Just win

 

[Roboholic]

Dear Leafs,

Please pull your heads out of your ass tonight.

Warmest regards

 

[Bedards Dad]

Leafs, please win. But if by chance you don't, make it entertaining.

 

[Mat Fratthouse]

we were humbled last night need to step it up. for the love of god sign Ranger and call up Jake the snake Gardiner. Send Holzer and Kostka down.

 

[Pi]

Time to win...although I'm not too confident against the Islanders.

Moulson or Tavares ALWAYS score against us...

 

[Liferleafer]

Dear Leafs,

Please pull your heads out of your ass tonight.

Warmest regards

Can we all sign this Hallmark card?

 

[Kurisu]

leafs lack of first pass and speed on the blue line is going to cost them sooner or later.

 

[Al14]

They have 15 and 16 points in 21 games. .71 and .76 PPG is not being shut down on a regular basis, and definitly not showing up 1 our of every 5 or 6 games.

You may want to remove your head from that dark and smelly place.

Well, you can quote all the stats you want, but, I think they still take too many games off! I'm sticking with my assertion that a more consistent effort is required from both Kessel and JVR.

I won't tell you where you should stick or remove your head. I'm a little more classy than to make that type of a comment.

Cheers and have a nice day.

 

[BBLeafsFan]

Do we know if Frattin is back for tonight?

 

[Parkdale]

Islanders gave the Leafs a beat-down last time. We need to have the good Dion, not the inconsistent one that played against Montreal last night. Need the other big bucks to come better prepared also...Kessel and JVR. Grabovski has to pretend he is playing his hated Canadiens.

 

[FlareKnight]

Want to see some effort here and not just when it comes to throwing hits. That third line remains utterly depressing until Frattin gets back. Kadri can work wonders here, but talk about giving him a handicap.

 

[Warden of the North]

Burn the Boats!

Need to a win to get some distance on 9th!

Can't wait for Lupul and Frattin to be back. Gardiner too. Just pushes the crap downward on the depth chart.

Enjoy your bias.

[Pyrolemur]

Can we all sign this Hallmark card?

I agree. Were they even playing hockey against Montreal?

 

[stakesishigh]

This game worries me.

 

[Schenn]

Lets have a strong comeback game please please please.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

GO LEAFS!

get back on track!

 

[Sonny21]

I think we'll win this, nyi haven't been that good at home just like leafs.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Hey kessel and JVR, wanna show up tonight?

 

[Al14]

Enjoy your bias.

Bias enjoyed.

Kind Regards,
Mr. Classy Guy

Kessel is starting to piss me off when the puck is ringed around to him and he's nowhere near the boards. His effort is piss poor at best, he's slow getting there and if he's there he avoids all contact and tries a crappy little chip at best. It's the only move they know is a hard around and majority of the time it's unsuccessful, then we get hemmed in or a point shot and Screivens flubs a rebound. The islanders are terrible so I don't see a issue today.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Hey kessel and JVR, wanna show up tonight?

Would be nice if Grabo and Kuli did too.

 

[SteveV*]

Would be nice is Grabo and Kuli did too.

Those two were the least of worries last night.

JVR and Kessel, there worst showing of the season. Kessel no effort, JVR had to keep reminding myself he was in the game.
