GDT: All Star Weekend - Leafs edition

[Leaf Fans]

Lol He's popular because he's a Leaf player. It's the fan base that makes him popular. If he was in Phoenix nobody would really know him.

Perhaps, your guess is as good as anyone's.

 

[Divine]

Ohhhh man. Team Matthews winning this thing has really brought out the trolls. Especially on Twitter. LOL

Yeah, especially when he has to play all the other stacked all-star teams!

 

[mikeyz]

Brought the trolls to life in here too apparently

I haven't seen too many in here yet. But I'm sure that they'll make their way at some point.

 

[MK78]

Yeah it wasnt a bad experience. It's nice that Matthews and Marner made an impact in the final game.

 

[Antropovsky]

My guess of what?

 

[Leaf Fans]

My guess of what?

Your guess as to what would happen if Marner were playing in Phoenix.

The boys brought it in this event. Matthews and Nylander finished just behind the big boys in the skills competition. Then, the all Leaf team ends up beating McDavid and Draisaitl in the final game to capture the championship, with Matthews taking home MVP honours. There were some nice storylines to follow for fans of the home team.

Back in 2000, Jagr said every all star game should be in Toronto. There's a nice hovkry vibe brings out the best among a lot of players

Especially seeing a lots of former hockey players who are from GTA area

But funny enough I don’t think either of them and especially not Gretzky ever stood out the way McDavid does today in an overall skills competition.

At least someone else won the 1-on-1!

now even the NHL players are mocking the Leafs

The skills competition was interesting with Willy and Matthews in it. Matthews ended up 3rd in points, Nylander was 4th in points. They advanced through the stages, making the cut from 12 to 8 and 8 to 6. They were only behind McDavid and Makar in points and they are the two best players in the world right now. Pretty good showing by the lads on home ice.

I'm not sure what, if anything, they used as a tiebreaker, but they consistently showed Nylander third and Matthews fourth.

Great showing either way!

Tbh he's right

 

[notDatsyuk]

Marner giving playoff vibes with some of these turnovers.

I thought he was doing terribly with all the giveaways and tons of ice time, until I realized there were two #16s! And two #9s.

Bad enough that they had that, but with the names at the bottom (often tucked in), it was really bad. What idiot designed that?

McDavid looks like he's the only one this going more than 90% this weekend.

The goalies are really the only ones trying.

Honestly thought debrincat overall would get the mvp.... but still cool Matthews got it.

My vote would have been for Barzal, but yeah.

 

[Evilhomer]

Thank goodness this garbage sideshow is over. Back to real hockey, please.

I don't think it is outrageous, as there might be rumblings of moving McDavid since he came up short yet again.

Nylander lining up beside Draistaitl might be the answer.

As Pastrnak sits back and counts his rings ... from Birks.

Your guess as to what would happen if Marner were playing in Phoenix.

...you been following hockey long? It's well publicized.

 

[TIGERCOOL]

Debrincat, Forsberg and Barzal as a second line really made me dream. Those guys play a more straight forward game than our top guys but have a knack for just putting the puck in the net when you think they should. Makes them more dangerous off the rush, where as our top guys seem to generate more offence from possession and volume of high danger chances.

I just KNEW Debrincat would score on that shootout attempt, and that must be really nice to have. I'd take Keller as a consolation prize...

 

[bax]

Now do it for real.

Pretty dumb coming from the guy whose team put up the most points in league history last year and got bounced in the first round after leading the series 3-1 lol

Watch Barzal on Monday when he is back with his regular linemates. I have a feeling you won't be as impressed.

Yes, a long time. It can't have been well publicized as it was ever a reality

 

[cyris]

just FYI even the other coaches see it but the blind man called Keefe can't

You know he wasn’t referring to Matthews and Marner as the line that was -3 right?

So what was Monty seeing that blind Keefe can’t?
