Islanders @ Leafs - Jan. 7th, 7:00pm - TSN, SN 590

[bustaheims]

Guys. We scored.

Yes. That did, in fact, happen.

 

[bustaheims]

Playing a team on the 2nd of back-to-backs after getting a "wake up call" beatdown.  Getting outscored 2-0 in the 3rd.  Getting outshot 4-3 with <5 minutes left. 

Something needs to happen.  Either give up on the year, blow up the team or fire the coach.  This is embarrassing.

Uh ... they're in a playoff spot.

Just barely, for now. They've also been playing poorly for more than 2 months now and are only holding that playoff spot because, for the first time since it was implemented, the Leafs are good in the shootout.

 

[azzurri63]

Hire Ron Wilson!

Someone start the thread.

Nothing would surprise me with this team.


Nothing supposed Memphis with us to

Carlyle during the timeout: "It's not my &#$%@#$ job to tell you what to #@%#@$@#$ do here."

Yea, and Carlyle won a Cup in Anaheim so he can't be fired either.

It was My Joffrey even. And I'm not woohooing??...

I really believe there are many who are thrilled with that goal. Some have been against Bernier taking Reimer's job from the start because, hey, Reimer's such an "aw shucks" nice guy, nevermind Reimer's role in last year's collapse and Bernier's superior technical abilities (Bad timing for that one aside...).

Bernier goes on a stretch of three or four great games, and all you hear is complaining that Reimer didn't get a fair shake.

At this point I hope they just give the job to Reimer now and trade Bernier so we can talk about something else.

Like how Carlyle is dumb, perhaps.

I have nothing against either of them, but Bernier has sucked tonight and should have been pulled after the second goal.  Simple as that.

Goalies don't get pulled after allowing 2 goals unless they're the first two shots of the game or something.

Well, unless you want to send a message that you're trying to win the game.

Got any examples of a goalie being pulled in the 2nd after letting in a goal in a 1-1 game?

Leafs need this to go to a shoot-out.

 

[Sanecow]

I got my toast stuck in the toaster.

 

[Bonsixx]

See? Bernier's on the bench!

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

See? Bernier's on the bench!

about ten minutes late??..

 

[bustaheims]

See? Bernier's on the bench!

about ten minutes a period and a half late??..

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

That was awesome. 

 

[Beowulf]

Seriously though they have control of the puck with the goalie pulled, just over a minute left and a blind backhand pass into the slot? Why?

They never regained possession in the offensive zone after that.

 

[Sanecow]

That was ... horrible.

Oh shut up.

 

[Andy007]

Wait, how do both McLaren and Orr play more minutes than Holland? Is McLement now the 2nd and 4th line centre?

Uh ... they just lost again to an inferior team coming off a B2B.  Carlyle sucks.

 

[Sanecow]

It's our f***ing bottle.
