GDT: Flyers @ Leafs - Game 1 - Sunday 7pm - SN

[LeafalCrusader]

Middle six needs to get their shit together in the 3rd.

 

[DarkKnight]

Won't be surprised if the second and third lines are mixed up

 

[likecheese]

I think he meant that Hathaway carries with him a taste of being tough, whilst being a bit more effective in all situations. As opposed to a true (but completely unnecessary) fighting heavyweight with questionable ability to be effective on the ice.

Maybe.

They just wanted a Hathaway to go with their Drysdale, now they're looking for a Clampett.

 

[cyris]

I don't disagree, was just pointing out he has fought this year and corrected the spelling of his name. Like others have said, if he isn't going to do his job, not sure why he's still on the team.

I always get the spelling of his name confused with his distant relative Bas Reeves.
Not sure where along the line the “a” was added.

 

[REALTALK81]

Benoit and Tanev are pretty solid together. Middle 6 are pretty bad. Berube might as well start putting the middle 6 through the blender. Starting with McMann playing with Nylander.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

When they said yesterday that we hadn't been outscored in 20 straight 2nd periods, I knew it would screw us, 2 straight the other way now.

Almost Evil Homer esk lol.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Jesus, Reilly really did Willy no favors on that goal. Not excusing Willy, but if Reilly was anywhere in the vicinity of aware, they're not picking that one out of the back of the net.

 

[frizzer1]

What’s up with Nylander?
Is he banged up?

 

[CelticDruid]

sooooooooooooooo

did tavares reverse aging by one year?

did nylander lose his brain in cancun?

why is our middle six so bad

We get it the Tavares line sucks right now.

 

[ashs]

Reilly sucks on the pp

 

[therealkoho]

Kyp is right even though some people just want to tell him to eff off so eff off freak

 

[Guided by Veseys]

They just wanted a Hathaway to go with their Drysdale, now they're looking for a Clampett.

They should try the oilers

 

[CelticDruid]

I knew you were Sam Bankman Fried

Lol.

No jail for me,plus my X would have been hot.

 

[93gilmour93]

Benoit in action

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

What’s up with Nylander?
Is he banged up?

He was swiping on that ipad pretty hard last night

 

[All Mod Cons]

Why the f*** do we play so many back to backs?

 

[cyris]

Maybe.

Yeah that is pretty much it. And you said it much better than the way I was going to say it.
I’d love a true heavy that can play like Olivier or Wilson but they aren’t available and we probably don’t have the cap space if they were.
But Hathaway fits in that next tier who will fight almost anyone but actually can be an effective contributor to a lineup when they aren’t fighting.

 

[CelticDruid]

Nylander has been awful.
Tavares is drunk.
Patch looks disoriented.

It will pass.

Sucks right now but that's hockey.

 

[yubbers]

Reilly sucks

Fixed

 

[Skullz]

I would try Nylander on that 3rd line with Domi and McMann, lots of skill and speed.

 

[Smif]

Not a great game for us so far but this is one of those games a top team wins even tho we aren't firing on all cylinders. Prove me right, boys!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Why the f*** do we play so many back to backs?

NHL are shitheads and would rather f*** over the Leafs than any small market American team.

 

[frizzer1]

We’ve seen this movie before.
When Matthews and Marner play together they become a one line team.
Willy and Tavares don’t work well together.

 

[eramosat]

They just wanted a Hathaway to go with their Drysdale, now they're looking for a Clampett.

Lol...you have a sharp mind!
A bit better better to say they wanted a Drysale to go with their Hathaway, and are looking for a Clampett...or a Bodine? But the topic dictated the thrust.
Anyways...funny!

 

[yubbers]

Why the f*** do we play so many back to backs?

it doesn't end all season
