GDT: Game 05 - Toronto Maple Leafs @ Winnipeg Jets - Saturday, October 22nd, 2022 - 6:00pm CDT - CBC/CITY/SNW - CJOB/POWER 97

[chaos4]

With the release of the NHL's reverse retro jerseys, it got me thinking about what I could do for a topic.

So let's go back, way back for this edition of the GDT...

Music plays...

Good evening hockey fans, I'm your host Dave Hodge and welcome to Hockey Night in Canada. On tonight's broadcast we have two early games. Those in Quebec and Eastern Canada will see the Montreal Canadiens take on the Minnesota North (Dallas) Stars, while those in Ontario and the West will see the Toronto Maple Leafs take on the Winnipeg Jets. Joining me to discuss tonight's match-ups is our video analyst, Howie Meeker...

Howie, what kind of game do you think will be played tonight?

Dave, the Leafs are coming off of a “Super” victory over that Minnesota North (Dallas) Stars in their last game, so they should be fired up for this one against the Jets.

What about Winnipeg, Howie? How do you think they will come out after the loss against the Atlanta Flames (Vegas Golden Knights)...

Dave, the Jets will have their new Head Coach behind the bench for the first time, so he should put some fire in their bellies, and they should come out with some gumption...

Now Howie, the Jets got off to a slow start the other night (video replay of game in background), what do they need to do to beat the Leafs...

(Speaking about the video) Now back that up, see Dave, they just let the opponents walk all over them in the opening frame. You can't do that and expect to win.

Thanks Howie. In the other game tonight, we go to Dick Irvin in Montreal, Dick...

Thank you Dave. The Canadiens have made a lot of changes this year with the addition of some new young talent. Yet, they continue to surprise teams with their play, and the Minnesota North (Dallas) Stars will be the next team to find out. Back to you in Toronto...

Thank you Dick. Calling the Toronto/Winnipeg game tonight will be Bob Cole and Harry Neale. Your thoughts...

Thank you Dave. Look Harry, this game is gonna be a good one, we've got two teams that have a lot of talent.

That's right Bob, you've got Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner for the Maple Leafs, who have only scored two goals between them, but you know they'll start putting them in very soon.

Harry, and on the Jets, they've got Mark Chefflee and Chuck Connors, who can score too, so it should be quite the match-up for tonight's game. Back to you Dave.

Thanks Bob and Harry. Now, to go to our round table, we have Brian McFarlane and Gary Dornhoefer. Guys, what are your feelings about the game tonight...

Both teams are off to a slow start, but the game tonight will be decided by goaltending. The Jets will have Connor Hellebuyck, who has been playing well.

But Brian, it's not all about the goaltending, it's about which team takes control of the game. Toronto is clearly the better team and should win the match.

Gary, I don't agree, the Jets will finally have Rick Bowness behind the bench and that should get the players motivated.

Sorry to interject gentlemen, but we have Big Bobby Clobber standing by...

Hi Big Bobby.

Hi Big Dave.

Now Bobby, the Leafs just played two night's ago. How do you prepare for tonight's game?

Well, that's a very good question Dave, one that has a very good answer. You see to prepare for tonight's game, we either had to sharpen our skates or spend time with our wives. Needless to say, some of the guys will be playing with dull skates...

Bobby, what do you think about the Maple Leafs lineup...

Dull skates...hahaha....get it.

Oh I got it Bobby. Now about the Leafs lineup...

Well, you know, we got a good lineup, usually we start off with the smallest guy on the team and then each of us lines up behind him, and so on...

No Bobby, I was talking about the players on the ice...

The ones with the dull skates?

No Bobby, never mind. Thank you Big Bobby Clobber. Good luck tonight...

No that was last night...hahaha...

On tonight's broadcast, our first period intermission will feature Coach's Corner with Don Cherry and John Wells...

The second half of the Doubleheader tonight will feature the Buffalo Sabres at the Vancouver Canucks. Steve Armitage will preview this game in the second intermission...

The pucks are about to be dropped, so we will send you out to your appropriate games...

Go Jets Go!

Wow!
You get the first star tonight!

 

[chaos4]

Yeah I'm going tonight, can't stand all the Leafs jerseys in the crowd. It was fun last season when we kicked the crap out of them. Even if it doesn't go well you know it is a 100% guarantee they will be crying into their beers following the 1st round of the playoffs.

Do you have one of these?

 

[Potrzebie]

Even Auston Matthews knows his own team blows. Suck it Laffs.View attachment 597636

What's got two thumbs and moons security guards?

 

[SimpleSimon]

I was just perusing the Leafs threads and I just can’t seem to understand why they don’t understand that we hate those conceited ***** from the centre (or as they would wish to spell in Toronto “centre”) of the universe as much as the rest of Canada. We don’t like beating the leafs because they are a formidable opponent. We just want to see their ********* fan base weep salty tears…

 

[chaos4]

It's Saturday, have a drink in hand, on the best forum on HF.... AND I can finally watch a game.
As an added bonus, my son in law will go home from the game, and my daughter can wipe away his salty tears, after the loss.

 

[bustamente]

Hopefully they are handing out paper bags to the fake Jets fans tonight

 

[Daximus]

Leafs seem to think we are the 2018 Jets, not the 2022 Jets. Dressing their goons for the night. Hopefully we just walk around Simmonds and Clifford and score. Maybe we can shorten them up to 3 lines quickly.

 

[bustamente]

Typical Leafs coach thinking that he is smarter than any one else by dressing 2 guys who don't belong in the league anymore because his fanbase called his team soft. Of course TSN is trying to make this the battle of the century.

My God in Heaven, does this GDT deliver! I'd say "hopefully we didn't jinx it by hearkening back to a time when the Leafs didn't suck", but I see all the TV frames are in color, so we should be good

 

[Eyeseeing]

Normally don’t drink wine and watch hockey, will make exception tonight.

 

[bustamente]

 

[Aggie204]

Great coverage, Bowness’ corvettes. F-off SN.

 

[bustamente]

Fists of steel, ha ha ha nice hair Tin Tin

 

[Fatdrunk]

Her neck is bigger than her head…..

 

[AlphaLackey]

Normally don’t drink wine and watch hockey, will make exception tonight.

Going for a couple cran and vodkas tonight, but here's your Alpha Lackey quiddity trivia: I take my cranberry juice *pure*. Like, not just "no cranberry cocktail" but I mean "no sugar added". Yes, it is bitter AF. I don't know what prompted me to try it this way. I think I took John Oliver (or one of 'that crowd') seriously when he talked about the influence of the "Big Cran" lobby. Maybe I had a daydream one day about an epic way to be a contrarian. Who knows. Who knows where I was going with this? Not me.

Bitterness! That's what I was going with. Speaking of bitterness, is @sipowicz posting tonight?

 

[Weezeric]

If any of those leafs plugs takes a run at Perfetti, I am going to be upset..

 

[bustamente]

Sounds like the panel wants a bloodbath and of course if it happens they will act like this kind of stuff doesn't belong in hockey everyone except Bieksa cause he is a dick

 

[DRW204]

f***ing sad that the Leaves are the reason we sell out.

 

[Aggie204]

If any of those leafs plugs takes a run at Perfetti, I am going to be upset..

The guys gotta be hyped for tonight. Stanley wants to retain his title if that happens.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Lol this f***ing ad. A goose convincing a fledgling entrepreneur to choose a ".ca" domain name is just further proof that geese are all assholes.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Matthews Marner both need to wake up soon, I’m thinking it’s this game

Edit: sorry wrong thread

 

[DharmaBum]

Drop the puck already!

 

[SCP Guy]

Saved my yard leaf blowing for this afternoon…. Man do I hate leafs

 

[Daximus]

Matthews Marner both need to wake up soon, I’m thinking it’s this game

We're all hoping it's not.

 

[NorCalhockey]

Alas, I no lo

Lol this f***ing ad. A goose convincing a fledgling entrepreneur to choose a ".ca" domain name is just further proof that geese are all assholes.

alas, I no longer get the Canadian ads since I cancelled CenterIce, but I can still get the Canadian broadcast. Thanks ESPN plus!
My free Center Ice preview ended a week ago.
