Pick their spots better? They were jumped.... And you do realize the leafs ends up on the pp out of that right? And their pk was 2nd best least year.
- burn

More refering to Clarkson leaving the bench,as for their pk thats good because its going to be tested .It better remain in the top half because i can see the leafs up there with the top penalised teams

Actually, it's Reimer who skated out of his crease...
- Pecafan Fan

First, I am not so sure I take that same view of it (bad memory). Let's assume I do.

How long has the league "protected" goalies outside the crease?

Years?

Decades?

... It is good to know that if Kadri skates by Price and concusses him, that you will be OK with that.

Cox is an idiot. He's half right though - the scenario was a definetly a tap on the should scenario and he should be held accountable somewhat for all the poop that went down.
- BlowMonkey

Cox is right

Rolston: let's (frank) sone poop up
Carlyle: Scott won't do anything if I send Phil out there.

Carlyle clearly overestimated Scott's capacity to think

So that was all pointless and stupid on both sides.

Preseason game that cost both sides players.

I could only imagine what would have happened if someone would have gotten hurt in the brawl.

The Coach(es) of the team(s) whose player(s) (including goalkeepers) left the players’ bench(es) or penalty bench(es)during an altercation shall be suspended, pending a review by the Commissioner. The Coach(es) also will be fined a maximum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000).

Perhaps.

On the other hand, you may be ignoring the fact that the Leafs have a number of fast, skilled players also. It is not like they are a goon squad.

They are built to compete with Boston.

again - he's not picking his spot to come of the bench - he's doing it save Phil's life not to exact some kind of revenge or something.

I just don't think Gionta did it on purpose.

I mean, if I were to purposely try to concuss a guy, I wouldn't use my butt.

exactly. his suspension is only effective in the regular season. will be the same deal with Clarkson. he won't get special treatment because it's Toronto.
- scotch_tape

who knows.... if shanny treats his mimico brethren likes he treats the rangers.... there will be no regular season suspensions for the leafs...

It was a really really dumb move by Carlyle. It could cost the Leafs a playoff spot.

so on a serious note... just trying to understand how you view these things....

when Orr demolished have the Habs line-up (2 or 3 physically) and the rest psychologically... was Orr to blame for starting that event... or does the honor go to Plekanec for slashing Orr?

I can't wait to hear the response on this one. English please.


- BorjeFan4Ever

It was a test. I was wondering at what point you could bring up the ORR-DEMOLISHED THE-HABS-PSYCHOLOGICALLY-INCIDENT, and I got my answer.

Let's sum this poop up ....

1. Clarkson is dumb
2. Kessel is a puss
3. Scott and Rolston are big fat Pieces of poop




.... OH , And Bruce needs a snickers bar

to Scott's defense, after the poopkicking Orr and McLaren gave him last year, he probably didn't know it was Kessel he was lining up against.

again - he's not picking his spot to come of the bench - he's doing it save Phil's life not to exact some kind of revenge or something.
- BlowMonkey

Kessel was not in that kind of danger ,he has his stick,refs and teamates on the ice to make sure of that .Clarkson leaving the bench wasnt a good idea ,and will likely get 10 games for it

Yep...it was a dumb move.

Carlyle's mistake was not having someone sit on Clarkson. I'm not sure this is a bad thing for the Leafs.

I just don't think Gionta did it on purpose.

I would!

that's fantastic.

So how many games does Carlyle get in all this?

Clarkson getting suspended isn't a bad thing?
