GDT: Hurricanes @ Leafs - Battle of the Goaltending titans

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Yeah I’m sure getting a stick in the hands caused you to fall you f***ing diver.

 

[Jojalu]

At that point Knies might as well punch him on the way down to earn the 2

 

[LastOne2100]

That should've been called a dive.

NHL is getting pathetic at this - feel contact and fall on purpose.

 

[LaPlante94]

It has been 7:15 puck drop on HNIC for about 20 years now, this isn't new.

Really? Is it just HNIC? I never really payed attention too much for the longest time and I know it's gonna start later than 7 but it's just one of those very tiny thigs that annoys you.

 

[notbias]

Shinny it is. I do agree that what ever they are told to do they need to do it or be held accountable.
i hope Keefe starts holding. all of them accountable when needed

This is the first time he really can... haven't had a lot of extra players on the roster the last few years.

We will see how it goes.

 

[Cleetus]

of course Bunting

 

[MSZ]

Michael Jordan Bunting

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Of course…

 

[DarkKnight]

I really miss Bunting to be honest.

 

[93gilmour93]

Of course Bunting gets it

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I miss Bunting. He was a really good player. And of course, he's magically loved by the refs again now that he's out of Toronto

 

[Rare Jewel]

Pretty sure deployment has very little effect on xGF or GF from what I remember reading years ago, would love to know if I am wrong though.

Just giving you the only fair comparison, two linemates that are the same, Holmberg performed a lot better.

Staring nearer to the opposition's net more often usually makes it easier to accumulate better offensive metrics.

But as a defensive idea, it still doesn't wash.

 

[Griffin76]

Samsonov should've had that one...

 

[34]

Game over

 

[mikeyz]

Was there ever a doubt that Bunting was going to score in this game? LOL

 

[Smif]

Hey Benoit, they can't score from behind the net, don't leave the front net coverage for that guy.

 

[HockeyVirus]

I miss Bunting. He was a really good player. And of course, he's magically loved by the refs again now that he's out of Toronto

Suspiciously you never hear him mentioned on the main boards anymore either...

 

[MSZ]

Really? Is it just HNIC? I never really payed attention too much for the longest time and I know it's gonna start later than 7 but it's just one of those very tiny thigs that annoys you.

Just Saturday nights, it's usually 7:08 puck drop otherwise.

 

[DarkKnight]

McMann is on pace for as bad a plus minus as Reaves on the fourth line. Interesting.

 

[Racer88]

Of course its Bunting

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Glad we got what was the most obvious event that was going to happen out of the way. now onto the game!

 

[BayStBullies]

The Leafs clearly need to learn to dive or move to the US.

 

[acrobaticgoalie]

As per usual, the Leafs D leaves a guy alone in front of the goalie

 

[HellasLEAF]

Bunting right down broadway lol!

 

[MoreMogilny]

We are so mediocre it’s incredible
