I'm watching this game with a die hard leafs fan, and would live nothing more than to have the boys stick it to em. Oilers win 4-2. Nuge with huge one in his first game in the centre of the universe
Can anyone give me one good reason that Horcoff is on RNH's left wing over Smyth or Lander? Besides Renney's inexplicable love for Horc that is.
This is why I do not want Renney extended. Terrible coaching.
Horcoff is barely a 3rd liner anymore yet he gets spoonfed minutes to justify his stupid contract. Everyone knows that if it wasn't for his contract, he would probably be on the 3rd line at best. What a waste of RNH's talent.
Leafs have some serious firepower. Dubnyk will have to be sharp to keep this one close.
Toronto has had some great goaltending lately. You're right, Dubnyk will have to step it up. I know that he's faced a lot of shots the last few games, but I personally don't think he's played all that well. He's played good, but not great.
Going to be interesting. I think the game will hinge on how Hall plays.
I'll be a negative Nancy and say that the Toronto defense and goaltending will end up being the difference. 4-1 Toronto
I don't agree with Horcoff on the wing either. Too many times I watched him just throw the puck up the boards right to Detroit D. Play him on 3rd or 4th line center. At this point I think you would move him there, and then move Lander off to the wing, or send him down to OKC. Or not play Horcoff at all, which would be most ideal in my mind.

and to balance the hatred for Horcoff, I'll continue my dislike for Hemsky.
lol.
I'm going to watch and see how many times Hemsky circles back to the blueline tonight and turns over the puck in the process. I bet more plays die tonight on Hemskys stick than on Horcoffs.
Here's one...In case RNH gets waived out of the faceoff circle.
That's not a good one. Smyth can take faceoffs too and as bad as Smyth has been (although, he has played better in the last couple of games), he's a much better option than Horcoff in that spot.
Horcoff sucks at center but he's even worse on the wing and i would rather him be worse on the 3rd line than on the 2nd line playing 20+ minutes a night.
He doesn't even play solid defense anymore so what's the point?
