[Indrew]

What are you talking about? He's shown zero confidence in Lehner and Wiercioch. Zibanejad at the start of the year. He treats players unfairly

Is it zero confidence in those guys, or more confidence in others?

I'm with you on the D. I don't understand why Wiercioch gets passed over for players like Phillips, Corvo or Gryba. He must have his reasons but I can't explain it.

 

[derriko]

So what is the tie breaker nowadays? Is it regulation wins or goals for? If its goals for and we win tomorrow then we would pass the Laffs for the final wildcard spot. They have 2 less goals for and we have 1 game in hand

I don't understand how Anderson inspires confidence more than Lehner. Anderson makes himself look small,and doesn't challenge shooters. Lehner has a big presence in net, is a big game goalie and confidence throughout the roof with a perfect mix of focus and rage/energy.

Lehner is right at the peak most games

If the teams have the same GP, it goes ROW, then head-to-head, then goal differential.

Regulation wins. So the Leafs lose the tiebreaker to pretty much everyone.

 

[Golden]

Huge game tomorrow. I think it's smart to go with Andy to try and get him to bounce back after a weaker night in goal. But Mac shouldn't be afraid to pull him if the game starts to go south fast.

 

[dasboot]

Got to work tomorrow, **** afternoon games.

 

[StefanW]

Big game played at 2 o'clock in the freaking afternoon. I hope that the Sens left the whole playing like crap in afternoon games behind when they started to turn the season around.

 

[BonkTastic]

2pm = 2am for me.

I'm out for this one. I only get up in the middle of the night to watch Playoff games.

 

[ffayyca]

Off topic, my vlc script is down. Anyone else have this problem?

 

[Laoghaire]

Andy is 6 - 0 - 2 in his last 8 starts. Lehner couldn't do that down in Bingo much less up here.

I hope VLC is working because this will be blacked out in my area...ya know...because Morrisville is so close to the NYC area...

I can lend you my Adfreetime password if you want.

No commitment.

I will give you a chocolate chip cookie if you stay up for the game.

I'll miss you.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

If Andy struggles, this place will implode.

And rightly so.

But I guess at this point PMac has decided that if we are gonna go into the playoffs, it's gonna be with Andy at the helm.

I kinda would have liked to see Lehner show his stuff, buy hey. Why not staple Lehner to the pine some more. He's getting some seriously valuable development sitting there every night rocking Zib's hat.

 

[Qward]

**** me

Pretty sure Paulrus is an HF invention.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Best players play!

Well, Lehner started the game against Minny after Andy played a great game against Nashville.

Anyways, need a W here to make up for that pissed away point from last night.

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Sens are going to win tomorrow for sure! Im going. They are undefeated when Im in attendance this year. Its a lock.

You're all very welcome. Feel free to send Vcash of gratitude in my direction.

 

[Back in Black]

If Neil is in, I doubt it

I miss Neil. Love the energy he brings to the Team!

 

[Super Cake]

If we win tomorrow and the devils lose tomorrow, we are in a playoff spot.

 

[QuietOnTheFront]

Talk about what have you done for me lately? You go 6-0-2 over your last 8 games and all of a sudden a goalie who has 2 wins in his last 8 is perceived as better. Only on HFboards.

Anderson had been playing incredible prior to last nights OT loss. He had one bad period. Why jump ship and completely crush his confidence at this point? He's earned the coaches confidence as of late. Therefore go with what is bringing you success.

To heck with the score last game, snit and bad bounces happen, I'm excited about how the team is playing the last few games.

They will need it all tomorrow, CBC + a 2 pm start is like a double jinx.
