Wings @ Leafs - Dec. 21st, 7:00pm - CBC, SN 590

I think this seals Gardiner's fate in that's the only tradable asset that the
Leafs can trade. Nonis has to do something.  Even with Bozak coming back on the 29th. Thank goodness for the freeze.

Well at least Holland decided to show up for the 2nd

 

[azzurri63]

Ok Randy time to put the same 5 out there.

 

[Arn]

Lupul doesn't seem to have done much for a while. Not that anyone specific deserves to be singled out

 

[lamajama]

Yes Healy Reimer has the right to be PO'd at the guys.

But he let in two softies so have a look in the mirror too.

Look how clearly the team quit after they scored: http://www.extraskater.com/game/2013-12-21-red-wings-maple-leafs

The PP is regressing to the old Wilson-strategy.  Pass-pass-pass-pass-pass-pass-pass (noone moves without the puck to create space)-pass-pass-pass...PP over.

She isn't really planning on marrying him, she just really likes balloons.

 

[drummond]

The only silver lining is that Holland looks like real deal

 

[Stronger Than All]

Losers

 

[ZBBM]

Reimer can eff off.  I would have pulled him after the wraparound.

 

[Derk]

"Clarkson couldn't put it in the open side."

 

[Beowulf]

Is it just me or does Clarkson seem to lose his balance rather easily? I swear he falls down along the boards quite a bit on pretty routine battles.

 

[drummond]

Leafs are missing Orrsie 8)

Ugh, that is depressing.

I was thinking Holland and Rielly are the only two positives of the season so far really

I would've said the goalies too but the general apathy of the team seems to be dragging them down also

He certainly wasn't good tonight.  I'm going to give the guy who has had to stand on his head most nights a pass though.  The team in front of him plays the same way every night.  This is what happens when your system is inherently terrible (whether it is the players in the system or the system itself doesn't really matter).  Good goaltenders are still going to have off nights. 
We don't really know what Carlyle said to him in the dressing room.

For those who didn't click the link, from 7:16 to 18:08 Detroit had 22 shot attempts and scored 3 goals. In that same period of time the Leafs had just 2 shot attempts.

Look at the shot attempts.  Basically would have had to stand on his head for the Leafs to have the lead or still be tied.

So lets trade our most mobile defenceman? Good plan.
