Andersen likes this new helmet

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Hey our goalies good too!

 

[L K]

Holl/Muzzin have had a few bad giveaways when pressured by the Columbus forecheck

 

[Bender]

Didn't look offside to me.

 

[Phileas Fogg]

Andersen solid

 

[ZBBM]

I'm gonna predict Tavares with the game's first goal.

Leafs need to do a better job moving the puck in their own end. Columbus forechecks hard and we are slow moving it. Going to cost us.

 

[Bullfrog]

Beauty of a save by Andersen.

I think Dermott's looked pretty good. Has to get his shot off quicker though.

 

[Phileas Fogg]

Ceci looks so lumber-y out there.

There was a play earlier in the period where Reilly was going back into the d zone to get the puck, and Ceci was with him. All he had to do was make himself available for the pass, but for some unexplicable reason, he went and stood in front of the net. Reilly had to eat the hit, and gave up the puck.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Well our goaltender is not the problem

 

[louisstamos]

Jones has to get tired at some point, right?  18 minutes already. :/

This is probably the worst team the Leafs could have faced in this qualifier. (or the best if they somehow manage to win this series)

 

[princedpw]

well, this game seems like a coin flip.

 

[Jeremiad]

I know a couple of folks here said they quickly got used to no fans.  I don't think I will.  Seems pretty sterile.  That said, the energy from the teams seems no different at all.

The weirdest thing for me is that the crowd noise is still included in the broadcast audio.

Takes me right back to Three's Company. I'm just waiting for Mister Roper to show up.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Everything broadcast before the game and during the intermissions has been complete garbage in my opinion.

 

[Frank E]

I think I'm really not going to enjoy this series.

Yeah, this is tough to watch.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes...

 

[L K]

That is not a good goal

 

[herman]

Bah

Always Cam Atkinson

 

[ZBBM]

I'm gonna predict Tavares with the game's first goal.

Or not.
