Blue Jackets @ Leafs - Jan. 8th, 7:00pm - TSN4, Fan 590

What a weak call. Also is anyone surprised Polak took another penalty? Why are we still playing him?

 

[herman]

Yes, Andy.

Jeez, why is this clown in the lineup?  He's not a help on the pk, because he's the guy in the box 75% of the time...

kristen_shilton: Polak has taken 16 penalties in 24 games this season. But the #Leafs killed that one off. Back to even strength, tied 0-0.

This week, on unsolved mysteries . . .

Dermott with a sweet cross ice cover of Gardiner?s pinch.

 

[herman]

Super aggressive gap up by Dermott to nullify a Gardiner turnover at the blueline.

Thank you Noodles for highlighting it.

 

[herman]

Dermott covered again beautifully for Gardiner when he face planted into the boards on a pinch.

 

[herman]

I guess that?s technically interference on Dermott.

 

[herman]

Hainsey with a huge block with his butt I think.

 

[herman]

Nylander is very deft at picking pucks off the wall. His stick lifts are perfectly timed.

 

[bustaheims]

Having fun, herman?

 

[ZBBM]

Hainsey & Co. excellent on all 3 kills.  He and Dermott the best Leafs so far.

I started watching this game at the start of the second. I'm having trouble believing the Leafs managed 10 shots in the first. How did they look?

Started well. Felt like they tailed off as the period went on. Looked better than they have in the 2nd - which isn't saying much.

 

[ZBBM]

10 SOG halfway thru is not going to get it done.

Of course penalties are 3-0 against us so that doesn't help.

Having fun, herman?
