Leafs @ Jets - Jan. 25th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

Hey here's the sort of question I'll ask when the team is down and I'm already into the hard alcohol. Does anyone know why the CBC broadcasts the games in Punjabi? I'm not critical at all I'm just wondering if it's the most commonly spoken non-French or English language in the country or if the people who speak it have a particular affinity for Hockey or what.

I honestly don't understand their 5 on 3 logic.  Why are they passing the puck for the entire 2-man advantage every single time?  Are they afraid of the goalie making a save and killing time?

They seem to only want to score via a 3 way passing play with a tap in. The idea of putting traffic in front, feeding it to a player just above the hash marks and blasting it just isn't in the repetoire, even though Phaneuf scored virtually the same way on the last pp.

There have been plenty chances this season for him to pull a goalie after a bad goal where he hasn't. I don't see him suddenly starting now.

Well, if you're asking me to plumb the mind of Carlyle, I'm not going in there.  Dangerous.

I appreciate where you're coming from but if you're trying to score points with what Carlyle thought was the correct decision, you're on the wrong side of town.

Reilly and Gardiner both are better than Franson and Phaneuf as personally I think they are better with the puck and although don't have the heavy shots get pucks through and are better playmakers than Phaneuf and Franson. Just my opinion but RC has his favourites and he keeps putting the same bunch out there. LK you are spot on they keep passing it around and waste so much f"n time waiting for the perfect shot or pass. Horrible.

Did Mark Stuart really just outskate Kadri? Are the trainers not sharpening their skates or something?

Kadri didn't look to interested in backchecking until he realized he was the last guy back, and was about to get punked. So he did well to recover.
