GDT: Annoyed and Pissed off Edition | Detroit@Toronto 7:30 p.m. EST (Time Change)

[BayStBullies]

Leafs are 21-19

Hovering around .500


not so sure this team has anything to do with winning a cup this year

You're really bad at math. They are .625 with a 21-11-8 record. P% is calculated based off achieved points (50) divided by max available points (80). Go to the Boston forum and tell them they are 25-17.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Big chance for Holmberg tonight.

 

[DarkKnight]

Well we have plenty of intrigue tonight anyways.

 

[Confucius]

If we lose this game I hope Keele does the right thing and gets himself suspended for 10 games, just so we can have an idea how someone else would handle things

 

[egd27]

I think trying to equate a record under today's rules with a record under a system when ties existed is silly.

Of course you do.

Unless of course the OT and SO results were heavily tilted against us, then they would be dismissed as nothing but "luck"

Well, 'good' records got us nowhere in the past. Maybe being a potato in the regular season will change the playoff outcome

Maybe it will......but that's not the point of the post.

Keefe really is special. The only reason the Leafs aren't in the basement is the offense, so of course he's throwing a grenade at them. Meanwhile the defense and Samsonov are AHL worthy, and he's fine with that

What exactly did you want him too do with the D? Maybe switch Rielly and Brodie? He's stacking Lilly and McCabe which is a good move.

On offense those are the right moves. He's sending a message to guys like Marner. Drive your own line. Matthews and Nylander together as overall they have been good. Holmberg gets a promotion. Robertson gets good linemates.

This is actual coaching

Those are excellent decisions. Will he stick with them though? Thats the question.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Christs sake drop the f***ing puck

 

[Leafs87]

Interesting lines to say the least

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Why is Holmberg on the top line? Like what….

 

[Cleetus]

Going to be dropping the puck, when the football game starts lol

 

[LeafEgo]

Wasn't too far back both Wings and Leafs swapped their goalies twice each in a game with 20 or so goals. That could be an annual thing we do.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Why is Holmberg on the top line? Like what….

Rewarded for his good play recently. While Knies gets to eat shit on the fourth line for his recent mistakes.

Hoping Marner playing with his idle changes things for him

Knies is only on that 1st line cause he's got a pulse. LW is definitely a weakness

 

[rojac]

Christs sake drop the f***ing puck

7:52 puck drop because Detroit was late getting in due to snow.

Hopefully Lions Rams is a good one that goes down to the wire, too many blowouts so far

 

[93gilmour93]

Let's bounce back with a win tonight. Hopefully the break from the team did Sammy some good....

 

[Confucius]

Both Marner and Mathews publicly stating how great Holmberg is. Keefe responds with your wish is my command

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Don't mind mixing up the lines. However, we all know Keefe will revert back to his usual pairings in the top 6 in short order

 

[notdoneyet]

What’s the over/ under Samsonov let’s in first shot
Or two goals in first five minutes

 

[mogs]

They better skip the anthems.

 

[Gallagbi]

Interesting opportunity for Sammy tonight

 

[Evilhomer]

Of course you do.

Okay, you're right, they suck. Terrible team. Everyone should be fired because the number of regulation wins are not as good as they would have been when ties were part of the rules.

Don't mind mixing up the lines. However, we all know Keefe will revert back to his usual pairings in the top 6 in short order

Literally guaranteed. If this was something that you could bet on, it would be the surest thing of all time.

 

[Stephen]

For a road visit like this, does a team like Detroit come directly to the arena from the airport, then directly fly out after the game? Seems like such an uncomfortable business trip in the middle of January. I imagine the Leafs will fail to take advantage of this despite the obvious advantage.

 

[Cleetus]

lets go! lets light up red light Riemer
