rypat19 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Not a chance. The first call was not interference, Park was trying to hit Pleks. Second, good call that time, Pleks was holding with one hand on the man and one on the stick. Third call, total crap, Pleks did not trip him, he was just in the vicinity as the Islander fell. Pleks is a bit tired, but 2 of the 3 penalties were bad calls. watch again he clearly grabs with his left arm pulls mand down as he goes around him on first. NOT even close. 2nd lazy penalty. Third all alone in o zone and pulls him down.( third one may be questionable. first one was so blatant I cannot believe anyone can argue it. Wow. Ladies and gentlemen, we have ouselves another goaltending debate as to who is the real number one! no you don't This is clearly a showcase game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Without Halak and Markov the score would 5-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourne Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I cannot believe the impact Markov has had tonight. First game back and he is convincingly playing for a hat trick? Additionally Gionta is likely back soon? Christmas has come early people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubby31 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 how is every team that needs a #1 goalie not knocking on our door....what a goalie. Obviously there is a lot of good goaltenders to be had for very cheap so the market is really depressed. Durability and consistency are still issues but that applies to basically any young goalie so it shouldn't been too much of a problem. The panel was discussing this earlier today.....saying that if BG sends him on his way.....as his agent has already told BG that he will be demanding more $$$$$$......it will be a gamble.....for the fact that if we are around 7th or 8th spot.....having a #2 back up goalie such as Halak.....would of course help our cause going into the playoffs. The mention that they feel that we would not get a 2nd pick......but most likely a top 6 forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourne Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Can someone confirm roster freeze is today??? Already announced, as of 12am the trade free is in effect. Players may still be called up from the AHL however. So technically it is tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny_canuck_21 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Feels good to have two #1 goalies, huh? I can never understand why so many fans are in one camp or the other. IMO we should be thankful that we have 2 young goalies who are very capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnjscott Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Glad we're up 2-0....but I sure wish the boys would play smarter. Maybe the coach needs to coach smarter. Too many giveaways, and when we get chances, we seem to make the wrong decisions. Like Patches making that great move, then giving the puck up instead of shooting. Or Gomez streaking into the zone, only to put on the brakes and stop. Take it to the net, for crying out loud! And at one point, we were giving up a 3-on-2 and made a line change! What's up with that? Gill is having a lousy game, too. Wish he would be more consistent. In fact, inconsistency seems to be a trademark for this team. This season especially. Earlier, we were totally outshooting our opponents. Now it's just the opposite. Earlier, we were blowing away teams, then we get blown out five games in a row. We should use our speed more to our advantage. We aren't the biggest team in the NHL, so might as well be the fastest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourne Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 wow... i just relized the Habs game is on CBC when i've been watching it on RDS struggling to understand the french.... In the future, when they are only on RDS you ought to mute the TV and put the radio on either via computer or an actual radio. I would suggest the latter as the computer may have a delay.

I1IscottieI1I Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 id really like to keep halak because he is without a doubt the #1 backup goalie in the league but if he is now wanting lots of ice time and would rather be traded then we may have too. With that said if he is really playing an amazing game I would give him the next one and ride with the hot hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
