Capitals @ Leafs - Nov. 23rd, 7:00pm - CBC, SN 590

Yikes. Grabbo's still a warrior.

 

[L K]

Eeesh, Grabovski took a skate to the face there.  And pathetic from the crowd booing.

 

[ZBBM]

Thankfully it looks like it missed Grabbo's eye.

 

[bustaheims]

Caps had most of the shots that period, but I feel like the Leafs had more of the better ES scoring chances.

 

[Zee]

Hope Grabovski is OK that looked pretty bad.

Yeah, boo the guy who took a skate to the face after saying he loves the Toronto fans, loved playing for Toronto and called Toronto his hometown as recently as yesterday.

They had 7 shots on the powerplay, so that skews things a little. At even-strength it was 10-7 Caps.

Eeesh, Grabovski took a skate to the face there.  And pathetic from the crowd booing.

That looked so dangerous. And yeah, to boo him is such a low thing to do. Sports seem to bring out the worst in some people.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Kessel didn't even play 5:00 that period.

 

[Arn]

Brilliant. The Washington announcers were going on about how "Lupul went after Grabovski" with a "high hook near the face" and there was no call.

Then they show the replay where he gets caught by the skate while lying virtually face down on the ice and all that is brushed under the carpet never to be mentioned again

Yeah, boo the guy who took a skate to the face after saying he loves the Toronto fans, loved playing for Toronto and called Toronto his hometown as recently as yesterday.

Yeah, why would anyone boo an injured player?  Did they think he was faking it to stop the rush?

I think they were booing the whistle because the play was going into the Caps zone, but still.

It is the city that elected Rob Ford.

Kessel didn't even play 5:00 that period.

With all that line matching, how is he supposed to find time to play his best players? I mean, come on, Potvin.

But the refs let the play go ... didn't they?  Or am I ausgespielt?

Crowd didn't have the benefit of the replay and were booing before you could see his was bleeding. Probably thought he dove to stop the play.

Fans not too thrilled with Grabovski's dying swan routine, then bouncing up at whistle.

Ah.  Of course.

Just watched it again, you're right. The Leafs got a scoring opportunity off the rush and the whistle was blown only when the Caps got possession.

He didn't even back away from that, everyone knows he took a skate to the face and then he writes:

@dshoalts

Seems there's another group of fans far more sympathetic to Mr. Grabovski.

Really? People are sympathetic to the guy who took a skate to the face?
