Devils' locker room opened after tonight's game and Johan Hedberg was sitting at his locker -- only player in the room.

That's just poor team support, feel bad for the guy -- not his fault that Brodeur has a wonky back.

 

[SeenSchenn2]

he's where he was.

He should be in the line-up.

This is the way to run a team. There have been games when they should have done this with Phaneuf or Kessel.

Hey just came back from work. How did reimer look tonight? Any weak goals?

 

[sangreale]

Sorry all the goalie 'coaches' have gone to the film room to look for flaws in his game. I am sure they will report in soon.

 

[saint2e]

One thing I noticed with Reimer vs. Scrivens: Reimer gives up way less rebounds. Scrivens is usually pretty good about directing those rebounds into harmless areas, but he gets burned from time to time. Reimer is like a black hole by comparison.

Definitely different styles/approaches, but I like both goalies and their abilities.

This is the way to ruin a team. You don't leave a teammate, especially a goalie, behind like that.

Dion got credited with 10 hits tonight.

That's ****** on the Devil's part. Who leaves a teammate by himself like that?

Win together, lose together.

Man Boston and Montreal need to start losing some games.

The Northeast is ****ing intense. 4 of the top 7 teams are from there.

 

[go_leafs_go02]

4 Canadian teams in the Top 8 as well...

Winnipeg was in a playoff spot a few days ago. Can you imagine if 5 Canadian teams make the playoffs?!?

CBC and TSN will be very happy.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Looking again, the Southeast is weak as hell. 3 of the bottom 5 teams are from there, with Winnipeg exempting themselves from the bottom five due to having one more point than like 5 other teams.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

The forwards are a problem. Too much soft play. The defense is stressed big time when the puck can't even get past center ice because they don't want to take a hit or get physically engaged. They came out on fire in the third and won the game. Forechecked hard and won battles and races. Hopefully a confidence builder going forward. Carlyle must have tore into them big time.

 

[The Reaper]

No weak ones

 

[Crispy Crust]

Big Ups to Jay McClement. A very efficient and smart hockey player. That play he made at the end to slow down the puck and wrap it around the boards was beautiful. Solid addition to the bottom 6 and extremely versatile.

 

[BertCorbeau]

What's really impressive is the Leafs are tied for second in the league in ROW ... I think that'll be very important come the end of the year, since the standings will be very tight and we'll probably see some ties in the point totals of some teams

‏@Ledger_NJDevils
Johan Hedberg blamed himself for the loss. Says he haz to make the big saves

Coach Pete DeBoer admitted he is worried about Hedberg’s confidence.


he needs to get drunk somewhere

Some solid stuff to be sure. Seems like he feels the need to point out things Kadri can do better just to keep him honest. Such a talented guy that you want him to continue getting better and know how good he can be. A balancing act since can't have nothing but criticism either when he's often being your best forward.

I'm certainly with him on not declaring anything. This team has to earn whatever result they get. Haven't accomplished anything yet, but being in a playoff spot about half way through a season.

 

[Schenn]

Wasn't pretty, but it'll have to do.

Really like his attitude after this game .. Reimer definitely held the Leafs in there (as did a couple posts) and the team responded in the third

Another big game on Wednesday ... Gotta redeem against the Sens, get ahead of them in the standings!

I would love to see the Leafs trade Grabo for Weiss. Florida fans have responded positively to the idea on the trade board not that that means anything.

I really like Grabo and understand his defensive play adds alot of value but he just isnt worth 5.5M with the way he is playing right now and I think Wiess would sign for atleast a mil less. And then convert Bozak into the 3rd line center.

What? Weiss has put up better numbers then Grabo and you think he's gonna take less? Not to mention he'd be one of only a few good centers available this summer. He's either getting the same or more than Grabo. Would love to have him though.
