Leafs @ Blackhawks - Oct. 19th, 7:00pm - CBC, SN 590

Kadri out with Broll and Orr. Incredible.

And he still makes something out of nothing and draws a penalty

 

[azzurri63]

Who knew that a PP strategy where the defensemen just pass the puck back and forth without making any effort to create space for a shot wouldn't be an effective strategy.

Still can't figure out that myself. When the PP is struggling some nights I always say get someone in front and get some shots through. Not that difficult with an extra guy but they seem to make it look that way.

 

[Arn]

It's ok, Kadri is with Orr now. We're saved

 

[Strangelove]

Kadri out with Broll and Orr. Incredible.

And he's pretty clearly been the Leafs' best player tonight.  Randy hockey.

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

i think we can all agree that the big problem tonight is that the leafs are just taking far too many shots

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Kadri out with Broll and Orr. Incredible.

My thought was: Wow, nice moves Kadri.  *looks at linemates*

 

[Kin]

I think tonight should be exhibit A in terms of the difference in talent between the best players on the Maple Leafs and the best players on a cup winner.

Our's plays with Colton Orr?

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

I'd love to see a Cup winner with a 3rd line centre on the 1st line.

 

[bustaheims]

How about putting the puck at the net? I know, that's way out of the box thinking, but, you know . . .

 

[pnjunction]

Other than goaltending Leafs are getting schooled everywhere

 

[Kin]

I'd love to see a Cup winner with a 3rd line centre on the 1st line.

Good point. Bozak hasn't even scored a single hat-trick tonight.

The Leafs best players haven't even showed up tonight so not sure what kind of exhibit it is when your team is flat.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Now Orr's out with Bolland and Lupul.

 

[Strangelove]

5 minutes left and Orr is out with Lupul.

But that's almost my point. Kane, Toews and Sharp have the same number of points that the Leafs top line has but they've at least been carrying the play and noticeable out there.

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

Now Orr's out with Bolland and Lupul.

hey..for all you know Orr promised some poor terminally ill child that he'd get an assist for him tonight..

Yeah and like I said the Leafs are playing badly. If both teams were playing well and the Hawks won due to better talent you could make your original statement. The Leafs best players aren't exactly playing their best hockey.

5 minutes left and Orr is out with Lupul.

Is this just an FU to the big guys?

Pretty much. No effort from the top guys so taking away ice time.
