Guest Johnny Bass Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Man the leafs looked a little tired! They didn't pick it up until the third(Thats two games in a row). They got outshot for the first time. Even though the ranger defense was blocking shots galore. The only reason we didn't smoke the Rangers last game was one word. Lundqvist. We should have ate them with their back up goalie. They don't even have Drury! The two goals scored by the rangers were a result of weak man to man coverage. As I stated before. The defense have to play the body more. They were walking into our endzone with ease. We couldn't get into their endzone because their defense men would get physical at the blueline. Thats why our powerplay is having a hard time setting up. But once they do, it looks good. They just have to work on the onetimers. Not enough shots or opportunities(Rebounds). We have to start mixing up the lines. Did I hear correct on the TV? Versteeg was on the 3rd line in Chicago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbailey Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 i don't know whats goin on with phaneuf he can't seem to get his shots off, and the transition play last night was really slow, hopefully they can pick it up next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinger Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I noticed for the last two games they have been shooting into the opponent's shin pads and pants. Gotta get the puck to the net, then good things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmaster4 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 The Leafs were 4-0-0 with Gunnarsson, and since Lebda has played they are 0-1-1. Lebda took the goaltender interference call that led to the overtime loss against NYI (even though it was a pretty weak call), and he had some pretty bad moments last night were he didn't clear pucks, pinched at a bad time, or just didn't finish his checking assignment. i agree with you lebda is not looking good at all. I am getting frustrated watching him play he makes poor decisions and takes untimely penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting frustrated watching him play he makes poor decisions and takes untimely penalties. Funny how you guys should mention that. My brother, and he watches hockey religiously(Not only leafs but every single game). And he said the same thing. I dont know what the heck he was doing on the ice in overtime to begin with!Thats Wilson's error. You cant really blame the kid for a bad ref call. And he did get another stupid penalty yesterday.The guy is just an average bottom of the barrel, NHL'er..... But with what I seen? You cant blame one guy. You have to blame the team......

tb4me Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Wilson noticed it too. Lebda is sitting out tonight; Gunnarsson is in. This is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassmaster4 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 poor defensive play by the leafs tonight. way too many odd man rushes given up on bad pinches by the defensemen i noticed that against the rangers as well, last three games have been hard to watch. Has me thinking what if those first four games were just a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to start mixing up the lines. Did I hear correct on the TV? Versteeg was on the 3rd line in Chicago? One of the announcers made what might be an important observation last night about Versteeg. He averaged 5 minutes less per game with Chicago. Factor that in with the increased presssure on him to play to first line expectations and it might help to explain why he's struggling. Or maybe it's just another lame excuse. I dunno.

trevy727 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 The leafs blew their load early, they're done! Where's the hero Clarke Macwho been for last couple games? They aren't going to make the playoffs again. Go Rangers Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Johnny Bass Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Wilson noticed it too. Lebda is sitting out tonight; Gunnarsson is in. Gunnarson didn't prove any better. He played the puck and got burned twice, and Phaneuf? Whats his plus minus now? Not playing the body is to blame for almost(if not every) goal. We're gonna make the playoffs. We just have to make a few adjustments. Wilson's gonna go soon, and Phaneuf has to learn to play the body. He does have a good one timer though. Musky Matt. What place are your Senators in again, in our division? Oh ya. LAST!!!LOL Where are the leafs? FIRST! We should beat Florida but Boston will decide what kind of a team we are.

We're in the process of rebuilding. As far as Boston? We will see how that trade works out! So far Kessel's got 6 goals! He's gonna have more goals then the entire first line of the Senators.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many did Macarthur get the last 2 games?? I didn't mention Macarthur but he is already doing way beyond what was expected of him. I expect Kaberle, Phaneuf, Armstrong, Kulimen, Vertseeg, and Grabovski to pick up their scoring. We need to mix up the lines. Only time will tell!

Roy Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I moved to Toronto in '61 and the Leafs took the cup in '62, '63 and '64...It would be a small price for the Leaf organization to buy me a house in Toronto today.
