Notice him being far more vocal on the bench.

Leafs are getting good at scoring ENs from their own zone.

They've seen it happen so often against them. Finally decided "Hey, that looks doable. Let's try it"

Yeah I don't understand the turning into the boards last second. Why are guys doing that so often?
- PlatosRepucklic

I think they assume because it's almost an automatic penalty if the hit is finished that the hitter is far less likely to follow through. Then they could cycle endlessly unless the defenseman has a 12 foot stick.

For Babcock:

This guy just gave it the kiss of death
- PlatosRepucklic[/quote. deal with it, that was a playoff performance against a great team on the road. This team is for real. Babcock needs to play Freddy tomorrow

20.3 Substitution –

When a player has been assessed a major penalty
and has been removed from the game or is injured, the offending
team does not have to place a substitute player on the penalty bench
immediately, but must do so at a stoppage of play prior to the
expiration of the major penalty. He may then legally exit the penalty
bench when the major penalty has expired. If the player has been
assessed minor penalties in addition to the major penalty that must
also be served on the penalty time clock, the offending team must
place a substitute on the penalty bench immediately.


Failure to place a player on the penalty bench prior to the
expiration of the major penalty will result in that team having to
continue playing one player short (but not officially considered shorthanded)
until the next stoppage of play. Any replacement player who
enters the game other than from the penalty bench shall constitute an
illegal substitution under Rule 68 – Illegal Substitution calling for a
bench minor penalty.


Furthermore, if the team fails to place a player on the penalty
bench to return to the ice at the end of the major penalty, they
continued to play short-handed but are not permitted to ice the puck
as they are no longer short-handed by reason of a penalty.

Shouldn't the officials have blown the whistle on the Leafs icings?

Ahhh, thought one got by him, but smart reaction by their goalie/coaches.

Did Fehr get injured?

Go Leafs Go!

Trade Nylander!

night folks

A what game!

Would it be a mistake to start Freddy again tomorrow night? The guy is on fire and you gotta ride these streaks a little, especially at this time of year.

I can't believe they killed 7 straight minutes shorthanded...and I can't believe they traded David Clarkson.

Nah the Leafs need to be able to count on McElhinney and he's been solid

I wonder if after so few EN goals and so many blown leads, as a team they just said (frank) it, shoot for the empty net from our side if you get the puck, take your chance on the icing. It's worked the last couple of games.

F (rank) it
Boston's problem now

Tonight however we'll no doubt lose Bozak's to injury... He's on 49 points, so the hockey gods will no doubt ensure that he somehow doesn't reach 50

Great game boys!!!!! Finally, we have something to really cheer about!

God damn you Columbus! Is this your motto!

He'll pull a "Matthews" and disappear for the last 10 games.

Augello is correct... the competition aren't keeping up with the pace and the Toronto Maple Leafs continue to do the unthinkable, and work their way into the playoffs....

God damn you Columbus! Is this your motto!
