Russell Martin with some serious flow at spring training

 

[Ratboy]

Ken Reid is a douchebagger

 

[Man Bear Pig]

once millen said he thought they werent going to get to 50 shots, I knew they were. And not even because I thought he jinxed it, he's just always wrong lmao

It's like George Costanza, just do the opposite. OT: Why is he still rocking that grey spot in his hair? Looks like an idiot.

 

[Daisy Jane]

That “slash” didn’t even look like it hit his hand.

Gardiner taking his hand off his stick while playing is pretty normal mannerisms from Gardiner.

I’m not convinced.

about what?
what's going on?

 

[Macallan18]

Also, Jake has been invisible since about the halfway mark of the first.

What is the injury?

 

[The Apologist]

Are we really arguing that Hyman has been the problem with the top line? Both Matthews and Nylander have looked terrible tonight.

 

[FlareKnight]

Just play a strong third period.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

@Cor
Apparently Gardiner is injured

 

[Cor]

Lamoriello on the phone

Yup, not engaged at all.

 

[Walshy7]

If a deal isn’t finalized Lou would totally say he is injured until the deal got done. He hated trades breaking early.

 

[The Examiner]

It makes me nervous. He's our second best defender and a strong playoff performer. We better be targeting something good and long-term here, in case there actually is a trade.

It would have to be a significant defenseman or else I’d be at a loss.

I found that part funny too. He always skates around with one hand on his stick.

 

[Raym11]

While I think that somebody else should AT LEAST be tried on the line, they’re still the highest scoring line in the league.

are they actually? Kucherov almost has as many points as Matthews and Hyman combined

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Need to wake up or else we’re going to lose this game. In regulation.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Gardiner left in the first period with an injury and people are speculating it was for a trade.

 

[kyle n00bas]

I love the fact that in a "rough game" for the leafs at this point, they're still up 4-3 going into the third. That's what's "rough" at this point. After winning 9 of the past 11 games.

It's like the "first world problems" equivalence for a hockey fan.

getting outshot 2:1 is cool actually

Gardiner left the game under mysterious circumstances. The best theory people are reporting was what looked to be a very weak one handed slash on his hand as he carried the puck up the ice. Didn't play another shift in the game after that, but he didn't really show any obvious signs of pain or anything.

Fixed

 

[Sniper99]

Ken Reid is a *****ebagger

hes not too bad, I remember when he did the sports segment for CFRN news during the supper hour. Hes good.

Don Taylor is a true *****ebagger

 

[Maple Leaf]

What is the injury?

Cognitive impairment

 

[david999]

Hopefully Babcock makes some adjustments against the Folino line. Hyman has been brutal tonight as well which doesn't help.

they really haven't but whatever. Plugs always get shielded over skilled players in toronto

 

[The Examiner]

According to LeftWingLock, they are and they just moved into first, last game.

Kucherov line is 5th by 8 goals. You have to remember that Kucherov and Stamkos have been split up, several times this year.

You also have to remember that this is at even strength.
