GDT: Game 2 - The Comeback Story - Leafs vs Lightning 7pm EST - SN, ESPN, CBC, TVAS, BSUN

[MSZ]

McCabe (of the Bryan variety) makes sense. Hoglund not so much lol

Hoglund only had 4 goals in the entire playoff run that year. Two in the same game.

 

[Confucius]

That last “hand pass” is a simple example of messed up officiating. Very clear that kerfoot tapped it with his stick after his hand was used. Linesman has a clear view and he’s 15ft away. And he calls it a hand pass? To me that’s instinct. Based on bias.

Yep, classic see what you want to see, hear what you want to hear

The factor....the cookie...we need something for Knies...these three have been impressive. I think we found our third line for the rest of the series.

For the rest of the playoffs!!

 

[Teeder Keon]

THIS is what this team has needed. Depth that can actually push the play and contribute

Excellent take

 

[diceman934]

This is the best game Morgan Reilly has EVER played and I've seen about 95% of them.

Not true he plays lot of games the same tonight he is getting points is all. Steps up in the playoffs always

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Its insane to me these are the same two teams playing essentially.

Hoglund who was attached to Mats line, coudln't get a job as a third liner after he left the leafs

Of course 3 great centres are better than 2 especially in the playoffs
Duhhhhhhhh
Dumbass Koala
We need to win , even with dumb pinky and the brain coaching

omg how is this not so obvious to the coaching staff? I mean it's literally what every person on this board thought would be the plan when they acquired O'Reilly.

Even without Knies this should have been the plan from the get-go.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

Or New Jersey. I'd let Kerfoot walk and keep Bunts at a team friendly number. Bunts, Knies, Jarnkrok and ZAR on the left side is not bad.

at this point i find him a liability and i can see someone offering him 3+ as a ufa so it wont be us

Seemed like the least nervous of the core before the game

TB is missing a key ref tonight

 

[PromisedLand]

O'Reilly is excellent

Love that he plays the body especially instead of stupid pokechecks. he separated Paul so many times from the puck by playing body and getting the possession of the puck

Yup. He had a shaky couple months after a bad knee injury but he's always been this player

Area code 306 represent!

I am from Regina as well but down in Mesa watching

It’s just part of bipolar leaf nation

 

[djdev]

to be fair, they are missing their top 2 dmen, so its not really. but you dont ask how..only how many wehn it comes to wins

 

[trellaine201]

Just got home. Who is that guy on the sportsnet panel? I don’t recognize him. Thanks

Hated Hoglund with the same disdain as I gave for 47 and 3

That's why sports is the truest reality show. So unpredictable.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

O'rielly is such a difference maker on this team compared to last year. They can't match up with him without creating a mismatch somewhere else

 

[fahad203]

Was thinking of getting a new TV as something seemed off with picture quality
Turns out I had the brightness to really really low all these months

Bizarre
I’ll say it again
He outsmarts himself …
