Leaf Pens Game Blog....3rd Period

Looks like the 3rd is starting off with a bit more pace then the first 2 periods tonight....both teams have exchanged scoring chances so far

Pens have been getting away with little subtle interference plays all night, slowing the Leaf fore checkers down substantially.....I haven't seen one interference call yet on the Pens....Hmmm, no wonder the Leafs are looking "Slower" tonight...


Total BS call as Richard Park gets dumped in front of his own net....fine, he did have his stick in the area but that should have been called a dive for the way Park collapsed to the ice....


Looks like the game has finally started to open up a bit after killing their 19th straight penalty off. A couple of good chances at both ends and the Pens continue to get away with hacks and whacks that should be called penalties

That was the best chance of the night and it SHOULD have been called a penalty shot as Grabo was slashed hard on the hands during his breakaway....it's time to put these pesky Pens away

Another wild slash goes uncalled, then Bozak gets held up in the corner....no calls


Finally, after outplaying the Pens all night, the Grabo line comes through with a goal by Clarke MacArthur on a great set up....1-0 leafs with just over 5 minutes left.....now they just need to hold on and they will know that they deserved to have gotten all 4 points out of this back to back set...

Leafs get a powerplay with 4:55 left...Pens complaining about an interference call that didn't go their way.......hahahaha...they must have forgotten about all the ones they got away with tonight

Just over 2minutes left and Kulemin nearly ices it....Johnson makes a nice save....

30 seconds left, Pens empty net, call timeout and faceoff in the Leafs zone....lets see if they can hang on

Reimer and the Leafs hang on for an impressive 1-0 win with Reimer looking a bit like his old self again.....like I said, this might be the start of a nice run for him and the team....
