Its become a regular occurrence these days ...... Sometimes I think the leafs commentators are awful, but then I watch some American small market broadcasters and I realize it could be worse. He should not be mixing up Kessel and JVR when they shoot different ways and look totally different on the ice.
If you traded Selanne expecting similar numbers from Frattin your probably not going to get it. He will be a very solid 3d liner with the ability to go on some good scoring sprees. He is not going to be a consistent top 6 guy ever I don't think. He was getting a little over hyped a bit.

Kadri+Lupul+Kessel=Lethal
What a line, love the way Carlyle rewarded Kadri in the Leafs second last game of the year. Will be interesting to see if they play together against Montreal on Saturday.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
The Leafs success will depend on how Kadri does in the faceoff circle. He will be matched against Bergeron who is best in the league. I wouldn't be surprised if McClement started off taking the faceoffs.
In three games against Boston this year, Kadri is 10-27, or 38%. This will make or break us in the playoffs I think.
BOS vs TOR, early in OT Dion steps up and misses his check on Krejci. Krejci slowly skates through the circle and shoots an unimpeded, unscreened and unchallenged wrist shot from the bottom of the circle RIGHT THRU Reimer for the win, and DPhan is taking the heat for that one?
Reimer should have had that and he knows it. it went thru him for crying out loud! your goalie has to have that IMO.

Yes Reimer should have had that but my beef is with O'Byrne on that play. Kessel busted his ass to get back and take away the pass and does O'Byrne step up and take away Krejci's shot or at least contest it? Nope he just keeps backing in and lets Krejci have an uncontested wrister from 12 feet on hi off-wing. Horrible defensive zone coverage.
O'Byrne is a liability in his own end and while I originally though it was smart to pick him up to play with Liles since they were partners in Colorado, I now think it was a horrible move, the guy is pretty much a plug.
Sure Reimer should have had that, but that was an absolutely bone-headed play by Phaneuf to pinch like that with the risks involved. It would be bone-headed for a rookie, let alone an 8-year vet and TEAM CAPTAIN.
So, yes, DPhan is taking the heat for that one, and justifiably. The fact that Reimer and O'Byrne didn't do their jobs doesn't excuse Phaneuf's horrid gaffe, they wouldn't have been in that position if Phaneuf does the right thing and backs off at the blueline.

With that huge body, O'Byrne could have easily decided to hit the ice and impede both the shot and the pass across the slot, once Krejci hit the bottom of the circle. Most top-notch Dmen would have done exactly that. Sure Krejci still could have gotten a shot off above OB's body (although that would be tough) and he might have made a great move putting on the brakes and letting OB slide by, but he'd have a more difficult move to execute in both cases.
