Red Wings @ Leafs - Jan. 21st, 7:00pm - SN

[Jeremiad]

It's a page turner.

I think, technically, the genre is known as bowel burner.

Perhaps colon cleaner?

 

[Jeremiad]

It's hard to know what comes next after "colon cleaner"...

 

[Jeremiad]

Woll had to end that shit.

Woll had to end that shit.

It's nice when the thread has a theme.

 

[azzurri63]

Horrible moving the puck out of their end late here.

Detroit is fast (and big).

 

[Guilt Trip]

Very important point again. Entertaining game to watch.

 

[Bender]

You knew that as soon as Cowan went back that he was going to cough it up. He's not ready for OT.

 

[L K]

Cowan really needs to sit. That was pathetic. He just isn't an NHL player right now. You breath on him and he falls down

 

[4EVRLEAFAN]

Man that was horrible.

 

[Jeremiad]

Send Cowan back to the AHL.

 

[rdowdall]

I have not seen the Leafs win a game since December 16th.

 

[azzurri63]

Should have been over before that. Brutal OT.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I don't think he was particularly noticeable tonight but still with his breakaway speed and shot (and size/strength) I don't get why McMann isn't going out in OT before any of Maccelli, Robertson, or Cowan.

 

[Joe S.]

Cowan is reminding me of stajan in his first year. Not in a good way. Or even the way Spezza looked in his first couple of seasons.

It might be because he's fairly north-south and not a great playmaker.
He scores more in the dirty areas and we don't see as much of that in OT.
But I have wondered that for some time. I'd just like to see it ... because he could get a breakaway

 

[cabber24]

We complain when he doesn't play and complain when he does, which is it? Anyway, I don't think we're a contender, so development is a good thing.

 

[cabber24]

Anyway, enjoy the gym this summer, Cowan.
