sens @ Leafs - Oct. 2nd, 7:00pm - SN, TSN 1050

[herman]

Lol Marner

 

[L K]

Johnson filled in from behind preventing him from getting a chance to knock in the rebound there.

 

[lc9]

Post, post.  Don?t be one of those nights.

 

[freer]

THey are getting chances and a lot of cross checks

 

[herman]

Willy has been monstrous on the puck so far. When his line mates scrum a 50/50 he?s the one turning the tide.

 

[L K]

So was DJ Smith the reason we never got PPs last year?  3 calls already.

 

[Kin]

I'm sure it will make sense as the season goes on but if the PP idea is Marner and Matthews taking shots from either side and Johnsson in front, then it feels like Tavares may be better used elsewhere.

 

[herman]

Someone in the league wants to see this new powerplay actually work.

 

[lc9]

Tavares struggling early in the faceoff dot.

Leafs will get another PP.  Have to convert.

 

[freer]

they havent scored yet

If Spezza is sitting in the pressbox he seems like a better fit with Nylander/Kapanen/Kerfoot

 

[ZBBM]

Barrie makes the 2PP a possibility.

Good mobility from Muzzin too, looks good aside from that woofer of a pass to center.

 

[Bender]

Not a bad start. Unfortunate gaffe on the first goal by the whole team being rusty. PP looks good. Can't let teams get behind you like that. Could easily be 1-1 or 2-0 Sens.

Moore is diffently not a PP guy IMO

 

[herman]

Classic Kapanen pass

 

[lc9]

0-3 on the PP.  Not great.

 

[ZBBM]

I'm going out on a limb to predict Leafs get the next penalty.

At this rate Sandin will play about 3 minutes.

 

[lc9]

Crowd is dead silent 10 mins into the season.

 

[herman]

Marincin stripping that puck was so dirty

So was that Timashov headfake

 

[lc9]

Leafs not generating any offense 5 on 5.  Ottawa keeping everything to the outside.
