GDT: Canucks @ Leafs 7:30 - another day, another win

[Marshy]

Good period minus the game management. Lol Horvat man handles Lil and Lil gets the penalty?! Is Graham Skeletor reffing?

That's what I asked. Apparently Skilleturd isn't the only buffoon just the biggest one.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Virtanen beaking as if he’s going to do anything

I saw Canucks fans suggesting that Simmonds should have to fight Virtanen. Do people not realise how tough Wayne is?

 

[saffronleaf]

is 38 Sandin's real number or just something they gave him?

 

[CelticDruid]

Would have liked to have seen the fourth line stay together tonight as they were building good chemistry.

Sandin plays like he will never make a mistake in his NHL career, just flawless.

Need some more zip from that second line as Gally look like he should be on the third line.

 

[djdev]

I don't think Kronwall ever had the poise and smarts that we see with Sandin. Kronwall was more of a brute. Heavy hitter with a heavy shot. More like Phaneuf.

ye maybe not, i dont think he will ever have kaberles offensive instinct personally, and hes more physical..maybe kronwall is a bad comp. just his hits remind me of him i suppose

 

[MattySnipes]

I love Mitch's mullet.

 

[The Beyonder]

Did Mitch hit puberty hard just now? Dude has a deeper face, some hair on chin.

 

[crump]

Hutton looks good as a solid depth guy. Makes good simple plays.

Liljegren is wrecking ball out there

Sandin flying, nice pass to Engvall

Riddich been solid

Matthews is insane

 

[StevenB]

Did Marner just call Matthews “tony”?

 

[CelticDruid]

is 38 Sandin's real number or just something they gave him?

#38 Special.

 

[saffronleaf]

lol MM does not have a future as a commentator. He made that beautiful goal sound so boring.

 

[saffronleaf]

Did Marner just call Matthews “tony”?

Yup, that's one of his nicknames

 

[MattySnipes]

is 38 Sandin's real number or just something they gave him?

That's a good question.

I want to say it's been given to him, but I'm not 100%

 

[Bellefour20]

I love Mitch's mullet.

Go big or go home. Grow that out like Chris Simon.

 

[CelticDruid]

Yesss virtanen please piss off Engvall. Even I'm curious to see what an angry Engvall plays like

Engvall will offer him leaves from the highest branches.

 

[justloveleafs]

liljegren dropping everyone in sight.

Shea Weber, coming up. I love this kid. Dubas, might be turning this guy into a junk yard dog.

Solid, NHL, player, and meanness becoming more noticeable as he is fed less and less NHL time.

[stickty111]

Not as good as the 1st, but still decent. Didn't like parts of it as Canucks had some pressure. 2 kids were good again especially Sandin. Lilly took a penalty which could have gone either way, but aside from that solid again.
Lilly is really physical today which isn't something he is known for. He's only known for it when it calls for it so it's good to see.

 

[StevenB]

Yup, that's one of his nicknames

It feels familiar and unfamiliar at the same time lol. Like I feel like I’ve heard it but also I haven’t

 

[crump]

Yep Spezza having one of those vintage games

 

[stickty111]

I remember people saying Liljegren wasn’t an NHL dman and now he’s everyone’s shiny new toy, you love to see it

It's only 2 periods so bit early to be claiming anything but good start.

 

[zeke]

 

[MattySnipes]

Go big or go home. Grow that out like Chris Simon.

 

[Fogelhund]

Duthie. “All three Leafs lines have scored tonight”

umm. James, there are four lines.

 

[therealkoho]

Game management complete, Vancouver now playing with flash and vigor as Betteman wanted.

and hey that's 5G flash and vigour
