The "Mr. T" Man of the Match Thread, 2013?14 edition

Game #11: TOR v CBJ: Blue Jackets 5-2.  MotM: Kessel 3/2.  HM: McClement 1/2.  Others: Bernier 1/0, Bolland 1/0, Clarkson 0/1.
Game #12: PIT v TOR:

 
v Penguins

MoM - Bolland. SH & EN goal, won what felt like every faceoff v Crosby. Was pretty much everywhere all night.

HM - Reimer for keeping it alive in 2nd period. Clarkson for adding some spark and Phaneuf for neutralising Crosby.

A lot of Leafs stepped up at different points of the game. Bolland was big in the first to get the Leafs on board, and he was also solid defensively throughout the game. Reimer didn't have to do too much in the 3rd but he was the only reason the Leafs got out of the 2nd period still tied at 1-1. Kessel stepped up offensively in the 3rd period to get the go-ahead and insurance goals. Any one of those guys would be solid MOTM picks, but I'll give it to Phaneuf for playing a mistake free 25+ minutes and shutting down the best player in the world all night long. So...

MOTM Phaneuf
HM Reimer

edit: Forgot to add, Phaneuf also got involved in the boxscore too. That first Bolland goal doesn't happen without his terrific pass.
 
Tough one:

MOM: Reimer
HM: Bolland - big on the draws, played tough against Crosby, 2 goals
Phaneuf deserves a lot of credit for his play against Crosby though too
 
I honestly never expected Bolland to be this good for the Leafs. He was unreal tonight.

MOTM: Bolland
HM: Phaneuf
 
MoM: Phaneuf - the last 5 games he is so composed, loving his play
HM: Bolland - what a acquisition, in my books he is the Leafs version of Mr. Everything

Kudos to: Clarkson (he is hitting anything that moves) and Reims (he is fighting the puck, rebounds, but is getting the wins)
 
MotM: Reimer with 37 saves
HM: Phaneuf with that beauty stretch pass assist and 25+ mins

Nods to: all kinds of guys, but especially Bolland and Clarkson
