Game 39 - Tampa Bay Lightning vs Toronto Maple Leafs W7-3

[lamajama]

The Finnish Jr team and the Leafs have the same goaltending.

Edit: less than 2 min left and Fin up 2-1 on Sweden and the Fin goalie decides to try and shoot it out and gives it to a Swede who shoots it
into an empty net. Maybe he has pro-line...

 

[ZBBM]

For God's sake.

Fire Wilson now. Mid game.

 

[Erndog]

As good as the top line are in the offensive zone, man, are they absolutely terrible in the defensive end.

Or, you know, Schenn gets beat in the slot.

He is god awful.

 

[L K]

They just needed more ropes during practice....Schenn has really sucked.

 

[YYZ]

LUPUL!

 

[Propellertop]

Not a PP marker but we'll take it!

 

[ZBBM]

Nice.

Suck is flattering.  He's been brutal.

Nice lupes!!

Still. They've been on for a ton of goals against and pressure against. Defensively, it's not a stretch to say they're the Leafs' worst line.

 

[ZBBM]

OK Gus, start making saves.

 

[bustaheims]

Garon's gonna want that one back.

Exactly how many hearts is that, LHF?

I like that Frattin has speed and tries to beat guys to the outside, but I would love to see him make an effort to cut back inside every once and a while.  He got a shot off there, but he took himself to an angle where he had no chance whatsoever to score.

Also, these things where you get the commentary during commercial breaks can be pretty funny.

Also, what is with the refs throwing guys out of the faceoff constantly.  They seem to throw out a guy 4 out of every 5 faceoffs to the point that most games I see teams (usually the home team) playing the winger to start the draw because they usually get the center to take the draw in the end.  It's stupid and slows the game down because the ref just won't drop the puck.

345 but it's a cut and paste, so I wasn't really counting.....

 

[ZBBM]

Fire the GUNNARSSON!

 

[L K]

Big goal after they gave up a 3 on 1 rush and Gus made a kick save

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

I love our speed tonight. The young guys have the legs going.
