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

[KaprizovSaveUs]

My takeaway from all of the games so far is that the refs are not swallowing their whistles this year.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Why are the Sens so undisciplined...

Overflow of energy on a young team playing their first postseason game. They really aren't a bad team 5 on 5 and are causing the Leafs a lot of trouble with their forecheck but there's certainly a lesson to be learned here for the Sens. The great news for the Leafs is their top guys are getting on the scoreboard early on and look like the star players they should be.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Surely a little fight no? lol what is this emotionless game I was sold on a real battle of Ontario here!!!!

 

[Svencouver]

Greig did that on purpose

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Being disciplined was the difference in this game. No stupid offensive cross checks.

The difference was how the game was officiated changing a 2 to 1 game into a 4 to 1 game. However Ottawa PK is a disgrace. Since then it has been comfortable for Toronto. This Toronto PP is going to win the series at this rate.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

How will the Leafs handle Brady Tkachuk?

3 more wins needed and possible 6
More games to go

Don’t thump too early

 

[SwissLeaf]

Sens are gonna be tough at home could be a homer series settling 7 at home.

Who's at home in Kanata though?

 

[Chainshot]

I hate when guys drop and it's both legs flying up. That's not a trip as much as a sales job.

 

[Matt24]

Greig did that on purpose

Of course he did lol

 

[JeffP]

espn is pretty horned up for the leafs
kind of gross to hear it

My takeaway from all of the games so far is that the refs are not swallowing their whistles this year.

They never do...

Only in crucial moments when they don't want to influence the games, so they influence the games by allowing everything

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

What have the Leafs been focusing on for 58 years?

 

[The Management]

That pass between Stutzle and Sanderson pretty much summarizes their games tonight.

 

[holy]

"Stutzle slapped his butt-" ayooo

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Doesn’t matter. Sens on home field is coming and the Leafs will pay

I hate to break this to you but the games in Ottawa are going to be 80% Leafs fans.

 

[Coffee]

When I took marner in my pool I thought to myself "I'm either a genius or a fool". Looking good.

You already know the areas you’re a fool at, so not bringing that up. But you definitely have genius in you, I’ve seen it and that Marner pick supports argument


Nice call

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

Almost made it through the whole game without a Stutzl dive.

 

[Do or Die]

Have to have D and PK in the playoffs. Ottawa complete failure at both.....

 

[JKG33]

Leafs player trips a guy on a partial breakaway and complain when he slides into the goalie? Lmfao

 

[Auston Marlander]

Only against this ref

Ah yes, the ref highsticked Laughton in the face and cross checked Tavares in the neck.

 

[ddlennon]

leafs in 5 ez

Eh, by game three it will be ice rugby again.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I certainly expected this to be the premium game of the night. We will see what Vegas can do...

Idk I disagree. In years past they don’t call anything ever.
