GDT: GAME #49 | LEAFS @ HABS | WED, APR 28 @8PM EST | SPORTSNET

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Montreal's defense is nothing but crosschecks and holding. Petry's good but the others.

They’re too slow to do anything else.

 

[2 Slick]

JT with he good penalty draw. It's ok to like JT again, right?

I think so. I gave him lots of crap the first half of the season. Wish he played like this all season, but no matter.

 

[keonsbitterness]

They had some nice vets though in the beginning
Speaking of them
Chief Neilson just passed on

RIP

Back then there was him, George Armstrong and Johnny Bucyk with that nickname.

 

[Dangles McGavin]

Whenever I see players complain about penalties that they clearly committed, it makes me not want to watch hockey. We've all had those run-ins with delusional bozos and it's just like.... man... can you not.

 

[Stephen]

Petry is so salty. Gets beat on the rush by Tavares, bear hugs, the resorts to a wrestling move and then complains to the ref. Make better choices in free agency man.

 

[KaberLeaf]

Wish Galchenyuk could get one vs Montreal.

Perhaps he’s saving them for when we meet in the playoffs

 

[saffronleaf]

I love that Petry was attempting to argue that..literally bare hugged Tavares lol

that was some dead puck era ish

 

[TMLeafer]

Get to 40 Matty

 

[djdev]

His strength doesn't get talked about much.

almost all his highlight reel plays in his career are him holding onto the puck in super difficult situations, its impressive when he goes vintage JT

 

[Leafsfan74]

2nd line a bit quite tonight
Galch looking like he doesn’t want to start in the playoffs
Needs to sit for one game

Gally drew a penalty and took one. He is fading it seems, the initial adrenaline rush isn't there.

I try and have faith in a player, because we've seen his potential, and, the team is winning. That's key for me. The Galchenyuk we saw the first 5-6 games can be a difference maker for any team in the post-season. I hope he can return to that.

As it were, I see a toss up between he and Mik for the third line when Hyman comes back. I would still lean Gally, as long as he plays two ways as he can finish at times, and, he has an edge from time to time. That is how I would set up the lines. I think Leafs need to have Hyman and Foligno in the top two, but it's difficult to see Galchenyuk further down, he loses some of his effectiveness.

I can see why teams get frustrated. He could really set himself up well if he just goes for it.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Jeez 3 Tavares shots in 30 seconds

 

[Leaffan1991]

JT is on a mission

 

[Stephen]

Perhaps he’s saving them for when we meet in the playoffs

Series winning goal in Game 4 hopefully.

 

[Griffin76]

They're really trying to keep Tavares on his hot streak.

 

[saffronleaf]

woww great shot JT

 

[keonsbitterness]

Tavares is angry, my friends!

 

[TMLeafer]

Loving this version of JT

 

[djdev]

ye, the PP is back..thank god!!!

 

[Teeder Keon]

RIP

Back then there was him, George Armstrong and Johnny Bucyk with that nickname.

And this one late at night

 

[Menzinger]

The power play looks so much better tonight. They're actually shooting!

 

[Leaf4Life79]

PP is looking very good tonight!!!

 

[Sniper99]

holy shit what did they do to this PP? they're actually shooting and getting some clear shots on net.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

Call that line the Generational Line because Brooks looks like he is playing with his Dad and Grandpa.

 

[binop7]

Why is matthews on his off side on the half wall. He should play the OV role on every power play

 

[Stephen]

that was some dead puck era ish

This whole team is trying to be the 96 Panthers or something.
