Wild @ Leafs - Dec. 7th, 7:30pm - SN, Fan 590

[Arn]

This style seems to be what we struggle to play against. Teams like Wild and Carolina. Need to work out how to counter it.

 

[Beowulf]

I know this is stating the obvious but man it's amazing to see what Smith can accomplish when he's free of that scrub Nylander!

 

[bustaheims]

Marincin is not playing tonight.

Sitting tonight after arguably his best game as a Leaf.

Having the flu will do that to you.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

This is a pretty cool feature with Boudreau.

 

[ZBBM]

That Boudreau feature was priceless.  Calling his mom to find out where they lived!  Luv ya Bruce!

 

[Arn]

Good work by Marner's broken stick

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Random thought based off that Salming clip, did we ever figure out why Sundin missed that number retiring game?

 

[ZBBM]

Our defense is, in a word, crap.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

My feeds delayed, and I saw a "Bozak sucks" post on twitter before that goal, so I kept my eye on him in the defensive zone before it happened. Dear god that was a bad shift for him.

 

[Arn]

Thats a really poor effort from Bozak to get out of the zone too

 

[Zee]

Staal really bugs me

I thought I saw something that said he and his wife were awaiting a baby.  ??

 

[azzurri63]

Twice they've had the chance to move the puck and gave it away in their own end and 2 goals are the result of it. Move the bloody thing.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Staal really bugs me

I'm legitimately surprised he's not in Carolina making sure Jordan recovers from his concussion without anybody bothering him.

 

[ZBBM]

Clean check means ya gotta fight.  Jeez.

Yeah I remember that being the prevailing theory, but it didn't seem to have much behind it.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Clean check means ya gotta fight.  Jeez.

One of the worst parts of the game today.

I have been saying this for years, Bozak is terrible in his own zone. The only reason I think he is still a Leaf is the fact that he is decent in the faceoff circle (and maybe because there is little to no trade value for him).

Neither he nor Bozak have had much jump tonight. Games like this... why not overload a few lines with scorers? What good is Nylander on the 4th line in a game like this?

Clean check means ya gotta fight.  Jeez.

One of the worst parts of the game today.

They need to be stricter on the instigator, it'll stop it real quick if teams are losing games because of dumb PP's conceded.
