Leafs @ Rangers - Oct. 12th, 7:00pm - CityTV, Fan 590

Nice powerplay set-up. Franson could have had a tea-party with all the time the Rangers gave him there.

PP specialist Franson strikes.

 

[Arn]

Well you can't complain about that, good passing and movement and nice shot.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Has the 1st line had a shift yet?  Missed the first minute or so but don't recall seeing them yet.

They had one shift that I saw before the PP.

It's sllly, I really think it being the first two games makes people treat it as a bigger deal than if they had 2 poor games in the middle of the season.  It's just such a common occurrence it's weird to 'punish' them.

But hey, a goal!

 

[bustaheims]

The Kadri line has been excellent so far. The only line on the team that seems to be consistent in creating offence.

Lupul's been great.

Any game that has ANY Dman scratched other than our captain, and arguably the worst player on Blue, is a really bad decision

If Phaneuf was arguably the Leafs' worst player, the Leafs would be Cup favourites.

Please show the ref cam of Glass delivering a flying elbow into Clarkson from behind.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Nice job 46/12.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Polak caught badly twice this period, second time the Leafs paid for it.

 

[bustaheims]

Nice job 46/12.

Polak's doing a good job of justifying the questions many of us had about the trade.

 

[Sudafederov]

Guys, what did Hitchcock tell you about opening the Polak door?

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

In fairness to Polak he's not been the problem the first two games, but he was burned badly several times in that 1st period.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

So the goal was apparently off-side too?  I guess that's karma.

 

[bustaheims]

In fairness to Polak he's not been the problem the first two games, but he was burned badly several times in that 1st period.

He hasn't really looked like part of the solution, either, though. He may not have been the problem, but he is pretty emblematic of roots of the problem.

Maybe it's a Carlyle thing, play those not playing well more:

Roman Polak plays nearly eight minutes in the first to lead the Leafs.

 

[moon111]

Leafs playing tonight?  Guess I'll check the score later on. 

 

[Deebo]

That Franson hit along the boards

 

[bustaheims]

Fatty McFatFat with a goal.
