Ducks @ Leafs - 7:30 PM - TSN4

BIG, BIG, BIG game tonight.

I think people will start taking this team a bit more seriously if they knock off the league-leading Ducks in front of the home crowd. Will be a tough game, even with the Ducks missing Corey Perry. Bernier starting tonight, still no Leo (as far as I've heard).

Go Leafs Go!

alright I've been doing some reading and there's some good arguments that corsi close isn't actually better than corsi 5v5 total, and might be worse. Even since it's debatable, I'll default on the side of the bigger sample size and go with Corsi total instead.

Besides, I think the corsi close was probably making the leafs look better than they are.



cf% - zone-start adjusted 5v5 corsi percentage
rel - zone-start afjusted 5v5 corsi percentage relative to teammates

**** ME! won tix to this game, just checked my twitter feed after entering a contest earlier today. SO ****ING PISSED.
 
Clarkson seemingly becomes more useless every single game.

Nice even strength shift by the top line for a well deserved goal.
 
Bernier is on some kind of roll right now. Just exceptionally solid goaltending and it looks like the PK'ers have been more aggressive recently because of their confidence in their goalie.
 
Some great 5-on-5 work by the Kessel line. On the goal, and in the last minute of the first period in particular.
