Well, the hottest player ever in one game is going to celebrate an anniversary tomorrow. Daryl Sitler’s 10-point night. February 7th, 1976. It’s an offside coming here at the Toronto Blue Line. The Oilers on a goal by Ever at the Toronto Blue Line. The Islanders on a goal by Ever one big lead over here last five games and they really start off very well this hockey game. Rhymer’s had all kinds of traffic in front of us. There’s a terrific bad save on Jones moments ago and the Oilers have had two or three more quality chances and of course they’re already up one- nothing and they outshot the Maple Leafs 7-2 already. [Music] The only goal ever from Gany and Hall 21 seconds in this game and the ball knocked down into the Toronto zone and Carl Gunnerson reverses the ball for the boards for Clark. He is unable to handle it. Kleman got it towards the line but not out. Now does and it’s MacArthur at center playing it in over the line for Glosski. Kman to the front of the net. Only conting. [Applause] from the leaf game so far. The transition with speed so far tonight and here it comes and I think could get right across the net for the first chance but certainly gets there on the ground by the way for him. This is a dead wide [Music] Hopkins saved out of the face off in there on the side. Smith [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Music] 51 [Applause] are teaming up with the key and the turtle [Applause] hard right here in the neutral zone. The turn is right here in the neutral zone and that’s what creates the problem here and then a big rebound and then another turnover this time by Potter and then one touch pass by afterwards. There’s a big rebound. There’s the second turn pass again before this game. Brother [Applause] [Applause] And you can see financial advice for something [Applause] of the least here is to get right after oil. They have some terrific young forwards. Their defense is still a work in progress and you just saw what can happen when you get right after an old defensive race giveaways with a big goal here in this period to tie the game up. Macarthur and Koski, they’ve had 18 points in the last six games. So when Kessle and Lup [Applause] 64 and Kessle and Lup cool off, Kleman and MacArthur caught fire. And doing it at home is something that they’re not used to doing. They have great numbers on the road, but MacArthur just getting his fourth goal on whole ice here of the 17. He scored [Music] with a great block save there. [Music] tying the game at ones with his 17th from Oski and Kess drawing assist as the change of players shot and from sitting on the seat of his pants finally gets it out of center off the distance goes around on the boards and comes to the line of Cody Franc ice for Lions into the slot area for Crably working back of the being grabbed on there by speed. Cycles it back behind the goal and Kylie is in pursuit. Here’s cutting it off against the boards. It is who can’t get away. Now knocks it down and the shot save made there by goodness. The slot is broken up and play right. Miles chases it down by defy and brought down into the Toronto zone. [Applause] loses it. Stack gets it out into the same race. Has had a couple hiccups here in the first 10 minutes. Typical first period for sure. Back in the wrong zone ahead and center. There’s Alensky in all there. Couldn’t get around having a deflected line. Stuckle gets it to the ground and finds Armstrong. Armstrong trying to weave around the defense. trying to get around Cam Parker once more into the corner now for Stuckco in front of the net was off the bench. off the hill looking down the hill fast. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] It is someone time and these two combined have been absolutely unbelievable to carper ever since. And here’s a sample of those of the Bulls the last couple of weeks. And there’s the time to tie this thing up with 33 goals in the first period. On the road, Mikuel Grabosski is plus 13, third best in the National Hockey League. And Clark MacArthur is fourth and plus 11 at home. They instructs a real problem for the opposition. Most teams have just one shut down shut down the line or vice on the boards and loos going to get there ahead of speed in front and getting the shot away with Bojack went around back to the net. Hustles into the corner with it. Looks to cycle up. Gets it back to the point of L. Back to Lo and he had it stripped away there by Ryan Jones. Jones gets it out. Miles sp it right back into the crowd and the orers with 750 to go in the first period. Organizing around the goal line and Jones will leave it there as he peels to the bench. Both teams changing. It’s cooked into the Oiler bench. Play will be whistled down and there’ll be a face off back in ter this morning a little bit about this quick release that he has. He does such a nice job getting cut through. His father worked at the rink in Sycamoots, his hometown. He used to go in the ring all the time and told me that it was my dad’s favorite shot. So, he taught me early to snap the puck towards Smith as many times I could as a youngster. And then he said once he got the junior, he started then change the angle and worked very hard at making sure pucks got through. So again, you talk to these athletes and so often they work at their skills and that’s why they’re good at it. A centering pass by Connley. Went off the side of the goal. Swept back there by Lombardi and now brought out by Hall. Hall with some speed through the neutral zone trying to get around. Got a shot away, but it’s going to be deflected up into the screen and out of play. [Applause] They were all just such a terrific year once again. Yeah, he’s had some injuries as well. Only four points short the last season’s production. He attended the Heritage Classic back in 2003 as an 8-year-old. I said, “What do you remember?” He said it was cold and everybody was drinking beer. He couldn’t understand including him. I don’t think so. Rosen pass there by Stuckle and off the skate into the corner goes Armstrong Steckle down there. going to have a little trouble doing anything here without his stick as he lost it in the play and comes around on the boards and now Stephen be able to pick up that queue on the way out. Pass on the right wing for Hensky pass into the slot. The shot goes high over top of the goal. Hensky around back of the net [Applause] Hopkins up there at the center ice position with them. have got some great young stars on the forward line, but as you mentioned, Melty, it’s defense that they’re going to have to concentrate on here in the next little while. They’re going to make the next steps swinging up and it’s like Dr. Jungle and Mr. High as far away with great speed rounds back of the net center. It’s like Dr. they’re going to have to concentrate on here in the next little while. They’re going to make the next steps swinging up. It’s like Dr. Jungle and Mr. Hindoski swinging up. It’s like Dr. Jungle and Mr. Around everybody and then here comes the delay and he finds Burger who is around everybody including Ken Ber and that sets up the we talked about in our last year. pass it and escapes front of the net and the leaf unable to get it has it and escapes again right off and that was knocked away there by runner leaves carried back it centering it over the line for unable to get to it but gets a piece of his hand unable to get to it as well and now we have a broken piece of glass over there stansion has come apart. We’ll fix it while you’re gone. He’s going to be right behind Melvin Kowski here. And watch what he does. Bad change by Ryan Smith. Gardner sees it and now he delays it a little bit and then arrives right at the right time and sneaks in and nobody picks him up. It’s actually a five on four situation as the Oilers get caught. A bad change and he just sneaks in. There’s the pass. Not a great shot. really not hard but well placed to get the Leafs a 21 lead. What a first year this kid has had. He’s averaging only 20 minutes a game. Round two. And there are his numbers for nine now. He’s quietly snuck up in that area also. The season guys just you know week this Thursday will be the one-year anniversary of his acquisition alongside that of John Free. Looked for pretty good deals. It turned out back in the wrong zone. Two-1 in favor of Toronto. After Everly’s goal 21 seconds in, MacArthur’s Gardner has scored for the Leafs. After Everly’s goal, 21 seconds in, MacArthur Gardner has scored for the Le side. Play back out by the Bulls. Three goals on the left hand side down into the Toronto zone. corner goes after [Music] passing catching up on the run gets it in the line along the along alley pass to center it up [Music] heads to the red line change is coming as a long shooting Ryan cage back into the corner for Ryan Whitney and he gets it up on the wing and the owners trying to move it out. Pass with Hopkins. His pass ahead for Smith. Didn’t work on the board. Whi into the rush. Gardner has taken the lane. Finds Luke Shen Shen with a long back hand and bounds pass the defense down into the Oilers. Back left it up out of the ring and Smith pass partially blocked but carried on by Nan Hopkins and across the line. Brought pass goes to the side of the goal and Francis took it away there and sends it ahead at center. Here’s a chance for Marty and down the slide. versus the loose come on the second half of this is that it’s offside area right Seymour of Stevensville who’s 70 early Worester who works in the front office with the Leafs his daughter and Mary Troy 102 years young in Atobico watching the game tonight big leaf of Sunund Dean and Gilmore and Clark congratulations Here are the Oilers back in across the line. Horov with a shot and that was knocked down by Ray with a rebound back to the net. Horov tied up there by Lup coming out sends it back with a chance in front and the shot by Hov was 5T in front of the goal. White. Yeah, nice send it further away. Back in the wrong zone and Paul starts down the left wing. Paul working against Sh into the slot. Nice pass over get back in the wrong zone and Paul starts down the left wing. Paul’s back in the wrong zone and Paul starts down the left wing. Paul working again. 10 stops coming into the wall and a highly skilled you can see up front. Greg, you mentioned Taylor Hall’s strength lower body. His dad’s a former national box. The assist do to you if no mistake to tie this game up. You can see what the Oilers can do to you if you give them time and space. MacArthur tire and the point kept in there by a center pass. Where’s the P? It’s in the net. on the official. Ryan Smith has made a career of being in goal creases and is a bit of a marked man in the National Hockey League because of it. And this goal will not count as the official immediately waves it off. And here goes Smith where he always goes, right in front of the net. Boy, oh boy. sitting there and he knocked it in the net. There’s no 36 to play in the period. over the net. 136 play off the leg and center off there. Gardner laid into the blue line area had to get back on side to keep the play alive high and it’s back out into the center ice area for pass intercepted by the center and he’ll backhand it down into the end of the zone and 12 to go in the period now here is left wing pass for Hall and his feet in front of the net which was a pass was kicked away by Everly now has a goal in all three career games he’s played against Toronto as a deflection there had to be watched carefully by Dumnick here. The lease again in front of the shot with the save again another try by Lombardi laid around back of the net. Grab unable to get to it. Everly knocks it down and Everly striding out at center with Jeff Petri into the rush with him into the court trying to work around back to the net. cycles the punt now here the Oilers with it again back to the blue line it comes a long shot and seeing that all the way now but I mean what a play terrific again this year for Edmonton since coming back I mean what a season he has had his 16 goals and 36 points along the board he’s trying to get it out local does snaps it ahead and castle with speed down the right wing trying to turn the fence A good play made by Cory Potter to get back there. He’s keeping [Music] empty. Not enough time to do the damage. Targetly with a big first to go to the boys. Three rolls. Time to go. Great sport of hockey and shake shell season all with Ed. [Music] [Music] Well, it was a bit of a track meet in that first period. Two goals a piece. Everly has both Edmonton MacArthur and Gardner scoring for Toronto and Mikuel Gravski with a couple of assists on the Toronto goal. Well, it started very early as the Edmonton runners got on the board as Taylor Hall threw it towards the net and every end up with the goal is going to fade away and the loose used their speed. We’ve seen this combination with Kosovski and then Kosovski again this time sneaking into the point and then Everly again at the very end of the period to tie the game up at two. Chunks favor Edmonton 15-1 in the first period. And after the slow start by Babosski, boy has he caught fire. 44 shots, 24 points. 18 goals and 21 assists now. 39 points and uh in a contract here too and 28 scouts here tonight and general managers in attendance. Lots of them around. I’ll tell you there’s a school day game in Hamilton tomorrow, one in Toronto on Wednesday. So this is a triple header for all these guys. Scott Morrison. Here’s a chance for Koulan and a long shot is deflected line by Dudnik on the boards. Kman couldn’t get to it and Hall starts away on the left wing side. Hall trying to get around. A bouncing shot, but one hops up into the glove of Rhymer and he’s going to hold on for a faceoff coming in the Toronto zone to the left. Now, both goalies, I’m sure enough pleased and two goals got behind them, but both goalies also had to make some huge saves as you mentioned, Joe, a track meet in the first period, and both teams gave the puck away a little too much, but I’m sure the coaches would have liked. Bill Kessle recorded his 300th career line of the Toronto Gold. Centering effort didn’t get there. And the left wing side ball trying to get around a bouncing shot, but one hops up into the glove. Rimer and he’s going to hold on. For the National Predators tonight, the four games they’ve played so far this year, they’ve allowed 31 or more shots again. So, they’ll have to limit shots against against they kind of dial that range in the quick reload. Good transition of Nashville is where they capitalize on teams. The pucks are turned over. 300th career point of the assist goal in the first get speed shot the flex line of the Toronto gold centering effort didn’t get there into the glove of Rhymer and he’s going to hold on for coming [Music] along [Music] But I’m sure Bill Kessle recorded his 300th career point on the assist of Clark MacArthur. His goal in the first period. Speed shot the flex line to the Toronto by Jones. He’s a primer it around back of the net and Branson with an outlet pass for Lup trying to go wide on the defense. Took a pretty good hit there from Latislav. It goes back in or excuse me by Jeff Petri who stood him up and now Petri gets it up on the left wing side and Horov is away. Petri’s been jumping into the rush repeatedly had a great pass to the goal earlier and now Lupal with it now launching it out at center. Here’s a chance for Kessle along with Bozac. Kessle back to Bozac and unable to get the shot away Hopkins got away with a bit of a hook there but he made a great play nonetheless. Shen back of the net. Wrapped around attempt by Lo. Rebound at the go line and Shen unable to keep it in against it deflecting by into the far corner. It is taking a pass. Sends it back into the corner. Back of the net now for Conley. And Conley Lombardi took his time. Vardy the pass sends it back into the corner. down scores [Applause] chase here to start this off two little triple chase here [Music] [Music] chase The street here [Music] sneaks in behind behind his hand. This is just a great class. However, transition everybody on the ice except as he doesn’t two. This is just a great pass. Can’t pick him up. Everyone finally good. Conley into the shot by grabbed able to muscle it back into the reverse. Don Gilbert gets it out to the line by Ben. shoot in that Rymer has a little difficulty with but presses it up against his body to hold. Now Dnick here on this last play little bit of a mix up for this defense behind the net and that’s what starts it off as Dubnick there tracks the puck and then just can’t get a handle on it and that slow the puck down enough for Matthew Lombardi to get possession circle high get the puck back and then dish it off to Kessle. Here’s a chance at the float line and a shot is blocked there by Mike Brown and he presses in a little deeper. Tom Gilbert gets it up to line up and shooting. Rhymer has a little difficulty against his body to hold here on this last New York Rangers organization. Likes and being a little bit older, 27 years of age, he has that veteran presence out there and came in prepared to make this team. to hold. He’s here at the start of the year and he has the ability to really take that big shot. First time we get to see Ben eager in a regular season game there. Here’s a chance for Armstrong again. Toby Armstrong back to the net for Mike Brown. Brown hustles into the corner after the loose puck. Brown thought about cycling it back for Armstrong, but it was gobbled up there and Hall gets it out and Brown shoots it right back in again. Pretty good shift there from Mike Brown. It was a tough play for goalies cuz sometimes a puck will skate away from you behind the net and your entire team is expecting the goal to stop the puck and when he doesn’t it normally means that the opposition is going to get tough possession behind the net like the loose did. Everly unable to come up with the puck on the shoot in Kman gets it freed up and here’s Carl Gunnerson in overlay around the near side. is there again knocked off his stick for top gets it out plays it over the line off the block of Cody Branson and Branson takes it around back to the net up the middle couldn’t handle and pull back down into the Toronto zone and Lions will play it ahead and apparently touched that I don’t think he did but linesman says he did he was right Steve side brought on by pulls up in the line. A shot though that was deflected into the corner by Ryder. Let’s get clear back into the territory here again. brought on by speed on by pulls up at the line. What a shot on by knows came back February the second and this early defense broken down a little bit probably Smith back to the goal line. Smith loses it. Len Hopkins was offended. P comes back to the blue line to Smith. Speed tried to get it in front but couldn’t and now is backhanded by N Hopkins back into the corner. Ryan Smith gets it out in front. Give away in front of the goal. Shot defective line of the net in front of the leaf net. [Applause] I would hate to be counting the giveaways in this game. High. Here’s a line for Every and the hattick goal just was in his reach in the shot line. How good is everyone? Kessle back the other way. Kessle steers it into the corner. Connley couldn’t come up with it. Tom Gilbert will get it up on the wing. And now here is a pass up on the left wing side. Knocked down. His father Dave is in attendance tonight up here in the press box. He was on the ice for a while earlier. I told him he was on the left wing sideline with speed and he is offended in the corner. No penalty there either. Thanks for that. And over the line for Hall chased by Carl Gunnerson Center in front and it’s back onto the stick of Lombardi who was slow to get back into the zone. Here’s Lombardi back in the other way. Takes Paul to the corner from the side. Pushed ahead then by Ryan Jones but not up. Ryan Whitney dropping it back. A long lead pass that has gone astray. This will no icing near up on the wing to center. Armstrong can’t come up with it. There they are. Oh, went off the stick. Ryan almost deflected out in front of the goal. Offside. I like it. The refs are letting them go. Why not? Highly entertaining. Tim now finds Bliss. 42 Toronto hand going to Mike Brown here. So, a couple of big blocks when the score was still 3-2. And there’s another one. And then he gets the puck out. Patter get the puck out. What does he do? Goes right to the net. And this fourth line for the Maple Leafs have been able to come up with some big minutes for the coach the last couple of weeks. Well, in a checking role late in periods and instead of a liability, they’re being assigned some very important minutes. in a defensive role and many times checking the other team’s better line. So with 50 games coming up in 31 days, at least we’re going to need everybody. We got a lot of hockey on the next little while. Ron Hay steers it down into the Toronto zone, including both goals. If anybody wants to start the goalie controversy, there isn’t one. They both are going to have to play and they’re both going to be needed an extra while this off the boards on the left wing for Hall with a pass ahead to the line and in Everly moving to the middle of the ice and then shot off the stick got a piece of it banks it ahead Jordan Everly has never had a hattick in the national hockey he’s had about four chances to get one here in the second period Kessle down the board center with a pull up and that was stopped. He gets a bonus try pass in front looking for Kessle. Didn’t work. Pass off the boards for Kessle and by Franc Hall intercepts that Hopkins getting it ahead at center for speed. He’ll play around back to the Toronto goal and moves it and escapes finding it there to get it around the wing but it’s cut off by speed. Speed down into the corner. Kessle chasing him. Speed still with it to cycle the puck. Flips it back to the net. Cut off by L, but Smith has it again. Back to the blue line it goes. Long shot is whistled wide to the net by Petri. And Rymer never moved. Petri with it again. Pass in front. Doubled up. caught out in center. Branson looks for a pass on the wing to L. Lup cuts in and the shot is deflected off the glass. Bringing it back the other way. Smith with a shot. These two teams will meet a week’s time out in Edmonton. Castle launches a bouncing shot in 114 to go. Second period 42 snap down into the zone two against the board. Lombardi can’t get to it. Getting it back to the point. Long shot taken there by Parker is blocked. It goes into the corner. They bang away in there with Ben Eager trying to come out with it and Chen trying to outfight Eager for the disc as they played high to set a ice over the outstretched hand of Parker but it’s going to be right on goal. Dnick leaving it there up on the left wing for eager rolling it in on goal and it was just off the mark. Jones shedding the stick of Carl Gunnerson that may have been hooked on to him. Here’s Dunderson across the line for Brown and his shot went by Armstrong back towards far side down back to the net for Stuckle. Stuckle going to center and the paddle down the way knocked out that away laid out at center ice regen banking it ahead for Armstrong. Armstrong back to Brown. Brown coming through the neutral zone was upended and the puck goes back down into the Toronto end. Cody Francon around back to the net. Jim the brakes on. Got it up on the wing for Armstrong. Now to Brown. Brown slides by one and hustles into the corner. Three or change on the go. Speed around back of the net and it’s cleared out into the center ice area on the left wing for Hall. Hall with a sharp angle try and as it rolled into the goal, it was smothered by Rhymer before it was poked out of his glove. 42 leads midway through the second tonight. Daryl Sitler’s 10-point night against the Austin Bruins and Dave Reese. There is no other recorded evidence of that game other than the one copy of the game that Daryl Sitler actually owns of the full game. And uh Daryl has the only copy of the uh the broadcast of that full game. Dave Reese burnt his copy. Yes, he did. Face off to the right. 10 points in one night. We were down here with a group from Subbury courtesy Inko watching that game and it was really something. Into the corner it goes back in the net for Gravoski. Lade ahead for Koulan. Kman unable to get it out. The centering pass knocked off a skate and Parker. Carter is away. It’s a threeon two rush for Carter looking for Gowski going. Oh, he fell on. He had another glorious chance there. A pass in forki. Doesn’t work. makes contact with that. He had that whole side of the net. He’s trying to change. Halls skates through center, hits the line, wrist shot, and Rhymer finds that after it struck him and holds for a face off and the draw coming to the left. Watch this great bit of passing with a little bit too fancy a move there. Creates a threeon two against the line. You don’t want to do it against the hot line on this hockey club finishes that off and another pretty passing passing play on the threeon two rush. Draw one by Toronto and Cody Franson snaps it up to Kessle and his pass was under the reach of Lup. Speed back in his own. The Oilers are as healthy as they have been all season long. and that for the Naples. We’ll have Daryl Boyce still in the infirmary, but that’s it. Rose Hill and Thomas are healthy scratches. Brought in on the right side now by Bozac and a centering pass. No one there trying to keep it in along that left wing. Gorge loses it. It comes to center ice. Miles gets it back to Bullard with a shot and that the top of the net trying to go from behind the goal have it knocked away. Speed will play it up on the left hand side for Smith. Lion Smith the veteran in the line for the Oilers trying to get around Luke Shen but failing off the boards. Dotted up there by Barker. Barker a sharp angle shot off the leg wide. Far side maintained by Jeff Petri. Petri trying to make a turn. Gets it back into the slot. Gilbert shot is high and wide that kept alive and sent in then by Anton Lander. And a whistle here as it will come outside the blue line. [Applause] Pro Hockey Life. The ultimate hockey mega store. And look for Arthur again. This year he had such a slow start. You wondered if he was going to be able to duplicate last year’s season, but well on his way now having a terrific second half. And then around on the boards ahead it goes to Joey Crab on to Conley. He couldn’t get around Lander and it banged off the boards. It’s a delayed offside. He was in there going to turn into an icing anyway. So, it’ll be brought back into the Oiler zone. Ron Wilson was a little upset with his crew in the first period. They’ve settled down a little bit in the second. And Bulls have not been an issue for his team this year. Defending was an issue earlier in the year, but you have to be impressed the way the Leafs have tidied up their own end. They close gaps between forwards and defense much better. And of course the whistle without saying the penalty killing has been huge ever since the start of the year. 14 games without giving up a goal on the power play and they are battling the likes of Gordy Sils McNowski McDonald and Turka. because the 194041 team went 15 games without giving up the power play goal as uh Happy Day was running the operation with that Toronto team. And here is a look at what’s gone on as far as the lead penalty killing is concerned. They have launched themselves all the way to 29th place as far as the overall long way to go after the start they had. Yeah, they’re coming from a long way back. Oh yeah, way back. This is Seab Biscuit in the stretch. Long shot score. Long way to go after the start. They This is Seab Biscuit in the stretch. Long shot. Yeah. Oh yeah. Way back. This is Seab Biscuit in the stretch. Long shots go 11. [Applause] And it might be Hoff who gets the goal. It might be Petri with the shot. It’s 43 right off the face. Petri with the shot. It’s 43 right off the face off. A scrambled draw here. Gets back. Actually a clean draw. First point goes right around and I think that might have just gone straight in from the point. I’m not sure. If it is, it is Petri’s second goal of the season. Smith and the scoring fest continues. It is 43. Yeah. And the play L was on the board. He may have arrived a little bit late as the puck is ried around the boards by Branson and Lup that allows him to go to the point to score from the point. Everly sends it down into the Toronto zone. with 21 shots, lease with 17 pass ahead and here’s Rowski back in thinking let it go and was not fooled by the quick move and was able to take it on the cho and there’s now talking to the defense right now about this very point that throws it around and a right-handed shot which makes it a lot more to the he’s got to either get his body or stick on it now with this very sorry it around and L’s a right-handed shot which makes it a lot tougher for him to trap the puck he’s got to either get his body or sticker on that play that’s a tough play for L because he did not have a lot of time to get there being on the off side second period takes his time a little bit takes something off the puck have another chance of getting the out with 611 to go in the second period Miles takes his time a little bit, takes something off the clock. Another chance in Miles takes his time a little bit, takes something off the losing Smith from the back of the shot by Rhymer. They’re going to give this to Horov. So maybe he did touch him. At any rate, it’s a onegoal hockey game again. [Music] We don’t think he touched it. Not sure he did either. And here’s the L’s play up the boards. Here’s the shot. Horov right there. Puts his blade out. We don’t think he touched it. And then on the bench, he’s saying I don’t think I touched it. Nope. I think I don’t think so. I think that’s your goal, kid. Captain saying not mine. 21 shots for 17. [Music] There’s Liverpool now talking to the defense right now about this very play. Sorry, it’s Michael LS that throws it around. And Liverpool’s a right-handed shot, which makes it a lot tougher for him to trap the puck. He’s got to either get his body or sticker on that play. It’s a tough play for Liverpool with because he did not have a lot of time to get there being on the off side point ends up in the back of the net because of it. That’s a side point ends up lead three with 611 to go in the second period. Takes his time a little bit on the There’s nowhere [Music] right shot to get there on the outside [Music] right for him cuz he did not have a lot of time to get there on the off side. And there’s now talking to the quick move on. And there’s now talking to the defense right now. Sorry, Michael. And a right-handed shot, which makes it a left for him to trap the puck. He’s got to either get his body or stick on that play this very play. Sorry, it’s Michael and a right-handed shot which makes it a lot tougher for him. He’s got to either get his body or get something off the battle. They’re going to give this to Hov. So maybe he did touch it at any rate. It’s a one girl it and then on the bench he’s saying I don’t think I touched it. Nope. I think I don’t think so. I think that’s your goal. Captain saying not mine 45 and there’s now one defense right now twice they were able to challenge from sharp angles and the first pit looked like it was more problematic than this one little spin on the ground plate. Here’s Smith. One of the best from that position to the front of the net or tipping pucks in front Lango on it. Been a good start, I think, from what the Conucks would like to do. You got to think they want to play a a solid team game where they force this young Orland team into mistakes and then with 18.9 seconds left sending it back to they cycle it along for sends it back in the background there first but couldn’t make a play and it is cleared out into the center And here’s Hopkins across the line. Pinsky with a shot that’s blocked off the bench. Comes to the benchman Petri to get it back in the net. Banging along the boards and LS comes out with it. Jake Carter leading the lead. He sends it down deep into the zone. I will do the second period score the straight back behind the net dishes it goes on speed trying a long roundabout way to get it ahead got a piece of that so there’s no license off the glass through center pass almost stolen by Hardy and now sending to the Toronto zone. Carl Gunnerson off the boards to center onto the stick of the orers. They have to wait for teammates on side. Lombardi couldn’t come up with it. Gunnerson does to Lombardi. Pass ahead for Connley. Conley on the right side for Cl. Back to Conley again. Conley sends it into the left hand corner. Cling to get there on the wing. gets it out at center back of the net last 1997 chases his man and it’s ever into the slot and banning on that shot there was Kanye he hasn’t banned on too many recently as it’s played down into the orange zone around back to the net. D starts up with it. Former London Junior slips it high into the left wing corner. Paul got spun around there by the blue line. Oh, another save [Applause] to get back as break up that rest for the Edmonson Oilers. We’re going to look at so far has been a drive Oilers power. They worked on it this morning. Didn’t have any pillars against it, but it was pretty obvious what they wanted to do. simple double net presence in front and get box past that first blocker and two [Applause] didn’t have any penny against it but it was pretty He’s going to be shot. [Applause] He’s going to be able to hold his passing and bounces ahead of [Applause] freezing up the board of Gravoski frees him up shields it and he finds a lead pass for Ly trying to get in on the line there against Gilbert and it rolls in on goal and Dnick knocked it away later back in the net for Clarks who had five goals the other night in Ottawa. Got another five going here and there’s still a period to go and 2 minutes and 12 left in this second period. Back down into the Toronto zone and Luke Chen turns with it now. Chen working wide with a pass through the middle that’s being deflected too high over the glass and into the screen. out of play. Intact insurance, proud partner of the Toronto Maple Leafs and all the fans who keep you leaving. Intact insurance, your backy [Music] goal against the Oilers. First goal since February of 2004, which nine games ago, but some injuries and a little problem in there. I don’t know how you can grab the P, bring it around in front of you and then put it on your stick and have the foot push off your left foot break. Wow. Thank you, Bill Maseri. That looked like the uh the play at second base. It was a neighborhood play and uh so you end up making double plays, I guess. Wow. Nice and calm coming here against the Maple Le didn’t raise much of a goal who other than Dick being upset by p not being cleared. one of the better stories in national I think the way he had to come back after his injury issues and getting ill as well because of it and losing all the weight that he did at one point thinking he’d never played perhaps in the National Hockey League again. Here he is with an absolute incredible year that nobody thought he would have including himself. And you know the performance he put on in Ottawa at the Allstar game has really made him one of the faces of this franchise personalitywise, abilitywise. And you’re right, the story is a great story and is enjoying every minute and it shows. And across the line broken up there by Potter. Letter speed for everyone. is another example as well of how you have to let kids mature sometime in our work in this business and often we don’t do that and it’s a tough thing when you’re a manager when you’re in results business but sometimes you’re just a little bit more patient often you’re rewarded for it finally and across the line the net picks up the rebound and crowd failed to knock it home there against 25 seconds left in the period a shot by Gier and for once one of his shots jingle into the net. It’s unlimited on the ice. Offside Ryan Jones has lost it. There’s Alante won it ahead at center Jones in the line of the heart and the horn hockey central loading up less in a bit of a scoring fest here leading five to three [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Welcome back to the Air Canada Center where the Maple Leafs have a five to3 lead in our second period summary brought to you by Intact Insurance. You’re back Joffrey Lel finishing off the scoring with his 21st of the year at 1654. Let’s go down to ice level now and join Scott Morrison. Thanks Joe. Obviously coming into this game a big focus for the Maple Leafs the Redhawk Gany line. The game plan coming in was to get Poke and Gunnerson out as often as possible along with the Gravoski line. And even though they’ve given up a couple of goals by Everly, they like how that matchup has been tonight. They’ve taken away a lot of the time and space, the goals they got, Scott Gordon, the assistant coach, told me came from mistakes they hadn’t been making in recent weeks as a team. So, they like that matchup and will continue forward in the third period with it. And you guys mentioned earlier about the 28 scouts that here tonight, an unofficial Air Canada Center record. They represent 23 teams. The countdown is on. Three weeks to trade deadline. Dave, back to you, Joe. Thank you, Scotty. And Gar Malaruk and the rest of the Leaf Scouting crew, a lot of them in town as well. So, they’ve added to that list of scouts that are in attendance. They all do such a great job as the Leafs have a 5-3 lead heading into the third carriage. Never has two. He’s been the best series. What a creative kid. A little give and go to that end behind the net. And then early in the game here when all three awards and the ultimate scoring for the first change to Petri getting it for his second of the year [Applause] across the disappointed. Not many once in a while again [Applause] with a sharp angle shot stopped by Ryer. Bozac turns up nice with the lead pass for local trailing on the play but he carries on. He’s in a goal and that was stop by Dnick. What a massive that was for a real issue tonight have been able to twist and turn and get lots of room to the gap toward the Oilers way too big. When you’re playing against a ski ball team like the Maple Leafs, look here just walks right through two players and gets an excellent chance to get hit. Everly on the right wing side drops it back gets it to center but stepped into it back to the net. effort doesn’t work on the near trying to come over [Applause] by Jake Bender Tony almost put in behind himself. He is just fine. Jones sends it down into his corner. Or unable to come out with it. Play in line with out. Gilbert can’t send it to the net. Gets in another try and a long shot. Fairly easy block there by John Michael L. Miles got rid of him off into the P by two right onto the sticker P. He tried a quick series pass down and then set it one working down the right side. Stops it into the corner. Finally holding the punch sends it across into the left wing boards area. And here’s Shin sending it right back behind the net. already a nice play to take it away from Gilbert there momentarily. Now crab unable to get to it cleanly and Ryan Jones has slipped it out into the center ice and crab a little bit of a shut. [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Speed trying to just save the goal behind there. He did. He did. A couple of big saves by Rymer. One on Ben Eager almost before this. And here’s the second runner as he gets a piece of the ball. The bouncing look at knocks it into his lies down the line. And here’s Eager coming to the net going to get his block on his Eager beats Luke Shen to the net. One save has been active tonight. They’ve given up a lot of goals, but they make some pretty good saves also. Shen and Gardner combined plus five tonight. each plus 10 for the season for those two young defensive [Applause] passes over the center area down the line [Music] [Applause] again trying to jam it in [Applause] bounces back to the blue line on the near side again is off the hard line. Smith trying to get to it. Can’t boilers keep it in with Ryan Whitney. Whitney on the left wing half courts trying to find plays it back to the net for Smith. That by him at the point by then cut off by Cody Branson. Freed up by local and Miles launches a big hand to center. Heat. Heat. [Applause] working on him in the corner by Carlson back to the point of unable to get it in now passes off his stick with a great scoring touches as pass and down under siege here. Plays it to the line but not out right back in again. Here’s a chance in front of the goal and got there just in the nick of time to knock down Hall. Chang is coming for both teams. Big siege there by the Oilers and Paul took too much time to either make up his mind or take it to the front of the net. players there [Applause] by Chevrolet driving [Applause] the giveaways. There’s still just 27 shots. [Music] Still just 27 shots by the [Music] [Applause] way. There’s still just 27 shots by the skate. That’s deja vu there, isn’t it? He’s been there before shot rebound right and able to get away 74. No kidding. James Rhyr faced 49 shots in Ottawa and took the shut out and the previous high was 47 by Mike Palm here in 1977. Most shots against the lead goender registering a shot of the left and it is shut out 497 for that face Oilers. We got a look at so far has been a drive Oilers power play. They worked on it this morning. Didn’t have any penalty killers against it, but it was pretty obvious what they wanted to do. Simple double net presence in front and get pucks past that first block. They worked on it this morning. You know, didn’t have any pen dealers against it, but it was pretty obvious what they wanted to do. and double presence in front will get pucks past that first blocker and two [Music] attack with that because he knocked it wide to the net. Well, this is something that’s been lacking from the Leafs game so far, the transition with speed so far tonight. And here it comes. And I think Dnick did get right across. No, he missed the net on the first chance, but certainly gets there on the wraparound attempt by Kowski. And the tip by Koulan. That’s the way the season has been going for him as he misses the net and he was wide open with the goalie going the other way. [Music] Hopkins waved out of the faceoff circle and Smith in there and the puck comes up on the ground into the four. Jeff Con as well to the line and out. Miles sends it high into the zone. Throttled up there and brought on by the man to make a play with it as Ben Eager. Cody Franc pass is deflected by Armstrong down into the end. Stuckle got a piece of his man. Brought out now by Jeff Petri onto the wing fork. That didn’t work. He’ll knife it down into the orange zone again. Back to the net. Brown stuckle. Brown with it again. Will able to make a play into the corner for an awaiting center and David Stuckle. And now off the middle it comes Hopkins and onto the wing it goes for a right wing feed now for Potter. Shot wide of the goal. Whitney trying to keep it in and does. Smith in the corner against Cody Franc. Stuckle in there trying to help out. Smith gets it freed up. Alish Hemsky trying to come out of the corner. Brown got a piece of his man and it is sped around the board by Loyals but not out. Maintained by Potter. Jammed in there as Lystrong finally gets to it was able to chip it out into the center ice area. Gier and both teams are changing. Sends it back into the armor. Right be sends D back into the Toronto zone. spun around some play hit by Liup with a loose puck up on the wing for Lup and Lupal with a long left wing keep try for Kle didn’t work and then a drive launched by Petri ends up way up into the screen and out of play leaves hanging on and I do mean hanging on a 5-3 lead he wants to show this again and oh man I mean Taylor Hall on this play has created quite a conversation about helmets and warm-up supports and and that was just an awful incident. Cory Potter stepping on his head and there is the end result. And Taylor Hall, I mean, he only missed a game if you can imagine. And I love the way this kid plays. He He’s a gamer and what a skill set he has. A terrific skater with power. It was so reminiscent of the Boria Salman incident. Although the game was being played at the time when Sman got stepped on in the gold race by Gerard Gant and yet he left immediately. He got off the ice and he you didn’t know at times why he had gone or what the injury how how severe it was. He was over 200 stitches for and that photograph was a famous one the aftermath on the top of a tough day for coaches too not the game because he had a puck this morning and got run over in practice. Here’s Bunzac with a chance in front as Dunick and it just went by. Broken ribs. They say he’s going to be okay. I got completely run over today as well. And it ahead brought in the line by Lo and squeezed to the boards and it’s down in the zone. I can’t believe they were going to run over. He couldn’t even skate. There you go. to the fire hall with a drive and it’s whistled on top of the goal by good reason to have the last word you know in the third period just when we thought you guys were getting along and an off sign at the blue line wasn’t bad actually saw the face off outside the line hockey on sportset brought to you by Molson Canadian made from One of the old old coaches, Maxi Silverman in Sub. They used to push him out onto the ice and he used to hang on to the neck. Never mind not being able to play. He couldn’t skate. The worst skater I ever watched for me as a coach that I had was the lead Roger Nielsen. Oh, Ro had trouble getting around as well. Yeah. Hey you guys, you’ve got to listen to Tim and Sid Monday to Friday on Sportsnet the Fan 590 or listen online at sportsnet.ca from 1 to 4 Monday to Friday. But Tim has lost on his head. Well, Sid’s more than meet up in terms of the eyebrowage. And uh he’s also got a couple of personalities and they’ve got some opinions and on the odd occasion they kind of agree, but they’re big fans of our show and of course we’re big fans of their show Monday to Friday. Tyler Bozac with his 10th goal of the season, one of the five the Leafs have scored, his 31st point. He had 32 all of last year. On the boards off the leg, followed up by Toronto and caught out at center by Cran to Lombardi. Back to Joey Crab over the line. Tra with a shot. Won’t save Dub and it will be held for a draw in the Oilers zone. 1108 to play in the third. Well, three shots that by Rhymer, but He’s kicked some rebounds out, but I like this movement tonight. There’s been a lot of traffic. This is a difficult team to play against the brothers because they’re very creative. There’s an excellent save on a in the third period. And Shen helped out the cost a little bit here in the third period also as he saved the goal. Thanks a lot. And got out. Thank you Pat for his efforts. [Applause] Oilers control the face off and bring it out with a pass ahead. Deflected in by Paul Oilers turning it over and getting it back. Paul again has it turned over that time as he had it knocked off. England 158 and three on whole night. They’ve won three of their last 20 on the road. The shot goes off the leg as more less thrown in front of the net blocking shots. Glosski sends it off the glove and MacArthur sends it down into the other zone to get a change going. Not been a power play here tonight. Leafs have had three games where they’ve not allowed a power play and there hasn’t been any penalties here tonight. part of that as well as the Oilers the third best power player in the National Hockey League and the Maple Leafs the fifth Oilers as well the sixth most tenac are the least in that group back up the other way so an icing charge here and it’s coming right back into the Edmonton zone and the thing about penalty killing is you don’t have to be real good at it if you don’t take very quite a statistic remarkable staff here. They’ve been able to stay out of the box and keep their sticks down and not hit some hooks and holes. It’s incredible throughout the course of the game. And two and a half less power plays per game is an enormous statistic. And uh as we head back to Winnipeg back on January, at least December 31st, six penalties that night and the Jets scored on three of them. So it’s been quite a turnabout as Elise gets David as well. [Applause] The Lakes are what Kenny is. You don’t have to be real good at it if you don’t take it. Statistics remarkable stats and keep their sticks down and not get some hooks and holes. It’s incredible throughout the course of the game and two and a half less power plays per game is an enormous statistic. And uh as we head back to Winnipeg back on January at least December 31st, six penalties or sorry before much talk in the second period rather it is an interesting topic. Much talk about him being traded before the big night that he had knights. I looking at the leg. Boy, it be a tough thing to do. Trade sand. This gu this gets a real good right up on the wing. Back the lead pass with the slow shot just shot. He had to hold the blue line until the puck got there. If it had gotten to him quicker, he was in alone. I think the only way the Oilers make that trade is such a play message if they get a real strong good young defenseman. The only way they can do it. Back at the point is Gardner fisted off for Connley. Connley sending it down into the corner now for Loop. Liver and Kessle back in the net. It’s the front of the shot by Connley just wide. Leafs in the midst of a change and an exhausted Phil Kessle’s heading as well. 6. [Applause] You have to be real good at it. If you don’t really [Applause] power enormous head. [Applause] It is an interesting tal right up on the wing lead and then shot it just wide. He had to hold the blue line until there was [Applause] a real score with the assist back in the point as Gardner fed off for Conley. Conley sending it down in L and castle back in the net. It’s still on the front shot by Conley just wide leaves in the midst of a change and an exhausted Phil Kessle’s heading to the bench and the Oers will launch it down into the Toronto zone. It will be interesting to see if Brian Burton does anything. the way this team is playing and the chemistry that they have developed, you may get the feeling as you go along that less is going to be done rather than something large. And it’ll be interesting to see what happens. Bombardi back to the point sends it to off the post and then it struck Dunick in the seat of the pants and went wide. Crab got a piece of that. But Branson got the puck through again. The Oilers are going to have to wait for teammates to get on side. Kanye trying to snap it ahead. Does to Everly. Everly saucered it in. Cleared to the line, but not out. Capitalized by Gilbert. Gilbert gets it back on the point to Everly looking. Oh, another post. The bells of St. Mary’s are going off here. This has been a wild one. And Emily comes within an iron of his first career hatrick had some breaks as well just such an open point almost there is absolutely no way Driver saw that one as there was a ton of traffic always nice to hear it nice sound often you heard it though if you heard the crowd after it you knew you were in trouble Especially when you’re on the road that he comes with Yeah. Heat. [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Applause] You know you’re in trouble. launching down into the zone header will launch it down into the end zone. A little head fake to gain the area back in the net centers. Back in for Macarthur bounces in front that up. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] 30 goal scorer a year ago just five thus far this season. He has had the hard luck year for sure pushing down the boards there was Armstrong Brown brings it in a little deeper and now there’s Steph around back of the net David Stele back for Armstrong. He’ll lose one. Armstrong coming out in front of the back hand and that ramped up off the stick of Ryan Whitney into the screen and out of play. Then Brown gives Whitney a bit of a shot on the way by a word in there as well. I don’t think we should expect too much when you miss this much time the last couple of seasons and you have to play catch up. [Music] That’s really tough to do. [Applause] before this is all over. But again, it won’t happen overnight, I don’t think, based on the injury issues. Well, they want to play the game more along the wall than they do in the middle of the ice with Steph and Brown and he they’ve done that. And they do get a chance down in the offensive end. They’re usually working pretty well as Bozac turns with the loose puck and now sends an alley open at the back and that was done. And how many times have we seen that this year just saying the same thing back that is a sick play now that Kessle uses a lot of his language working the hand into the slot back to the point it comes to Parker Parker shot is blocked by the sunrise area for 608 to third period. He’s trying to nurse this one home and extend [Applause] a nice area for Lombard trying to turn it back. And leading after two periods of play, the Le1 blemish was that collapse in the third period in Pittsburgh in the game that Ron Wilson felt may have been the team’s best. [Applause] smashes it ahead for Lombardi. Lombardi dips to center. Here’s Gosski in little tries to fly around the defense. He still has it. And he fa [Applause] zone high into the sunrise area [Applause] with a two lead. 502 going [Music] [Applause] to be outside [Applause] the less for the two goal lead 502 to go in the third period. Third period there is Mike Brown gets him just coming off a shoulder injury. just played this his second game back from missing some considerable time with that injury and he has not played the rest of this period after that hit. Well, a busy week for the Maple Leafs as we look at the Oiler front office staff. They’ll play in Winnipeg as Penny mentioned a game you’ll see here on Sports Net. Then it is off to Philadelphia Thursday and a night that a lot of us are looking forward to. That is Matt Sundine’s number 13 being raised to the Raptors here on Saturday night when the Montreal Canadians arrive at the blue line. Set in now here the Oilers trying to press the pass to put it away and play to the line but not outer unable to grab it. Play off the glass to center and a race for it. and giving chase to go get there ahead of Latislav speed right wing side Jeff Petri sends along shooting down into the Toronto zone Smith over speed at the pocket and Toby Armstrong turns now as he’ll launch it on the back hand and that’s a little bit too much attached to it and an icing charge is coming up here against the lead connected coming up after the game let’s see what’s going on [Applause] 407 to play third period. He’s trying to go five and win in the last six rounds. Went hard to make any contact without a stick now as the defensive back of the goal goes Brown and pinching in is L. Miles back into the corner. Intercepted by the Oilers and played to center ice. Cody Branson rattles it right back down into Edmonton territory. Sean Hoff coming to center. The captain gets it in on the right wing side for Jones. A shot and that’s deflected by the stick. The driver high up into the screen and another good balanced night in terms of scoring anyway for the Maple Leaf as they had both their two top lines going and against an Edmonton team who needs some work still defensively in that aspect of their game. That’s one of the reasons why it’s been a successful evening as the speed has been huge against Toronto. basically said that throughout the course of the season. Speaking of balance at least 20 here tonight on a threeame road trip before they play in this week they return home as the least will be their first opponent continues in a real castle the loop ball and the sweeping shot went just wide sh with a bride and taken by Dub and Hillers have terrific forwards. None of them involved in Ottawa and in the seventh spot and it wasn’t so long ago that a win by the Ottawa Senators here had them nine points ahead of the Maple Leafs. And in the middle of that two week span or three week span was a week off for the Allstar break. The Leafs have made up a lot of ground and the Ottawa Senators have really stumbled. [Applause] Ever lays it in line to leave four out of the goal comes through. They’re going to go with an extra attacker early here. Long shot goes off the lane wide to the side of the net. Goes back to the goal and it’s cleared on the glass but not out. Good play by Nick there by Petri to keep it in. Where is it? What’s on the dash board? He to keep it in. Where is it? What’s on the dash board? [Applause] What a goal we’re looking for. Sat looking. You got all I know. We’re looking for you know we’re looking for you got me jump on the side where is it? I got it.
