Panthers @ Leafs - Mar. 28th, 7:30pm - SN, Fan 590

[Strangelove]

Classic Zaitsev. Backs up almost into his own crease. He is awful.

 

[herman]

What was Hyman trying to do there?  Yeesh.

I think he was trying to settle the puck while looking up ice for options.

 

[ZBBM]

I think he was trying to settle the puck while looking up ice for options.

I'm a big proponent of getting it out when you can.

 

[Zee]

Thanks Hyman.  Give the Panthers some life

Yes. Which is what Polak and Zaitsev normally do, for which we don?t look kindly on. It?s hella hard to hold the puck in the NHL, so to have pretty much half of our team capable of carrying and extending plays, that?s pretty nuts.

It was a hell of a shot by Huberdeau too.

 

[herman]

Long con

 

[ZBBM]

Well, Marner could spend the rest of the game doing helicopter spins on his butt at center ice and still take home the MotM.

 

[herman]

I was about to say what MacLean said: the Panthers can?t get out of their own zone. Even JvR is cutting off plays and keeping them in.

 

[Zee]

Oh gee Plekanec got a point somehow

And, I should say in Hyman's defense, it's likely that he's a bit addled from being concussed by Matthews' decking him right after scoring.

 

[rdowdall]

It doesn't get said enough.  CtB is right

You're right this isn't said nearly enough.

I'm right, you're right.  So much right. 

 

[herman]

Two breakouts stopped by the Leafs in about 1.5 minutes of this period.

I think Florida might have 1 controlled exit this period at 5v5.

 

[barney_rebel]

What's Polak's problem?

 

[azzurri63]

What's Polak's problem?

He's a tool. Not too bright.

 

[herman]

Kapanen quashed a couple of breakouts at 4v5 too.

 

[bustaheims]

What's Polak's problem?

He's not a good player.

 

[herman]

Zaitsev saves a goal

 

[herman]

Andersen robs a goal.

 

[Chris]

Wow, what a save!

JVR on the PK, it's like still being down 2 guys

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Zaitsev saves a goal

ZSAG.
