GDT: Apr 24 7:30pm - BwO and the Leafs vs TB: Freaking Game 4. Baby: ROR? No, the real hero so far is Squiffy's liver

[Guided by Veseys]

You're fighting to breath. 5 mins later you're right as rain.

I was being a jackass. Every single person has probably had the wind knocked out at some point. I’ve been winded from a blow tons of times from hockey to skateboarding to getting kicked, etc. it sucks. I don’t think I ever looked quite as racked up as Point did tho. No question tho it is absolutely hideous until you get your shit back together.

 

[al secord]

Can't breathe for up to a minute, then normal breathing slowly returns. Had it happen to me twice playing touch football.

First time it happened to me was scary as hell and I was crawling along the ground. I'm sure I looked like a drama queen myself.

 

[Rob Brown]

... confidence is even lower now

How is confidence lower? We smashed them Game 2, and won Game 3. We're up in the series, and won two in a row which we didn't do last year. Don't think the confidence is lower at all.

Oh shoot. Sorry lol. My jackassory meter is on the fritz.

Have the ads been especially awful on this website for mobile for anyone else? Taking over the sides and the bottom of the page non-stop.

Anyway, GLG. Anyway you beat these dirty f***s and almost as bad refs is a good way to beat them.

Yes, just shrinks the screen. Not just that they are moving around a lot more and getting misclicks more often.

He was good enough to continue to play a few minutes later.

He went pretty much head first into the boards, fell when skating back toward bench, and needed to be helped off the ice. Classic examples of a concussion.

I know the scrum afterwards lasted a while, but it seemed Point was back pretty quickly for someone that definitely needed mandated concussion protocols and testing.

 

[Rob Brown]

Uh oh

 

[67leafs]

Hedman needs to be hit every opportunity the leafs have……no questions asked.

 

[al secord]

Ron DeSantis is fired up for this one.

 

[PromisedLand]

may the Leaks continue....

 

[SprDaVE]

Uh oh

Last game he said the same thing. I think there's a couple players banged up but probably should be fine.

 

[GoonieFace]

Uh oh

Heard Malhotra has the trots and they may not want him on the bench

 

[DarkKnight]

Not bad defensive liability Morgs. Also speaks to Schenn stepping up.

 

[al secord]

Giordano looked like he was skating in cement on Saturday. He has to be dealing with something. And not just old age.

 

[ACC1224]

No never. What’s it like?

I've never drowned but like that.
Once you fill your lungs you're fine but it takes a few minutes

 

[Al14]

Shouldn't their only mission to be win the game and series?
Tampa would love Simmonds on the ice against Stamkos, they'll take that match up all night long.

** something to address another time but why doe a monster like Matthews need someone to protect him from Stamkos?

IMHO, Stamkos knows that Matthews has a surgically repaired wrist. Matthews throwing punches could damage it again. Taking out Matthews at this time in the series benefits his team greatly.

This was an intentional act on his part to start a fight with our franchise player in Matthews. He needs to fed a few knuckle sandwiches himself!!! Preferably by a player that we can sacrifice for the cause. Sends a message that our players are not to be fooled with like that.

 

[bax]

Why put Simmonds in when we’ve held our ground physically against Tampa? The only thing you’re doing is making your lineup weaker by putting Simmonds in over Lafferty or Aston Reese…

I can't believe it's even a conversation!

McCabe was turned into Pretzel with the Maroon hit from behind

 

[SprDaVE]

Giordano looked like he was skating in cement on Saturday. He has to be dealing with something. And not just old age.

I hope someone of his experience would recognize not to play on 1 leg if he's banged up. He seemed fine to me last game but he's definitely not been as good as we know him to be.

 

[SprDaVE]

Schenn was turned into Pretzel with the Maroon hit from behind

McCabe was on the received end of that, not Schenn.

 

[JSn0w93]

I wouldn't be against Liljegren getting in here if someone is banged up, a little more mobility wouldn't hurt us there.

 

[tmlms13]

Uh oh

He's just doing Fan590 and TSN1050 a favour..... if he reveals who he knows there will be 7 hours of people freaking out, i.e. it's Samsonov

Seriously though, I bet McCabe is one from that Maroon hit, and Knies limped around once so maybe he has an ankle or something

 

[Pinkcat]

It seems like Tampa really wants to win a third cup to cement their legacy with a "dynasty" tag. They know their competitive window is closing and there won't be any more chances.

 

[Torontonian]

My guess is a dman is the one who is a game time decision

 

[SprDaVE]

Maybe we see the 11-7 lineup?
