Leafs @ Habs - Nov. 30th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

I mean is that even still a rule? There was no contact that JVR initiated..

In the blue paint, the goalie has the right of way.  If you get in the way in the blue, you're interfering with his ability to try to make a save.

I get the rule, but I've seen things 10 x worse than that go in on the Leafs (and others) without being called.

I guess that means you're not supposed to push the goalie into the net and then shoot the puck in too?

HA, tell me about it. What a load...

Clarkson's lack of a passing game was a huge complaint Devils fans had about him too. So get used to it.

 

[ZBBM]

In all seriousness, if we get blown out this game and head into the death stretch here, and continue to get out-shot and lose most of the next games will that cause any thoughts of RC firing or this this just not happening? I don't read the TO media or listen to the radio.

Carlyle's not getting fired anytime soon.  It's the end of November and they are still in a playoff position.

Clarkson is such a selfish player.  The Leafs start a bit of a cycle.  Clarkson then tries to fight through several players and drive the net and turns the puck over.  He can't/doesn't pass the puck.

Ya I agree and I said earlier today I get the feeling Nazem doesn't care to play with him and that is the reason. He's like a bull in a china shop. Head down and doesn't see anything. If he was scoring nobody would care but he's not.

What about when we're in the middle of December and out of one?

Was just thinking about this.  He needs to stop carrying the puck and collect the garbage in front of the net.

Yet another reason that Clarke Mac was a much, much better option.

I'd switch him and Kulemin. Clarkson and McClement actually didn't look completely awful when they were on a line together earlier in the season.

It's December here already and he still isn't fired  :-[

Didn't even interfere with him.

Do you really think that'll do it?

For me it's not even close. I'd like Clarkson for 3rd line money.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

whoooops?..watching the Colts game, totally forgot about Coach's Corner. What did Don say tonight? Is he retiring?

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

So Bozak says the explanation for the no goal was that JVR was in the crease. NHL refs everyone.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

JvR/ Bozak/ Kessel
Raymond/ Kadri/ Kulemin
McClement/ Smith/ Clarkson
Aston/ Smithson/ Orr

Yeah, there's that.

And:
$3.25m / 19 points
vs.
$5.25m / 5 points
=
5 times the value.

That won't happen until he runs out of tacky outfits.

You're bang on. We'll be out of one by then.

Seeing as MacArthur basically admitted he quit on the team in the playoffs, thanks but no thanks.

What was the 18-wheeler going off the cliff stretch? Something like 1-8-1? Well right now we're 1-3-1. Could be 1-4-1 after tonight. And then we go into one of the toughest stretches of the season.

So if that stretch goes poorly we could be looking at an absolutely horrific month and a half of hockey. It might get Carlyle fired, it might not.
