GDT: Leafs vs Blues II

[Swervin81]

One of Phaneuf or Kessel have to go this offseason.

Just too much money tied up in 2 flawed players.

Would you rather the guy who is 2nd in league scoring or a low end #1 D with severe inability to think the game? Sounds like an easy choice.

 

[saffronleaf]

...wtf?

I didn't expect us to win this game; the Blues are simply a better team.

But giving up 23 shots?! This is outrageous.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Really hoping Bernier will be back in the second period.

I wasn't really paying attention at the end of the period. Did something happen to suggest that he might not?

 

[TML FTW*]

I hope if the Blues are in their locker room laughing at us, Alex Pietrangelo doesn't join as he's from the GTA and everything.

 

[Wendelstache]

A lot of posters are just pointing out hypocrisy.

No goalie should be blamed for 4 out of the 5 games Reimer played, neither should Bernier this period.

Difference is Reimer puts us down 2-0, 3-0 ... totally out of the game... as oppose to Bernier.

C'mon it was 1-1, 22-6 in shots ... (until Phaneuf totally ****ed up).

I think thats better than what Reimer has been doing the past 5 games he started.

 

[KPower]

This team is absolute garbage and doesn't deserve the playoffs.

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

The record for shots against in a game is 83 so St Louis need to step it up if they want to break it.

That record is from 1941 between Hawks and Bruins.

...How did he expect Phaneuf to swing back at Backes when he's being pulled out of the scrum by the face?

Phaneuf is a pansy and a coward. He was running like a scared cat.

Captain and #1 D... Shame on you Nonis for signing him. ****ing joke.

He for some reason didn't go down on the second goal.

Not going down on that Backes goal. Maybe he didn't want to stress his groin out too much.

 

[Matt24]

McCabe got exposed when he could not use the can opener and get away with it anymore.

Hence the 'few good years' comment... also McCabe's shot was actually accurate.

 

[Al14]

For the record, Dion is 10x worse than McCabe was. At least McCabe had a few good years and played well in a couple playoff runs. What has Phaneuf done?

Exactly!

 

[Trapper]

Outshot 23-7 while fighting for your playoff lives.
Your core is supposed to get you to the playoffs.
Your depth wins championships.
Other than a 48 game season, this team is poised to miss the playoffs 8 out of 9 years.

Kessel?

Hahahahahahahaha!

 

[realgoodleafs]

Carlyle should be fired. I can't really see how our team game could get any worse.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

I wonder if Bernier was hurt and didnt go down to cover the net on that last goal.. He looked bad on that one for sure

He looked awkward. Bring in MacIntyte if need be.

 

[share]

This could be 6-1 right now if not for Bernier.

Blues on pace for 69 shots.

Wow Blues are a powerhouse cycle team.

As much as I agree with you, Bernier has to have the puck stopped from going through 5 hole on that second goal..He looked really bad there..Should be 1-1 because he is our number one goalie and we expect him to bail us out like he did on the other 25 shots..

 

[Gallagbi]

Hard to imagine Carlyle keeping his job at this pace. There's no excuse for that type of domination and it isn't effort or talent level. A good portion of those shots are due to the Leafs collapsing and giving up point shots, which is coming from the bench.

 

[StringsAttached]

I just tuned in from class and saw 23 shots for the Blues in the first period! lmfao. We're definitely winning this.

 

[mikeyz]

I am just laughing at all the Reimer fanboys on here coming out of the woodwork after that 2nd goal.

it's funny how they were nowhere to be found the first 10-12 minutes of the period when Bernier was single handedly keeping the score 0-0 and 1-0.

Yes, that 2nd goal was bad, but, let's be honest. If Reimer started tonight, it would likely be 6-1 St Louis already.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

He for some reason didn't go down on the second goal.

Oh, that's right. Let's just hope he did it because he was pissed off.

 

[Paradoc]

This would have been easily 4-0 without Bernier in net.

I'm just happy the blues are blowing this team out so that idiot coach can be fired.

 

[KPower]

Kypreos calling out phaneuf big time.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Caps are beating the Kings 2-0. Damn

 

[alliuk12]

I don't know about this team man. Kypreos is destroying Phaneuf on Sportsnet right now.

as he should
