Leafs @ Flames - Nov. 28th, 9:00pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

[ZBBM]

Oh look, the Leafs are dominating the entire game and have taken more penalties than they have drawn again.  This crap needs to end.

When was the last game they had more PPs than the opponent?  It doesn't seem like it happens very often.

In November?  3-8-2.  3 Games they had more PPs (all by 1 PP opportunity), 8 games where they had more PK opportunities.  2 games they tied.  This would be their 9th game in 14 taking more penalties than they draw.

It just seems odd to me because the team is so passive as a physical team and even with their questionable defensive play they really aren't a team that relies on a lot of constant hooking/holding.

Yeah.  Well, I guess the flip side is that they aren't drawing a lot of penalties, which since they aren't a cycle team is maybe not too surprising.

 

[ZBBM]

Sweet.  We've gotten the luck tonight.

 

[herman]

Oh my beautiful skills.

This is a post-PK mega shift. Normally it?s Kadri-Matthews-Nylander. Marleau was there for Matthews. Nylander with the nice accidental assist and Kadri with the nicer finish.

 

[ZBBM]

Blech.  This isn't over yet.

 

[herman]

Stone shows Polak what a real goal looks like.

You know a player that Hyman could end up being like?  Jere Lehtinen.  I'm pretty sure he used to ride shotgun on Modano's wing back in the day.

 

[ZBBM]

Leafs have played a good road game so far.  Now they need to lock it up.

That is an ... interesting image.

Whoops. I should really fix that.

Polak after a tough shift with lots of time to make a play...Fire the puck down the ice

My recollection is that Lehtinen had way more offense. A smooth skating sniper. Conscientious defensively like Hyman, sure, but much more well rounded.

 

[herman]

That?s a good hard working finish.

Why is the Toronto booth/NHL challenging goals?

 

[louisstamos]

Great game - one of the most complete performances so far this season.

 

[ZBBM]

Well, that was about a perfect road game.  Well done Leafs.

Why is the Toronto booth/NHL challenging goals?

Are there auto reviews in the last minute or something?

From 2015/16 rule changes:
League Initiated Review
1. In the final minute of play in the 3rd Period and at any point in Overtime (Regular Season and Playoffs), Hockey Operations will initiate the review of any scenario that would otherwise be subject to a Coach's Challenge.

Great road win! On to Edmonton

 

[ZBBM]

I want them to sweep this western swing.

Even if that means defeating Nik's beloved Oilers.
