GDT: HNIC - Time to boogie | The Dance off Edition | Leafs @ Penguins | 7 p.m. EST

[Apex Predator]

Honestly the Pens should win this game. We're missing 3/4 of our top 4 dmen and playing an AHL goalie and 2 AHL dmen due to injuries.

That’s what I thought going into the devils and wild game even with Murray in net.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

If nothing else keep Malkin off the scoresheet. Something about him having success against us really pisses me off. Kuznetsov is another one.

 

[HockeyVirus]

He has warts but this is a guy underrated by Leaf fans and severely underrated by non leaf fans. He's a solid 2nd pairing guy most of the time

 

[Doublerum1975]

Why does he keep playing around with a winning lineup it pisses me off if its not broke don't fix it

 

[Burnie97]

As the great man once said....

Penguins are riding a 5 game winning streak. Dancing with joy

Leafs bringing in their own moves to challenge the penguins

First in points
Pens: Sid 28 points; Leafs: Marner, Tavares 25 points

Tavares and Mitch duel to see who will take on Sid in the dance off

Dance off #1 - Crosby Vs Marner

Dance off #2 - Malkin Vs Nylander

Dance off #3 Letang Vs Liljegren

And the winner is.......



P.S. We need you Matthews. Please get going bruh

Lol awesome GDT. Probably a tough one to win but doable. As someone else was saying... very streaky team (Pens).

Leafs stick to their team D and try to keep down the shots in general and especially high danger chances they have a shot.

I think they need at least 4 tonight to win.

Robertson>Engvall. And this “he penalty kills”, he’s on the third forward unit, as bit a player as possible. Why does this guy remain in the lineup, while other guys in and out. Heck, I’d say Malgin deserves to stay in over him as well.

If you read about most défense men. Their fanbase is their hardest critics. We see each game whenever they have a gaffe or a brain dead play.

I remember LA Muzzin haters were saying good luck leafs, he has dumbass plays sometimes. But he’s a shutdown D for us 90% of the time.

Great job on these stats
I must admit , it’s great to see this .
I will try to watch him with a keener and more objective eye .
Thank you
I am guilty of zeroing in a bit much after watching our great Leafs for over 60! Years

Give Steeves and or Anderson a try

 

[Stonehands 1]

Go Leafs Go, just win, just play hockey, no figure skating

 

[Teeder Keon]

Wouldn’t it be great to get a win here tonight …
Let’s do it
I’m a believer

Matches my eye test, I was giving him credit for really improved play of late. Nice to see, we sure need it.

[Stonehands 1]

Ya i can give holl credit for the last 10 games

 

[Fogelhund]

Timmins is on the ice for warmups.

 

[Burnie97]

No surprises



Nice

 

[Griffin76]

I'm actually getting pretty tired of the betting segments. The betting commercials were bad enough. They push push push to bet and then say to play within your limits.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Literally
5 of the softest players in the history of hockey playing in our bottom 6 tonight

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Expecting an L, hoping for a point, wanting a W.

Not gonna let it bother me either way. Saturday night here we go, have fun and Go Leafs Go!

[Teeder Keon]

When did SN hire Rick Astly

 

[DarkKnight]

Nice to hear them acknowledging Marner always plays with maximum effort, regardless of results. That’s why the guy gets a long leash with me. Also why former players love his game.

Hey I have a different take on this shit.

I used to LOVE firing up Pokerstars and playing FREE poker, maybe chatting with someone from the other side of the planet.

Now there is NO free poker out there that I can find.

And yeah, the betting commercials are beyond ridiculous. Just outright have at it with advertising for addiction and lose everything financially, and I can't play for free anymore (so I just don't play)

They should just show a toilet and someone throwing their money in there, because that's where it eventually goes.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Dubas style

I’m so ok with Dubas and Shanny and Coach K
Except for the way they’ve misjudged willingly the fact that you need a mixture of players
It’s baffling especially with Shanny
I hope they remedy this finally for the playoffs

you think two of Holmberg, ZAR and Kampf are some of the softest players in the history of hockey?
