GDT: Fight Night - Maple Leafs @ Sabres - 7:00 ET / SPORTSNET-O

[Swervin81]

Are you guys sure it's a PP and not just a stoppage of play because the net came off. Millen is dumb sometimes

Posting here tends to take your eyes off the game, so you just listen to what is going on.

 

[p.l.f.]

No pp fudge

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Smith looks better than Kessel

 

[Leafs at Knight]

We have our #1C Trevor Smith.

Better then Bozak..
what have I done

Nobody thinks the hit on Ranger was intentional?

His teammates would have to have shouted that Ranger was behind him, since he was facing the complete opposite direction.

 

[Diatomic]

No, Scott is just your typical bonehead that hasn't played hockey before, swinging hands and elbows everywhere.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Nobody thinks the hit on Ranger was intentional?

well what surprised me is - don't you usually make this call anyway? high stick, followthrough or not is still generally a high stick call.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Lupul looks loopy tonight. Oh brother.

 

[The_Chosen_One]

I am a huge Dion fan, but please explain physicality on the PP.. On the PK I could understand, but on the PP you do not want to be touching the other team in anyway unless you are standing in front of the net.

You need physicality in order to maintain presence in the offensive firm. In other words, he's keeping the puck in play and does a great job. Notice how Phaneuf is very difficult to take the puck off. He's an excellent component of our powerplay.

On the other hand, Franson is not connect on any passes and seems to be a miserable puck mover. It seems like missing those pre-season games have slowed him down. He has the potential to be an all-round guy, but, at the moment, he's a disappointment.

It was careless, so same thing to me.

Smith looks better than Kessel

Ville Leino looks better than Kessel tonight

 

[The Kessel Run]

This team just isn't very good.

 

[Daisy Jane]

put lupul, clarkson, and smith together.

 

[Blanka]

Sad lot out there. Just sad.

 

[mcleex]

Wtf is Lupul doing. Now is not the time to be fancy.

Time to stack JVR Lupul and Kessel on one line. Offense is dry

 

[LeafsMonster]

Where are kessel lupul and jvr?

 

[bunjay]

Your source for the Sabres having better scoring opportunities? That's what I thought.

I am embarrassed for you. Watching a hockey game isn't a research essay, I don't need to cite souces

 

[Bedards Dad]

Nobody thinks the hit on Ranger was intentional?

No, he wasn't even facing him. He just shot the puck down.

Ville Leino looks better than Kessel tonight

Ranger looks better than Kessel tonight.

Glass reflection and you can also hear someone coming. He was not winding up for a shot with one arm come on.

Time to stack JVR Lupul and Kessel on one line. Offense is dry

The shifts I've seen from them this game have been dire. Stick Jvr-Smith-Kessel out there. Mine as well

 

[TML23]

put lupul, clarkson, and smith together.

They did!!!! Let's see if it works

 

[Pinto]

well what surprised me is - don't you usually make this call anyway? high stick, followthrough or not is still generally a high stick call.

You shouldn't get called on a follow through, and the rules also say you don't.

 

[Pyromaniac3]

Fraser, Ranger and Franson can't pass the puck for ****.

 

[p.l.f.]

Ranger acting tough hehe
