Leafs @ Penguins - Nov. 26th, 7:30pm - SN, Fan 590

I'm confused.  We were told the entire 1st period that these Pens were invincible.  It now appears that they are susceptible to being vinced.

The Leafs are one of, if not the best 2nd period teams in the league this season. The vincing may only be temporary.

 

[2badknees]

Twas an entertaining period. Is it just me, or is the 3rd line the only one that shows up every game?

You offer Winnik and Santorelli 2 per for 2 extensions, do they sign?

Then let us call it a night now, and both teams can enter the stands and hand out turkey drumsticks as a holiday gesture of comity.

we need to get a point out of this game.  too many of our losses are in regulation

Winnik probably does it for 2.5. Santorelli, no way IMO.

 

[ZBBM]

This is totally irrelevant, but if you get a moment, check out this story:

Very cool, unless you are a goat.  The pic of Ustin is awesome.  THAT is power.

Why not he has been a pleasant surprise

8 straight losses, does Dineen lose his job soon?

With the cap not going up, I think both would sign a 2 for 2. Neither are going to play much above 3rd line ES, and most teams are pretty top heavy.

Because he has a (outside) shot at 50 pts. There's no way he's signing for 2M.

That is what I posted in the Armchair GM thread.  I like Santorelli more than Mason because although Mason had speed and decent play making ablilities, he would avoid getting hit to the point of losing the puck.  Santorelli can skate and also has decent hockey play making ablilities but doesn't shy away from the physical play.  I like him more than MacArthur, who wouldn't shy away from the physical hockey and would score some timely goals but didn't have the top end gear like Santorelli, Mason and Kessel.  Mason and MacArthur signed deals for $3.1 and  $4.65 MIL this summer respectively.

 

[Deebo]

Just call neither, that's stupid.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

What the heck was that call for?

 

[ZBBM]

That's a BS call to give a team a very dangerous 4/3.

 

[2badknees]

That was an extremely weak call.

 

[Kessel Run]

Brutal call.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

I blame Kessel on that play. Not sure what he was doing on that play. Turned it over and then Malkin drew the penalty.

 

[Deebo]

And then a call on Rielly for nothing.

The pens are obviously going to score here.

 

[freer]

Nice home town call on Rielly... BS
