Post-Game Talk: Leafs vs Rangers- Oct 30th

[Eb]

Record is perhaps the wrong term. "Individual milestone" is better.

First career goal? Check.

New career high in goals? Check

Hometown boy scores against the Leafs? Check

Former Leaf scores against the Leafs? Check

First career shutout against the Leafs? Check

Slumpbuster goal? Check

and on...and on....and on

My point is that every team have these against them. To think this happens to the Leafs more than any other team is completely foolish and ignorant.

Not a very entertaining game, was it?

Games against the Rangers are always boring

It's Babcock's style.Watch the Wings - boring.

 

[glucker]

there's a cure for this, his name is Auston Matthews

...aaaaaand he's hurt.

Bad ice, bad Leafs, tight Rangers with a great goaltender= boring.

 

[Orfieus]

Let's just suck it up. The Leafs were not going to make the playoffs so every loss is what this team needs for its long term rebuild.

At least the Leafs are tough to play against, IMHO.

 

[King85Kong]

And we get Kessel tomorrow night Get to see some snipes.

Well, to get technical, its not completely foolish. The Leafs have allowed the third most goals against over the past three years. So a lot of people are scoring against us. I can't prove it now, but I'd also bet that the GTA contributes the most players of any single city metropolitan area in the league, so theres more "hometown boys" to score against the us then any other city..

EDIT - If you want to go back further, the Leafs have allowed the most goals (2500) in the league since the 2004 lockout.

Which is the first line?Bozak line played more than Kadri line.

Who cares? I'm not starting a Bozak vs Kadri debate here, but it's pretty clear what the first line is.

I don't think they have a 1st. line, they just have lines that Babcock divvies out ice time to.

Babcock probably doesn't know who is getting what ice time until the game unfolds.

At least we're the best at something.

He plays who seems to be playing well at a given time.

I am going to the game with my Kessel jersey on and will cheer fr my fav player

 

[mikebel111*]

The great Bozak will shut him down

Really who cares what's the 'first line' on this crappy team?

 

[Nithoniniel]

Yeah that's my feeling as well.

How?

This team sucks offensively but has been one of the best defensively on even strength. Offense and special teams are killing them along with goaltending.

We have played decent to great in every game outside of The one against Detroit. Pittsburgh isn't going to light us up. We will lose a close one though.

Yay, Mats got a hatty! I knew he had it in hi -- oh...

I agree, that's what I was saying before the other poster tried to bait a Kadri v. Bozak debate.

Don't like our chances. To many scorers on the Pens. Don't need many now a days to beat the Leafs.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I think if Reimer plays tomorrow, we will get lit up.

 

[Snow Dog]

I bet Kessel gets booed tommorrow.

Babcock said Bernier is starting .
