Leafs @ Oilers - Jan. 30th, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

[Guilt Trip]

Terrible attempt to clear by Willy and now we have to kill a penalty.

Lehtonen was dropped by the Oiler. How is that a penalty to him?

C'mon Rielly smarten up.

That's what I thought too.

Rough shift for Engvall

Rough shift for Engvall

That was bad..

Well leaving the period tied 3-3 after going down 3-1 I?ll take.  Definitely looks like a team playing their 10th game in 18 days including going out West.  Getting a few days off after this to work on tightening things up will be good

 

[herman]

I really enjoyed watching McDavid gear up for a drive, see it?s Holl he?s up against, and then peel off a pass to the corner

Rough shift for Engvall

Someone really needs to talk to him about his shot selection. There's been way too many times in his limited appearances where he's basically given the puck away on a shot, either through an easy block or easy save.

Rough shift for Engvall

He's had a rough game. Feel bad for him because he looked really good before being taking out of the lineup.

Win the last period and steal 2 points.

Finnish takedown

 

[ZBBM]

If you hit somebody in the head like that you should be suspended.

According to Mirtle?s latest mailbag, the Leafs have tried to get him to develop the more physical aspects of his game as his finesse, while definitely there and his preferred style, is not nearly NHL level and certainly not coupled with an offensively creativity.

As we discussed in the off-season, his path to NHL longevity is through becoming a giant b-hole on the ice and just bodying errybody off the puck and popping it into the slot for other players to razzle and dazzle.

It shouldn?t even be up for debate.  I saw Kevin Fiala got 3 games for his hit into the birds.  I don?t dislike the call but it just seems punishment continues to be entirely arbitrary.

You're a doc, IIRC? ? Yeah, that's just bad stuff. 

 

[herman]

I know he puts up a lot of points and plays good PK etc but Marner at 5v5 has seemed extremely invisible. Maybe Matthews is too bright? I don?t know.

 

[ZBBM]

Haul down Mikheyev and ......

 

[L K]

How is that not a penalty on taking down Mikheyev there.  Right in front of the ref
