Wings @ Leafs - Mar. 29th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

[L K]

Montreal is up 2-0 on Florida
Tampa is tied 2-2 with Buffalo

A Montreal win and a Leafs loss eliminates the Leafs chances of catching them.  A Tampa win and a Leafs loss puts the Leafs at 1 point away from elimination.

BWA HA HA.

Make it 8

Bad play by Gardiner on the initial turnover on the powe play.  But Dion let his man go to the net without being on top of him which led to the 1st goal.  And Dion had the puck bounce off his skate which led to the weak shot on the 2nd goal.  2 minus plays in about 1:38.  Yikes!

there is always 10 years from now.

Thank God it's Earth Hour.

Our clocks go forward tonight. Would be good if they'd go forward now and I could see the score to help me decide if this is worth sticking with tonight

I go to bed, no need to stay awake that long, the game is clearly over

 

[Arn]

Yeah. Every bounce is going against the Leafs.

The "luck" of all those shootout wins is balancing out.

Mathematically eliminated? That can't be right, can it?

 

[Stronger Than All]

for god sake turn the lights off in the ACC

The #leafs have trailed by two goals at some point in each of the last nine games.

Come on, Leafs fans.  Where's the chants?

 

[L K]

3-1

11 goals by Bernier in 3 games.  Can't win if your goalie gives up 4 goals a game.  .879 SV%

James Reimer in March - .896 SV%

So looking at tonight's lineup, and ignoring contracts (other than Phaneuf and Clarkson cos I can't work out a way to get rid) who would I LIKE to keep?

Kessel - Kadri - JVR
Lupul - ? - ?
Kulemin - Bozak - Clarkson
D'Amigo - ? - Bodie

Phaneuf - ?
Rielly - ?
Gardiner - ?

Bernier
? (I'd keep Reimer but I suspect he wants out).

Coach: ?

Coverage by this team is just unbelievable. Just don't understand how difficult it can be to play man on man. As much as I'd like Carlyle gone these players for the most part are clueless.

I think that's about right. Throw Holland in there. Keep Gunnarsson, maybe he shouldn't be on the top pairing but he still provides great value. I'm fine with moving Lupul for a top-4 defenceman and replacing him with a cheaper option via free agency.

Pretty much have to keep Gleason for the same reason.  He's a garbage defenseman...well bottom pairing defenseman making 4M on cap hit.  Excellent use of those cap dollars.

At least his contract isn't longer than Li... nevermind.

Anyone else watching on GCL through an Xbox 360?  Getting closed captioning and no way to turn it off.  It's maddening.

I'd assume you already looked online, but I found this:

On your controller you will simply move the left analog stick in order to bring up the option panel. From there you will simply move over to the Advanced Options tab, from there locate subtitles and select this option so that the CC will turn itself off at this time.

Or this?

On the positive, Reilly looks terrific tonight. Wheels, vision.. give the kid 2 more years, and wow.
