GDT: 9/27/13 Toronto Maple Leafs @ Detroit Red Wings 7:30EST

[Johnny B Good]

He checked tucker from behind during a playoff series yeaaars ago

Ok, Tack så mycket, for explaining

 

[odin1981]

Daniel ''Stonehands" Cleary with a great finish on that scoring chance.

 

[gretskidoo]

That 2nd pp unit is horrendous

When you hear both Bertuzzi's and Samuelsson's name on a powerplay, you know it's bad.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

I don't expect much from Lashoff, but he needs to stop being fancy with his outlet passes.

Between Ouellet and Almquist, I have to think Lashoff is going to be out of a job soon. He's big, but he doesn't seem to play big.

Another interesting thing is that Quincey-Ouellet seems to work, which makes me think the whole "Quincey is terrible" meme that goes around here is not quite accurate.

the more he plays the more i am convinced, that in case of a D injury i'd rather have a griffin call-up than lashoff.

 

[Claypool]

Looks like the ref was talking to Alfredsson about his untucked jersey at the end of that period.

 

[joe89]

When he does play (hopefully less than 5 games this year). He just needs to, clear in front of the net, get the puck out of the zone and not turn it over. That's all I ask.

Yeah, agreed.

Quincey now wears a visor, he's been without one up until now... strange

Maybe Ouellet is just that good

 

[SimplySolace]

Joined the game late. How has the 2nd line been tonight?

 

[Dats13DET]

Alfredsson in the 1st period:

Gave the 2nd line chemistry.

Helped the PP look awesome.
___

I think he's going to have a good year.

 

[RayMoonDoh]

If i recall, he took a puck to the face last year.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Just watching them play, it looks like Quincey wants to be the puckmover. Ouellet lets him do that. I could see how playing with Smith would be a bit of an adjustment for him.

Quincey isn't bad. Most people take their anger out against him since he was traded for a 1st round pick. He's a solid 3rd pairing guy. Doesn't help that a lot of the time he's been playing with Smith.

Agreed. I think he's looked very good. Second line is looking much better.

Hope he can keep it up all year

but a solid 3rd pairing guy doesn't get a cap hit of 3.75. that's my problem with him. for 1.5 i'd take him.

 

[drw02]

Lashoff is downright terrible. Can't believe KH gave him a 3 year deal.

 

[Henkka]

Have to agree for this Alfie praise. What a speed and shifty guy he is. He's looks better than Selänne 2 years ago (at 41-year old).

 

[snizzbone*]

oh..why would Leafs fans care where he plays...

Replay shown after they show the goal.

 

[HIFE]

I'm not overly worried but our D are looking clumsy on a few. 2 split the D breakaways at least one on Kindl. Lashoff hesitates a lot like Smith, gets caught, and I could see him bringing down that pairing. Ericsson got owned and Kronwall got walked around. No big deal. They all (except Lashoff ) made some descent plays.

I agree the 2nd line looks at least halfway dangerous, they had a few nice shots lined up. My 1st view of the complete line and looks good.

 

[Vladdy84]

but a solid 3rd pairing guy doesn't get a cap hit of 3.75. that's my problem with him. for 1.5 i'd take him.

Well that's what the market dictates for a player with his abilities and experience. He's not asked to do all that he's capable of on this team. He could play the PP and be more offensive, but it's not needed.

UFA after this season and I don't see any team offering >$2M. Maybe he stays, maybe not. But won't be at current cap hit.

I want DeKeyser-Smith playing together. Quincey with Kindl.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Idk why the dmen are standing so far apart in the neutral zone and blur like. Way too much open space.

Don't be shocked if some lower-tier team offers more than 3.75M.

 

[SimplySolace]

Don't be shocked if some lower-tier team offers more than 3.75M.

I pray that they do.
