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

[AvroArrow]

4 goals in 1:48!

 

[Mikhail Bloodnovsky]

Now we know why Tampa is 12th and we are 10th. The goalies on both teams are just awful.

This is like a video game.

 

[AvroArrow]

Downie is a coward.

 

[maplesyrup]

I'm not sure Stamkos will want to dance with Dion.

 

[azzurri63]

Downie looks like he just did a line of coke.

 

[L K]

Putting Downie on the ice in situations like that should be an automatic suspension.  He's nothing more than a blatant instigator.

 

[Stebro]

I don't like Downie

 

[Tigger]

Yes, let's just let the guy who leads the league in goals wide open on a non-odd-man-rush.

I don't see how that was Kadri's fault.  Aulie was slow getting back and Phaneuf didn't take away the shot or the pass.

Kadri was on too long but I think it was Gardiner that changed with Aulie at kind of a sucky moment.

Kessel, if I got it right, bobbled the puck before that too.

I really don't like Downie or his antics. He's like another Avery and the refs should see that.

 

[ZBBM]

Downie is doing just what he's paid to do, the little ??

 

[Arn]

4-3 and it's been a pretty terrible game from both teams. Ugly hockey my friends...

Ugly, but in a way highly entertaining!

 

[azzurri63]

Downie smart enough to stay away from Aulie. Then looks for Boyce. Phaneuf looked like he still had his skate guards on.

Yup, can't blame Aulie there, Gardiner changed as Lupul got the puck and passed it across the ice instead of dumping it deep.

 

[L K]

So the count on that:

Downie with a jumping elbow to Phaneuf in the corner.  Chases Phaneuf to the front of the net and punches him/hits him high twice.  Pushes him to the ice and hits him again in the head. 

Phaneuf calls him out, Downie does nothing.  Aulie comes over and Downie chickens.  Downie then gets engaged with much smaller Darryl Boyce.

Kadri was also dipty-doodling at the blue line just prior to that, ignoring the fact he has team mates which is kind of the knock on  him.

Sure he would. Dion never drops the gloves. He just tries to wrestle them around while staring at them mean-like.

The big farm boy said "I've seen enough"!

Leaf PP. That was pretty yellow by Downie.
