Unreal

Burns my chaps to watch how Dallas defends on the PK compared to us.  They run a loose box, ie the player or even players, who are closest to the puck holder attack and fall back if they don't recover the puck. We run such a tight box. No one moves. No one attacks unless its absolutely obvious, because of a blunder etc.. Otherwise we let Vegas pass it around to their hearts content, until they could set up the best shot possible. Then we first hope the goalie can stop it, or its blocked. Then hope like hell we recover the puck first, which we have a disadvantage at because they are the team that is moving and in the flow and we are starting from a stand still. So they continue to recover and take their time setting up again.  Its a very conservative strategy from decades ago and it doesn't work in today's faster game.

Does anyone really care about the playoffs now?  Honestly everyone I have talked too in Toronto, all stopped watching hockey once van was eliminated

Shots 21-6 Vegas in mid 2nd.

 

At least it wasn't just nux that get badly outshot.

Must be in their contracts that they have to pump the Leafs tires when they’re on Sportsnet.

They probably saw that list that had us ranked number 1 and couldn’t handle it.

 

I don’t see how they think a team that has limited cap space, a goalie they’re looking to trade, and only one good defenseman is close to winning the cup. Especially when they can’t even get past the Blue Jackets, let alone Boston:

Toronto has to make it out of the first round before getting anywhere near the top of the list.

Let them perpetuate the fantasy that the management is doing a good job.  I see them stuck in that mode of decent but not quite good enough for another decade.

Ok. I don’t like Perry, at all, but on what planet is he to blame here?

 

[Twilight Sparkle]

YEEEAAAAAA BENN

[Twilight Sparkle]

yea, **** you McNads

[DeNiro]

Wonder if Stars media planted that Lehner contract rumour to throw him off his game.

Doesn’t seem to be in the same form.

I think he is a good goalie, but both Marky and Demko are better.  If nux were able to generate more chances, they wouldn't have gave him 3 shutouts that series.

Seriously.. the only way they ever win the cup is if Boston is removed from the league.
