Post-Game Talk: Caps @ Leafs | Leafs win 3-2!

[Leaf Rocket]

Dion seems to have an extra pep in his step when taking interviews.

Here's something: Neuvirth and Reimer are both 2006 draft picks, with Neuvirth going in the 2nd round, 34th overall, and Reimer going in the 4th round, 99th overall. Kinda cool how that's worked out.

apparently dion gave an extra shout to kadri? as in compliment.

He gave him the nickname "The Dream" I prefer nasty naz or Nifty Mits but whatever works

Maybe because before the game, Dion's shot actually hit Elisha's net? You know what they say "the best way to gain confidence is to score" right?

what and where now is this from? lol

Lol. Just in general he has seen more smoother in the interviews. I am glad, we need this mentality in our young team.

 

[Defense]

Gunnarsson played very solid tonight. He is our most consistent D by far. Franson had a nifty spin-o-rama move there in the 2nd period totally deked the forechecker. It was perfected!

 

[HellasLEAF]

Are we good?

I still can't figure it out though.

 

[The Reaper]

This may be off-topic but do the Leafs alternate jersey look different then it did last year

For some reason Phaneuf reminds me of Butthead

no it's the same from the looks of it.

No ****ing clue man... But going to smile when the kids deliver.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Please take Kostka and Bozak off the powerplay. Bozak pissed me off this game so much. Every single time, he was looking to pass to Kessel or made a short pass to Kessel every chance he had. This made the plays predicable. Kostka just moves the puck way too slow on the powerplay and the PP is stationary.

he pisses me all the time,i`m sick to hear how good he and kessel are together,he`s just a 3rd line center that`s it...in games against good teams he always sucks...

No.

But our kids are, which is more than awesome. Let them play.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

One good thing is that at least Phaneuf got some shots actually on net. They weren't harmful, but if he can get them going, our PP will be better.

A huge problem with our PP is there is no intimidating shot from the point position.

Thanks Leafs for the early birthday present.

You could replace Dion with any player's name and it still fits. Minus the Elisha part I guess.

Not Bryzgalov.

 

[MajorityRules*]

Assuming you are talking to who I believe you are talking to your best bet is to ignore "said person" it makes your HFBoards experience a tad bit more pleasing and filled with more open minded arguements

Most definitely

 

[Stephen23]

Kessel's just waiting for the Boston game.

I would love to hear a "Thank You Kessel" chant if he scores against Boston!

 

[penalty reviver]

Komarov may have stone hands,

but he has soft skates.

Capitals looked absolutely horrid last night Ovechkin looks disinterested and has nobody to play with. But this is Bettman's 30 team watered down POS league. I havn't bought an NHL ticket in years not even worth it.

No way that Caps team makes the playoffs.

I agree, and salary cap floor will never let you completely tear down, like the Caps and Red Wings should be doing right now.

 

[zeke]

Of course it does. If a team is playing better defence there will be less scoring chances against the goalie and less goals and better goals against averages and saving percentages (less quality opportunities)

nope, that there be a myth.

Luongo's save percentage was just as good in Florida as in Vancouver.

Vokoun's save percentage has been the same wherever he's played.

All the goalies who sucked as Leafs' starters the past 7 years have also never been able to be starting goalies anywhere else since.

Good coaching can definitely impact the team's GAA, though. But GAA is a team stat, not a goalie stat.
