He has made some nice saves on breakaways and a nice glove save on Kessel but lots of luck as well. On the good side we haven't given up a softee

And that's what happens when you coach your team to stop playing and protect a lead. Horrible they don't deserve to win I hate to say.

I found the hooking the outside pad straight up the post stopped anything from going in short side and I agree the active stick to cut off passes meant you were protecting yourself and not having to depend on the defense.

I'm not blaming him it was actually a question. I see a ton of goalies play like that and drop down against the post instead of just standing up and I wondered if it was something he teaches. If he has been working a lot with Gus I think his angles have gotten better and I can see improvement...

Anyone know if Allaire (sp) teaches the "drop down and grab the post" method of stopping shots from the corner? Maybe they need to show them the stand up and face the puck style instead....oh yeah and Monster, please stay in your net and leave the puck alone! They sure dominated for quite a lot...

There are a few goalies available. I was listening to the radio today and they were saying how Miller wants out of Buffalo possibly. Also if Calgary continues to go down in Flames pun intended they are talking about a rebuild. I'd trade pretty much anyone on the team for Kipper.

I'm glad we finally have a good group of young players to build upon but with the start we had there is no way we should not make the playoffs even with Wilson as our coach.

One game closer to no more Ron Wilson!! YAY!!

I wouldn't say 100% as it was a nice pass in the air but yes he should have been on that man in front. Of course Vanek probably should have received 5 and a game for the knee he threw a couple minutes before. Franson won't be on the powerplay at all when Lyles gets back in the lineup. All I...

Well he has been a bit better recently but I still can't help seeing Hal Gill when he is out there... I have just never been a big fan of his I guess.

Hmm you must be watching a different Franson. I don't think I have seen a defenseman shoot as many shots into shinpads in my life. At least Schenn has the sense to shoot the puck wide off the back boards instead of trying to shoot through someone directly in front of him. Everytime I see Franson...

I'd much rather send Franson than Schenn.

Not a scape goat at all but I'd rather see Coburne getting the icetime. Ziggomanis is a good penalty killer as well. Actually they did score a goal at all while he was on the PK, what make Dupuis any better?

So they have changed their whole 'defensive'scheme short-handed, they have changed the personel, they changed all the special teams coaches so where does the problem stem from?

Lots of sucking tonight. The call on Dupuis was not good, it was a follow through on a clearing attempt. Macarthur's penalty on my team would have him on the 4th line for the rest of the night. Completely stupid and lazy penalty that changed the whole game. Dupuis is pretty much crap in...

Wow I'd be getting fined by the league after that game. That was one of the worst games I have seen called in a long time. Sort or reminds me of Fraser refereeing a game. They seemed to play in spurts tonight and kept getting dragged back by the penalty calls. Liles didn't look very good...

Nope just to many defencemen who were the future of the team like Iafrate, Kenny Johnson, Tom Kurvers, Dave Burrows to name a few of the MANY. That doesn't even include some of the horrible trades. Of course Franson for Lebda was a GREAT trade

Neither one is the solution and Franson will never be "hope for the future" the Leafs need unless he is used in a trade

So Komi is on pace for +15 or so and Franson -40? LOL don't really care for either but Komi plays the body more when he is playing a simple gome. Franson would do better if he played the body more and wasn't so soft for such a big guy.
