Sharks @ Leafs - Dec. 3rd, 7:00pm - SN, TSN 1050

Poor Rielly. Stuck out on the ice with Orr, Smithson, McLaren and Fraser. The only guy out there for the Leafs with any skill or skating ability.

That's great

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Always suspected you two were the same person.

 

[Arn]

If it weren't for them, you couldn't fit Clarkson, Bozak, and Lupul's combined $14.7 million in salary.

That's just not true.

Indeed, compare our 4th line to the likes of, say, Boston.

 

[lamajama]

I like our chances.  5-3 Leafs.  8)

You also like the mind-altering substances too do ya?

but he must have felt safe and secure

Haha, that's a classic.

So true. Though I felt a little mean including Smithson, I actually think he has a skill he can contribute unlike any of the others.

Like I need another doppleganger.

 

[drummond]

Jeeez, do not show that man (Ferguson Jr.)

I like Smithson. He's a perfectly acceptable 4th line centre. He's good on the draw and is a reasonable penalty killer. He's just pretty much useless otherwise.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Cleanest hit you'll see. Way to stop the play McLaren. And a penalty? My god.

 

[bustaheims]

McLaren doing his job - being too aggressive and taking penalties.

 

[Beowulf]

Absolutely clean hit and McLaren "standing up for the team" by taking a penalty.

 

[Arn]

But why should he have to stand up for the team? Surely with all that muscle out there the Sharks are too afraid to throw any hits, even clean ones.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Useless.  Absolutely useless.

Any of the other guys (minus the top line) takes a penalty and they get scratched/benched.  Bet he doesn't miss a shift.

 

[drummond]

good kill

His line mates were out there right after his penalty ended. So, nope, no shifts missed. In fact, possibly shifts gained.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Joe Bowen amazed that fast, skilled team draws lots of penalties.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

good kill

It's something!

 

[13th fan]

McLaren eats paint chips

 

[bustaheims]

Joe Bowen amazed that fast, skilled team draws lots of penalties.

It's almost like teams that have the puck more get more power plays. No, way, it's exactly that.
