Recap: Leafs Vs. Rags

I think it would be safe to say that most Toronto Maple Leafs fans were expecting that, if the Leafs were going to win this one, it would be despite a serious imbalance in goaltending. They wouldn't be wrong, but they'd probably be surprised that Henrik Lundqvist turned in the more disappointing performance.
Sure, Jonas Gustavsson let in a softie to open the scoring, and the Rangers' second goal didn't look fantastic either (yes, it was tipped, but from a long ways out), but Gustavsson was good enough to out-duel King Henrik tonight, and we should all be thankful that the Leafs came away with an important two points.
If you just thought 'every two points holds equal value, JP', you wouldn't be entirely wrong, but technically, these points matter more, since in it puts the Leafs ahead in a season series between these two teams that could, eventually, mean the difference between eighth and ninth place.
I'm all for baby steps this year, and if our first baby step was not falling to pieces immediately after a four-game hot streak, then so be it. As I mentioned earlier this morning, the second will be to finish October with a playoff record. Given that the Ottawa Senators are one of our remaining opponents, it shouldn't be hard to pick up an extra point or two.
But let's get back to the game:
Mike Brown looked like Alexander Ovechkin as he absolutely sniped a goal through the legs of a Rangers defender. He broke up a Rangers breakout nicely on the play as well, intercepting a pass attempt in the neutral zone.
Carl Gunnarsson had a strong game, breaking up several scoring chances late in the game. Solid defensive coverage, and good positioning made up for a lack of speed when matched against a few of New York's speedier forwards.
Tim Connolly had a quiet night back, but I'll take that as a good sign. There were no serious defensive lapses, and although he didn't get an assist on the Lupul goal, he should get some credit, since he was the one creating all the havoc in front of Lundqvist. Going 6 for 16 on the draw isn't great, but he's not known as a faceoff guy, anyway.
Phil Kessel only had a point, but looked dangerous all night. He had two breakaways and several other good chances. Solid game from Phil. He could easily have had more than one assist on the night. Oh well, the point streak continues!
Who else stood out to you?

Raycroft! I like the move. Falls inline with the push for youth and is a solution for the future. Trading Rask was unfortunate, but with Pogge and Raycroft only being 26, I think the TO goaltending future is a bright one. - Some guy from 2006

Yeah, I can agree with that. They are incredibly awkward, especially because the other person ALWAYS grabs a hold of at least one of your hands

The two handed high five is something that only couples should do. Followed immediately by sex.

there’s a guy at work who insists on doing the quasi-high five where it’s like you’re locking hands to arm wrestle. we miss every time.
I had something really clever to say here. But I forgot.
The “miss on purpose” high five is one of the best high fives. Often shared between friends who don’t take themselves too seriously.

but Gustavsson was good enough to out-duel King Henrik tonight, and we should all be thankful that the Leafs came away with an important two points.

Letting in one softie, and, arguably, another half-softy, is not a stellar outing. He played well enough, and for that I’m happy.

But anyway by the 3rd I felt totally calm about Gus. He looked way more in control than he usually does. his movements were lessened and the 2nd goal was actually my fault, seriously.

He had a good third. No doubt. That Richards shot with under two minutes to go was big. He wavered, but never let the puck out from under his pad. That was a trickier balancing act than it looked like on camera, for sure.

He made enough saves to win the game, and played pretty well on the whole. I genuinely hope he does well, but his stats are not good and he’s looked weak a lot of nights. He’s a long shot to ever be a good NHL goalie. I’d love to be wrong about that, but I’m just being realistic.

actual commentary from tonight's game
“Rangers in 3 on 2…. Komisarek breaks up the play neatly”
I thought I was having a stroke.
I had something really clever to say here. But I forgot.
The 2nd goal
cannot be called a “softy” or even a “half-softy.”
Sorry. No can do.
Praise be upon Gustavsson. He played his broken little Swedish heart out tonight, and kept the game at 1-0 until the Leafs fucking realized they were playing at all. Those saves he made on the PK in the first, especially that glove number, were amazing.
Even more impressive: He barely had any action in the 2nd and 3rd periods. And that’s when I thought Gustavsson would be at his worst, when he isn’t busy, when he’s got time to just stand back there and think. But he kept his focus, was there when needed, and made sure the Leafs got two points, and he beat his fucking idol in the process.
PRAISE MONSTER.

Thought so. The day that people seriously believe that a marketed rivalry is the best in hockey will be a sad day. Leafs/Habs is the best because it was built on xenophobia. That’s a kickass reason to have a sporting rivalry. BTW how does it feel to be a media pawn :P

It’s hard to remember, but given enough time and space, pretty much anyone in the NHL can pull off a good shot or dangle. That said, it doesn’t mean I expect anyone to beat Lundqvist, but hey – if Orr can score a breakaway goal on Brodeur, anything can happen.

Komisarek
Had a surprisingly good game. He made a strong derensive play to set up MacArthur’s goal and played defensively sound all night.
Yea I liked the play of pretty much every leaf after the 1st period. We just need to start AND end games.

I only saw the 2nd and 3rd and he was very steady. He has had an up and down season so far. I’d love to see him play a consistent/steady defensive game along side Liles or Gardiner.

Raycroft! I like the move. Falls inline with the push for youth and is a solution for the future. Trading Rask was unfortunate, but with Pogge and Raycroft only being 26, I think the TO goaltending future is a bright one. - Some guy from 2006

Huge Cards Fan Since 1967
But have NEVER seen anything like this.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Pujols ends up pitching, picks up the win.

’67. Leafs, Packers & Cards. A very good year.

Packers and Cards have given me some joy… but man, hockey, my #1 love, bleeding Blue and White for 40+ years… surrounded by Habs fans in the 70’s and Oilers fans in the 80’s and Crosby fans since….
Anyway. THIS YEAR. THE CUP!

Horton and Baun and Armstrong and Keon and those guys were amazing. Never the most talented players, never. But then, as a team, they’d come together, they worked like crazy, and… CUP.

that’s a lot of bloodloss. You’ve seen some great players come through though. But then again you had to watch the entire 80’s. I came to Canada in 89 and only had to watch 2 years of utter futility. That is until the modern era.

I tell you, as a kid, that 70’s team they were building, with Salming, Turnbull, Sittler, McDonald, that was incredible. People talk Kaberle, but really, he wasn’t in Salming’s league. Turnbull – a 5 goal game. Sittler – a 10 point night. And then… there was Ballard.
It’s beyond explaining what it was like, as a kid, to lose that team.

Yeah I know the stories all to well. What that scum did to Lanny and Sittler was beyond dispicable. But then I came to Canada and Ballard died – you’re welcome :)

Salming. Imagine having a Lidstrom. Only tougher. More attitude. Lanny was like Kessel, only with Browns tache. Turnbull was what we all dream Gardiner will be. Coast to coast. And Sittler was 100 points and a huge smile.

STL pisses me off for no real reason. And Nolan Ryan was one of those great players that never got a campionship, but they are boned. Also completely unrelated to the loss, but I hate national league rules, they are so dumb.

That's gotta be the worst World Series loss ever
Worse than Game 6 in ’86. I honestly believe that.
Overtime loss: The new black.

I’m not cheering for the Rangers. As a neutral observer, I really think that’s the most devastating loss I’ve ever seen. 2-run leads in the 9th AND 10th? Down to the final strike both times? No world championships since the last time the Canucks won the Cup?
Egads.
