Leafs @ Coyotes - Thursday November 21, 2019 - 21:00 EST - Sportsnet Ontario

They got some pep at least.

 

[lc9]

Pretty sluggish game overall.  Not a lot of space through the neutral zone.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Big save by Freddie.

 

[AvroArrow]

Big save by Freddie.

Wowza!

 

[lc9]

Gotta get the puck on net. 

 

[lc9]

Big save by Freddie.

That was a big one.

 

[lc9]

Hyman, put it on net.  Forwards bring to selective.  Just fire.  The hockey gods owe us a bit.

 

[Bullfrog]

I don't know why people keep suggesting Matthews for the PK. I just can't see it. Tavares? Absolutely he should be there.

 

[Bullfrog]

I suspect this Hyman move is more temporary to get Soup into the top-6. Not sure how that sticks when Marner gets back. But yeah it'll be interesting to see if Hyman plays any differently.

Oh for sure, when Marner returns I fully expect Hyman to return to the left side and Soup to return to the 3rd line.

Unless Mikheyev and JT go on a tear scoring like crazy. Then Hyman or even Marner may go to the 3rd. What a nice problem that would be to have. Anyway, lets see what happens with Mikheyev first.

I'd actually move Mikheyev up to with Matthews and Nylander. Johnsson-Kerfoot-Kapanen could be a very good third line.

 

[Guilt Trip]

The movement on that last shift was incredible. Barrie with a goal!

 

[L K]

Keefe fixes Barrie

 

[Bullfrog]

B-B-B-Barrie!

 

[ZBBM]

Hey.  HEY

 

[lc9]

Barrie!!  Finally score first and end coyotes shutout streak.

I'd like to see that too.

 

[Strangelove]

Right on cue.

Gonna keep saying it. Barrie will be a new player from here on out.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Keefe fixes Barrie

I don't remember Barrie going to the net like that this year. Him and Spezza are probably the happiest guys on the ream.

 

[lamajama]

The only thing I know for sure is that Phil will score

 

[lc9]

Small adjustments throughout, dzone coverage looked great.  Those boys were moving everywhere.

 

[Chris]

A lead! Hooray! And hooray for Barrie.

OK period overall, several defensive breakdowns that could easily have been in the net but overall I like what I'm seeing.
