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

[Pablo El Perro]

Leafs don't even look like they are trying right now. I haven't seen them play desperate at all but the Senators aren't really playing at a pace that makes them do that either. i think the talent gap is too wide

That and the pps get you a coffee

tough day for swedish goaltending.

 

[Calicaps]

I haven't gotten to see a lot of Stolarz. He's an interesting goalie to say the least. I'd say his rebound control leaves a little to be still desired, but his movement is sound. He's generally where he needs to be. Probably should have had one of two goals tonight but sometimes a goalie just doesn't come up with a save. It happens even to the best.

Also he looks huge. I don't know how tall he is but wow.

ESPN crew said 6'5"

Next week we will be sitting on the couch and waiting for a banged up team from the province of Florida. This is the year!

 

[Chainshot]

Pretty sure Nick isn't dressed tonight.

I can just see a "2-" something flopping around, thought it was him.

 

[Fatass]

Ullmark has been terrible, but I haven't been impressed with that blueline tonight either.

The entire Sens commitment to defensive structure is poor. They love to score and be aggressive but they need to learn to settle down and play the right way. They can start with straight lines, staying in their lanes and keeping it a simple game. Way too often on the wrong side of the puck which is making it easy for the Leafs.

 

[IceManCat]

based on ability, he obviously needs more of a resume to break top 5 in the league overall

There are tons of goalies that would go in front if its just based on ability. He wouldn't crack the top 30.

Deal of the century

 

[TheOrganist]

Toronto looks pretty good. Looking poised and confident.

I told people the Leafs got a goalie in September, but people like pedigree

 

[ToDavid]

"Send a message" - "Roger's pays my salary" LMAO

Not the refs fault only one team is engaging in the funny business.

 

[dhfa]

It's just one game. The sens need to come out in game 2 and play more disciplined and they can tie it up.

 

[Mike C]

Fairy Bettman working all his godmother magic through the officials to hand Cinderella a game one victory.

Nor to mention the Sens are overmatched

Getting a little ahead of ourselves are we?

 

[Sensatauro]

I knew it! You guys are sharking us, aren't you?

Let me guess, you'll let us go up 2-0 in the series and then come back right?

You suck sons of.... Haven't we suffered enough!?

Suffering is the truth, and the truth is the way!

 

[93gilmour93]

We appreciate you Knies

 

[Hale The Villain]

Sold high? For a 4th line grinder?

Don't forget they also got a prospect with 2 points in 30 games and a bad backup that costs 3M for 3 more years.

 

[nturn06]

The Leafs look unstopable, when they get 4-5 weak PPs in a game.

 

[Chainshot]

Knies down like Sam Bennett is in the house.

 

[Summer Rose]

We appreciate you Knies

Huge block by him. Talk about sacrificing the body.

 

[SwissLeaf]

Getting a little ahead of ourselves are we?

It's 3:30, I'm allowed to be ahead of myself.

 

[Matt24]

Hard to not like Knies.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Broken hand?

 

[The Management]

Oof, that hurt.

Leafs have been doing a good job blocking shots tonight.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

Couldn't pay me enough to eat NHL caliber slappers.

Props to Knies.
