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

[Filthy Dangles]

Matthews sniping uklmark would be icing for tor

Get all their top guys goals and feeling it early on in the series

Matthews has been great regardless tho in this game

 

[TheOrganist]

It’ll make a difference avoiding Boston/Tampa in Round 1. The big guys might be able to get in a rhythm unlike in past years.

 

[93gilmour93]

How will the Leafs handle Brady Tkachuk?

 

[Kennerback]

4 goals difference with 4 minutes left. This could get ugly.

 

[Ignatius]

So Ottawa can't win but they're going to try to injure every honorable Leafs player, what dirtbags

 

[Coffee]

Why at home? I bet it will be 80% Leaf fans

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

 

[Leafidelity]

Sens outshooting them by 40% despite being shorthanded half the game

Half of them being muffins from 20ft out

 

[Bileur]

This isn't playoff hockey

Agreed. It looks like the preseason when they’re « trying to emphasize new calls »

 

[thebestnic]

Greig with the Kreider impersonation

 

[CrashOut]

Greig with the Kreider strategy.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

This isn't playoff hockey

These 4 games so far have been soo boring.....

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Sens are making dumb plays. Sure I can see a missed call the other way but most of the Sens penalties are deserved.

There were a couple weak calls for sure, but there were at.least 3 within a few meters of the leafs goal and those were all deserved.

You can not take penalties like that and expect to win in the playoffs

The reffing hasn't been great, but that's not why the sens lost this game.

What have the Leafs been focusing on for 58 years?

 

[Pablo El Perro]

The funniest part is the sens took all these pens without even really imposing their physical presence , they were just all dumb pens lol should have took runs at players if you were gonna put up pens all game , just a wasted game good on Toronto for making them pay

Some were pretty meh, considering what has not been called.

 

[Summer Rose]

Agreed. It looks like the preseason when they’re « trying to emphasize new calls »

Oh man, that reminds me of the year they tried cracking down on faceoff violations resulting in me seeing a bunch of penalties for a double faceoff violation in the preseason.

 

[Hank Plank]

Sens have gone full caveman.

 

[notbias]

That looked fairly intentional on Grieg's part..

 

[winnipegger]

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

 

[Leafidelity]

Scumbag Grieg runs the goalie, shocking stuff

 

[Sensin5]

Wait a minute here - are they going to make Toronto play at even strength for a bit?

Wait.... nope.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Why trip the man into your own goalie?

 

[Pablo El Perro]

These 4 games so far have been soo boring.....

Fortunately the Cats don't play until Tuesday

 

[A1LeafNation]

Nah a lot of these penalties were weak. Then even weak compared to typical playoff officiating

This is typical early series officiating. Usually whistles goes away later in the series.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Good call. No complaints

 

[Matt24]

Grieg probably gonna do a thing in this series that leads to a suspension. Just not sure if it’ll be him or a Leaf retailing that gets the suspension.
