Rangers @ Leafs - Feb. 10th, 7:30pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

I mean, I'm all tank-tank and everything, but that?  FFS.

When you play poorly as a team, bad things happen.

So true.  And by the same token, when you play richly as a team, good things happen.

 

[TML fan]

I was paying attention when he flubbed that odd man rush. I've seen enough. But keep defending a guy with 3 points in 50 games.

If you really expect significant offensive contributions from a 8-10 minute 4th liner, then you're never going to be satisfied. 3 points in the 31 games is really about what should be expected.

100% of nothing...

If you were really all tank-tank then that goal would be your screen saver.

That SHG began with Kessel losing a puck battle to Kreider. I guess one shouldn't expect Kessel to win that battle, but where was the help?

No can do, I already have that shot of Bewildered Clarkson in front of the goal from earlier in the season.

 

[Redleaf]

Anyone who still thinks tanking and getting the chance to draft within the top five spots isn't the way to go, need only look at a player like Morgan Rielly. 

The talent level in those top 5 spots is usually outstanding, and if all the reports about this years draft being very deep are true, then all five of those top picks could be ...off the charts.

 

[brothert]

whoa.. just got in and checked the box score. 30+ shots over 2 periods. i thought the msg guys were artificially inflating the shots but the it shows us as the home team. top line is a minus 3. yeuuuch! im not turning the tv on

 

[ZBBM]

"Here, Stephane, have some cream puffs."

 

[ZBBM]

Punxsutawney Phil?  Ouch.

 

[Chris]

Wow, intermission analysis of the top line. That third (I think) Ranger goal where, in sequence, Bozak then Kessel then JVR basically just waved at the puck carrier as he went by. That's embarrassing.

Where does that leave the Ekman-Larsson/Bernier Hail Mary goal?

 

[bustaheims]

Anyone still wanna try to tell us that Rielly only has a soft wrist shot?

 

[ZBBM]

You'd like to have Morgan Rielly, wouldn't you Alain?  Ya can't have him.

 

[lamajama]

Crap. Does Morgan want to continue to play with these guys??

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Anyone still wanna try to tell us that Rielly only has a soft wrist shot?

I think that was thankfully only one person.

Was it? Either way, whoever believes that is hopelessly wrong.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Guess I missed yet another Reilly goal.

I recall some people devoted half a game day thread to bashing his shot.

His goals tonight look similar to his junior highlights.

 

[L K]

January - 16 goals in 13 games
February - 12 goals in 4 games

It's almost like it wasn't sustainable to have a 2% shooting percentage.
