Lightning @ Leafs - Feb. 29th, 7:30pm - TSN4, Fan 590

This game has a large number of "ov"s in it.

One of the reasons for the nice back and forth pace.

 

[cujo4ever]

Kapanen has impressed me with his skill with the puck. I wasn't expecting to notice him this much.

 

[ZBBM]

Kapenen looking good.

Super confident coming back from the WJHC. Looks stronger than his size suggests.

Best of the newbs so far.  He looks like a bull on the puck.  His dad played above his weight too, now that I think of it.

Soshnikov looks like a keeper too.

 

[cujo4ever]

Not a great goal for Sparks to give up there.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Not really the 5-some that you want out against the Johnson line.

 

[ZBBM]

As Ferraro just remarked, that's 6 that have gotten behind Sparks tonight.

 

[herman]

Kapanen, Soshnikov, Hyman, Leipsic: they're small, but they play like heat seeking wrecking balls.

Now we might get to see the Ny-Kap PP line!

 

[herman]

Nylander winning some good draws today. Very clean.

 

[Bill_Berg]

As Ferraro just remarked, that's 6 that have gotten behind Sparks tonight.

You can't expect him to stop the ones that are going wide too. Although the one did go five hole before hitting the post.

 

[McGarnagle]

Not a bad effort. Seeing a fairly small, fast team is good, but also highlights what JVR brings (or currently isn't).

 

[ZBBM]

Steven, Steven, Steven ....... all this can be yours, my friend.

 

[McGarnagle]

Wow, button is really shiny.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Put the kids together in the third and play them half the period.

Part 1 complete.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Great pass by Boyes there. It's really too bad he never received consistent minutes.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Lots of nice movement on the PP there from Boyes, Kadri, Holland, and Rielly.

 

[herman]

Holland really needs a skilled linemate. He works well with Kadri.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Kapanen-Nylander-Marner is going to be an insane line next season.

 

[Kin]

I can already tell the next few games are going to be roughly a million times more fun to watch than they were over the last few weeks.
