Game 17 - Battle of Ontario - Sens @ Leafs - Nov 12th, 2011 - 19:00 EST - 5-2 L

Love to see Frattin pot one tonight.

AAAAAHhh thought he had it.

I believe the expression we used to use to describe guys like Frattin was "cockeyed". That dude can't hit an open net to save his life.

Grabovski how can you miss the net from that angle? I hate when players miss the net all the time...

Trying to pick the corner?  Not much separating a shot hitting the net or missing the net.

Well hit the net and you can get a rebound or a goal, miss it and it will likely lead to nothing.

But it shouldn't be a surprise when guy's miss the net.  Jason Blake took a lot of flack for always hitting the goalie in the chest with his shot.  Grabovski can pick corners so he tried to.

But it's not that hard to hit the net, I mean I wonder how many times hockey players miss the entire net when having chances, and that's frustrating. I'd rather have them hit the net and get a rebound.

I don't know fans can be just as vicious when players are hitting the goalie right in the logo.  I say go for the top corner (just above the pad can work too) or low far side for a rebound .  Saves up high don't usually give good rebounds anyways.

LOL at Lupul just about tearing himself in half to stay on side

LOL It worked though, what a team guy.

Ratboy going into the end boards was funny, slapstick hockey.

 

[bustaheims]

Man, what a disjointed period this has been. Nothing interesting until the last couple minutes.

Hah he and Kessel are on tonight I say they strike again.

Steckel is so great to have for moments like those.

With a nice helping hand from Dupuis which bumps Dupuis up a few notches in my book!

But they miss so damn often. I mean can't they aim with a little more safety. Besides they can shoot low too. I mean if we look at pp's there are guys like Lidstrom who almost always hit the net, and then there are those who can't because they have a different priority, or just can't aim.

If and when Connolly comes back I'm not sure I'd take Bozak off that line.  They look really good together right now.

 

[L K]

My god.....Cherry won't shut up about Zigomanis.  And apparently you shouldn't play your good defensive players killing penalties.

 

[ZBBM]

God, Don, GIVE IT UP.  You are just boring any more.

 

[Erndog]

Did I miss something?

Is Connolly really out for half a season with a broken collarbone?

 

[bustaheims]

All I hear is "rabble rabble rabble Zigomanis. Rabble rabble rabble."

No, I'm pretty sure Don missed something. Like taking his meds today.

I don't think so.  But in Bizarro world the Leafs are 130-0 since the start of last season and Zigomanis has killed a billion penalties.

LOL Yeah, I think he called Connolly's Mom and got the wrong info.

 

[mr10am]

I miss Ed Belfour!

the Eddy chants remind me of the epic plays he had against the sens in the playoffs. didn't Nieuwendyk score a hat trick against the sens in a playoff game 7?

I still remember him burning down the left wing and shaming Lalime.

i remember joe snapping a wristshot through Lalime's 5 hole

 

[azzurri63]

Man Don needs to go. Number 1 guy. Shouldn't be out there killing penalties. Connolly is just plain a wimp. Don't matter where he is he's simply injury prone. Gretzky holds the record for shorthanded goals in a career. Guess he should have been on the bench.

He's making Zigomanis million Zigomanis' though and broke his Zigomanis and is the Leafs best Zigomanis and the Leafs Zigomanis would be Zigomanis and not barely better than Zigomanis.
