Islanders @ Leafs - Jan. 4th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

Don't get it. Marner doesn't turn or anything, gets hit right on the numbers in front of the ref and nothing?

Kind of looked like boarding/hit from behind, didn't it?

 

[TML fan]

Komarov hits Marner directly in the numbers, face first into the glass, 3 feet from referee.

Ref is like "naahhh"

Apparently Marner had to sell it more.

 

[ZBBM]

NYI v TOR
Trotz v Keefe
Old school v New school
Fortress v Missile
Furnace v Snowmobile

Which will prevail??

Did to me.
That was a low chance period for sure.

The leafs have played very few good teams over the winning stretch. It will be interesting to see if they can start to turn up the offense against the islanders or if they can only do it against bad teams...

 

[lc9]

Someone needs to win a faceoff.  Isles all over the leafs to start the period. Most of it because of clean faceoff loses. 

 

[lc9]

7-1 shots this period.  Get it going boys. 

 

[ZBBM]

A bit of a preview of playoff-type defense.

 

[TML fan]

Rielly sucks now. What happened??

 

[lc9]

Islanders are the most boring team in the league.  Basically a left wing lock style of play.  Zero fun watching them play. 

 

[lc9]

Rielly sucks now. What happened??

Been all year.  Been the leafs worst defenseman. Doesnt make  sense. 

 

[Guilt Trip]

Stupid Rielly. Wtf is he doing? It's a constant theme with him. Hutch saved his ass and Barrie played it perfect. No pass.

 

[lc9]

Even when the leafs get chance they miss the net by 20 feet.  It will break.  Screw the islanders. 

 

[Hobbes]

A few more really nice saves from Hutch. It would be nice if he could get his confidence back up and get on a bit of a roll here. Would certainly change the complexion of what Dubas has to accomplish before the trade deadline (as opposed to hunting for a better backup with the much nicer crop of possibilities this summer).

 

[ZBBM]

There's a bit of a look finally.

All the Leafs D have played well except 44.  The wheels have simply come off.  He's never looked this bad in his whole career.

 

[princedpw]

Ok, one scoring chance for the leafs. Maybe the Islanders will get tired eventually and start making mistakes?

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man

 

[Guilt Trip]

What a move by Kappy! Engvall finishes.
