To be fair to Ovechkin his place was at the point and he couldn't have made it to prevent the goal
But man... as someone else said, he didn't even flinch.

Mike Gillis: "We're going to do a thorough review" before making any decision on Alain Vigneault
Schneider mystery injury was his groin. Offseason talk, but I thought some of you in here would be interested.

He was saying he was 100% and had been cleared to play. The injury had apparently healed completely, but Schneider may have rushed himself back. eg, Last week he was saying he was ready to go and then the next day he wasn't at practice.Vigneault you dumbass, no wonder he let it so many shots through his five hole.
Go ahead, Leafs fans! Take advantage of this tiny window of opportunity - might be another 10 years before it opens again!Excuse me, take it to the off-season thread. This is for playoff teams only!

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

It's called unsustainable shooting percentage and puck luck.Speaking of ghosts, what's the deal with Kadri?
Just saw it again. Kessel didn't have Lucic at all until the very last moment when it was irrelevant anyhow. O'Byrne played it well and took away the passing lane. Phaneuf gets 95% of the blame there - 5% to Reimer.I've been watching replays of the GWG, and I think we're being a bit hard on Phaneuf. He made a poor decision that led to a goal (and wasn't very good in general last night) but O'Byrne played the 2v1 very poorly. With Kessel backchecking like a maniac and tying up the stick of the other Boston player, O'Byrne should have took the man. Instead he just stayed in the middle, expecting a pass. I think the puck went off him, too. Ugh.
With that being said, Dion has to be our best D every night, not #4 behind Gunnar, Gardiner and Franson in the most important game of the season.
Interesting. He definitely did not look his usual self out there.Schneider mystery injury was his groin. Offseason talk, but I thought some of you in here would be interested.
Review what ?
2 first round exits after choking in the final round isn't a great job, and having one of the best teams in the leagues for this long with 2 #1 goalies isn't a difficult situation. Gillis should get the boot along with AV.Gillis said:AV is a great coach, done a great job in a difficult situation. ...going to hit the reset button on a number of fronts. No one is immune
Someone had to do it. Apparently.
How do you feel Gillis has handled the Luongo situation in it's entirety Socreges? We talked about it when you were banned, I'm curious what your thoughts are on it.
Big reply in a more appropriate location.2 first round exits after choking in the final round isn't a great job, and having one of the best teams in the leagues for this long with 2 #1 goalies isn't a difficult situation. Gillis should get the boot along with AV.
GO LEAFS GOSomeone had to do it. Apparently.
ALL IN ON VOKOUN TONIGHT, FOLKS. PENS VICTORY INCOMING.
Pensblog:
In the salary-cap era, it seems really strange to have your team's backup goaltender making $2 million a year, especially when your number-one goalie is making $5 million. The summer following Fleury's collapse in the Flyers series, the memory was still fresh on Ray Shero's mind, and he made a move. He traded for Tomas Vokoun and quickly turned around and signed him to a two-year contract at $2 million per. It seemed like a hefty sum, and it still is. It just shows how important a solid backup goalie was to Shero.
And it all boils down to tonight. If your mantra is "In Shero We Trust," there's no point in turning back now.
Is Murray really getting top 4 minutes?
Sheltered minutes? Norris.Why is Letang listed on the 3rd pairing?
Sheltered minutes? Norris.
Yeah Clowe can slot in wherever. Dat top 6 skill with world class toughness. Too bad he's so SloweRyane Clowe had shifts on lines with almost every single Rangers forward last night. The only one he never appeared with on a shift was Mats Zuccarello. Dat versatility.
Martin Erat will be out of Game 5 for the Caps.
Using fenwick to explain game 4 and using that as a basis for next year? LOL. You realize Leafs are the worst posession team currently in the playoffs, and also in the entire league right? But yea, one night will change that!Leafs looking good for next year. They've been handily outplaying Boston for all you fenwick nerds or whatever.

Also, looking at it again, that was totally a bitchface to Cuthbert, and Reimer's wife just tweeted an excuse to save face.

You're right I misread that, you trying to make the argument you actually are compared to the one I thought you were makes you look even more dumb.Wow, you really have poor reading comprehension.
Girl #30 needs to go home, #36 kind of looks like Price's sister.Wow, you really have poor reading comprehension.
Notice, how their fenwick/scoring chances skyrocketed when they rolled just their top three lines (with no facepunchers) and top two pairings (including Gardiner-Franson, who were +11 and 12 in fenwick respectfully)
The real kicker is that most of our vets are playing like shit.
