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

I thought Brady was supposed to chokeslam everyone and score 3 goals a game?

 

[TheImpatientBoomer]

Toronto better get their shit together in the neutral zone

Ottawa will start skating at some point

Ottawa gave up 2 goals not controlling the NZ so both teams have adjustments to make.

 

[TotalHomer]

What?

Yes

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

I don’t get Sportsnet’s obsession with Derek Lalonde

They like their Mini Mees....

That's Bennett.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Sens finally started to settle down at the end of the 1st. We'll now see the real series in the 2nd.

The Leafs had a meh period and are still up 2 to 1. I wouldnt read into things to much lol.

Someone in programming thinks P.K Subban is the next Barkley and he's not. He sucks. He's not entertaining and doesnt really bring any knowledge to the table.

 

[Cheapseats]

Leafs are playing a bottom seed. They will certainly dispatch the Sens, even with him. But Will will need to be in net for them to get past better teams in round two and on.

Dude it’s the playoffs, Leafs wouldn’t be safe playing a pack of bus drivers. Have you seen these guys in action? It’s a masterpiece of collapse. One game at a time, 1967 forever.

 

[ToDavid]

A lot of people looking to hard at the shot clock.

Merely recalling that just two seasons ago, Florida was WC2 in the East and made it to the SCF.

I think the atmosphere is coming across just fine on TV.

Out of the 4 games that were played so far, this building is by FAR the worst

Mess already looks like a 60 year old woman who does a bit too much jazzercize.

Thank you years 2010-2025

I think this series will be more even money than folks want to think or feel, just matters who shows up and gets it done.

 

[RedHawkDown]

Ottawa sucks

 

[Strangle]

So many athletes gain huge weight after they retire, they struggle with that transition

If you’re burning 7,000 calories a day and never have to learn nutrition it happens pretty quickly once you stop being active.

All the booze doesn’t help either. Tkachuk looks like a liquor guy

Does this mean that Keith Tkachuk is doomed to eventually eat himself to death?

wasn't it the leafs who lost to a mall guard playing goalie? Could be wrong.

Poor Keith got Tkachuk'd

I wasn't talking about transitional plays through the neutral zone I was talking about the choppiness and sloppiness while in the neutral zone

I mean one was a breakaway pass from inside the zone

Matthews and Marner showed up in the first

 

[Oilslick941611]

And people say Marner doesn't show up in the playoffs.

lets be realistic, his goal was just as much a fault on Ottawa's non existent defense as it was him doing anything spectacular.

Still early though. Toronto didn't look great outside a few moments. Ottawa carried the play for sure. Toronto can't feel good about that period and will probably come out stronger for the second.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

Levy and Messier are so f***ing smug. Ugh. I just don't want to see these guys

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Sens seemed to lose the jitters late in the period. Hopefully they can continue that in the second pd. Can't make too many big mistakes against the Leafs.

He already had a habit of coming into camp heavy. So, I say, let him enjoy getting old
