Devils ain't got a prayer

Who: New Jersey Devils (12-12-1; 25pts; 4th in ATL Division) at Toronto Maple Leafs (15-10-2; 32pts; 2nd in NE Division)
What: Game #28 of the Leafs 2011-12 season.
Where: Home sweet Home
When: 7:00pm on SN, MSG
Why: Because Phil Kessel needs some goals, and Brodeur is in net
-The Leafs return home for the second meeting of the season between the Devils and Toronto. The quick turnaround from last night's victory may or may not play a factor. So far this season, the Leafs are 1-2 in back-to-back games.
- The Devils have lost four straight, giving up a combined 17 goals in the process. $100m man Ilya Kovalchuk has only 6 goals and is a -11 so far on the year. Captain Zach Parise, Kovalchuk's linemate, has only 7 goals in an important contract year.
- Martin Brodeur has been worse than Jonas Gustavsson.
-James Reimer, however, is making his first home start since returning from injury. He'll probably score a hat trick tonight.
- Mikhail Grabovski is expected to miss his second straight game due to a family matter. Lines should remain the same from last night.

Wilson will get thrown under the bus for not starting Gus by the media should we not win tonight.

I think St. Reimer has enough stock with the media that this won’t happen. You get thrown under the bus for bucking the conventional wisdom (no matter how dumb that wisdom might be), not for playing it to its stupid conclusions. That’s why football coaches often make such conservative plays – they won’t be blamed for doing what everyone else would have done.
The only thing that would work against him is the perception that you ride the “hot hand”, but when that’s put up against “play your star always and every time no matter how bruised or tired or incapacitated he may be” I think the latter tends to win.
Hope so. But if we were to lose you know that one of the bizillion news outlets that covers the Leafs will bring up why Gus didn’t start.

Somebody said the other day that Schoalts used to be pro-Leafs, but was accused of this and now writes passive-aggressive anti-Leaf stuff. I’ve never seen him write a pro-Leaf article without negative references.
It’s about time for him to write another piece about how rough it is covering a hockey team, and how he hates to travel…blah,blah,blah. He writes one of those at least once a year.

Actually Mirtle was backing up this sentiment the other day here on PPP (not bitching, but admiring Jonas whassname’s work ethic)
I understand that it can be tiresome, but at the end of the day you have a job that many, many people would love to have. Heck, 10% of the populace doesn’t have any job. Writing an article in the G&M whigning and complaining about your job watching pro-hockey for a living is insulting.
Offizielles Mitglied des Müller / Holzer Fan-Clubs. Ich fordere mehr Deutsche in diesem Team ....... wir brauchen Greiss.
Mirtle wasn’t doing that at all. He was admiring Jonas Siegel for being so tireless at his work. (Out with the team at the games until 1 am, waking up at 7 am, travelling to every city, etc).
It also wasn’t a published article, but in a talk here.
About time that people finally realized how awesome Gunnar is...

I’d say about 3-4 years Shoalts was agressively accused of being pro-Leafs. Not sure how much has changed; I haven’t read much of his work recently. I think he used to be the Leafs beat reporter for the Globe. Now Mirtle is that guy. And he gets slagged in the comments section for being pro-Leafs.

yup, the pass was more dangerous than the shot. Besides, knowing Dupuis he would miss the net entirely.
Yeah, probably. Still thought he’d do it though but I’m happy with Steckel icing it either way

by gettingcozywithsarkozy on Dec 6, 2011 2:45 PM EST up reply actions
I still have no idea why he is on this team, other than he can play on the PK. so what? we got a bunch of Marlies that make good PKers and can actually pot one now and then. Dupuis has only looked dangerous when paired with people way more talented than him (see: Grabovski, Mikhael)
So you think we should send him to the Marlies and replace him with someone else who isn’t good except when killing penalties?
Zigomanis can kill penalties and provide a hint of offense – at least pressure the other team. Mueller would make a great 3rd liner, and I think Kadri has been playing well enough to earn a shot. Take your pick, I think our PK won’t suffer too much from a lack of Dupuis. Even if you want to keep Dupuis, get rid of Orr from the roster so we can play a young guy in Rosehill/Orr’s place.
Also his dad was the only one not smiling in the box.

Feel bad for Schenn. In any other game (except for when Dion destroyed Da Costa) his obliteration of Anisimov would be receiving the GIF treatment etc. The fact that Sauer still hasn’t re-entered earth’s orbit robbed Schenn of the spotlight.

Many, many, many people around here wanted him "no matter cost"
Of course I think they thought the cost would be high cap hit not ridiculously long term.
Honestly though its hilarious how people are blaming him for the teams cap problems. His cap hit is totally appropriate and if anything is quite low. The way he is hurting the team is that he is signed until Jagger Grabovski gets drafted.

In Ontario
All the bars get their kegs fresh.
But because Creemore is non-pasteurized or preserved, the moment that stuff hits room temperature, it’s awful.
So Just a word of warning to those outside the Ontario area, I’ve heard mixed things about creemore from people out-of-province
This is SOOO true, it’s even a problem for bars in Ontario that don’t sell enough of it to be changing kegs all the time.

We simply have to win this game, even if its not in November when it matters. They’re a worse team, not doing too well, and their goalie has been terrible. Just keep shooting the puck at the net.
I think this is PURELY because we have a better offensive club than a year ago
@jonasTSN1050: As pointed out in today’s Leaf Report, Leafs have avg’d 3.86 goals per game in Gustavsson starts this year. 2.23 a year ago.

*may spontaneously combust
I’ve been condition by years of goaltending failure to believe implosion is near. It’s kind of weird, the fact we haven’t fallen out of the playoff race yet is still a bit shocking. Not that the analysis didn’t show we’re a pretty good team (bubble team), but I think I’ve become an even worse pessimist through years of staying up late watching the leafs get blown out of the water, losing games we had no business losing. Slowly, I’m coming to be optimistic about the team…and even the goaltending. Moderately optimistic.
Were playing lots of games. Over 1/2 the conference has games on us.
Thankfully the even if the teams behind us win all theyre games they have on us we dont move down a spot. The more worrying stat are the teams ahead of us who have 2-3 games in hand.
Being a Leafs fan makes me bipolar.
A win tonight would put us in 4th in the conference. 3rd if we didnt have the division leader rule.

I think the stats there reflect what I think I have been seeing. Namely, that Gus looks less scrambly in net and better positioned, which is allowing him to make the routine saves.
That’s really been the core of his problem is the scrambliness… we all know he’ll bust out 1-2 ridiculous saves a game, it’s the un-screened wrist shot from the circle that’s been beating him (due to over-sliding)

Geez, used to be complaints about how barren the Leafs’ prospect pantry was… Burke is such an embarrassment.
So, apparently I can now be followed.. but no stalking. @alsonamedphil
yup, but people were impatient. It takes several years to build up depth – your draft picks usually take 2 years to even get to the AHL.
By all accounts, Burke picked smart, traded mostly smart, and signed pretty ok.
The rebuild that should have taken 4+ years took under 3 to turn Toronto from a joke with no assets to a competitive team with options.
If Burke makes a mistake, I’m inclined to forgive
Him, Brad Ross and Greg McKegg, assuming they don't do an overage.
