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

[Fonzieleaf]

Marner sporting the Craig Button face lol

 

[mikeyz]

Are you f***ing kidding me? Holtby literally pulled the puck out of the mesh of the inside side of the net.

How the f*** is that not a goal???

 

[Alerion]

On the ice level angle you can see it go behind the post inside the net, and then it disappears down into his equipment. Very obviously in but no conclusive camera angle staring right at it in the net, and Holtby slides himself out of the net to say "see it's not in."

 

[The Examiner]

I’d start Matthews, Nylander, and Marner.

 

[Sypher04]

But the problems we're seeing are the precise things that prevented the leafs from winning playoff series over the past few post-seasons.

There's a legitimate cause for concern.

Sure. Cause for concern is a far cry from fire Keefe though

 

[Man Bear Pig]

If Matthews scores in OT he needs to do the pointing celebration.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Thornton was advertised as this big experienced leader with meanness etc. Galchenyuk was getting crosschecked multiple times by Pearson after the whistle and he just skated by. It’s no wonder the Sharks got their lunch stolen by the Kings and Ducks virtually every year.

Agreed, man!

 

[rdogg]

Time for the Marner turnover in OT to win Vancouver the game

 

[Leaftors]

You have to wonder why they don’t put cameras in the posts

 

[fahad203]

I don't give a ratts *$($ about the game

So nobody went after Canucks?

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

We going to overtime? Help a guy out!

 

[Wafflewhipper]

That’s gross that was in.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

Hughson describes just about everything the Leafs do in the most negative way you could describe something, down to the most trivial plays. It's annoying unless you turn it into a drinking game.

 

[francis246]

Leafs don't deserve to get that call tonight. Period...

They should have scored 7-8 goals in regulation.

I don’t understand this don’t deserve bullshit. An element to scoring is doing everything right and getting lucky that the puck goes in. They completely dominated Vancouver tonight and the puck trickled away or hit the post many times.

 

[wingman75]

Can't you see the puck at the very end? I could have sworn you could

Certain I saw it on the overhead, roll in and his left pad swung around and knocked it back, but it was in. Couldn't see the line etc etc. Whatever.

 

[Mats13]

Takes common sense to know that puck is in

Stupid league

 

[TorontoTrades]

So if the goalie is in the net and you cant see the puck outside the net we just have to magically assume the puck is not in. Makes perfect sense.

Welcome to the NHL. This is not new. If the call on this ice is no goal and you never actually see it then it stays no goal.

Dont act like this is against Toronto it's the same call across the board.

 

[mcleafs]

It was a goal but that was still the right call.

The NHL in a sentence if I’ve ever seen it.

 

[Cecithepylon]

Do not have Riley play ot I swear to god

 

[Leaftors]

Thornton was advertised as this big experienced leader with meanness etc. Galchenyuk was getting crosschecked multiple times by Pearson after the whistle and he just skated by. It’s no wonder the Sharks got their lunch stolen by the Kings and Ducks virtually every year.

Thornton sucker punched a goalie.

 

[dfunk]

I’d start Matthews, Nylander, and Marner.

That’d be fun

 

[SprDaVE]

This seems to be the story on most nights, lately.

Not really lately but yeah, when you play well things tend to go in your favour... sometimes it doesn't.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Hughson's bar for praising Canucks players is pathetically low. Sutter not letting Spezza shoot off the faceoff is apparently brilliant veteran savvy

 

[The Big Swede13]

Hopefully Marner doesnt just give away possession with a stupid giveaway

 

[TMLeafer]

That was in, NHL lack of goal line technology folks.
