Tonight?s bottom group are all 3s.

63-33-32
23-3

Looking quite comfortable so far.

Marleau dragging two defensemen with the puck just with his stick is the sort of Saskatchewan strength that Babcock will be replaying in his mind before bed tonight.

This will be 5 straight home games where they can?t muster a goal in the first period.

Nice line change breakout facilitated by Gardiner?s puck control and skating.

He's had a strong period.

I?m guessing Babcock will come out to sing Polak a song.

I just learned Matthews is out for a month, yeesh.  That sucks. When will he have an injury free season?  I realize I?m a few days behind.

5 straight.

 

[herman]

A couple of offensive blueline turnovers (after extended possession) were quashed beautifully by Holl on the lateral pinch to support the vertical defensive pinch. He is a much better skater than anyone else we?ve had on that 3RD slot since forever.

Hyman on the power play, nice!

Will he throw the puck into a corner and then go dig for it himself?

Nope, just head to the front of the net thinking that he's now a goal scorer.

 

[herman]

Hyman with a very sexy shift.

 

[herman]

Tavares? separation forecheck was beautiful to follow up on the turnover Hyman generated. Doesn?t require tremendous glass rattling, just firm positioning and assertive skating.

 

[herman]

Not sure what has changed but the Leafs are winning a lot of puck battles with stronger body positioning tonight.

 

[lc9]

Just can?t score.

 

[herman]

Perfect PK shift for Marner

 

[lc9]

Of course.

Every game seems like we will get shut out.

Tough luck on this tippy tip

Another penalty.  This team is bad.
