Maple Leafs v. Senators

PrintThe Ottawa Senators roll into Toronto on the back of a franchise-best 11 game winning streak. Their road record is not blowing up any skirts at 12-13-1 but they have won six in a row. How have they been doing it? Brian Elliott is beating the odds. It is interesting that this hot streak began just after Eli Wilson was canned as the senators' goalie coach. As I tweeted to Dany Heatley Speedwagon earlier this week about what Melvin Udall might say about Bryan Murray:
I think of an NHL General Manager and I take away reason and accountability.
After the coaching carousel and screwing the pooch with the Dany Heatley trade this summer Bryan Murray's lucky that his team has gone on this ridiculous run.
| GAA | SV% | SV% Rank | |
| Elliott (Jan. 14) | 2.91 | .893 |
45th |
| Elliott (Feb. 5) | 2.43 | .913 |
20th |
| Elliott (streak) | 1.22 | .960 | N/A |
The Senators are missing Erik Karlsson who seemed to be putting together his game until an injury sidelined him until after the Olympics. As with Elliott, the recent 11 game win streak has helped hide just what a terrible season he was having up this point.
Here is the Leafs' line-up for tonight.
Toronto Maple Leafs (via Jonas Siegel)
Forwards
Ponikarovsky Bozak Kessel
Mitchell Hanson Stempniak
Kulemin Wallin Sjostrom
Rosehill Primeau Orr
Defense
Beauchemin Phaneuf
Kaberle Gunnarsson
Schenn
Exelby/Finger
Goalie
Giguere
*Only an optional skate this morning so no word on whether Jeff Finger will get back in as the sixth defenseman.
The Kulemin-Wallin-Sjostrom line was very good last night as was the entire team really except for the last 3 minutes of the game. At this point, Jonas Gustavsson does not provide the same measure of control and comfort that Jean-Sebastien Giguere did on Tuesday night. Giguere will be getting the start and Gustavsson will get a front row seat to see the kind of approach that will make him the goalie I think he has the tools to become. Where Gustavsson attacks the play, Giguere lets it come to him and that is an important distinction.
It's a shame that this deal couldn't have been made in November (along with the Phaneuf trade) but you can see that the Leafs are building a good base going forward. The average age of the team is 26.1 years of age. They only have one forward over 30 and next year could have none older than 28. On the defence there is only one regular over 30 years of age (Finger is 30 but a stand-in) and next year there could be 0 as well. This team will probably get younger as well next year when a player like Viktor Stalberg becomes a regular and Gunnarsson plays a full season in the NHL. There will be growing pains. Hopefully next year there are fewer.

also
I was thinking last night, after the meltdown, that this is why we needed Giguere as well – not just for his ability to play, but I think that he can give tips to Gustavsson about what to do in a game like that. Things always sound different when coming from a peer. And then, Giguere can show him how it’s done. Much better than having Gustavsson watch the atrocious goaltending that Toskala provided.

He hasn’t had a real mentor figure since he came here. Giguere looks to be that guy. It should help Gustavsson a lot. He has the coaching and he seems to have the desire to work hard and succeed. Now he has a real mentor and peer to talk to, and I think that’s huge.

Totally
Before it was just like “Hey, listen to Allaire. He’s smart.” but what did he REALLY have to do? Just be better than Toskala, which clearly wasn’t hard.
Now he’s got Giguere, who can say “Hey, you should listen to Allaire, because he helped me become a Conn Smythe winner and a Stanley Cup Champion.”
Big, big, big difference.

As I re-read last night's GDT
I realized how much I cursed the team, saying things like:
“They just look so…. Calm. I have faith in them holding this lead”
and
“Not saying ‘playoffs!!!1’ but we’re clearly able to skate and hang with the top team in the Conference.”
and
“Not to over-hype it, but I have a Leafs in Suits post ready to go.”
Especially bad because the third one was a lie, I’m still not done that post.

And now the guy who’s supposed to relieve me of my duties called in sick and I work a 14-hour double, so I have all kinds of time on my hands.

bright side of last night’s loss – the leafs were up 6-1 through 116 or so minutes against the Devils. that’s pretty good.

Arch just saw your tweet about calling in sick. Someone did that shit to me last night.
Dicks.
Who wants to hear a funny ass joke?
UGH
Such bullshit.
I’m not against calling in sick, but you don’t call in sick when:
- You know someone is going to have to work 14 hours to cover you
- It’s a Saturday and you know I never have Saturday nights off
- You know we’re short handed because of Vancouver
- Its a self-imposed sickness from drinking too much because you have every Friday off
- It’s 3pm and you work at 430pm
- You’re THE person at work who gets the most bent out of shape when they get ‘screwed over’. Honestly, the guy that called in is the most loudmouthed and ridiculous person in this whole building and he gets up in arms when ever the slightest thing doesn’t go his way. And he’s going to leave me with a 14 hour shift on a Saturday when I had to be in at 11am? Not cool.

It's not even close
This dude is a spaz. He acts like a child and carries on like everything bad that happens here only happens to him.
example: Working at the mercy of sports, occasionally we deal with overtime/extra innings/shootous, etc, but when it happens to him he loses his mind: “FUCK! Why does this always happen to me? Every time I have a fucking early game it goes to OT and I have to stay late. Wah, wah, wah.”
This is a guy who complains when he gets his shift changed to work the same hours but for more money, because he wasn’t “Properly mentally prepared to work that shift.”

Kypreos drive me nuts in the first intermission last night with the nonsense he was spouting about the “elbow” that Gunnarson threw.

Yeah, looked a lot more like the Devil throwing his head back to draw a penalty than an elbow

that’s garbage man, I’m sorry, the person who called in sick yesterday is the exact same person you just described but I didn’t get screwed over nearly as badly…although I’m guessing it’ll happen tomorrow.
Saturday nights off are rare dude, that really really blows, I totally feel your pain.

It's a double whammy
Because not only do we never get Saturday nights off, it’s EXTREMELY rare that someone has to be in as early as 11am.
To have to do both is just infuriating.

Ummmm…..let’s give him more than 2 games before ripping his head off.
Columbus: It's amazing how fast the world can go from bad to total shit storm.
Or the Leafs season: either one works
It’s still ridicilious to call out a rookie who has spent all but 2 of his games this year on the 4th line, and who I think must of us are hoping becomes a solid 2nd liner but more than likely an excellent 3rd liner to put up some points. He’s playing center in the NHL for the very first time.

About last night...
…I wanted to talk about this, but the bad news kind of made it seem inappropriate.
Why the hell did Ron Wilson have Kessel, Poni and Bozak out there TWICE with less than 2 minutes left. That line was on when the penalty that led to the winner was drawn, and it was out there when the winner was potted too. Seriously? Our solution to protecting a lead/trying to nurse a tie to overtime is Kessel, who (let’s face it) doesn’t get paid his money to backcheck, a rookie and Poni? I’m not saying they’ve played the lights out this year, but isn’t that the time for our defensive specialists, guys like Wallin, Primeau and Shoestrings to earn their bucks?
I think RW kinda crapped the bed on both line selection and his failure to call a time out. It cost us at least a point.

I didn’t like the selection of D on the ice either. Gunnarson was one of them; I think Kabby might have been the other, at least on the play where Poni took the penalty.
I’d like to hear what Wilson has to say about that. I suppose an argument could be made that it’s better to put young guys like Gunnarson and Bozak in a situation like that now when the consequences of balling it up are non-existent (because we’re out of the playoff race). Still, in terms of the overall team psyche, I think the counter point is that the win was more important.

this is when you do question whether this year was set out as a development year the whole time, or if the intention to compete in the playoffs was both that of the GM and coach. Not that I’m saying that Wilson wants to lose, clearly no coach does, but there have been a number of decisions throughout the season that are questionable, at best.

His late-game management
Leaves a lot to be desired.
I know he doesn’t have a lot to work with, but his selections for guys to play in the 4-on-4 OT periods and (as Jr alluded to) his late in the game lead-protection choices have been questionable to say the least.
I know we don’t exactly have a top notch ‘shut down’ line or even a handfull of skill players to attack in 4-on-4, but he just seems to have a knack for making the exact wrong choice.
Willing to trade humour for cash, straight up.
I wonder if we put a question about this in the PPP mailbag whether James would be able to get a straight answer out of Wilson – just bad choices by him, or part of a developmental plan?

This is true. I’m wondering why we’re seeing so little of Primeau lately. Is something up with him? Or are they trying to convince him to come back next year for less money? At the least, I would expect him and Beauchemin to be out there defending.
Schenn was leaned on to do it last year and did well, and sure Gunnarson has been playing well this year in tough situations, but given the other options on D, I don’t know why they were out there together. Kessel – Bozak – Poni baffles me as well.

if even us ‘stupid fans’ can see that there is something wrong here, he has to see it.

Agreed
Especially with a team so young and full of guys in their first time in a situation like that, it should have been automatic for Wilson to call a timeout to calm them down and explain what they need to be doing, or even just to yell at them and wake them up.
I understand letting the kids sink or swim, but there does need to be SOME coaching done to accelerate the process, especially with such a golden opportunity like last night. With the influx of new talent and all, and the fact that they were hanging with an Eastern Conference contender.
Could have been a real confidence builder
Willing to trade humour for cash, straight up.
If you guys check out the Shift Charts in the game recaps you can see who was on the ice at all times and who they were against.
Sjostrom and Wallin had just been killing a penalty so that’s why they weren’t out there but Wilson should have called a time out.

She is a friend of my wife’s (and she is otherwise a nice girl) but she has a blind spot for the Sens.

“Bryan Murray’s lucky that his team has gone on this ridiculous run”
OMG, Lucky? The fact that this team have beaten Penguins, Blackhawks, Sabres, Rangers, Cannuck, Devils, Boston, Montreal…All teams fighting for playoffs unlike yourselves. Give credit where credit is due, instead of putting your head in a paper bag and dreaming of a playoff run with your hand in your pants.
Is Washingtons also a lucky streak, was your losing streak at the start of the season just unlucky?
I read quite a few SBN blogs to understand what is going on in the NHL from a fans point of view and this is by far the worst one. Your pure blindness to realism driven by jealousy makes your threads almost embarrassing to read.
So glad many of the leaf fans that I talk too have way more common knowledge and sense to understand what the Senators have done (cleared a gap from the teams fighting for 6th, 7th, 8th spot) and it is hard work and a coach that knows how to work with the players and not just give them bag skates when they lose.
On a side note and as a father of two, my family’s prayers go out to Brian Burke I cant imagine the anguish he and his family are going through.
heh
Thanks for dropping by.
Yes, lucky. What do you think is more representative of Elliott’s ability? 8 games of .960 sv% or the 28 games of .893sv% this year? or the 31 games or .902sv% last year? When I talk about luck, I am talking about something that’s a little over your head. What you’ll like be seeing as the senators come back to Earth (you just saw the initial thud) will be regression to the mean.
I read quite a few SBN blogs to understand what is going on in the NHL from a fans point of view and this is by far the worst one. Your pure blindness to realism driven by jealousy makes your threads almost embarrassing to read.
This is high comedy coming from a Senators fan. Don’t come here, completely misunderstand one sentence, hop on your high horse and pretend that you’ve read anything on this site before.
Actually, I can’t stop laughing thinking that you have any clue about realism:
I think Murray in the run up to the play-offs will make a trade for a top six forward (if there is any available) and Kelly will be in the deal going the other way with Lee. That would give us four good lines going into the playoffs.
You actually think that anyone is going to trade for Chris Kelly and Brian Lee and you’re going to get a top six forward? Put aside the fact that you think that Bryan Murray is the one that is going to get it done? Did you just start following the senators this year? Man, oh, man. Thanks for dropping by and cheering me up even more!
