GDT: Game #33 Dec. 29 Toronto @ Columbus

[Stephen]

Fantilli is such a crybaby, I've never not seen this kid whining after a whistle.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

I'm doing it remotely. Sorry.

Well, have you tried unplugging the controller then plugging it back in??

 

[fahad203]

There's no way you can go into playoffs with this D
Brodie is done
Gio cannot play 3 games a week
Lilly really hasn't taken his game to next level
McCabe is very hit and miss

 

[Stephen]

Because the majority of goalies, NHL or otherwise, don't stop those.

Sorry to interrupt the party.

You see the pop fly he lost track of in centerfield?

needs to be roughed up

 

[HamiltonNHL]

It's just absurd at this point that Samsonov is still in the NHL

Jones is the backup now, unless he struggles then Sammy won’t get that many more starts.

 

[Legion34]

Why would management dictate who the goalie is?

Because the gm decides who makes the roster.

He would have to send Sammy down

 

[All Mod Cons]

They dictate which goalies are on the roster. It’s a back to back. Martin Jones isn’t playing two games in two nights.

I’m pretty sure Keefe has already expressed to Brad he can’t trust him. But unless Brad sends him down or trades him what is Keefe supposed to do? Martin isn’t a guy you can play 5 games in a row including a back go back. Sammy has to play

What makes you think Keefe has expressed to Brad he can't trust him? Where is this coming from? Because Dubas and Keefe loved Sammy.

 

[TMLegend]

Even if you transported Samsonov back to the 80's, he would still be a below average goaltender by save percentage. That's how bad he's been.

 

[JL17]

How do the Leafs continually get 2 defensemen stuck behind the net??

 

[DarkKnight]

Way to stick up for your can't fight his own battles wimp.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

So we need 3 D, 2 of whom can play in the top 4?

 

[saffronleaf]

ouch benoit got rekt

 

[fahad203]

Good on Benoit to go for it
But this is what I appreciate about Grubanson, stepping up for rookie

Good old boys

 

[LeafParade]

How do the Leafs continually get 2 defensemen stuck behind the net??

It's a special talent

 

[PanniniClaus]

That's what Gudbrandson gets paid to do. We are supposed to have Reaves on the end of the bench for this but alas..

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Benoit needs to never leave this lineup.

 

[Burnie97]

Fantilli yelling from the bench. f*** off lol. Someone go hit the kid again.

Good for Benoit.

 

[JKG33]

It's just absurd at this point that Samsonov is still in the NHL

Imagine wanting him as this team's starter

 

[Cleetus]

we need Mr. Miyagi to go to work on Woll's ankle

 

[notbias]

I've seen Fantilli talk a lot and just hide, I think he's going to get a wake-up call one day.

 

[horner]

HIt's just absurd at this point that Samsonov is still in the NHL

Sammy has not played but or defensive coverage sucks as well.
Mo has the puck gets pressured and gives it up.
McCabe and Benoit fumbles there pass and give it up.
This is not playoff defence at all.

Maybe I'd rather leave him; this D is a pile as well, to be fair.

 

[saffronleaf]

beat up fantilly

 

[weems]

ouch benoit got rekt

Good on him for actually stepping up there.

Gudbrannson is one of the tougher guys left in the league.

 

[Stephen]

Gudbranson's picking fights over icing calls now?
