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

Sure Don, 3M and 7 goals for that Russian, but what about good Ontario boy Clarkson 5M and 3 goals....

Its ok, he fights.

 

[bustaheims]

He's going with a group that produced at a high level all of last season on the PP. I don't think you can attribute these shortcomings to the composition of players being used.

Except, he's using them differently than last season. Last season, they'd switch sides so they both had the one-timer available to them. This year, they're not, so neither has it.

That sort of speaks to what I said, no?

Well, no. It points to a different issue in terms of the composition of the players being used. Using the players in the wrong fashion is still a player composition issue.

I'd like to see them skate with it more whenever they get set up.  Seems like it creates more havoc than just passing around the perimeter and looking for one-timers.

Of course to do that you need to break up Phaneuf/Franson.

I would have a hard time with someone who would file that under "composition" rather than "strategy" but I suppose this is where we start getting a little esoteric.

Ouch, breakaway from Kule stopped.

 

[2badknees]

Well, that was Kulemin's chance to shut cherry up.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

That was a pretty nice pass by McClement.

 

[Kin]

Ah, I would have loved for Kulemin to score there just to shut Cherry up.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Ah, I would have loved for Kulemin to score there just to shut Cherry up.

If he did a salute or tugged his sweater afterward I would have probably fainted.

 

[ZBBM]

What a clownshow.

 

[2badknees]

Oh, there's JVR, I wasn't even sure if he was in the lineup tonight.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Ashton draws a penalty from his board work.

 

[Kin]

Where's your Gardiner now?

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

 

[ZBBM]

Boo-yah!

 

[2badknees]

Who would have thought, traffic and shots produce goals.

 

[bustaheims]

See what happens when you actually let Phaneuf get a one-timer on the PP?

 

[Kin]

That was a stupid penalty to take.

 

[2badknees]

I'll be pissed if they don't give stuart a roughing call.

Good for gleason. I'm really starting to like that guy.

 

[azzurri63]

That was a stupid penalty to take.

To be fair to Carl didn't look like much of a hit.
