TML fan]

LA took over towards the end. Leafs just backed off and gave them the ice.

Sometimes, losing a key player forces a team to pay more attention to detail for a little while. We'll see how long that lasts.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

This goalie has horseshoes somewhere right now.

 

[harps64]

Gardiner has been very impressive tonight.....so far.

 

[Beowulf]

Gardiner has been very impressive tonight.....so far.

Agreed, in fact that Gardiner-Rielly pairing has been pretty good so far

 

[ZBBM]

The team is skating so far anyhow.  It makes all the difference to not be sitting back and reacting to everything.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Can somebody please make a gif of that spin pass by Gardiner to Rielly?

Thank you very much.

I like what I've seen from D'Amigo so far. Brings a similar energy to what Komarov brought last season. He needs to see a few more minutes a night.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Leafs loaded up the top PP unit with Kessel, JVR, and Lupul. Last season I really wanted them to do that too.

Yep great hustle and doesn't try to do too much. Good 4th line mould.

I was thinking the same.  Paid like a 2nd liner, playing like a crappy 4th liner.  I'd rather have Ashton, Leivo, or D'Amigo in his position for a fraction of the price.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Whenever the leafs have pressure and clarkson gets the puck I fell the same letdown as if the puck is being cleared out of the zone.

 

[AvroArrow]

Man, I like JVR...  JVR for Schenn... lol
