Penguins @ Leafs - Feb. 2nd, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

Kapanen passes up a breakaway to pass it into the corner.

Lol nylander.  Swing a miss.  That all star break came at a bad time for him. 

 

[herman]

Muzzin with the mush out.

I noticed this too. I thought it was a push boost, but it turns out to be a love tap.

Marner has good legs tonight.

Gardiner erased Bjugstad beautifully. Immediately turned it into an attack.

 

[herman]

Looks like Kadri is okay after that ugly fall into the boards on his previous shift.

 

[lc9]

Does Trevor Moore not play because of contract reasons? 

Connor brown to the box.  He has been disappointing this season. 

 

[herman]

Lindholm is equally effective with and without the stick. That?s kind of sad.

Forever quiet on his turnovers.

Nicely stated.

 

[herman]

Sparks looking good so far. Nicely done by Hainsey to clear off the shot and taking away the backdoor option.

 

[lc9]

That?s about right.  Leafs special teams really struggling right now. 

 

[herman]

Ah, Crosby bomb.

I was about to compliment Sparks and then the goal, didn't see it Skyping with my son overseas. If Crosby scores it usually a good one.

 

[Bender]

Muzzin screened the shot a bit. I think Sparks could've stopped that if he had a good look at it. Fairly slow pass.

How many times have the Leafs given up the first goal this year? It's really bad.

 

[ZBBM]

Ah, Crosby bomb.

Muzzin didn't help Sparks there unfortunately.

 

[lc9]

Leafs a step behind. 

Gotta pick it up.

Their record is flattering.  Luckily, that is the case though.  Any of these games can turn it around. They just have to do it.  They play with such little energy, hard to win that way.  Muzzin might help.  His hit was nice earlier. 

 

[herman]

Getting stripped at the blueline by Zaitsev is kind of shameful, no?
