Canucks @ Leafs - Feb. 8th, 6:00pm - CBC, SN 590

I honestly feel bad for the average fan who has to pay big money to watch this crap. Team takes too many nights off. Not sure if it's due to the break or what but pretty lethargic effort so far. Whole team looks disinterested.

Not much that can be done about that.  Except maybe giving the coaches whips.

95% of them are sipping cool drinks on the beach in their minds already. Seriously.

Ya they can bench someone once in a while no matter who the player.

Canucks ice the puck and Carlyle puts the Kulemin line out, the checking line.  I love Kulemin, but he's not a natural C, so don't be surprised when you don't get offensive pressure there Randy.

He does this a lot.  Slave to the matchups.

Really hurts the team's flow, too.

That's it. Go sit in the corner. You're on timeout.

Any time now please.

I think this game is putting us all to sleep. 9 pages on the thread with 2 periods almost played. Zzzzzzzz

 

[Sanecow]

Not even getting any quality chances.

 

[drummond]

carolina and detroit winning, everything goes as planned but Leafs

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Is that one ref mic'ed or is the arena just that quiet?

 

[bustaheims]

This period has been like late 90s trap bring.

 

[Sanecow]

"Ranger intentionally wide" is almost a cliche.

Boring game, apathetic crowd.

Welcome to Tortorella hockey.

How in the hell do the refs just allow Burrows to hold Kessel down for that long as the play is going? He better be getting the extra 2.

edit: Looks like it was pretty even actually.

actually he did pass to Gardiner off the boards

And 2 points down the drain unless they wake the hell up.

Looked to me like he pulled on Kessel's hair which is just not cool.

McLaren could go after Burrows and I wouldn't mind.
