GDT: Game 1 - Toronto Maple Leafs Vs Ottawa Senators; Apr 20 7:00 p.m. ET

[Auston Marlander]

1st one was a penalty. 2nd one was kinda weak. But here we are.

Don't crosscheck people on the numbers?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I think Austin and Tavares should both be in concussion protocol after those vicious and malicious hits.

Doesn't have to be either of those things to be a 2 minute penalty.

 

[Strangle]

they should pull Lulmark

That’s what Boston did, replaced him. In the series and off of the team

 

[PromisedLand]

Refs handing the leafs the game. Embarrassing.

LMAO

 

[lightstorm]

I'm just glad 34 survived a dive that deep.

 

[DuklaNation]

Ottawa not ready for prime time. Arena crowd doesn't have the same energy anymore. I'm afraid those glory days are gone for good.

 

[Summer Rose]

Sportsnet. Maybe they’ve turned down the crowd volume and it’s louder on the US feed?

It isn't. I'm watching on ESPN2.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Penalties were deserved. Ottawa is playing frustrated.

There is NO deserved in the NHL. Just what the officials decide to call.

 

[chris kontos]

Sniper domi

 

[Agent Zub]

Leafs instead off battling are just folding to get pps. Interesting playoff strategy.

 

[Hunter368]

I found the refs were more nervous in game one Blues/Jets than either team was, took refs at least 40 mins to calm down and call a normal steady playoff game. Just saying

 

[holy]

Ullmark padding his stats with every save.

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

I didn’t have the Leafs diving this much in my bingo card

That Matthews flop was epic.

 

[Craig Button]

I didn’t have the Leafs diving this much in my bingo card

did you have the Sens sucking so much on your bingo card

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Why is OTT acting like penalties are the reason they're losing - this game was over on the first 2 goals lmao, OTT sucks

Not the sole reason at all but it's confirming what was already known - to win this series the Sens will have to beat 2 opponents. Such is life as a non-'darling' of the league.

 

[Sting]

Ya listen the calls have been very one sided but leafs have predictably looked like the better team.

 

[Bileur]

Watch out Jensen, that might be a 5 minute major.

 

[Chaos2k7]

As of right now the Cup parade is on and this team is special!

***Terms subject to change***

After 30 minutes? Ok then

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

When you get cross checked into the boards you tend to go down easy.

If the player actually uses force. When you're 6'3 225lbs, or whatever Matthews is you don't go down that easy when you're barely touched.

Dude dove, refs bought it as they don't call that shit anymore. Players don't even get fined for it, so why worry ? Just dive.

 

[EpochLink]

Meanly starring in the void and doing nothing else?

Thinking about Gaudettes stash in the locker room

As of right now the Cup parade is on and this team is special!

***Terms subject to change***

what kind of parade though? a 1993 style "we almost made the SCF parade" or a 2025 " we might win a first round series" parade?

 

[stats1]

W whoever is complaining about the refs honestly gtfoh. Lucky it was only 2 mins. Leafs are destroying Ottawa

 

[koyvoo]

Ullmark handing the leafs the game. Embarrassing.

Fixed it for you

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Sens having a contest to see who can give up the most high danger chances to Leafs' stars. Horrendous coverage on the PK continues.

 

[dhfa]

Sens can hang 5 v 5 but their pk needs some tweaking. They can't even keep it out of the net for 30 seconds.
