Leafs @ Stars - Jan. 25th, 8:30pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

[Al14]

Kadri scores again?  Leafs 3 - Stars 0.

It's that type of game for the guys in green!

Go Leafs Go!

The beauty of scoring with PP1 is that Matthews starts the next shift, not garbage.

I thought for sure Polak put that into his net.

I still don't understand how they give out assists on those own goals.

Other players are basically part of the playing surface, right? I.e. they?re not trying to put it into that net, much like the ref or the glass or the boards aren?t trying to score.

Kadri gives it to literally the worst option in Polak in the offensive zone and immediately its a two on one against.

It?s so absurd it?s almost funny at this point, if it wasn?t 3-0 it?d be maddening.

Hockey-gods: not today. Maybe against the lowly Rangers next week.

I don't know. Personally think the goal scorer should be the only 1 getting a point.

Maybe... but then is that how you?d call a point shot that is going for the net but clips a defenseman?s stick or skate before going in?

The effort to get the puck to the shooter was still made by those players.

Hey, I've got an idea!  The scorer gets 3 points, the primary A 2, the cheap 2nd 1, the other two skaters 0.5, and the goalie gets a certificate for a cheeseburger.

This team is much better without Martin in the lineup.  Speed and potential is the obvious choice.  These lineup changes have been needed.  Glad Babcock finally gave in.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Kapanen killing penalties.

*swoons*

This is a gem. If there was a player on the Leafs to deserve a weirdo goal like that, it?s Naz.

 

[herman]

Yo Kapanen just went for an armadillo block.

Yo Kapanen just went for an armadillo block.

I declare here in public, I am in love with him.  He's a wild nordic beastamaki.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Radulov's a freak when he's on his game.

 

[herman]

What a play by Radulov.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Please don?t turtle.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Man the ref was behind the net when he blew that dead. Bishop never even kind of had it. No way the ref could make that call.
