Kings @ Leafs - Dec. 14th, 5:00pm - SNO, TSN 1050

The 1st line out on the ice again....it is completely unacceptable just how bad they are defensively and from a possession standpoint.

 

[herman]

Look who is on the ice.

 

[2badknees]

I know they're winning and all, but I miss watching komorov.

 

[freer]

Gardiner, Gardiner effin Gardiner

 

[TML fan]

You could tell about halfway through the 2nd that this is where this game was going.

I'm not going to fault them if they lose this game.  Playing two games in <24 hours in unacceptable scheduling.  I don't understand the timing of this game.  What are they trying to avoid by playing at 5PM?

 

[azzurri63]

Can we just not play the first line anymore?

Never seen a softer line.

Line up at McDonalds next time you're out.

The first line would have a tough time pushing their way through the line at McDonalds.

They're more successful athletically than you'll ever be so I'm sure they care.

And you as well. That's fine but show a little tenacity, take the body once in a while. Bozak is the only one of the three that has anything close to a little toughness the other two useless as far as taking the body. I don't care how good you are and if you're paid to score but show a little toughness. Kessel won't even go into the corner.

Ya I noticed that too sitting back.

 

[Strangelove]

To me the only line noticeably under-performing is the first.

 

[Jeremiad]

I disagree. I thought they played a solid second period. The missed call by the ref was a turning-point.

Now we'll see what they're made of.

Been like that for a couple weeks.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink btw...

 

[Jeremiad]

Here we go...

 

[L K]

That was a thing of beauty

3-3

Who gets credit: 
Kessel grabs the puck off the scrummed faceoff
Phaneuf with the quick pass and then Franson with a great feed to JVR

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man...

 

[Stickytape]

Can we just not play the first line anymore?

* except on the PP, of course

 

[Arn]

Right, can we cash in the point now please?

 

[Kessel Run]

Amazing how Kessel and JVR play like garbage but still put up points. Mostly PP, but yes, points.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Cody "$$$$" Franson with another point.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

JVR just stood there why didn't anyone on LA knock him out? What a soft team LA is.
