Leafs @ Ducks - Jan. 14th, 10:00pm - SNO, TSN 1050

Panik-Smith-Clarkson...not a good line.

The 3rd line needs Santorelli more than the 2nd line does. Put Panik back to L2, bump Bodie up.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Yawn

 

[Peter D.]

I'm not a fan of these new lines. There is no fluidness offensively.

Time to call up Nylander.

 

[freer]

We have no luck. Good shift

 

[herman]

Good Kessel/Bozak/Winnik cycle shift

 

[L K]

We have no luck. Good shift

Yeah, I mean the Leafs have been scoring at an unsustainable clip but they have faced some really good goaltending of late.  Pucks aren't leaking through the goaltenders.

That'd do.

And I am noticing how much this team is really missing Lupul. He provides that secondary option that doesn't exist right now.

 

[freer]

Out shooting a team, but losing.

Yup. It's less that they have no luck, and more that things are starting to even out.

 

[herman]

Some lovely non-calls on incidental cross checks.

 

[Strangelove]

One day JVR will learn that playing defence means more than literally standing in one place at the top of the circle.. Puts his linemates at such a disadvantage because they have to compensate for his lack of effort.

Winnik's been the best player the past few games. Would love to see him back with Kadri and Santerelli. At this point it wouldn't hurt to put the "big line" back together just to look for a bit of spark.

 

[ZBBM]

Kessel skated approximately 4 feet total during that shift.  Useless.

 

[Strangelove]

Him and JVR do the same routine. It's pretty ridiculous.

 

[freer]

And it is done.

 

[bustaheims]

Well, that's the ballgame.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Well at least I won't be tempted to watch a bit of the 3rd.

 

[ZBBM]

Yeah, they can ship Phaneuf and Franson out anytime now.  They are Y-E-S-T-E-R-D-A-Y.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I just realized if the Leafs don't score I won't have to update their stats for tomorrow's GDT thread. Go Andersen!

 

[freer]

Franson is the reason for the last two goal. dumbass
