Penguins @ Leafs - Oct. 31th, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

Like he reacted as if that initial stop was super difficult and instead of knocking the puck away he just...did nothing.

That puck was begging to be pokechecked.

Man, if Bernier could only hold the Penguins to -1 goals the Leafs would really have something here.

I hate these Chevy commercials. Those kids are all able to play the game because they gave them each an iPad. Do those come with the car?

I know the Leafs were supposed to be bad but the lack of offense is painful.  How are the 1000 people in Anaheim watching the Ducks?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

So according to Healy the pp isn't good for Pittsburgh because... Kessel?

The Leafs powerplay really took off without him too.

But he's skating in one direction and turns, whether it's turning to stop or not he changes his position.  Clune still had time to stop I think, but I think it's wrong to also say he doesn't turn at all.  Sometimes I think that's a mitigating factor, I don't think it is this time.

If Scuderi doesn't "turn" where do you think Clune hits him? His numbers would still have been the principal point of contact, to borrow a term from the DOPS.

I agree that he is deserving of a penalty on the play and the turn doesn't change things, but if he doesnt change angles like that, Scuderi likely gos into the boards shoulder first instead of head first.

Man I watched the Leafs in the dreaded 80's and I don't think even they were this bad.

Yes because in the 80s everyone was scoring goals... So even if they lost they probably still scored 3-4 a game

These 3-1 losses are boring.

I think somebody is forgetting Allan Bester and Peter Ing.

Well, also because there wasn't really any Leafs team in the 80's without any good young players. They were talent shy comparatively but even the 84-85 team was at least young.

Oh no I'm not.....

 

[ZBBM]

Well, I guess it's worth watching to see a Crosby Sucks pack.

 

[Bullfrog]

Why did Bernier not react at all there?

"What, they want me to make saves on the powerplay too?!"

Like he reacted as if that initial stop was super difficult and instead of knocking the puck away he just...did nothing.

I thought the same thing. "Oh, just go ahead and score."

 

[ZBBM]

Bernier's playing like he's drugged.

 

[Damian]

Nice to see Bernier show up for this Halloween game dressed as a steaming turd

 

[Kin]

Bernier's playing like he's drugged.

Wouldn't you be?

 

[Damian]

Wouldn't you be?

Not if I was playing for  $5M+ long term deal I wouldnt.... this aint beer league... its the pros, play like it consistently, or at least make it look like it

 

[herman]

Pretty surprised Bernier was able to stop Malkin from going into the net.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I just don't get it. Somebody at Sportsnet has to know that the Skycam is terrible, right?
