Kraken @ Leafs - Oct. 18th, 7:00pm - SN

[Chris]

Carlo and McCabe (?) both watching and doing nothing until Stolarz went after him. Same old.

I'm ready to not have Rielly on the PP. His shot just isn't a threat on the PP and he has bad timing for when to throw the puck at the net for deflections.

Agreed entirely. What is the downside in using
OEL on the power play? He has a shot. He makes quick decisions with the puck. And he doesn’t telegraph every pass. And the opposing players don’t over commit with Morgan because he hasn’t been a threat with a point shot from the blue line for years.

Massive Carlo stands and does nothing until Stoli shows him WTF to do. Yeah Leafs
are sure bigger but still wimps

 

[Chris]

this pp is laughably bad

I don't see much of a downside right now. Rielly can carry the puck into the zone but they can use that on the 2nd PP. Nylander Matthews & Knies should be able to help with that.

What the hell Joshua.

 

[ZBBM]

Almost, good try. On to OT.

 

[ZBBM]

Ooof Willy got beat there.

Ooof Willy got beat there.

At least that kind of looked like dead legs rather than outright lazy Nylander

Agree.

Stolarz didn't agree. Stolarz was pretty harsh on Nylander getting beat in OT.

 

[Chris]

Stolarz seems to have more fire in him than the rest of the team combined. Maybe because he's only been here a short while and it hasn't been drained out of him yet.

It's becoming more difficult for me to care about this group as time goes on. They don't fight for each other, show little to no emotion...and don't win anything of note. Meh.

Time On Ice Report Home Team

He had 3 x 6+ min periods.
He started OT with a 30 second shift
He then got 2 mins rest (equivalent to 3 other lines getting 40 second shifts - so not a rest that was too short)
On his second/last shift, he was winded when the game ended 29 seconds into his 2nd shift.
It is not the first OT game lost when Nylander ran out of gas. Maybe that is what bugged Stolarz
Maybe he isn't very fit.
