GDT: Florida @ Toronto - April 1st 7 PM- Sportsnet "Fool me once, strike one. Fool me twice, strike three."

[Cynical]

Ah, I see this is the "promote hockey in the US by giving the US team a better chance to win" game. Is it the playoffs already?

 

[BM14]

Whats this red circle bullshit

Someone set them up the bomb.

 

[Macallan18]

Finally a team that sticks up for each other. 12pim for matthews last game 3x his season total. Fckn goon

Slumping too, no goals since the last period

He got a 10 minute misconduct for being on the ice

 

[PROUD PAPA]

A most satisfying period indeed.
Keep it up boys.

 

[Strangle]

Matthews is inevitable

 

[Smif]

Score 30 and allow 60.

He's a winger, not a goalie.

 

[crump]

Good period. A lot of penalties but good physicality, opportunistic scoring. Sammy hot again tonight.

Nicky of Bobby playing pretty well on both sides of the puck these days. It’ll be tough to take him out if he keeps producing/ playing well.

 

[GoonieFace]

Can we create a new thread just for the posters whose only posts are whining about officiating

 

[Leafsfanperson]

This Samsonov kid is growing on me, I'll take getting hot at the right time in net means everything.

 

[Contenderorpretender]

No shit.

 

[All Mod Cons]

I love how this team is sticking up for each other now. The Dubas fumigation of this team is almost complete. The only thing left is getting rid of Tommy Boy behind the bench.

I much prefer a Brad built team to a Kyle one.

Kyle and his fans will never realize that you don't actually need a team full of excellent hockey players to win a cup.

This year's team isn't scared of Boston or Florida (outside a couple of the core). If they keep their composure they will win both series.

 

[Schennanigans]

Great period guys. Like the fight in them so far. Sammy solid so far.

 

[GoonieFace]

This Samsonov kid is growing on me, I'll take getting hot at the right time in net means everything.

I really hope he can keep it up. We have seen Samsonov be really good and than just implode

 

[Smif]

We're due for a goalie to get hot at the right time for once.

He's definitely getting very hot at the right time of year...

 

[SprDaVE]

Sammy is in some kind of zone right now.
Hope it lasts into and through the playoffs.

I do hope he's not trending hot at the wrong time. We need this Samsonov. We need to have the best goaltender.

I'm all for Florida getting lots of powerplays tonight. The Leafs' penalty killing is starting to come around and the practice would do them good.

 

[saffronleaf]

Robertson is a keeper. You can’t teach hands.
No way we should get rid of this kid. He has huge potential. Put him and knies with marner when he comes back and we are golden

He's a keeper but this season if everyone is healthy will he crack top 9?

Matthews Domi bertuzzi Mcmann jt marner Nylander Knies jarnkrok

But it's good problem to have injuries will happen anyways unfortunately

That and game management stack against Florida in later periods

Absolutely

 

[sxvnert]

Curious what happens to the lines when Marner and Jarnkrok returns.

Keefe doesnt have the stones to create a legit 3 line team so he'll default to Marner with Matthews.

Bertuzzi Matthews Marner
McMann Tavares Nylander
Knies Domi Jarnkork
Dewar Kampf Reaves

Instead of:

Bertuzzi Matthews Domi
McMann Tavares Marner
Knies Jarnkrok Nylander
Dewar Kampf Holmberg

The Florida PP rate will settle once it’s 2-1, but will pickup if it’s 3-1.

Robertson will score 30 eventually, I'm sure of it.

He has an elite release.
I wouldn’t limit him to 30.
