Post-Game Talk: Toronto Maple Leafs beat New York Islanders 3-1: PG 11 Postgame Talk

[Finnish your Czech]

Even bernier makes breakout passes through the middle

 

[Rayzorexe]

Bernier quietly having a good game considering all the talk about his confidence these last few weeks.

 

[Raymoondo]

Do you guys think he's more than just a cap dump now?

 

[Finnish your Czech]

I've said this before, but I believe that Bernier is Price-lite, at least in terms of play style. He clearly has confidence issues, so he'll likely never be a top 10 NHL starter.

He's also 3-4 inches smaller and not as good with the puck

 

[Cor]

Bernier having a nice game.

1 win 9 losses speaks for itself

 

[Hockey Talker29]

Gardiner has been brilliant this entire season. He has helped Phaneuf a lot. They complement each other nicely.

I think he's been our best overall player. A lot of what he does doesn't show up in the box score though.

 

[Leafling]

What are they doing, so many give aways

 

[Raymoondo]

1 win 9 losses speaks for itself

Guess everybody who has been doing poorly for this season only is a cap dump now.

They mentioned it that its because of his lack of size is why random shots to the net wouldn't hit his body as much as someone who is 6 foot 3 so the odd goal goes in a lot more than the average goalie.

 

[showtime8]

Leafs need to put one home.

If the Islanders get the next goal, they'll end up tying the game.

 

[Atomos2]

Rielly has had a really strong game defensively tonight

 

[Budsfan]

Leafs need to put one home.

If the Islanders get the next goal, they'll end up tying the game.

That's the way I see it too.

 

[Alerion]

15 795 to sell out the building, ouch.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

out of curiosity, do you think the leafs could make a stadium/arena that seats 40k + and still sell out every game, you would think if any team could do it it would be toronto

 

[Leafling]

Third shift in which the bozak line was hemmed in...

 

[Budsfan]

Damn, there goes the shutout

 

[LeafSadist]

Damn you Nikolai

 

[Alerion]

That's been coming for a while. Of course it's Kulemin.

Yeah, he's gotta be in the bottom 10 percentile in the league in height.

It's crazy too, because he almost never has to make desperation/nice saves because he's usually in a really good position. It makes him look like all of his saves are easy/he's not trying. Usually a smaller goalie would have to make a lot of desperation saves because he has to move more.

But yeah, he lets in too many random low/mid height shots, and too many tipped shots because there is more space

The Leafs will never build a 40K arena.

However, if/when they replace the Air Canada Centre, I would almost certainly bet the next arena will seat close to 25K-30K.

The Bell Centre is the largest with 21K.

Prediction: Islanders tie it up with 3:16 left in the game.

just figured that would get a lot of the louder folks in the arena rather then the acc which sounds more like a church then a arena
