Leafs @ Penguins - Nov. 27th, 7:30pm - TSN, SN 590

[sneakyray]

franson and fraser make me nervous as a pairing

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Just get a shot, any shot.

 

[Arn]

Shot differential now at 20, woohoo!

 

[TML fan]

I'll be astonished if they can hang on for the point. They didn't learn a thing from game 7.

 

[ZBBM]

Bernier hasn't been great but since the 5th goal he's made a few huge saves.

Very true. 

15-0 SOG in the 3rd.  Unpardonable.

 

[bustaheims]

Shot differential now at 20, woohoo!

If it ends that way, it'll be the 6th time already this season that the Leafs have been outshot by 20 or more. That's just absurd.

 

[mc]

so no shots yet for the Leafs in the 3rd.

I don't see how it's not a fault of the systems they're trying to get them to play.  No team should get killed like this so often.

 

[mc]

wtf is going on

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Leafs can't get the puck out of their zone while their best getting-the-puck-out-of-the-zone defenceman is sitting and watching from the pressbox.

 

[mr grieves]

so no shots yet for the Leafs in the 3rd.

Let's not blame the coach though. Pittsburgh, you know. They're good. What can you do?

 

[Arn]

We're gonna score on our only shot of the 3rd period and/or OT.

It's all part of the masterplan

 

[TML fan]

1 forechecker. 4 guys at the Leafs blue line. Puck is in the Penguins zone. Wow.

There shouldn't even be a question as to why they get outplayed. The evidence is there. Carlyle has to go.

I'm with you. It's just too absurdly lopsided to be a personnel issue. It's the same issue with every line. That clearly points to it almost certainly being a system thing. It's not like they're being outshot for 3 or 4 a night. That would be acceptable. They're been dominated for long stretches. Whatever they're trying to do on the defensive side of the puck, it's not working and it needs to change.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Play Holland, I'm sick of watching McClement-Smithson.

Maybe the master plan is to get a lottery pick? At this rate, it's not so far fetched.

I'm not watching the game but I just saw the box score, no shots all period? For real? Or did the shot keeper fall asleep?

All too real.

There was one by Smithson that was really, really weak that didn't get counted. But that's it.

 

[Joe S.]

That's just f'd up.
