Leafs @ Oilers - Feb. 11th, 9:00pm - TSN4, Fan 590

What on earth does making the playoffs have to do with winning the Norris trophy?

Or any trophy.

 

[herman]

Are the cameras normally on the opposite side in Edmonton?

Well, it has a little something to do with the Conn Smythe . . .

Always have been. Only arena in the league they don't face the benches. Throws me off every time I watch.

[Heroic Shrimp]

So the line-up is:

Grabner-Holland-Komarov
Greening-Arcobello-Parenteau
Winnik-Spaling-Leivo
Clune-Froese-Boyes

Hunwick-Rielly
Gardiner-Polak
Marincin-Corrado

Bernier

That has to be the worst lineup I've ever seen for the Leafs in my lifetime.

There were some bad teams in the 80's, but they had a few good players.

Replace that top 6 in October with Stamkos, Matthews, Nylander, JVR, Marner and Kadri.  Slight improvement.

I'm scared we might win

But Leivo is magically not playing anymore.

Leivo out for rest of game, injured.

This is getting Buffalo-style!!

I won't lie. That got me a little excited.

Well I can understand why some people would take that into consideration for the Hart, but yeah.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

I like Corrado on the PP.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I don't care if Marchand scores 100+26, he still sucks, intrinsically.

LeBrun had him on his Team Canada roster for the World Cup. I'd probably have to cheer for the Young Stars team.

 

[herman]

I like Corrado on the PP.

Yeah. He just hammers the puck at any given opportunity nice and low (and sometimes wide).

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I like Corrado on the PP.

I missed the first half of the 2nd period but the PP hasn't actually looked all that bad considering the type of talent out there. We are playing Edmonton though of course...

The Leafs' PP vs. the Oilers' PK. The weak, lethargic force vs. the soft, crumbly object.

 

[ZBBM]

I like Corrado on the PP.

His first shot was, as they noted, about 7 feet off but on the next PP he showed he can bring it.

 

[Kin]

LeBrun had him on his Team Canada roster for the World Cup. I'd probably have to cheer for the Young Stars team.

Considering the inherent nonsense of the event I've already decided to root for Team Rest of Europe.

 

[ZBBM]

Stamkos would have scored three times from there on a single PP.  Marco Bello?  Non cos? tanto.

 

[Bullfrog]

Remind me again....it was one lottery ball away?

 

[herman]

Great pass
