GDT: GAME #45 | LEAFS @ CANUCKS | SUN APR 18 7PM EST | SPORTSNET

Whoa, just caught the new D pairing...

I don’t like the D switch. Brodie needs to be top pairing and max minutes

I don't mind it if its purpose is to test/figure-out & build chemistry on, now rather than later, line/pairing variations that they might see in the playoffs; whether it's because of somebody going down or a pairing not working.

I wasn't impressed with the Muzzin-Holl pairing last game so now seems like the ideal time for it.

Don't like the Rielly- Holl pairing.. hoping I'm wrong

 

[WillTheThrill]

No excuses to not blow these guys out tonight

I like trying Holl and Reilly. Next year I'd want Brodie with Sandin/Muzzin with Liljegren. The rookies will need veteran partners. I expect to lose Dermott in the expansion draft.

I think that once again it all comes down to Matthews’ wrist.

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Underrated part of TSN broadcasts is that we just get right to it when it comes to the game. No pageantry, no pomp and circumstance, hell don’t even get the anthem. Just drop the damn puck and get on with it.

 

[MattySnipes]

I'm expecting matthews to get to 40 tonight

 

[Scion]

Anything less than absolute domination will be a disappointment. It will be interesting to see if the Canucks come out with their usual set up or try and trap.

[Super Mega]

Muzzin - Brodie - great 1st pair
Rielly - Holl - great 2nd pair

 

[DarkKnight]

So special.

TSN doesn't control these pregame ceremonies?

 

[rdogg]

This sportsnet broadcast is lame. Just start the damn game

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

This has been 5 minutes for this guy, Christ.

 

[SoftDumpNtheCorner88]

.... Guys daughter is fire. Damn!

 

[Gallagbi]

Interested to see the D pairs (like everyone else).

Muzzin - Holl have struggled with speed lately and our top pair had an abundance

Maybe just trying a true shut-down pair. It is a good time to test it

 

[DarkKnight]

I could watch this forever.

 

[Diver3368]

Great start so far

 

[hamzarocks]

Well I liked seeing some former Canucks

Didnt realize but young Bure kind of looked like Elon Musk lol

 

[Leafs87]

They couldn’t do this in the locker room?
My god what a waste of time. Drop tfing puck already

 

[Teeder Keon]

That was a ploy against us

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Not saying they do. But it never happens with regional broadcasts from them.

Regardless it’s now past 10 after 7 and still no game.

 

[DarkKnight]

Geez all the Canuck players will be cleared by the time this starts.
