Stars @ Leafs - Dec. 5th, 7:00pm - LeafsTV, SN 590

What a team.  Can't win a puck battle to save its life.  Pathetic.

Work harder?

 

[Stronger Than All]

Clarkson with the lethal shot.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

I'd be very surprised if he's an everyday NHL defenceman next season. Unless of course the Leafs re-sign him, which could definitely happen.

If Carlyle's still the coach going into free agency, definitely a possibility. If Carlyle gets fired before the season ends, Fraser will no longer be an NHL defenceman this season.

A dented skulled lame 7 dman is a better option than Liles, bizarre.

At this point, if we're filling Fraser's spot, I'd want McWilliam up in his place. Liles is redundant still IMO.

 

[gunnar36]

Wow, that Nichushkin reminds me of a young Jagr!

 

[Tigger]

39 shots... only a few more than Joe had?

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Awesome! Our best PK guy takes a penalty.

 

[ZBBM]

While we're shipping people out, let's get rid of this whole tube crew.

Liles is a calm, veteran presence that skates well, moves the puck well and reads the play well. I like MacWilliam's potential to be a quality NHL defenceman in the future, but, the last thing the Leafs need is another inexperienced player back there - especially if that player is going to spend a good chunk of time in the press box.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

On a side note I think Bowen might have a drinking problem.

 

[gunnar36]

The game will soon be tied...

 

[bustaheims]

There it is.

 

[bustaheims]

If there's one thing the Leafs excel at this season, it's allowing 40+ shots.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I'm not even disappointed anymore.

 

[ZBBM]

McClement you goat.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes...

 

[bustaheims]

I'm not even disappointed anymore.

I want to be surprised. I really do.

 

[Bullfrog]

Just tuning in.

That was not a nice welcome.  :-\

 

[CarltonTheBear]

So McClement's benched for the rest of the game, right?

It's a good point, but Liles has zero physicality. I suppose it's not worth the chance, but the whole time he'd be playing, we'd be screaming for a stay-at-home rough and tumble type.
