Hurricanes @ Leafs - Dec. 23rd, 2:00pm - SNO, Fan 590

[Zee]

This looks like a team playing their 3rd game in less than 3 days

I know but after going up 3-0 you dare to dream they win easily and have a well deserved break winning 5 straight.  Would suck to lose after that start.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Mikheyev and Engvall both on the offensive blueline while Holl and Muzzin were in deep. Different times for sure.

 

[Zee]

Need the PP to connect here.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Too bad for a bad Marner pass there. Matthews ready in the slot. Hopefully they can get one on the PP.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Millen: slashes to the hand are fine if you don't lose possession of the puck

 

[azzurri63]

What's Brindamour crying about. Canes have gotten couple weak calls on the Leafs.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Good back check by Nylander.

 

[bustaheims]

Good back check by Nylander.

Great defensive play.

 

[ZBBM]

Aaaaaand it's tied.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Brutal by Rielly there. Wtf is he thinking? Off the wall.

 

[azzurri63]

3-0 lead f'n gone.

 

[Zee]

Of course

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Nylander when he turns the puck over: this guy is satan

Rielly when he turns the puck over: well what else was he supposed to do other than pass it directly to the other team

 

[louisstamos]

Woof

 

[ZBBM]

Make it 4-3.  Holy shit.

 

[bustaheims]

I get not wanting to give the puck to Ceci whenever possible, but, he was a pretty decent option there.

 

[bustaheims]

Sigh. Afternoon games.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Sorry Zee.

 

[lc9]

What is the matter with those guys?  All those offensive opportunities and every shot misses the net high and wide.  Just get it on net. 

And then Rielly.  What a terrible turnover.  Tie game.  Rielly is a turnover machine.  And just like that now they trail 4-3.  This team is still horrible defensively. 

Get up 3-0 and now down 4-3.  Brutal.

 

[ZBBM]

Well, as Nik said.  And we all know.  Until Dubas deals with the D this is what you got.
