Oates said phaneuf played a great game

Pumping up his trade value, obviously!

Komarov: A definition of clutch but that credit goes to Gardiner who made the play.

Yea? What about the Holland goal shorthanded assist?

Clarkson didn't get a point, but he had a very strong night.

Very punny!

 

[Oan]

Still think Leo lit it up twice tonight.

Yup, 2+1 for Leo.

 

[Guy Boucher]

I feel bad for Leivo. The guy finally gets the call and is playing 5ish minutes with Matt freaking Frattin. I like Leivo, a lot, but I don't think he's good enough to make much of that situation.

Leivo didn't do anything to deserve more ice time. Bad penalty and a bunch of turnovers. If you are on the 4th line you need to manage the puck keep it out your net and cycle in the O zone.

Do that and you get more ice time

 

[Randman]

Leo with 9 points already, took him 42 games last time in Toronto. Definitely worth the money so far, hope he doesn't get injured, ever.

Looks like the KHL has improved him

Beautiful screen on the Polak goal.

Oates said phaneuf played a great game

I decided to key on Phaneuf tonight for whatever reason and gave up after half a period, he was in full pylon mode for most of the game.
Sure he gets the tough assignments but there's a definite cap to how highl your team can finish when Dion/Franson are your top pairing.

 

[Rare Jewel]

An interesting win at least.


Bad start, But I liked the first period overall, Save for that last goal(no pun intended). 2nd was meh. Robidad with and terrible pass to Gardiner on the tying goal.

3rd was an improvement. I wanted the Kessel's line changed up after the 2nd, But w/e.

Leo and Holland had fantastic games.

On to Ottawa.

 

[leburn98]

Corporal leads the way to victory. Now bring on the Sens (extra excited since I will be attending the game)

 

[TheGreat]

WILD Game !! Go leafs Go , but to be honest i don't know where this team will go , LEO the LION , Im so glad hes back the man is beast and putting points this year dam and thats just extra

 

[Amadeus]

Bernier was excellent. Can't fault him for any of those goals, save for maybe Zucarello's.

Clarkson didn't get a point, but he had a very strong night.

Looked damn good on a line with Nazem Kadri.

 

[Al14]

Beautiful screen on the Polak goal.

Nice shot from Polak too!

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Bernier does not look like the Bernier of last year.

I focus on... Well everyone, crosseyed usually watching this team. Dion moved very little and expended minimal energy/effort.

actual NHL.com pun for this game

"Power of be-Leaf"

I am dissapoint

 

[Antropovsky]

Komarov is the real leader on this team, he leads on the ice and off it seems like everyone on his team respects and looks up to him.

 

[Al14]

Bernier does not look like the Bernier of last year.

It's obvious, he's being assimilated by Reimer!

Face offs:

Kadri 68%
Bozo 64%
