Man I love Conacher, guy gives 366%, 436% of the time. Works way harder and takes way more physical abuse than a guy of his stature should.

We still need a lot of work defensively and HAVE to stop sitting back, but this game is an improvement for sure.

And please god MacLean start Lehner next game. I hope I never have to watch another game swing 0-2 in the oppositions favour in a matter of minutes.

 

[Tundraman]

I thought for sure that we would dominate 4 on 4 but alas Andy had to save our bacon.

Conacher had another great game. Like I said in the GDT, love the top 6 the way they lined up tonight. 3rd and 4th lines... meh. We need to make the 3rd faster and more dogged. Pageau will be good one day but he needs some time in Bingo to work on his faceoffs. We can't afford to have 3 out of 4 centres be constantly under 50% in faceoffs. It's near time to see who in Bingo would make the bottom 6 better at any and all positions and make it happen.

Wow they just replayed Spezza's 1st goal. Unless Conacher taps it out from underneath Smith that goal doesn't happen. Love his close in play near the net. It's just what that line needed. despite his size we got a good player for Bishop.

 

[Topside]

I listened to the game on the way back from the Jets game (we think we suck...) and I'm so relieved by the win. It's such a pleasure to hear shreiber call that winner.

Not enough head shaking gifs.

 

[OmniSens]

30 minutes for Karlsson tonight, MacArthur logging the most for the forwards with 21:33

 

[Laphroaig]

Spezza and Conacher were terrific tonight but I'm still trying to figure out what Antoine Vermette did to warrant the third star.

 

[costermonger]

I quite enjoyed that struggle.

Was somebody screwing with the teleprompter again? I only saw Osmack say one thing before the Center Ice feed cut out, and it was about how many games "on the NHL in the ice tonight"...

 

[Still miss Vermette]

Blind Anderson hate - Exhibit A

 

[BonkTastic]

For anyone asking why there is no "Honey Badger" option in the PGT poll: I had to run some errands today, couldn't watch the whole game, so I made the poll in the 1st intermission, before the Conacher Heroics(TM) were a thing. I just got into the house now.

My bad.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Spezza and Conacher were terrific tonight but I'm still trying to figure out what Antoine Vermette did to warrant the third star.

2 assists and was in Andy's face all night.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Yeah, what did Anderson do?

(Other than save the game in OT)

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

Sportsnet highlights for the Senators ... Ah screw it, lets get right to in depth Leafs analysis!

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Looks like we've found some good top 6 combos, now to sort out the bottom six. There is talent there to make up two solid lines within the organization. 3/6 of that bottom 6 tonight probably doesn't deserve to play in the next game.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

Not enough head shaking gifs.

Robin Lehner would have easily won both face-offs.

 

[ATdaisuki]

that is all.

 

[KwanTuM]

Man, I feel like it was just yesterday when we were talking about too much depth in the bottom 6. What happened.

For sure:
Greening-Pageau-Condra

Maybe:
JOB-Zibanejad-Neil

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Man, I feel like it was just yesterday when we were talking about too much depth in the bottom 6. What happened.

Still have Stone, Prince, Zibby and Hoffman in the minors though.

 

[swiftwin]

I love the fact that Spezza got a hat-trick on the same night Alfredsson got his first goal for Detroit.

 

[EssendonBombers]

A bit lucky to get 2 points in this one, but never a better time for a bit of luck to go our way. They played truly horrible for the brief time in which they had the lead.

 

[costermonger]

Can't disagree that. There's no harm in trying something new because there's so little effective hockey being played while the top two lines are on the bench.

 

[spezza111*]

Sending Zibanejad down makes as little sense then as it does now.
He has a good hockey sense and makes really nice quick passes
and dat slapshot

 

[Gus Fring]

Got bored lol
