Clarkson was offside by like 4 feet there.

Uh, nice hit, but Panik was nowhere near the puck??

 

[TheMightyOdin]

That bad eh? Lol.

Shot attempts are 17-6. The Jets are all over the Leafs D.

Glad I'm not missing anything.  I would be home for the third period. 

Watched last nights game on leafs tv late with game in an hour. A little less painful that way.

Reminds me of the 80's, when the most frequent line by the commentators about the Leafs was "cleared but not out"

 

[L K]

Ummm, that's interference on Panik.
The Clarkson hit was good.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I really am amazed that there aren't more skate-related injuries in the NHL.

 

[L K]

Hey Cherry, Giroux didn't get cut on the achilles tendon.  That sock wouldn't have prevented the injury.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

I thought after watching what happened to Salming that players would start wearing more face protection.

 

[freer]

Those socks come half way up your calf.

It really makes it hard to believe that the Players Association is overly concerned about player safety.I mean the mandating of a neckguard and the kevlar socks etc makes it a no brainer, doesnt it?

He also was wearing kevlar-socks apparently that helped limit the damage.

 

[freer]

Man, I love Byfuglien. What a player.

The hit on Panik was inference the puck was long gone.. IMO

I think it should be player's choice on the kevlar socks (I hated them when I tried them) - and there's nothing life threatening there - but the neck guard should be mandatory imo.

Jets had the puck for almost half the period.

How the French Connection UK does Carlyle still have a job? Its beyond ridiculous now.

To be clear.  I wear those socks myself.  They aren't that expensive.  The issue is that they will do a good job of preventing a clear severing but they don't prevent lacerations from happening.  That's what Giroux has.

My team wears them. You are correct, it wont prevent them, but it will prevent serious injuries.

Is it the shoes!

SANTO

Classic Leafs.

 

[L K]

The Leafs have come out much better in the 2nd period.

1-0

 

[TML fan]

Great. All scoring a goal does is piss the other team off.
