Chandrashekhar Limit
From the runaway slave to a modern day king.
Not that RC had much choice with all of the injuries/wife in labour/suspensions.
Kadri on the 4th line and Bozak on the 1st line.
Hmmm, not exactly rocket science here

Carlyle got out coached by a rookie coach.
Avs are a HARD working team. You look at that defense and you think it sucks but man do they make you work hard for every chance you get.
On the Leafs...we have talent on our D but 3/6 defenseman are known for coasting IMO. Gunnar, Ranger and Gardiner are too loose.
Phaneuf played okay. Franson/Rielly were great.
Carlyle sucked badly. Kadri with Orr the entire game...it's as if we want to turn Kadri into a 4th liner in the AHL.
All in all, pretty glad to be 3-1 despite not having a 60 minute effort so far.
Bernier was once again excellent in net. I can't really blame him for Sarich's goal because it felt like it was a perfect shot made for that top corner.
Roy played his best players to win him the game. Leafs simply didn't do that. I think the Leafs were more content trying to hang on to the point and take it to OT than actually try to score a goal in the 3rd which ultimately cost us the game.
Don't even get me started on Ranger...
Rielly looked great.
Good game guys. You guys are much better than I thought.
That's a laugh. Orr can barely handle the puck. He can play, but only in a strictly 4th line role.
Faceoff guru Bozak played 23 minutes and was 39%.. 11/28
Kadri was 8/15 (53%).
I wonder how Interactiff defends Bozak shooting wide. Bozak shooting at goalie chest, Bozak losing faceoffs now.
You guys that loved Bozak forever are flipping? This is what I have seen the whole time but a little more consistency in his awful play.
Kadri on the 4th line and Bozak on the 1st line.

Play: Ranger, Orr
Don't play: Kadri, Rielly
Profit.
Carlyle tried to to get it with the cautious code. Play it tight and firm, didn't work out. Tried to save energy and all.
Bernier was really good and so was Roy... I mean varlamov.
Can't win em all and don't even want to. Would have been entertaining and important even to see some fights and more physical effort. They lost it with intentions tonight. Sometimes you have to lose so you can have that great energy to win again. 82 games cannot be won. Ever. We are the hardest team in the league.
