GDT: Chicago Blackhawks at Toronto Maple Leafs

[al secord]

Engvall picking the team up. Great leader.

 

[socko]

Matthews wrist looks better

The denial of people saying there was nothing wrong with his wrist will forever be hilarious. Sure Matthews shoots muffins and 1-timers all the time. Yep.

 

[MSZ]

Look at the bright side, the shooting percentage this period is 33.3%

 

[Alerion]

"Cross-checking crackdown"

 

[IrishInOntario]

This team needs two upgrades at the deadline.

#1 an upgrade for Justin Holl.
#2 a 2nd line left wing that can move Kerfoot down the lineup and solidify the "Special K" line.

Bunting / Matthews / Marner
Addition / Tavares / Nylander
Kerfoot / Kampf / Kase
Mikheyev / Spezza / Simmonds
Steeves / Clifford

Reilly / Brodie
Muzzin / Addition
Sandin / Liljegren
Dermott / Rubins

Holl + Engvall + Ritchie + Prospects. That's what you have to make the upgrades and free up the cap space.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Nice end to the period from the 4th line.

 

[saffronleaf]

not a great period.

malthews should score in the 3rd.

 

[Burnie97]

Really good shift by the 4th line there.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Good shift to close the period.

 

[Griffin76]

I thought there was supposed to be some consistency on these crosscheck calls?

 

[HockeyVirus]

Engvall picking the team up. Great leader.

Yes any GM trading for him would be getting a steal IMO. Worth a 2nd at least, but a 1st gets him now

 

[The Kessel Run]

I thought there was supposed to be some consistency on these crosscheck calls?

that’s only early in the 1st.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Awful period but still up thanks to goaltending. Take over the 3rd and gg

Consinstancy, this league.....

 

[Notsince67]

I preferred the team when they played a strong defensive game. They need that zen back.

 

[PromisedLand]

Matthews could have had 2 more for a hatty in the 2nd period. 1 post and then just missed up high

there is still 3rd period to get it done

 

[keonsbitterness]

Need a better third. Do it, boys.

100%

 

[Burnie97]

Need to be harder on the puck in the 3rd and no sitting back. Chicago isn't going to quit. Next goal is obviously huge. If Leafs get an early one hopefully it can turn into a laugher.

 

[fahad203]

Let’s keep Steeves on the 4th pls

How has he looked?
I'm out of country haven't been able to watch him play

 

[Nylanderthal]

Outshot 26-14 and up 2, I know score effects play into that, but this is precisely why mrazek was brought in. Woll or hutch or a typical backup and this is a 4-4 game after 40

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Haven't really paid attention to the Habs lately, but their lineup tonight.....wow. The definition of tanking.

 

[saffronleaf]

idk people might be forgetting mrazek was brought in to be a 1a/1b.

glad he's showing what he's got.

 

[Recipe Unlimited]

I refuse to watch that Spiderman movie they're advertising.

For a 4th line kid , he looks fast and hungry and quick and full of desire with a touch
