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

[Duffman955]

Franson having his best game since game 2

 

[Quares27]

Man we are playing so well right now but I think if we don't score before the end of the period the Bruins will shut it down defensively in the 3rd

 

[garce]

Man Dougie is soft for a big guy.

 

[DoubleDouble*]

Kadri has just been very lacklustre. We need this kid to be better.

 

[TOG26]

Mcclement's been solid tonight

The guy is a work horse night after night. Just too bad he doesn't have much for hands around the net.

 

[Asif16*]

Ughhh why cant we finish.

Its always frustrating against the bruins.

 

[saffronleaf]

We're really dominating now.

If we play like this, I won't even be mad if we lose.

But seriously though, lets get a goal!

 

[Gallagbi]

bad change there by Kadri, get off or hustle

Looked hurt

 

[ULF_55]

Win or lose this is how I want to see them play.

 

[Stats01]

A lot better period by the boys. Just have to capitalize on our chances.

 

[mcleex]

Much much better second period. However watch Boston get an ugly ass lucky goal in the final minute

 

[The Legend]

Ok man, go back to watching hockey.

Must have been us being hit on our arses that changed the momentum of the game. Golly gee.

Just ask yourself - if the fight really had an effect on "momentum", wouldn't that have happened right after? Or a minute after? Or two minutes after?

 

[WestCoastLeafs]

McClement almost looked like a scorer the way he stepped into the open ice to get a shot.

 

[mikebel111*]

Great period so far. Kadri has been buzzing

 

[Paradoc]

Great effort by the leafs this period.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Man Dougie is soft for a big guy.

The Joe Colborne of defensemen.

 

[Daisy Jane]

I agree. It seems like Boston is getting very tired. Anyone else notice this?

the one thing the Leafs (and Chicago) showed is that once the team gets skating/hitting, the Bruins have issues keeping up. so if you play the Bruins game (slow, and more middle ice), that's how the Bruins trap you. once you turn on the jets and go from the outside and then cut into the offensive zone, the Bruins peter out.

 

[frizzer1]

jay McClement...like a ballplayer good field, no hit...has no offensive skill..

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Man we are playing so well right now but I think if we don't score before the end of the period the Bruins will shut it down defensively in the 3rd

Clarkson and Phaneuf's physical play is why we woke up and are now pushing the game. Too bad it didn't start sooner.

Only down 1, still a lot of the game to go.

 

[Wilma]

When we skate hard on the cycle, we are a tough team to deal with

 

[Quares27]

Man Dougie is soft for a big guy.

Seriously soft... how long before he is traded for "not fitting the system"?

 

[LeafsMonster]

I thought kadri look much better this perio. Not sure what people expect from him but I like his play right now.

 

[thewave]

Neither Lupul nor Kadri were getting anything done before the fight happened, though. That along with Phaneuf's two big hits seemed to go right to everyone's legs.

I agree, credit given where it due.

 

[mikebel111*]

Kadri has just been very lacklustre. We need this kid to be better.

He has been good

 

[Snow Dog]

I agree. It seems like Boston is getting very tired. Anyone else notice this?

That's how the rope a dope works.
