Kings @ Leafs - Nov. 5th, 7:30pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

[herman]

Nylander with some nice backchecking (twice)

 

[herman]

Very good checking line shift.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Justin Holl looks great

No one could possibly convince me that Marincin-Holl wouldn't be a better top PK pair than anything the Leafs have put out in the Babcock era.

Not blaming him but Rielly is just not that good defensively/killing penalties.

 

[Bullfrog]

Great pressure by the leafs, but I agree, they've got to get that puck on the net.

 

[herman]

Marner?s struggle this year I think has something to do with him settling into a glide to make moves rather than pumping the skates a bit more to remain elusive.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Kerfoot!

 

[ZBBM]

KERRRRRRRRRFOOOOOOOOOOO

T

 

[Bullfrog]

[herman]

I've never really wanted him on the PK. It's not in his wheelhouse and he's just getting minutes he doesn't need. Right now the primary 4 PKers should be Muzzin, Holl, Ceci (by default), and Dermott. Rielly and Barrie the PP guys. Just makes sense.

Just sat down at the Hon-dah hotel bar  on the Fort Apache reservation in northern AZ.  Within 1 min of watching the leafs scores.

Bang on.  And Onion can replace Ceci once they package him with Petan.

Good call lol.

Speaking of Shore's DZ faceoffs, as they just were, he deserves credit for the other night.  I counted him winning 3 of 4 draws in the OT.

Agreed, no Rielly on the PK

Onion? Marincin?

 

[Bender]

This team looks so bad. There's no way in hell we can compete with the B's. It's just mind boggling how bad the special teams have become.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Less then a minute and PP1 is off the ice. Marner looks lost with the puck at times.

Against the worst penalty kill in the league too.

 

[herman]

Nylander > Marner
