GDT: Game # 16 Leafs vs. Bruins, Nov 12 @ 8:00 PM, SportsNet

[Rare Jewel]

Clarkson is much more effective with Komarov and Santorelli. If Holland keeps this up, I would be content seeing Kadri moved.

Winnik - Bozak - Kessel
JVR - Holland - ???
Komarov - Santorelli - Clarkson
Panik - Smith - Leivo

Player acquired from trading Kadri + Lupul?

I find Clarkson more effective in New Jersey.

We're going to have a decision to make in the next few months with re-signing Winnik and Santorelli; And I would rather move him than Lupul.

Sportsnet has the volume on the crowd turned down.Notice you can't hear the music blasting during a stoppage in play.

Yeah I've thought that too. Never been at the ACC so I can't say anything about how loud it is in person.

 

[saffronleaf]

love how kessel hides the puck and then in one motion snaps it.

The ACC just is going to take a while to get energy back on it. Yearly collapses and mediocrity has sucked the life out of the place. Blowing out the Bruins in one game isn't going to change that sadly. Maybe if they can make the playoffs multiple years in a row.

This! This team has let us down too much, too often! Give the ACC something to cheer about, on a consistent basis, and this will start to repair the trust, and allow the fans to get, and stay excited!

 

[senor martinez]

Totally different player. The play used to die on his stick without fail, now he can actually make things happen. I don't know what he did between the end of the '12-'13 season and now, but it worked.

No no no,, not totally different. He hit then, pested, had the STICK HANDLING. Had chances.... he did although play in the KHL with one of the best teams in the league and led the SCORING there with the first line center being HIM. That there is a lot of icetime and he proved to be that first line center. He can play number 1 center for us in the playoffs. Play that Brian Trottier style of game both ends and still pest it.

 

[Ratboy]

Players whose careers were shortened by injury who were not as good as Lindros are in the Hall.

TRue. hmm

 

[Randman]

8 multi point games for Kessel. Impressive.

 

[bunjay]

I guess people don't realize that different broadcasts have the crowd noise at different volume levels.

it is quiet - but sometimes i think we complain how 'quiet' it is - and it's totally the crowd noise being turned down.

(to be fair - i'd assume the same thing happens in Montreal, and they just compensate. Leafs crowds are just quiet in nature, i honestly think they just want to watch the game and cheer later. people don't like that, but (shrug). i can understand that).

 

[rojac]

Pang on the board, Friedman on the pucks. Why can't Elliott join James, Bob, Darren Dreger, and Aaron?

Because he doesn't want to just do regional games?

He did not have the stick handling 2 years ago. He had hands of solid stone. It was Clarkson-of-last-year bad.

Why is this a unique thing when it comes to Leafs broadcasts?

 

[Bionda]

going to watch the leafs in Buffalo in april. we'll have a more lively crowd there.

Oh, for sure. Lots of fans from St. Catharines etc.. drive over frequently.
We often outnumber them in their own barn, too.

 

[Snow Dog]

The music sounds loud during intermission,but not during the game.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Those empty seats lol

 

[Al14]

22:00 hours, and, we still have the 3rd period to play! Ugh!

Yeah I can understand that too. I rarely really cheer in any way myself, I'm more of a calm watcher.

 

[StringsAttached]

On the ice?

The way it takes him a split second to get it to the forehand and release it with that velocity.

You can tell he was born for that.

 

[Swervin81]

Shut up about game 7, Romanuk... we know.

 

[bunjay]

Turns out Holland is a pretty good player. Boston's strength has been their depth but our 3rd and 4th lines are lightyears better tonight.

 

[NaughtyDog]

commentators sure do love to throw game 7 in our faces whenever they can

 

[keonsbitterness]

22:00 hours, and, we still have the 3rd period to play! Ugh!

Welcome to the old days of televised hockey.

 

[Budsfan]

love how kessel hides the puck and then in one motion snaps it.

That's pretty smart because a Goal Tender can see it coming off the stick and with those now you see it now you don't shots they don't see it until it's in the net.

 

[Ratboy]

Page 41, dangerous territory.

 

[Divine]

Kessel needs to complete the hat trick, maybe that'll give him enough confidence to show up when Chara is back.
