GDT: Game #33 Dec. 29 Toronto @ Columbus

Brodie had the puck, loses the puck

Can we stop mentioning Hildeby? 99% of people name dropping him probably haven't even watched a game of his.

The kid has <20GP in North America and was drafted less than 2 years ago. He'll have one bad game, people will call him trash and then move on to the next name.

If we can run Kallgren for two seasons, we can give the kid a crack. People will have all kinds of time for him.

 

[Knies iT]

He’s a double overager with a ton of pro experience, it’s not the same as an 17 year old getting drafted 2 years ago.

"Ton of pro experience"

2 seasons in SHL: 7GP and 21 GP.

He's 22 with nowhere near enough experience to justify being rushed. Completely stupid.

 

[DarkKnight]

Classy.

 

[saffronleaf]

mrzleakins was sick

 

[Niagara Bill]

I'm not on board with calling up Hildeby. Let him adjust and hopefully play well in the AHL for an extended period before calling him up. Just deal with the Samsonov issue somehow. Sign Halak, or anyone really.

Just remember Ken Dryden...

 

[Mr_Fun]

Nice sell Bobby!

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

McMann is so good, what a drawn penalty

 

[fahad203]

Yeah sure, blame the goalie. Did they mention anything about the defensive breakdowns or the pitiful marking on any of the goals? What is Samsonov supposed to do when players blow their coverage and the opposition has free looks?

What do the meathead analysts think the solution to our goalie problems are? Goalie problems that are experienced by maybe 95 percent of the teams in this league. Is there a Dominik Hasek or Ed Belfour available somewhere?

I am not defending Samsonov either, he has been poor compared to last season, but having the media (that is owned by the team no less) go on constant tirades against this guy is just embarrassing at this point.

Another thing, I am sick and tired of failed former players and management that transitioned into the media constantly bashing this team. What did Kypreos accomplish? O'Neill? Frankie Corrado? Brian Burke? Give me a break. The toxicity around this team makes watching professional hockey unbearable.

I mean to be fair though
Kypreos was part of Stanly Cup team in 94
Oniell did go to the finals
Burke won a Stanly cup

Most anaylsts who work on broadcasting are usually 3rd liners or non all stars

Just saying but good breakdown

 

[saffronleaf]

is fantilly crying about this one too

This is the single most honest statement on this forum.

 

[PromisedLand]

LMAO

 

[All Mod Cons]

The Leafs have to put Sammy on waivers ASAP!

Call up Hildeby and give him spot duty until Woll gets better

I think we are better leaving Hildeby where he is. We're getting in the payoffs and Hildeby won't be on the roster. Let him develop with the Marlies.

 

[tmlms13]

Pretty good acting job to draw that lol.

I'll take it though

 

[keonsbitterness]

Why pass?????

 

[HockeyVirus]

Was that McMann or Stutzle???

 

[PromisedLand]

Willy Should have shot there man

 

[Mr_Fun]

Toxicity sells.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Nylander passing to the ghosts of the past.

 

[saffronleaf]

wtf willy come onnn

Thanks for responding. I edited my post for further clarity. I mean what did they accomplish when they were with the Leafs.

 

[tmlms13]

Of course make up call

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Nylander with a beautiful pass to Casper

 

[saffronleaf]

Why pass?????

no way to explain it. dude's one of the top goal scorers on the team and all alone

Come up with a big save once in awhile. Or is he only expected to make routine saves?
