R1G1: Leafs @ Bruins - May 1st, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

Hes Kostka'ed us the game!

I meant to comment on this right away, but this is the first thing that's made me smile since Phaneuf knocked down Lucic early in the first.

That JVR post is still haunting me.

Healy just made a lot of sense with what he said right there. Surprise???

He did indeed.

... except it's BOS doing the hitting.

You know that practice in the Mighty Ducks where they have to pass eggs on the ice.  It might be worthwhile if the Leafs did that before the next game.  How are they this bad at passing the puck?

Also, change the lines, they aren't working.

Let's goon it up boys...

On the 2nd PP, Phaneuf put a shot of the post early. If that one goes in . . .

How is every single hit on Grabovski a monster hit on the guy?  That was a clean one but he has been destroyed at least 3 times tonight.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Good on Orr for stepping in there.

Yeah, I said it.

 

[Rebel_1812]

Fraser & Kostka have played 14:00+ each.  Only Phaneuf (15:38) has played more.

That's probably a by-product of them being unable to leave their end and get a change.

In theory, a puck moving dman is what you want to quickly move the puck up the ice against a hard forechecking team.  However, this strategy isn't working so best to try a different method.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

If we can't beat them then... Beat them!

 

[Rebel_1812]

That is why you need an Orr in the lineup.  Period.

Because, everyone knows hitting Grabovski is not a penalty. It's uncanny how hard he gets hit, how often it happens, how frequently they're questionable hits and haw it's almost never a penalty.

Because he takes a 2 minute roughing penalty after the big hits already happen?

To push somebody AFTER he throws an illegal hit? And not the first illegal hit of the game? On the same player.

You. I like you.

Ference better be getting a good suspension.  He's a repeat offender too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fu_vcIzT-8

 

[Courtnall]

Show some F'n heart out there boys. Beat on the score board and physically.

He took a penalty in a game thats basically over, after a cheap shot.

You don't win hockey games in the playoffs by having guys like Orr and Mclaren hit with no ice time.  You win by having the rest of your guys bang. That is what separates the Bruins and Leafs.  We are outclassed guys .

So he's a good player to have on a losing team.
