GDT: Toronto vs Pittsburgh||Oct 26 7:00 PM||CBC|

[Leafs at Knight]

Meh, it still wasn't a good pass attempt.

Actually it was considering Franson? would've been all alone in the slot.

 

[Kurisu]

Leafs are allergic to shooting the puck. Defencemen are afraid of skating with the puck up the ice, and Leafs always dump it in with no forechecker.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

I think I counted 3 times tonight that Ranger tried to pinch and then Pens had a 2-on-1 because of it.

 

[TMLer]

That is the most erotic toilet paper commercial ever....kinda turned on

 

[LeafsNation149]

he really couldn't.

he had a chance but took too much time although it was a good shot

Your a sick man

 

[Erdinger]

It's almost as if the Refs in these league don't watch highlights or share stories. He singe handily caused Oilers to loose. You would think Refs would pay attention to certain players.

I'm sure the league actually wants them calling Crosby's dives

I don't think D is afraid, they are told not to. It wont' surprise me if Randy told his players not to rush the puck.

Especially this year, we lost a lot of speed compare to last year.

 

[Paradoc]

And if the pass connected the D (was it Rielly) was open in the slot with a shot on goal.

Yeah... terrible pass attempt

Rielly was wide open, guess they don't want him to score.

Yet it went off a player so yeah...

Kessel hasn't been noticeable tonight at all.

 

[rojac]

Reimer and Fleury playing big too.

Awful refereiing. No penalties pens. ever.

There have been four penalties against the Pens (all in the first) and five penalties against the Leafs (four in the first, one in the second).

 

[ULF_55]

First line looks like crap tonight.
Defense other than Ranger is looking pretty good.
As per usual, when the Leafs are in the game the goaltender is the reason.

 

[diceman934]

Reimer bad rebound. Leafs only 4 shots this period...seemed like more but they'll definitely be lucky to get out of the second tied.

Too Funny.....Reimer has had good rebound control and is having an outstanding game, and you have people on here like this.

 

[rojac]

Kessel hasn't been noticeable tonight at all.

Maybe he and JVR are better with Bozak than with Kadri.

 

[Paradoc]

Maybe he and JVR are better with Bozak than with Kadri.

Could be.

 

[fahad203]

Maybe he and JVR are better with Bozak than with Kadri.

He wasn't very noticeable against Anaheim and bang, 3 goals.

 

[mikebel111*]

Phaneuf really good. Kadri pretty good as well.

 

[StringsAttached]

Consistency is important.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Kessel and JVR have certainly not taken off this game with a new pivot.

Ranger is again not giving me much hope he will be a factor for us this year.

Goaltending strong again.

Yep, checkmark to all.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Rielly was wide open, guess they don't want him to score.

Raymond was on his off-wing with a guy in between trying to take away any pass.

Half of the posts in this thread has been about Toronto never shooting (and Ranger). Shooting in that situation is absolutely the right decision.

 

[Paradoc]

Too Funny.....Reimer has had good rebound control and is having an outstanding game, and you have people on here like this.

Reimer been playing great so far but his rebound control is terrible.

 

[Mr Scarface*]

There have been four penalties against the Pens (all in the first) and five penalties against the Leafs (four in the first, one in the second).

I know, but not real penalties. Real hard penalties.

We are the hardest team in the league.

 

[Asif16*]

Ranger sucks so much its its not even funny. Cant wait till Fraser is back.

And also, none of our defenceman can get any shot through from the point. Every shot gets blocked and goes the other way. Really frustrating.

 

[Tony Romo]

Your a sick man

LOL

 

[mikebel111*]

Team playing good IMO. Time to get some chances now
