GDT: GAME #16 | SENATORS @ LEAFS | RETURN OF JUMBO JOE | 7PM EST TSN

[leaffaninvancouver]

I don't think I can remember a player that gets as much irrational hatred.

Tyler Bozak got an insane amount of grief for things entirely out of his control.

 

[Sypher04]

I think the issue with Nylander and Tavares this season is Tavares cannot keep pace with Nylander and starts so much deeper on breakout than Willy. So Nylander hits the line with speed and has no one with him, so instead of pushing forward and losing the puck he circles back to maintain control and wait for help to arrive and people perceive that as him not being aggressive enough when it's probably just him trying to manage the puck well and not cause turnovers

 

[saltming]

He was tired, it was the end of his shift, some of you guys are just...wow.

It's confirmation bias.
I'm sure none of the Willie detractors say the backcountry and him bidding the send player of the puck

 

[Raging Bull]

Finally. Interference on Holl.

 

[saffronleaf]

A Dallas home game cancelled due to snow???

They hit something like -15 degrees celsius! That's not that out of the blue for us but pretty stunning for Texas.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Ottawa could have had 3 penalties on that shift

 

[The Examiner]

Wow. A penalty. Which one, I wonder.

 

[MattySnipes]

Willy’s needs on be benched. SEnd a message.
Literally jumped away from the check.

No need for him to purposely take a hit. He got the pass away too.

 

[Bigmarycombo]

Should have benched Vesey and put in sabourin

 

[bpower]

I should hope so after missing the blatant cross-check.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

So penalties do exist?

 

[Sniper99]

Lol ripping on Nylander...he was out for over a minute and no one wants to get caught when the fast break goes the other way.

haters be like "but hes an overpaid athlete he should be able to play a full 20 mins"

 

[Bellefour20]

How are the shots so close?

 

[hamzarocks]

Man people are acting like we are down 4-1 versus the sens right now

 

[klmdg]

Ottawa's 20th penalty of game. Leafs get their 1st PP.

 

[Warden of the North]

A Dallas home game cancelled due to snow???

The whole state is experiencing massive power outages and gas line (heat) freezing issues

 

[tmlms13]

Wow Willy look like you give a shit out there eh

Nice bail on that one Willy

Wow, I don't Nylander could honestly give less of a f***. Holy shit. Time to just bench or scratch him and send a message. Unacceptable man.

Wow... not on the tape so Will packs it in. More and more unlikable with each passing game.

He had been on the ice for like 1:30 was probably completely gassed

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Maybe JT scores the only way he knows how here

 

[The Beyonder]

He was tired, it was the end of his shift, some of you guys are just...wow.

Didn't realize he was at an end of a shift. But this is just conducive of the kind of the effort that plagues his game. My bad if he was on a long shift and I missed it, but this isn't just a one shift or one game thing. The guy has the skill to be an elite player, just doesn't have the effort level of guys like Marner or Matthews.

 

[Future]

I don't think I can remember a player that gets as much irrational hatred.

It’s ridiculous. Really wish they’d pick a new team to cheer for because it is extremely annoying.

 

[NoName]

Leafs beating up a bottom-feeder like they should be. Nothing to see here.

 

[MattySnipes]

It took 37 mins to get 1 PP

 

[LeafsFan89]

Been loving this "extra PP time" we get on an incoming PP.

Really an improvement from last year.

 

[TMLeafer]

Ignored the crosscheck earlier

Yeah, I said a similar thing on Saturday.
