For a hundred years, back up goalies have been getting skinned on the road...just look at the game in Buffalo tonight...enough said!
Elliott comes back again tomorrow night...he will beat those guys with no equipment!
Alexandre Picard the 3rd star richly deserved!
Philippé has lost his offencive "feel"...even when he has a shot on net he does not look dangerous...go with 4 forwards...give Campy or Picard a shot at the first power play!
Kelly and Ruutu our two best forwards for the third straight game.
Where is our "Big Money" with the exception of Fish the rest of 'em are on Christmas vacation!
What good is out shooting your opponent night after night if you have no top six forwards who can score!
To all our penalty killers...if you are going to screen your goalie you are taking the responsibility to block the shot!
Brodeur may or may not be the best but he's too good for us @ home in Jersey! #1030!
PS: Happy 65th Schreibs! The "Voice" marches on!

Wilson Street...a tough sell!
3 Wins in 4 games, two shut outs, including shutting down the first place Buffalo Sabres in a crutial 4 pointer (game 1 without Jason) and Wilson Street give him the second star?? Boys, this is not Toronto you committed a bad hockey "Faux Pas!"
SENS needing a goal from a DEFENCEMAN "big time" and not only does Pic get the winner but should have got a helper for the second goal...he is the only D-man we have who will go all the way to the net! Wilson Street starts talking fluke...could not even give him an honourable mention...if you hadn't noticed our big money was stymied at the time. Nice game Alex!
Winnie was just OK...timing is everything!
Leave Campy on the 4th line, he is interesting to watch and pretty effective.
Ryan Shannon..."Fear strikes out!"
To Hugo's Pup, you're wearing out old Kuba, but both you guys were good tonight.
I liked Ruutu's game tonight...Alf embellished one but friggin' Roy draws one every game so at least tonight they evened out!
Kelly out worked everyone and deserved to score that goal he was the only one to deke Miller all game.

Gord Wilson = Howie Meeker!
Howie Meeker won the "Calder Trophy" for rookie of the Year in the National Hockey League. He wrote the first "how to" for hockey coaches but what he forgot was that two of his centers, the guys who carried him, were Syl Apps and Teeder Kennedy and this scewed the book.
As time went on his Hockey Night in Canada criticisms of guys he thought were lessor players became so tough and questionable the players had him removed by word of mouth as their union was nowhere at that time!
Now we are not suggesting the removal of anyone...but Gord your criticism of Brian Elliott over the last ten games has been a way over the top and the people on "Wilson Street" have been letting you continue with the exception of Eastie. That BS tonight about deflected shots has got to stop.
It is my opinion that you along with Pierre McGuire and Central Scouting misjudged Brian and you are too obstinate to admit you were wrong. Thus you have been constantly increasing your criticism of Elliott since they brought him up last year!
PS: While I'm at it Yorkie get off the fence...take a side...have an opinion...remember you're the pro...pro!

Thoughts!
1. Rough game for Mr. Elliott...but when the Radio guy, who thinks he's a goal tender, starts to blame deflections on the goalie, it's time for a new Goal Tender Analyst! Wake up and listen to yourself!
2. First goal, Pic if you are going to pinch have a look at who is going to try and cover for you.
3. Our "Own end high" coverage is brutal...especially on the winning goal...#41 just play your position.
4. First time I ever saw Alf just leave a puck for a Tranna guy!
5. Carkner's fightin' screws up the pairings big time! Also seems to draw him down mentally...have a look for that net hanger Kessel!
6. "Big" Nick Foligno was my first star tonight!
7. Philippé is getting worse by the game.

"Transition!"
The secret to beating these up starts is TRANSITION!
Offencive Zone Time has been the Leafs' forté of late but does not mean they are entitled to it!
As GN was saying get on 'em and get the puck out and we should take it a step further and transition cleanly, counter attacking with odd man rushes. Believe it or not, if sucessful this evolves to our Blue Line and their Blue Line and then the Leafs are done because Kaberle and his group cannot defend their own zone!
We all like Aaron Ward but we don't want him...he is the wrong guy at the wrong time...does not fit us right now!
We are going with the speed, energy and mistakes of our young guys...they are coming along better than expected!

Thoughts!
Halak is better than Price.
How do you lose to a team that has 2 goalies and nothing else?
Our Power Play is the only one in the league that does not shoot from the center of the ice on the point shot! Oh for 7!
Stop shooting wide...we are not gifted enough to tip them so we might as well put it on the net...#17.
Philippé is not as gifted offencively as we think...
Phillips is burnt mentally...he is playing too much. We are too fragile...can't seem to come back from any bad break!
45 shots and the same number of scoring chances as Montreal...what gives?
CiCi...8th Too many Men is too many! (your "Honda Racing" mind!)
Volchy likes that shooter too much he can't give him up to the goalie even when it's the correct play!
Believe it or not we need a goal from a DEFENCEMAN!
Elliott was fine...but ya need a French Canadien goal tender to beat the Habs...it psychs them out!
I think we are a coach short...we need a special teams "Specialist"

Hey "Crossbar" this is a "Big" game!
1. This is the "Habs" a big game and once again you are clouding the issue...this is Kovy vs Montreal!! This has nothing to do with what you think or your opinion!
2. Kovy said and I quote: "If"...Eugene is pointing to me!
3. Everyone else talks in generalities, AK was for sure and you go to specifics and you are wrong most of the time!
4.You are wrong about Alexandre Picard.
5. You were wrong about Brian Elliott last season.
6. You are like the old fish wife...when it's goin' good your with us all the way but when it turns bad you attack the defenceless...subject to the current rumour around the team!
7. The reason you are wrong a lot is you are misinformed...watch the games for yourself...have an original thought!
