Is that Booker T behind the Leafs bench?

5 time! 5 time! 5 time! WCW champion

 

[Al14]

If tripping IS NOT a penalty tonight, then it better not be called against our Leafs in the last five minutes of the game!

 

[Burnie97]

When did they remove tripping as a penalty?

That was probably a tit for tat thing... hope they call nothing now unless really obvious. Old school that way maybe but so many bullshit bad calls and makeup penalties now. Just let them play.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Good start.

 

[fahad203]

What a calm play by Nylander.

Too bad the next pass didn't reach Robertson

That should have been one timed. We don't have a single D with a slapper of any kind

 

[GrizzLeaf]

Malgin would've scored there

 

[Cynical]

Twice now the refs raised their hands about to call a penalty against the Stars and decided against it. Then they blow the play dead while pick is loose. Wtf is going on.

You damn well known it will. When do the Leafs ever not take a penalty in the last 5 minutes?

Keefe leaning on the second line.

They’ll call the tickiest tackiest one in the third…watch

What a trap game this is. The opposition has so little respect for the Leafs they are putting their backup goalie in………we better win this one

It is interesting that they chose to play their backup goalie against Leafs and save their starter for Montreal and Ottawa up next.

Very interesting. Was checking the same thing. Wedgewood is a fine goalie though, as we all know. Maybe some coaches know that some goalies who are number two on the line, (WANT) to beat the leafs the most. Some underdogs have really given us hell during these years. Just like arizona did again. And again and again. We gotta sundin and pat quinn this thing of ours up soon. Goon it up. Show THEM hell and no mercy like president nixon said back in his prime.

Wonder what the logic behind that one is?

I don’t believe DeBoer uses logic and can ruin a good thing in hurry.

Yep, didn't want their starter to deal with the aftermath of the Leafs shelling his team tonight.

They said it's because they wanted to get him into a game and he hasn't played yet this year and that he is a Southern Ontario Native.

 

[Menzinger]

Looking better tonight

 

[DarkKnight]

So far Matthews is embarassing.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Keefe leaning on the second line.

They are our first line so far this season

Looking better tonight

Can you make this a live thread? Pwease?

 

[tmlms13]

Keefe leaning on the second line.

Either Tavares or Nylander should have switched their number to #90 for this game

 

[MSZ]

Keefe leaning on the second line.

Nothing wrong with that. The first line still hasn't done anything.

 

[Burnie97]

You think he’s come out like a house on fire.

He's had good starts to seasons usually. Been slow. He'll get going. He was saying in some quote I saw he's getting to get the timing still.

Some years just takes a couple weeks. Some guys are clearly more ready than others.

It's why every year I have to remind myself to not be so pissed after 5 games. Wait for 15 or 20 then you can be depending lol

 

[Jojalu]

It's very early but Mete looks a liotle better than I expected. The bar was low so..

 

[DarkKnight]

Nothing wrong with that. The first line still hasn't done anything.

Just noting, I’m good with it.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Three piece suit is a bit much

 

[napoleon in rags]

'Non event period', code for boring.

 

[leafsfan5]

maybe Matthews is going from an early starter to a late bloomer?

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

Looking better tonight

Definitlely. Tavares so fast there again... bringing the puck up. He has ran so much this summeri even Michael Johnson would be proud

 

[Cleetus]

Samsonov flashing the leather!

 

[Burnie97]

Nice save Sammy
