GDT: HNIC | Börje "The King" Salming Appreciation Night | Leafs Vs Canucks | 7 p.m. EST

[notDatsyuk]

I don't understand the point in playing Krallgren again, back to back on the goalies are always almost a poor showing, and it's not like hes been putting up quality stats game in and game out.

Anyways, here's hoping they come to play today and get a win, need to start collecting more points.

Because the other option is playing Petruzzelli (which I wouldn't mind), who is 8th (? - I've lost count) on our depth (shallows?) chart.

 

[ITM]

Leafs Nation stands with you Börje Salming.
You are a LEGEND.
We LOVE YOU!
Prayers and well wishes to you from all of us

Some Key Notes:
Mikheyev makes his first official return after signing as a UFA with the Canucks. Expected tribue and hattrick for Ilya tonight.

Tensions ensue in the Leafs nation regarding on ice play, goalie conondrums, Coaching stubbornness and Fans frustration.

Two teams set to battle tonight where fanbase is up in arms about on ice results

But....

Tonight its about Börje Salming and we hope that the boys show up to play and display the respect with their on ice play for Börje.

GLG

​

First GDT thread opener I’ve commented on; Pure class. Thanks for putting in the work.

If Borje Salming can’t inject some sort of resurrection fire into the spine of this club…

GLG.

 

[Cleetus]

hopefully the leafs put in as much effort as promisedland put in this GDT.....

 

[DragoGrizzly]

Great GDT opener. Love the respect. I wear 21 as my jersey because of this man. So freaking tough. Seeing Sitler and Sundin tearing up beside him was a beautiful but heartbreaking moment last night. Hopefully the fans respond in kind again tonight. Also hope the Leafs turn it around again! Looking for a big night from the big guns!

What's it going to take to wake the dead? This team has been lifeless for the better part of 15 games now. Little blips, quickly washed out with shift after shift of nothingness.

Does this group have the intestinal fortitude to play with some sort of emotion for a full 60 minutes?

If the game dips into a lifeless lull, I hope Keefe quickly shakes things up. The status quo is unacceptable.

 

[Racer88]

Great GDT

 

[Leaf Rocket]

If you look at the numbers of Kallgren yes its shitty but our team has actually been utter garbage in front him.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

At least we face Martin. You just know this would've been the game Demko pulled his head out of his ass.

 

[Rude Dog]

I will be there to salute Salming. The legend is unfortunately as human as the rest of us.

Or the exact opposite...hometown boy plays out of his mind.

At the game tonight ... right on Nice. Great one to be at. Jealous. Been years.

I'd have a better chance waiting for them to play the Sens so it's not so crazy expensive.

 

[DarkKnight]

The Leafiest thing ever, Kallgren gets hurt and Keefe gets lambasted all next week.

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

Keefe keeps making baffling decisions to give the impression that he's clever instead of just out of good ideas.

Other teams would EXPECT good ideas. So they’ll never see this coming.

 

[Anthrax442]

We were gonna see Petro tonite, what a gyp!

 

[egd27]

If they lay an egg on the night the organization honours an ailing legend, the whole lot of them should pack their bags.

 

[Stephen]

At least we face Martin. You just know this would've been the game Demko pulled his head out of his ass.

Knowing the WWE script that is the Toronto Maple Leafs, Oakville boy Spencer Martin is going to play a helluva game and we're going to hear about how we need to trade for Martin as a platoon goalie for the next 2.5 years before it actually happens.

 

[Cleetus]

any chance for a live thread ?

 

[Da Cool Rula]

We were gonna see Petro tonite, what a gyp!

You may still get your wish. Kalgrin is starting and we know what he gives....

Truly believe the coache's shelf life/best before date has gone long past.

 

[Buds17]

Win this for Borje...Welcome back, Soup...GLG...Win for Borje!

 

[Leaf Rocket]

i dunno who this lady is in the cbc desk but i just can't stand her takes... i dunno why

 

[Stonehands 1]

Go Leafs Go, just win, do it for borga

 

[Anthrax442]

i dunno who this lady is in the cbc desk but i just can't stand her takes... i dunno why

The one with ha giant neck?

 

[Mickey Marner]

Cheryl Pounder is much better. Like everything else hockey related, TSN wipes the floor with Sportsnet.

 

[Gabriel426]

Just wish the boys would just come out and do it for Salming. Have a feeling Demko will play his best game but as long as they come out and play hard. I am good with that.
If they are flat from the start and just don’t compete. Trade them bc it shows they have nothing inside that drive them to be better.
