The "Mr. T" Man of the Match Thread, 2013?14 edition

[mr grieves]

JvR was excellent, but any time there are 50 shots it's hard not to give it to the goalie, no matter how shaky he looked at times.

MotM: Reimer
HM: JvR

Good efforts by Kadri, Phaneuf, Gardiner, Raymond (for the second shootout goal).

^that^ - JvR is becoming may favorite Leaf. I'm in love with his style of play.

 

[Highlander]

The more I watch JVR play the more I think this is the steal of the century. Schenn for JVR, funny but he was always one player I coveted when he was with Phili along with Kessel in Boston.
Next if we could pry Yandle from the Yotes?

I missed the game .... no votes yet?  At least was there a Man of the First Period??

 

[louisstamos]

Holland
HM: no one else really stood out, but I'll go with D'Amigo.  Liles was pretty good too.

Props to McClement on a nice goal.

 

[Highlander]

Do you think Joe C would ever have made Man of the Match?Holland has the tools to be a very good centre, he should be playing a lot more.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Holland with HM to McClement. I couldn't even find a second HM.

 

[ZBBM]

Game #31: BOS v TOR: Bruins 5-2.  MotM: Holland 7/0 (unanimous).  HM: McClement 0/4.  Others: D'Amigo 0/1, Liles 0/1, Gardiner 0/1.
Game #32: LAK v TOR:

 

[ZBBM]

MotM: Gardiner.
HM: I wanted to vote Rielly to call attention to the pairing, which I really think sparked things.  But he was a little late getting to the Taffoli on the 3rd goal, so I'll say Franson. 

The forwards also looked good.  G/d/it Jones.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Kind of a tough one since a lot of players played really well, but I'll go with:

MOTM: Gardiner - Played 26:10 and was easily the teams best defenceman tonight.
HM: Lupul - No points but was flying tonight and was a big part in getting a 2nd line that can sustain offensive pressure and create chances.
