GDT: [CONVERTED]Leafs vs Islanders | Thur, Feb 12 | SPOILER ALERT: Lupul Hurt Again

[ironhorse384]

He's a good hitter he needs to do that more often, and it might have the added benefit of opening up the ice a bit for him

 

[bunjay]

Clarkson spends way too much time trying and failing to hold onto the puck one-handed.

 

[HockeyCA]

Nice analysis.

He's sure had a nice long career so far hasn't he... Guess more isn't expected, and you disagree. Not like that means anything though

 

[Erdinger]

I like the way Gards has been kind of invisible. This is actually a good thing

 

[Nithoniniel]

Most experts and players seem to think the morning skate is a complete relic from times when players needed to skate off the night before. Couldn't care less if players feel like taking the morning off, but taking games off is a completely different matter.

Or maybe he knows his body better than you do.

We are getting away with so much this game. The refs are certainly not on board with the tank.

They are under strict orders from Bettman to not let the Leafs get McDavid under any circumstances.

 

[Nithoniniel]

I must say that I'm really happy to see Kadri play with emotion and pride. A year ago I would have thought he'd be one of the first to fold in a situation like this.

panik is a mean sob

Panik is beasting.

Its one thing if a guy is nursing an injury but you can't tell me a player can't go for a light skate and work on a few things.

 

[Budsfan]

Love Panik, he not only scores goals but stirs the pot and takes Tavares off the ice.

 

[Muston Atthews]

good trade off lol

He's a young player/rookie on this team who barely has an NHL career at this point. I would like to think that a player in his position would think the word "optional" doesn't apply to anything... The guys on the broadcast alluded to a few eyebrows being raised in the organization about it, so I'm not the only one.

 

[Leafidelity]

I hope we keep Panik

[bunjay]

That last 4-on-4 shift by Kessel was one of the laziest things I've ever seen.

 

[Maplebeasts]

I meant in a showing leadership way. Whats so facepalm worthy?

Perhaps, but the guy is coming out and playing with twice the intensity compared to most of our forwards tonight, something I find much, much more telling.

Why? The Dallas Stars don't need Dion to be a leader. They already have a very serious and mature leadership group.

Who's already been waived

not when they're making gross jokes about the sedins.
they need Dion to change the music.

Were did the Stars come into this? I mean I know they apparently have interest
