Tiring our team out, causing for more penalties and more goals against. Rinse repeat.

Did you notice how SJ played in their own zone? Their forwards were always right up on our dman and kept pressing the puck rather than protecting the middle. Allows SJ to retrieve the puck and break out together as a team. Which is why their possession numbers are so good.

Personally I missed most of the 1st period...I was too busy cringing and trying to watch through tiny finger slits in my hands.

their forecheck was hard nosed and worked well.

i noticed they like to slowly flick the puck in, instead of rifling it along the boards...gives the forwards time to get in there before the D man can even touch the puck, and the goalie cant play the puck either...

TAKE NOTE RANDY YOU USELESS PILE.

Amazing how things can change so quickly. Last year he's a hero and a big reason why the Leafs stopped playing so terribly, like under Wilson. Now he's a goat that doesn't know what he's doing.

Thats RC's game plan

Gardner, Reimer and a first, for eberle, dubnyk and petry

yeah, drives me nuts. I can't get under 225 no matter what I do. I'd like to get to 210 or 215. I'd be pretty ripped if I were 210. Comes with age I guess. Metabolism isn't what it used to be.

I'm sure I could if I stopped drinking for a while. But I love beer way too much.

Really dumb suggestion, but try eating vegetables and trail mix for breakfast, have the toast or whatever that you have for breakfast now at lunch, you'll find that your dinner will be a smaller portion. I'm not a heavy guy, never have been, but that diet has helped many people I know get real healthy (the veggies in the morning increase your energy levels), which believe it or not allows you to burn more calories. In the morning we're still detoxing so adding heavy foods in the morning doesn't help at all. I needed to switch to this diet because on my old diet I was destined for Osteoarthritis and diabetes.

pulling the goalie earlier yields better results overall

Doesn't seem to mention in that article that pulling him while basically still in the neutral zone is a stupid (frank)ing idea.

Cover the Points! What a great idea!

I think he's a good coach, just stubborn.

Scabeh you spend an awful lot of time in the leafs threads. You sure you like the Habs most?

Nazem Kadri is back on the ice. Wearing top line white. Likely means Tyler Bozak will miss practice.

The fact I like to hang around here confuses you?

As for your question, yes I'm sure. Thanks for worrying.

Edit: Fact is, I get along pretty well with some Leafs posters/refs and I enjoy it.

after years of Wilson, anything was an improvement.

it just so happend that reimer was a wall and we actually scored goals 5 on 5 and not just on the PP.

our PK was better because we were blocking more shots and actually clearing the puck out when we got the chance to.

Wilson?? I agree.....

I meant Carlyle buff.

If you can take a stat and improve on it then why not. Just like shots and +/-, Corsi is not infallible...but if you have more data available today than you did yesterday..I would use it
- senstroll

I guess I should ask you the same question because I'd really like to see it. Can you show where Corsi/Fenwick tells a different story than SOG used in an identical manner?
