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

[Evilhomer]

Leafs getting away with a lot again tonight.….. expect a dinky call late.

I was told the league is biased against the leafs, so I don't think the Leafs have gotten away with anything. If anything, Detroit should have more penalties.

 

[PromisedLand]

Chirot holding that entire shift

open you f***ing eyes refs

 

[Cleetus]

True story, Hasek baited you to shoot to a seemingly open spot just to fk you over, because he knew where you shooting.

one of my Favorites, I loved how he played the game, we will never see anything like that again

 

[Alerion]

Chiarot just held Willy 3 different times

 

[34]

Win or Lose, this is not a good team

Nope, this Leafs team is not a contender. Not even close. They can easily miss the playoffs.

 

[TMLeafer]

Clear hold on willy

 

[fahad203]

To be fair, this is why you start Samsonov against Detroit. They are bad. Not quite San Jose and Anaheim bad, but close enough. In any event, this will all be a lot better once Woll is back.

No doubt, then we should beating them 5-0 considering they came to the rink like an hour prior to the game

Unlike those teams though, Detroit is fighting for a playoff spot. Detroit also has 2 35 goal scorers

 

[Cleetus]

no more Powerplays for us, they have reached there quota

 

[DarkKnight]

Leafs are buzzing anyways.

 

[frizzer1]

Matthews looks really excited to have holmberg on his line zzzzzz. .

 

[CelticDruid]

Robertson almost got decapitated there

He has had a good game so far.

 

[fahad203]

Knies could use few games from the pressbox. Not to punish him but to give him some rest and to let him see the game from outside

He's never played more than 40 games in a compressed season. 40 games in Uni is span out throughout the year

 

[frizzer1]

Not a fan of anything in this game. No positives.

Except Marner.

 

[Smif]

Starting to get the Sammies.

I'm getting the Sammies and the Willys. Willy needs to pot one.

 

[Stephen]

How is this team struggling to light up James Reimer?

Unlike those teams though, Detroit is fighting for a playoff spot. Detroit also has 2 35 goal scorers

Two 35 goal scorers and literally no defense or goaltending. Honestly, James Reimer is in net for them right now. If James Reimer is your goalie, you are most certainly not making the playoffs.

 

[Stephen]

Willie has gone cold after that contract was signed. Not happy about that.

 

[Nineteen67]

If they had a “lottery” series for the teams that missed the playoffs, these teams would be a 7 game hit if they faced each other

 

[ruaware41]

most of us probably do something more important than trying (and failing miserably) at stopping a puck during a sports contest.

yea something more important like spending hours a week watching someone else stop a puck during a sports contest and then talking about it right? Or sitting in some corporate office plugging away at excel spreadsheets

I think Samsonov has won the same amount of Stanley Cups as the user you're replying to. lol

so they're both losers by that logic?

 

[Confucius]

True story, Hasek baited you to shoot to a seemingly open spot just to fk you over, because he knew where you shooting.

I thought most goalies did that

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

He has had a good game so far.

How is that possible? He was written off after....56 career games.

 

[Stephen]

Johnny Bower rolling in his grave after that poke check attempt

That display by Samsonov was a disgrace to Bower and Hasek.

 

[Racer88]

To be fair, this is why you start Samsonov against Detroit. They are bad. Not quite San Jose and Anaheim bad, but close enough. In any event, this will all be a lot better once Woll is back.

Yes Detroit is bad and yet here we are tied with them……what does that say about our team

 

[Evilhomer]

How is this team struggling to light up James Reimer?

Exact same question I have. But they will score on him again at some point in this period.

A Wings Leafs playoff series in 2024 might be enough to turn one of hockey forever. Tonight’s game is dreadful.
