GDT: Kings @ Leafs - Thursday Dec 8 - 7pm

[dubplatepressure]

I’m shocked that it’s been 12 games without Brodie. Don’t know why it felt shorter.

The wins.

 

[egd27]

No argument, just a response to the team playing well and a poster saying we have nothing to bitch about lately. I provided Kerfoot and Engvall as examples of something we can still bitch about

oh, thought he said nothing to argue about

 

[leafsfan5]

Feels like this one is a loss, I think when we were on a heater last year the team who stopped it was LA when they played us in Toronto

Hope I'm wrong though, we need to keep up with Boston and their stupid pace!

 

[Clark4Ever]

Can't wait till the D-corps is healthy, so they can start resting Gio. Dude really could use a break.

Gio has been incredible the last few weeks. Holl, Sandin and Liljegren have stepped up big time as well.

The fact that Gio has been able to do it at his age is remarkable though. He definitely needs a break.

Agreed.

With a hopeful return to health on Defence and the solid play of our Defensive depth, hopefully Gio can get some rest and load management. Brodie as well, before he was injured.

The man has been beyond belief and will be even more valuable in the playoffs. Minding that he’s 39, there would definitely be merit to resting him whenever possible, and allowing our young D to show what they can do, starting with Timmins.

 

[TheScandal89]

Is Brodie playing LD with Timmins? I thought Brodie does better at RD?

 

[stickty111]

Good to have Brodie back. The depth guys stepped up in a big way, but having Brodie back is big. Don't like having SDA come up and send him down after 1 game but he was really the only move they could do

 

[therealkoho]

Potential Trap Game.

Why? LA is in a wild card spot and they're coming off a win, it's a pretty good team actually, I thought trap games were games where the opponent is clearly a worse team, if anything this is a revenge game for the Leafs

 

[Cleetus]

Feeling really good about the goaltending, its a weird feeling lol

 

[therealkoho]

More like what I expected.....ease Brodie back in.

exactly

I’m shocked that it’s been 12 games without Brodie. Don’t know why it felt shorter.

for me it seemed like he was out forever

Is Brodie playing LD with Timmins? I thought Brodie does better at RD?

Timmins I don't think has ever played the left side, and Brodie is comfortable on either side

So if they win then it's not like last year.

 

[Judas Tavares]

Saying this as kind of a joke but also not. While this has a potential to be a trap game, I think it's good today is Thursday. If this were a Monday or Tuesday, 100% a trap game. Early weeknight games vs. southern opponents... Those were the games we would lose to the Thrashers. I feel better that it's Thursday!

They did but in the rematch the Leafs destroyed them. They already had their most pathetic effort against LA in the first game so there's nowhere to go but up from that at least.

 

[Tarmore]

I do honestly wonder why the Refs didn't regulate that game? They always do to the Leafs.

IMO they pretty much only do that TO Canadian teams.

 

[supermann_98]

Hopefully Simmonds is in Saturday for the weakling Giraffe

 

[TMLAM34]

Glad to have Brodie back in the lineup! I can see him slotting in on the third pair with Timmins to start.

Sandin - Liljegren
Giordano - Holl
Brodie - Timmins

 

[Pebble live]

Leaf fans in shambles as they have nothing to argue over.

Both goalies playing well
Both Sandin and Lilly playing well
Both Matthews and Marner playing well

Who do we argue over??? Timmons and Hollowell?

Why Engvall still has a spot on this team. But based on what I see on these boards the last month or so there's not much to argue about.

Not sure how anything can defend the decision to keep him in the line up. There is 100% an AHL call up who can do what he does.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Liljegren Holl Timmins are all righties. Need a left shot on the left side.

Sandin - Liljegren
Giordano - Holl
Brodie - Timmins

If Sandin and Lilly had a little bit more time in the league this group would be solid to go with.

Mo has been here for a long time. But personally I'm not missing him. He slots back in for Timmins and Brodie goes to the other side but imagine what we could do with that cap space....

 

[Burnie97]

Wouldn't bother me. Engvall should be able to do so much more but at his price tag he isn't. Calgary usually likes to muck it up so Simmonds won't hurt Saturday.

Engvall needs to watch a game or two.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Yes. Bottom 5 goals against

26th ranked PK, but their PP is 8th

Why? LA is in a wild card spot and they're coming off a win, it's a pretty good team actually, I thought trap games were games where the opponent is clearly a worse team, if anything this is a revenge game for the Leafs

Kings fans think they're going to get dummied.
They are a pedestrian 4-3-3 in their last ten.

 

[dubplatepressure]

Martin Kaut on waivers is interesting - former 16th OA RW, only 38 NHL GP. I would imagine he doesn't fall further than a few of the bottom-5 teams.

Wow.

He must be sour about it.

....... showing myself out now.

When did he become a King? Thought he was on Colorado.

and every time they seem to sit Engvall, when he comes back he plays good for a bit lol
