Leafs @ Avalanche - Jan. 21st, 9:00pm - SN, TSN 1050

JVR on pace for 33 goals.

This team makes me feel like I don't understand the first thing about how hockey works.

It's actually been pretty much the same forever ... the team with the better goalie usually wins. Outside of that, good special teams is probably the next most important factor.

if they want to boost scoring they should implement a system where if you take a penalty with less than 2 minutes left in a period you can play the whole 2 minutes before the end of the period and subtract the extra time from the next period.  If you score the period is over (like sudden death) and the same happens with the extra time played.

That's a pretty good idea.  Why subtract time from the next period, though?  Also, I presume a shortie also ends the period?

the time would be subtracted because its still a 60 minute game...and no a short-handed goal would not end the period because it doesn't end the PP.

edit...no idea what to do at the end of a game though.

Adios Varlamov.

 

[bustaheims]

Been a while since the Leafs have chased a goalie.

We rule man

 

[L K]

Gardiner is heating up.

 

[bill0199]

Come in Jiggy.  Play like you did for us.

 

[Arn]

I hope this is Leafs era Giguere and not Anaheim era

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Bodie can't possibly be sent back down again, right?

You say that like you don't already know the answer.

My God, JVR and Kessel are out of this world at the moment.

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man!

 

[Stickytape]

Is this real life?

EDIT:  Also, I love Kessel's class after a goal.

 

[bustaheims]

Well, the Leafs appear to have woken up a little tonight. Didn't expect this throughout most of the 1st - or for the first couple shifts of the 2nd, either.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

14 points in 7 games puts Kessel back at the PPG mark. Is that elite?
