Congrats to Bertuzi even though that name is still a little sour in Denver on his birthday he got his 100th goal along with a hatty, that's pretty amazing. Like i said both teams battled hard and the leafs deserved it burring that last one late in the third off of that dumb ass penalty.

[@OhCritic]

bertuzzi - domi - nylander, what a line. really like tavares down on the third line. who cares how much he makes, he's on the team and if playing against easier matchups a lot of nights means he's going to continue to look strong, along with mcmann and robertson keep him there. i'm BEGGING treliving gets us someone like rasmus andersson to play with rielly. you can't split up mccabe-benoit or brodie-liljegren and lagesson absolutely CANNOT be the #2 dman. lagesson has been good, the role he plays you don't want to stand out. the less your name is said in the braodcast is arguably better, however he's a bottom pair/7th d-man on any other contending team.

[@gailaspinall1688]

Here's something I failed to understand. Just as the last seconds of the game, Tavares got hold of the puck & raced down toward the Avalache's empty net. Why on earth did he not shoot the puck. The net was wide-open..oh but he just had to make an attempt to pass the puck back. The one thing I don't like about Tavares is he's always trying to give off the impression he's making a fancy move. Always doing the extra puck-handling, etc.
