Healy is consistently full of it but I would have given Zibby the second star right behind Greening tonight.

I don't think he understands the difference between star of the game and star/player of the week.

Bishop will start against Montreal ... no reason to switch to Lehner ... keep the hot goalie in net ...

Benoit is much better than I thought it's surprising no one gave him a serious chance. I don't see him going back down this season even if he rotates in and out with other D.

I think his size was quoted as being the reason he wasn't called up to the NHL, but my observation is he is tougher than he looks and plays with intelligence.

As a Leaf fan, I am impressed.

You guys are down your #1 G, #1 C, #1 D and #1 RW and yet you guys are still on a 4 game win streak.

Now, I am not going to say you guys dominated us, because neither team really had a great game. However, the difference was two bobbled picks by one of our goalies, and it wasn't yours.

Kudos for the win guys, and don't worry.... we will kill you guys next time ;)

It's his size + his average foot speed. Most smaller defensemen in the NHL have good skating ability to make up for it.

I'm not convinced he's more than a 7th defenseman at the NHL level on a Cup contender, but hey, it's working for the Sens right now.

Dunno. I'm not sure I'd call Bishop "hot". It's not like he had many tough chances to deal with. I'd like to see what Lehner can do.

Looks like they screwed up the order. Team 1200 had him as the third star.

I was thinking that too. Once NHL.com had Jay-Bo as the first star when he had no points, and was -1. IIRC two players on the opposing team each had 2 goals and they were 2nd and 3rd stars.

Someone posted a gif on Reddit. Best part of the game, IMO
