Game 7 - Leafs @ Habs - Saturday Oct 22nd 2011 - 19:00 EST - 5-4 Win

[Beowulf]

Kule's got the tying marker. He in particular has been fighting it a lot early in the season but two things haven't changed with him: 1) Work ethic 2) Going hard to the net.

Lets hope this can spark that line.

Next Healy will want the league to review hot dog vendors...

OMG JLO!

 

[Kaberle15]

don't care who scored, drive to the net and get rewarded.

Now we need another one, don't want to turn this one in a 3 points game.

Fortunately for the Leafs, Price has not looked particularly good tonight, and he's lucky the Habs aren't trailing by a few. Not exactly a well goaltended game tonight.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

A win in regulation would be sweet. Come on boys, score one more and hold on for dear life.

 

[ZBBM]

I've always defended Gus, but he's got to win this game now.  The team hasn't given up on him.  Get it done Gustavsson.

BOS was averaing less than 2 goals until met the Monster. Habs had only 13 goals all season bf tonight, have 3 on Gustavsson in half-game..

 

[Beowulf]

Just get it to OT and get the point, please. Anything else is a bonus.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

A lot of you are being 10 times harder on Gus than you ever were on Reimer.

Reimer after 42 GP - .920 SV%, 24 W

Gus after 66 GP - .897 SV%, 22W

Gus while playing the odd good game has largely shown nothing. Reimer has shown he can win and has had more good games than bad.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

This gardneir kid is pretty good!

 

[lamajama]

I think this has been Gardiner's best game so far.

 

[Scot4bz]

This gardneir kid is pretty good!

Lots of poise for a young D-man!

He's made a few bad turnovers, but has always recovered nicely.  His speed is great.

I'm just saying on a goal by goal basis right now. Reimer has given up his share of stinkers this year, including tonight.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Steckel is a face off winning machine.

 

[lamajama]

At this point I'm thinking of doing this (LaLaLaLa) for about a month and then checking out how we're doing...

Yep the eyes shut are appropriate too...for the next 5 min anyway.

 

[Bender]

We're bitching about Gus but Price has nearly the same SV% right now...

 

[bustaheims]

Gus while playing the odd good game has largely shown nothing. Reimer has shown he can win and has had more good games than bad.

The big difference I see between them other than numbers is in attitude. Reimer seems to have a "bend but not break" type of mentality - even when he gives up a bad goal or two, he tends to manage to keep the Leafs in the game and/or help them gain some momentum at a key point. Gustavsson, however, tends to tailspin a little bit when things start going bad for him - he just doesn't have the mental fortitude required to be an NHL goalie.

If Gus jumped in front of a bus, it would pass right over his shoulder without hitting him.
