Wow, Dion a +11.  Ireelevant or not, that's pretty impressive considering who he plays against.

BUT Bud Light gives out an award for +/- so how can it be irrelevant?!?!?!?!?!1

Next you'll tell me the Mark Messier Leadership Award is meaningless.

Not the be-all end-all stat, but a +11 for a guy who has been a minus player every other year he's been here and has taken flak for that record in the past, this is a big shift to the positive.  Also, considering the competition he faces each night it's pretty freaking good.

And he plays the most minutes so he's out there alot, I think in this case the stat has some value.

Of course it's not meaningless.  It comes with a bag of Lay's potato chips.

Yeah, +/- is irrelevant when it's without a proper context.

But in this case we know that Phaneuf has been getting the tough defensive assignments and consistently matches up against the opponents' top players.

Therefore that +11 is indeed impressive and indicative of how he's played.

But every time I see him, he's holding the Stanley Cup!

 

[Stronger Than All]

Leafs will win this one.

 

[hap_leaf]

Leafs will win in a romp.

 

[harps64]

What a joke.

 

[drummond]

First line C scores!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Wow what a snipe!

 

[bustaheims]

Another goal off the rush!

Also, really poorly played there by Mazanec.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Holland!

 

[Arn]

Wicked shot.

Off the rush!

 

[L K]

It's always nice when players score milestone goals for the team.  Nice shot.  Mrzaczakzc was playing way too far in the net though.

 

[Arn]

I thought Clarkson did a good job the shift before that cycling on the boards and keeping the puck in before Phaneuf I think it was got a shot in

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Wow what a snipe!

It was, but their goalie couldn't have been any deeper in his net. Great for Holland and the Leafs though, I'll take it.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

JVR's flying tonight.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

JVR's flying tonight.

Yeah, I think Nashville is having all kinds of trouble with the Leafs speed in general so far.

On another note; Rielly is getting better every game at a pretty quick pace, he's made a few really nice plays tonight already.
