Well uhm yeah. There was a freebie goal of ridiculousness in the third making the final damage 3-1 instead of 2-1. I'm still posting this song. This sucks. I feel like we were beat by lobotomized chimps. I don't even have it in me to write a brief summary of what happened. Chemmy will do it. He was there. Happy holidays, love WAC.

Schenn was fine. Didn’t notice him much which means he’s doing his job. I don’t think he was on the ice for any goals. 13 min 24 sec.

As long as I don't see him
fucking up and what not, I’m cool with him. He’s exempt from my rage agains the team tonight.

i think the problem is not the scoring but the predictable play. now, im trying to be positive and not play to the stereotype but the one dimensionality is starting to show. not the pure awesomeness stereotype but the one man rushes that don’t work he should stop trying that and all is good.

Me thinks
that the schedule is affecting him. Don’t forget he had no training camp. And probably didn’t work out as much this summer as most. It’s been a pretty rough schedule of late, and I think it’s starting to slow him down.

Kessel looked slow as shit out there tonight. I wrote the “chill” article this morning but having seen him in person… yikes. I’m betting he has the flu.

SWINE!!! SWINE!!!! SWINE!!!!!
Okay now that we have that out of the way. I think Kessel is feeling the presure of carrying this team, he came on hot and now thats what everyone expects. He’s trying to dangle around EVERYONE…. He needs to take a page out of Kadri’s life lessons and realize you have to dump the puck.

He missed training camp. I think that’s a huge factor.

pretty good, had a marvellous stop in the first.
The first Islanders goal was weird, he probably should have had it, but it was a bit of a fluke.

The first goal was insane. If you drew a straight line from Gustavsson to Hunter that line would go right through where I was sitting. Hunter dropped his right shoulder faking pass and I bought it hook line and sinker. The next thing I saw was the puck in the high right corner and after the replay I realized an Islanders player moves from Gus’ left to right screening him as the puck gets shot. Ridiculous play.
Blown coverage on the second goal, but Kessel was the first forward back. He couldn’t make it in time but at least he tried I guess.

Ugh
Not fun. How come everytime we play the opponents goalie gets the #1 star? I think its because we LOVE to shoot at their logo…… Do the leafs have a fetish for that?
Also Its annoying to see them slip behind, and its even more annoying to hear Bowman telling us about it .

he swings from competent analysis to banal fodder. i mean it is leafs tv but still. i don’t care that we have gone down 27 times this year to the first goal. ok, i care but don;t want it thrown in my face.

Oh, it wasn’t a shot at his talent, he can score, with a special knack of doing it within 5 feet of the net. I still think he tried to retire a few years back, and keeps forgetting to sign the papers.

yes
but these past three games it seems they’ve been on the ice for, if not the most goals against, then at least the most crushing ones.

This is largely my fault. During the first intermission I bought myself a Tavares tshirt. :(
