GDT: Leafs at Bruins | HNIC | Nov 9 | 7:00est | #redemption part II

What a bipolar game for the leafs - who's gonna come out in the 3rd>?

I bet it went something like this.. RC, if you don't the ****ing **** out of them and get playing I am going to drill each and every one of you are going to be laying on the ice crying for your mothers.

 

[HockeyGuy82]

it happens often on back to back that a team starts slow, and if they hold off the other team, they get the win.

 

[SprDaVE]

7 slot shots for the Bruins, 5 for the Leafs.

I'm going to guess that this number is going to be skewed further in the favour of the Bruins with their 4 minute powerplay.

Leafs did dominate period 2, but the Bruins dominated period 1 even more.

I think the Bruins had the better quality chances. We had a couple of course, but Reimer had to make more big saves.

Rask made the best though on Kadri. Robbed him of a sure goal with his blocker.

Wonder what Carlyle said in the first intermission lol

How many noticed that it was Carlyle himself who changed the hard matchup and started to roll 3 lines over more? He gave the boys a chance to just play for a change and they responded.

At least 3 times in that period the Kadri line was out against the Kreji line where the hard match up would have McLements line scrambling to get on.

Good on Carlyle... that change allowed the boys to find there skating legs and just play. Less is more from Carlyle behind the bench. His only concern should be getting Kessel away from Chara and Dion on when Kreji is on. Other than that keep rolling with the line change's.

lol where's that user that keeps describing the Leafs as HARD! So hard! Much hard! Wow hard! etc.?

he'd love this performance by the Leafs.

It comes from a "doge" meme, in case you didn't know.

 

[Asif16*]

We are such a hard team.

Carlys a hard ass coach.

Our hardness is out of this earth.

Mclaren makes me hard.

[Swervin81]

but you have to figure, if TSN bids on HNIC (and wins)

it's just going to be
Duthy, Mckenzie, Ward and [fired coach of the week], harping on the same darn thing.

Cuthbert-Ferraro
Cole-Galley
Hughson-Simpson
Miller-Johnson
Brown-Millen

That's how I would stack em up if I was TSN and they won the rights to Saturday games, assuming the pick up several of CBC's pieces since CBC will let them go, given they serve no more purpose to them.

Can the good team come out in the 3rd please...we need that 2nd period team.

Kill off the PP and get back to work!

 

[Hero]

Well, for the first period, they got nervous. For the second period, they had to please us because they got nervous. But the third period.... the third period is when they get funky.

I like the sound of that.

Wish list

- Ashton knock someone out
- Phaneuf goal

 

[bunjay]

Really liking Kulemin's game tonight...I'd sign him not trade him as many suggest...one of the few who wins battles on and off the boards , a skill we are lacking...I was very surprised at Broll's play.Would like to see him up to help with the physicality up front. He's not bad at all skills wise either...

He's better than Clarkson at the stuff Clarkson is supposed to be good at. Kulemin's a truck. It's just so inexplicable the way he's totally lost his offensive instincts.

 

[Fabulous]

Let's have a good period!

 

[Swervin81]

We are such a hard team.

Carlys a hard ass coach.

Our hardness is out of this earth.

Mclaren makes me hard.

-Sopranos

Andi looked damn fine today. If the Leafs were watching when she was on, sopranos would be right on the money about us being the hardest team in the league.

 

[Al14]

More Andy less healy

I'm UP for that!

 

[SprDaVE]

1 penalty killed.

1 and a half more minutes.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

****.

 

[Fabulous]

Wow.

 

[Swervin81]

Oh **** off.

 

[TOG26]

And everyone sits on Reimer again...

 

[TMLeafer]

Seriously

Stop pinning your own goalie.

 

[bankerwannabe*]

why is reimer just laying there?

 

[SprDaVE]

Shiiiiiit.

Such a crappy bounce.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Sigh

 

[FlareKnight]

Gotta love Reimer. "I'm just going to lay here for several minutes, nope not getting up..."

 

[Goose]

Not really surprising.

 

[garce]

If he plays with a broken stick, which was Ranger's, it is a penalty.

Ranger knew whether the stick was broken or not.

Other than that sequence, Kuli has been really good tonite.
