Post-Game Talk: Leafs @ Rangers 1/26/13 "Boyle stole DZ's goal" Edition

[Tikkanese]

Staged fights are embarrassing.

Fights are not helping this team in any way right now. Especially when Human Punching Bag Aaron Asham ("HPBAA") is involved. I haven't seen him land a good punch yet, but he's certainly absorbing them. And while Rupp got a few in early on Orr, that one turned bad quickly as well.

 

[Tikkanese]

Folks did Bickel play D? Also did Arnott play? If so, how did he look?

Emminger was in for Bickel and thankfully was not noticeable (unlike god ole Stu, who has been noticeably horrid so far this season).

 

[Maineice11]

you know nash only has one goal this season and redden has one goal...was it really worth the trade for nash? We could have just kept redden.....hahahhaha, I am just kidding, totally joking here!

 

[SnowblindNYR]

No and no but Ferriero was amazing

I'm going to watch the game, so I'll see anyway, but why did you feel he was amazing? Has he really added bottom 6th depth?

he was our 2nd line center

 

[MorrisWanchuk]

I'd much rather have an incompetent bottom 6 than an incompetent top 6.

Couldn't have put it better

Many TO posters were saying our top line has 3 players better than any Leaf player. Good for us, but they have to perform.

 

[Levitate]

I do think Nash needs to step it up and finish some of these chances he's getting. I'm glad he's contributing but he needs to get some goals too.

Fierrero was good, 12 minutes of ice time, didn't mess up though I think he passed on a shot or two. Wouldn't mind him staying in the bottom six, he skates hard and is quick

 

[MorrisWanchuk]

nash is very skilled no doubt, but at the moment he reminds me of a more talented chris higgins

Made me laugh

Nash reminds me more of Jagr than Higgins

He looked good but took an interference and was the cause if too many men minor . I like his wheels and he likes to finish his checks . Good fit and honestly looks more polished than CK

 

[Tawnos]

Nash has converted on one of his maybe dozen high quality chances in the 5 games this season. Unlike Higgins, I don't think it will last. However, in this short time frame, the comparison is actually kind of a good one.

I couldn't tell you about the too many men, but Ferriero didn't take any penalties last night.

Techincally he didn't, but, he was the player sent to the box for the "too many men", penalty, due in part to him overstaying a shift.

I was referring to Dorado saying he took an interference penalty.

My bad

 

[Dorado*]

My bad that was HALPERN who took interference on Bozak

 

[Ola]

Staal was the best player on the ice tonight, but Boyle was lights out as well.

Ferriero looked solid as well. That Hagelin-Ferriero-Cally line was all over the place

Yeah, that line definitely gave us a dimension we haven't had in a while...

...but now I guess 39 y/o speedster Jason "I have a big ego" Arnott will come in and we will break that line up.

Boyle also had his best shifts with Hags and Ferriero.

 

[Tawnos]

The line of Hagelin-Ferriero-Callahan also didn't have a center. It wasn't a sustainable line.

 

[leonardodm]

 

[Ola]

You serious?

8 shots, two assists, was pretty much the reason why the play on the 3rd goal stayed alive.

He was tired at times for sure. He PKed with Stepan, then sat for a few seconds and where out again.

 

[Doctyl]

if he fixes the PP i dont really care about how slow, overpaid, or how big arnott's ego is

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Can't say enough about the GNR line. Only thing I'm concerned about is being able to "double shift" them in back to back games. We seem to be a one line team right now. Benn looked good out there and that line with him, Hags and Cally were going in with nice speed. 4th line still scares the crap out of me when they're on the ice though.

Wow. I just noticed this. Has anyone here ever played Fallout 3? Galaxy News Radio.

It's the 3 Dog line.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

All I could think about was Guns N Roses

 

[Krams]

[Ranger109]

I thought from Start to finish the Rangers had there best game.

Even down 2-0, I was shocked because the team was playing really well. They really showed it last night and continued. Great effort and man that first line again.


Ferriero - I thought he looked good. Fast, strong on the puck, worked hard.

Ashamed lost one fight so far. Last two seasons he pretty won every fight. Brown caught him last night. Happens. Especially when you fight wide open. If you need further evidence YouTube his fights from the past two seasons.
