Pre-Game Talk: Oilers vs Leafs-The Return of Eakins

[Brock Radunske]

It looks likes he's blaming a dirty fart on Orr. Lol

 

[FlareKnight]

Regardless have to find a way to win. Can rely on Bernier, but really need to start better and not just have a period and a half stretch where we are getting hemmed in. Hopefully we can have a strong game overall.

 

[Tyler Biggs*]

Although it's still really early, hard not to like what you see in in Bernier so far. Calm, technically sound, handles the puck well and doesn't give up many second chances.

Totally makes up for the flubs of the rest of the team until they can get firing on all cylinders, which hopefully will be happening when Clarkson returns, Fraser et al.

That's half-way til Clarkson comes back...won't be long now...

 

[Space Coyote]

Did the Leafs deserve to win those games? Montreal and maybe Ottawa. The other was all because of the goaltending. Their record isn't really indicative of how they played, thus, they're overachieving.

If there is anything more undeserving, its the Oilers ending up drafting top talent year after year and still remaining basement dwellers. At least the Leafs have made some strides, even in the meltdown season two years ago, they had a strong start and held it for a good chunk of the season which was followed by another strong season where they finally made the playoffs and took the Bruins to seven games.

We'rent there seasons just years ago where Leafs would out-play and out-shoot their opponents and still lose. You aren't going to win all games relied just upon offence, there will games where your goalie will have to "steal" them and the Bernier has done just that.

 

[ErnieLeafs]

I think the key, given that both teams attacks are based on their speed, is to not let the oilers dictate the pace. A good transition game, and our ability to slow them down in the neutral zone, may be the key to winning this game.

I have to eat Thanksgiving dinner tonight with my family. So I can't watch the game live.

What would be the best way for someone without a DVR to watch the game after it's aired? It looks like Leafs TV has the "game in an hour" that I could watch the next day, but I'd like to watch the full thing. Does CBC have it up on their website? I can get my girlfriend to load it for me so that I wont see spoilers.

It's amazing how people are trying to find faults in a 4-1 record. I know they have not played great but it's a good sign when a team is not playing well finds ways to win. So many seasons after the lockout the Leafs weren't good enough and found ways to lose. I think we have a very good team here. A team that is capable of finishing top in their division. Just enjoy, be happy

 

[LV*]

we're a powerhouse, easy win tonight.

actually, i just found out the answer to my own question:

http://www.cbc.ca/sports-content/video/#tab=3&id=2411723861

CBC has previous HNIC coverage... however, they show the score of the game (stupid IMO) but I can get my girlfriend to load it up for me. so that's what i'll be doing sunday night.

let's hope i can make it without any spoilers.

That's ********. Dump her ass

 

[Garbs]

Is there a reason an Ottawa Senators fan is scheduled to make our GDT today?

Is there a reason why it's 3pm and still not up?

 

[The Podium]

That's ********. Dump her ass

Cant do that, in the 4 years we have been together she's taken me to 5 leaf games including 1 in montreal and 1 in Ottawa both of which she paid for the hotel, and she bought me a jersey.
