Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Game Recap: Tomas Kaberle 4 Leafs 3


Final - 12.4.2008 1 2 3 Total
Toronto Maple Leafs 2 1 0 3
Tomas Kaberle B 1 3 4

Complete Coverage >


Tomas Kaberle was benched during the first period of last night's game, where he got to watch Hanzal and Ponikarovsky each pick up a pair of goals. Not content to see two players come so close to getting a hat trick, Kaberle decided to allow Hanzal to score shorthanded on his first shift. The Leafs tied it towards the end of the second when Fist Pump scored an easy tap in.

The third period was pretty much a complete trainwreck. Steven Reinprecht scored a pair before Todd Fedoruk capped the 6-3 night. Todd Fedoruk. who has 76 points in 418 games.

This was a terrible game, Toskala was as bad as ever, the Kaberle issue is about to come to its head, and the Leafs only managed eighteen shots on goal, and the whole team lacked any real hustle or flow. As a few people have pointed out, the Leafs had an 8am practice in Phoenix this morning before returning to Toronto. Good.

doesn’t suffer fools, or laziness.

I dunno if this is gonna get through to Kabby though. He has never seemed to respond well to criticism or punishment.
I think he’s just going to have to decide he is playing better and find his own way to clear his head.

Can you imagine how awful this team would be without Hagman, Grabovski, and Kulemin?

I like skating myself to near death, because at the end there is nothing better than the cool arena air cooling you off.

running stairs is hell on my bad knee though.

being a beer league extra sucks, they only call me when they need an extra body.
I get the luck to join a team full of people who grew up together and hate outsiders.

Just checking. I don’t want to be used again.

Our night was magical, and nothing can take that away from us, even if Kabby should probably be benched some more.
