You are correct, him and Salming.

Baby Blue

Well they f**ked up another one ! Thanks to the defense giving up odd man rushes. They were playing half decent for first 1/2 of game tied 1-1
Defense taking low percentage chances - and of course like usual that doesn't work in playoffs ! When they were down 2 games to none .. they all come out hitting and intimidated them - and they won the game. NOT enough hits tonight - and it shows on the scoreboard.
Big game tonight and they come out playing like boneheads ! I don't get it.

Now their backs against the wall big time ( down 3 games to 1 ) .. well we'll have to see on Sat night what they bring to the table.
Otherwise a good season down the pipe in 1 round of playoffs

Yup. Still have NO defense, Gardener needs go back to the Garden the guys useless just shoots the puck blindly case somebody's going to hit him, zaitsev causes another goal again, 2 games he's caused 3 goals

Slacks

We need Brian Glennie, Ian Turnbull, Borje Salming and lets not forget about our all time favourite Jim McKenny.

For sure Defense is Suspect ... way too many blind passes etc.

Oh Well !!!

Salming was a player, hard hitting, not close to Hammerstrom who would not hit a fly

Baby Blue

Now that was a way better game ! They were doing all the things it takes to win.
I must say that the refs were doing their best to f**k a great game up with a lot of b.s. penalty calls.
It took Anderson to stand on his head to get this hard fought win.
One shift at a time, 1 period at a time, 1 game at a time

GO LEAFS GO

LEAFS WIN, 2 to go.

Great game last night boys, this is the way they need to play to advance. They surely missed Kadri for his bench time, not saying he made the difference, but sure helped out, it s a team game and his presence was felt. He played disciplined and even drew a cpl penalties and no retaliation, that was key. I still believe Mathews is injured somehow, he is not playing up to his potential. He is being cautious i would say.
They won t win playing this game against Tampa i m sure, but time will tell.
Babbsy said in an interview, this is all gravy when they made the playoffs.
Give these boys a cpl years and we will see.
Thing is, other teams are improving also.

VETFEVER

Oh so close...

Baby Blue

Holy f**k , they played good for 2 periods.
Lots of giveaways. Can't clear the zone. NOT enough F**king shots on net. Leading 4-3 going into the last period and come out flat !! WTF ??
It took 8 mins in the 3rd period to register a f**king shot on net.
Defensemen were F**king terrible !!
Jake G. is so F**king lost in his own end and still gets ice .. WTF ??
He was a -5 what a jerk **f !!
WOW

Paul. can you esplain what you really mean, without being so candid ?

Why didn't Babcock bench Gardiner and the steady guy Hainsey was just as bad. Next years team will be different as they have at least 4 free agents.

Gardiner =

Next Year. Is that some type of Anthem for the Leafs?

It sure is but at least they now have something to work with.
