GDT: Detroit @ Leafs at 7:00pm April 13 2024... on CBC and SN.. Matthews goes for 70

[93gilmour93]

So we can agree, first period Leafs get swept... Second period Leafs do not get swept lol

I let you know who wins the series at the end of the 3rd period

 

[Confucius]

The tender equipment back then though.

Yeah but they only played 78 games so just 2 short of a goal a game and I’m pretty sure nobody even scored 60 before that and if anything the goalie equipment just got better each year

 

[sxvnert]

Matty look pretty banged up.

Spasms like he had last year ?

The price for 70.

 

[Stephen]

Marner on a 103 point pace, which would be the third time he's taped out there if he played whole season.

The way Marner has run hot over the years you'd think he should have a couple of 115 point seasons by now.

 

[CelticDruid]

We don't have enough cap space to call up a single person right now.


When did you see this?

He looks like he is ailing a bit.

Just speculation but slamming into the boards like that would cause that kind of injury.

Just going from personal experience.

He just looked like he was stiffening up.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

I'm surprised that not more teams tried to abuse LTIR in such fashion.

Plenty have, just not to the extent that Vegas and Tampa have. The Leafs included. The difference being, we buried nobodies and it had no impact on the playoffs. Stone and Kucherov are suddenly good to go right when the playoffs start. The owners signed off on this, so this shit is on them.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Who got injured?

Everyone.

McMann lower body (knee or groin?) out for night.
Lilly run from behind, went for protocol, back.
Rielly stung his arm or side on check.
Auston flew into the boards hard back first. Looks to be okay.
McCabe blocked a one timer with his face. Dropping blood probably broken nose.

 

[Griffin76]

That's like... 40 goal pace with top line minutes

He could be a Caufield lite type player.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

That's like... 40 goal pace with top line minutes

That's not how it works. 40 goals is harder than it sounds. But out of any of our prospects Robertson has the skillset to possibly reach that mark the most.

Might take a couple more seasons of development.

 

[93gilmour93]

Waiting for Jen thots. What is on her mind... Here it is...spectacular

Jen in deep thought.....

 

[Evilhomer]

Everyone.

McMann lower body (knee or groin?) out for night.
Lilly run from behind, went for protocol, back.
Rielly stung his arm or side on check.
Auston flew into the boards hard back first. Looks to be okay.

$1 says they are all fine. Just standard stuff.

 

[DarkKnight]

The way Marner has run hot over the years you'd think he should have a couple of 115 point seasons by now.

Nice to see him comeback and look good, this second line could really create matchup problems.

 

[mcleex]

Is McCabe okay? Broken nose?

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Rutger Mcgroaty?

 

[RunItBackAgain]

$1 says they are all fine. Just standard stuff.

I hope so man. I really hope so.

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

This team is an enigma to be. One period we look like a lottery team, the next period we look like the 80s Oilers.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Is McCabe okay? Broken nose?

It would surprising if it wasn't broken. Dudes face has taken a beating this year. Still Dubas' best trade.

 

[Evilhomer]

This team is an enigma to be. One period we look like a lottery team, the next period we look like the 80s Oilers.

It's a meaningless game. That's what happens in meaningless games. The playoffs will look nothing like this.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

It would surprising if it wasn't broken. Dudes face has taken a beating this year. Still Dubas' best trade.

Until they draft the next Niedermayer with our 1st next year.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Rutger Mcgroaty?

Great handle.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

It's a meaningless game. That's what happens in meaningless games. The playoffs will look nothing like this.

Meaningless to the Leafs. Huge game for Detroit.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

 

[Darcy Tucker]

These last few games mean something right? No one wants to go into the playoffs on a 4 game losing streak getting shellacked.

 

[WillyC]

Fitting McCabe for the fishbowl helmet right now.

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

It's a meaningless game. That's what happens in meaningless games. The playoffs will look nothing like this.

If it was meaningless the boys would have rolled over. I commend them for that second-period effort. Hopefully, they get the 2 points and Matthews gets 70 goals.
