Rangers @ Leafs - Feb. 23rd, 7:30 - SNO, TSN 1050

So stupid that this gets decided by an shootout.

It's an exciting tie, Mr Bettman.

 

[herman]

Great time for my internet to die

 

[Nik]

If ESPN is right ice time wise, Nylander up around 22 minutes tonight.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Ooof. What a shot.

 

[McGarnagle]

If they're going to do a quasi skills competition, I'd sooner see 3 on 3 for another 5 minutes and deal with a potential tie vs a shootout.

 

[AvroArrow]

Atta boy.

 

[Al14]

Putrid effort by Kadri there!

Ditto

 

[CarltonTheBear]

1-7 in the shootout now.

 

[Nik]

That is a point you take with both hands and run before anyone realizes you stole it.

 

[dekedastardly]

Nice to see Nylander finally get a chance in the shootout. Too bad Andersen still sucks in them

 

[disco]

Nov-Dec Andersen gets the Leafs a very valuable point. Helluva game by the netminders.

"You" in this case meaning Red Fred.

 

[herman]

Hard to be down about sort of keeping pace with one of the top teams in the hardest division in the league.

It's awfully hard to look at this game and fault andersen for "losing" the shootout. Which is largely luck based regardless.

 

[lamajama]

Thank God there's no shootout in the playoffs..

Big fan of the stoic katana sheathing celly.

 

[McGarnagle]

I think if the leafs had a young winger that could drive a second line, and be dynamite on zone entry in both 5-5 and the PP, it would have helped a fair bit.

Some luck I'd say sure, but then I'd also say some goalies are much better than others in shootouts. 1-7 is no good. Remember the game some years ago the coach switched goalies for the shootout? If memory serves correct I think Curtis Joseph was one of those goalies.

Yeah, that guy could've blocked some more shots better.
