Wings @ Leafs - Dec. 21st, 7:00pm - CBC, SN 590

Gustavsson.  Wow, what a save.

 

[ZBBM]

Good for Dion, that's two great shots.  The Monster with 2 hellacious saves this period.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Holland's the best centre on the team right now.

I agree and you can tell he has more development to go. I'm kind of excited about having him on the team. It's turning into a very good trade so far.

A goalie who wasn't very good for the Leafs would do that when facing the Leafs.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

What a ridiculous save. Always an element of luck with those paddle saves, but still damn nice.

 

[L K]

Holland again having a strong game.  Both goals were due to his effort and he doesn't get rewarded with a point.  I wish there was a stat that kept track of the guy who causes a turnover/screens the goalie but doesn't actually get an assist on a goal.

Holland's the best centre on the team right now.

I keep rooting for Kadri because I think he has the ability to be a #1 down the road (one of those #1's who isn't truly elite but tolerable) but he just doesn't have it right now.  I really would consider putting Holland on the top line and trying Kadri with Lupul again.

 

[Arn]

Gustavsson, what a guy!

 

[ZBBM]

Suggest we cash this one in -- the refs are going to start evening it up.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Gustavsson way out of position and makes a crazy save.  Most Gustavsson-ian type of save.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I keep rooting for Kadri because I think he has the ability to be a #1 down the road (one of those #1's who isn't truly elite but tolerable) but he just doesn't have it right now.  I really would consider putting Holland on the top line and trying Kadri with Lupul again.

I've always thought Kadri's ceiling was a Riberio-type player. 60-ish point centre with potential for 70 once or twice. Ideally a 2nd-line guy but still capable of being on the top line.

Holland's ceiling isn't really a legit 1st line guy either, but as of right now he's the teams best option. I'd put him back with Kessel and JVR too, Kadri with Lupul and Raymond, and Bozak with Kulemin and I guess Clarkson when Bozak returns. Obviously we know that's not happening though.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

LUPES

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Lupes!!!!!

 

[drummond]

game tied

 

[ZBBM]

Joffrey Roof-ul!!!

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man..

 

[CarltonTheBear]

That's the Gustavsson we knew and loved.

 

[Derk]

Heh. Now CBC jumps back from 6:30 to 1:30 and I get to see the replay of Lupul tie the game. ;D

Stupid CBC.

 

[L K]

Credit to the Leafs.  They have played much better in the 2nd period.  The three PPs have helped, but they have played well in the offensive zone.  Too bad they couldn't start the game with this effort.

I'm hearing the goal horn from the ACC before I see the goals on TV.
