Toronto Maple Leafs 2013/14 Season
- Thread starter Ironhead
- Start date
Very difficult for any team in any sport (too few games for NFL teams) to not go through at least a bit of rough spell over the course of a season. Just the nature of things.
Riemer did make a great save with the right pad, but there was a rebound and Kopitar shot it high missing the wide open net, and puck the goes around the boards to JVR and off with Raymond on the 2 on 1 and he shots he scores!
Holy shit, can you believe it. Even today looking at the highlights, hard to believe.

At this point after beating 2 of the California big 3 and despite the myriad of flaws the team has (as many here have pointed out), I think it's safe to say we have a respectable, competitive team.
They've played a lot of stinkers but they can also beat the leagues best.
Once a team gets to the playoffs, strange things can happen.

Yes, and wait until Bollard and Clarkson come back from IR. What? Clarkson is not on IR?
The 'Buds can definitely punch their ticket - I wonder who we'll get in the first round ? Would love to beat the Senaturds again, but they suck this year and won't make it. Montreal maybe, and their poutine nation fans.
When the system fucks up against which ever team you root for your opinion may change.I loved it
Exchange Montreal for Toronto and I would be happy the Leafs won, got a break, but overall I would be disappointed with the NHL officiating.
Damn !
If only they woke up a little earlier in this game. They may have got at least a point.
Lupul has gone cold.
I do not blame Reimer for any of the goals.
PK ... even so, should not be that open in front of the Leaf net.
Someone else 'said' it first, Bolland may be done for season.
Ottawa's Karlson still does not look right.
He is not the player he was before the injury.

Leafs had a real opportunity to make this their most successful road trip of the season. Now they're 2 and 2.
Doesn't matter how low the opposition is in the standings, got to be ready to play when the puck drops.
They left some valuable points on the table here.

Actually I've seen every Sens game this year ( painful I know) and from what I see he really started to look like his old self right around Christmas.
He has the explosiveness back in his first few strides which he didn't have when he first came back.
The Sens on the other hand well they are just God awful in their own end. There will be no playoffs this year I'm afraid.

To me he just does not look 100% back. Maybe lacking a bit of the confidence he had, and/or the swagger.
As he is he is still a very good defenseman.
I cannot quite put my finger on it, he just looks a little off of what he was before.
Ga-damn if you told me before this road trip that the Leafs would only win two of the five games I may have guessed one California win and Detroit, more likely they salvaged the last two games after going 0 for California.
Leafs have zero depression in them.
Kadri has finally put together a few good games, but Lupul is cold and Clarkson has yet to arrive from New Jersey.
On another note the PP, I would try Kessel, JVR, Clarkson, Bozak and Phaneuf(I would go with Rielly if I could run things for a few games). Bozak takes the faceoff then drops back to the blueline, Clarkson goes and stands in front of the net. Kessel and JVR do their thing. One of the three forwards should be open for a good quality scoring chance at some point over the two minutes.
