GDT: Leafs at Stars-- Thursday 4/7/22

[Nylanderthal]

3-1 minn state on a dirty tip in front that some here would be hand wringing about soft D in front of the net

 

[Superstar]

Yes, there can only be one Aki Berg.

He's the one who started that donut and coffee franchise, right?

 

[Leafsfan74]

I think he's a great complimentary partner for Rielly. He knows to stay back and let Rielly do what he does best. I agree he's not a typical top pairing guy but Rielly has looked his best lately when paired with Lyubushkin. Coincidence? Maybe. But I don't think so.

Too many expect perfection. It's a very fast game, .a bouncing puck, broken plays and desperate opponents.

All in all for the number of games the Russian Bear has played, I think he has been great. Reilly has some freedom and Lybushkin is happy to just hit, defend, block hnots and clear bodies.

It has also allowed Keefe to ice a more balanced defense.

 

[MSZ]

No Mikheyev 4 v 4 is insane to me.

He never plays in OT too. That's a mystery.

 

[Tak7]

It's my biggest pet peeve - the dozens of missed interference calls missed each game.
After a month of proper calling, it would open the game up even more and it would be the 80s again, I'm telling you . . .

This same league successfully cracked down on the neutral zone obstruction / interference / hooking by calling it and calling it and calling it and basically forcing the players to adapt.

Remember how many nights early on, where powerplays were like 9 vs 7 ?

Now that same league acts like it's horrendous to run up powerplays because somehow it's unfair - not nearly as unfair as letting so many calls go.

It's going to hit another tier come playoff time, as usual.

In the settings, but if you're using Firefox, live thread doesn't work very well.

I hate it lol. I guess when they made the switch it was turned on automatically?

 

[Griffin76]

I actually like this announcer Harnryan

Been calling Holl Hole all night. Love it. We should keep him forever.

 

[Teeder Keon]

He's the one who started that donut and coffee franchise, right?

Salming
Mo
Horton

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Mo will be the second best D man in Leaf history
Book it

You're right, he'll never be better than Lebda.

 

[Azazel]

No Mikheyev 4 v 4 is insane to me.

That is weird. Hes very fast and can score.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Since when did Sportsnet put ads on the glass behind the net?

They're freaking me out!

 

[Captain14]

Mo will be the second best D man in Leaf history
Book it

After Brian “Stonewall” Glennie?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Stupid pass Holl

 

[Teeder Keon]

What if Horton and Salming had a business
I think it would be called
Donuts and Coke

 

[TMLeafer]

Selke Matthews saves a goal

 

[McSnypsky]

Nice D matts!!

 

[MSZ]

Holl almost killed his own team again with his dumb decisions.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Matthews may have just saved a goal.

 

[HolyCrap]

Holl is a giveaway machine

 

[CelticDruid]

Holl throwing grenades

 

[Captain14]

Huge defensive play by 34. Saved a goal

A penalty in the preseason is a penalty in January and April and game 7 of the cup finals imo

 

[Teeder Keon]

What a great defensive play there by our Hart winner

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Holl almost made it 3-3. I think there is a hamster running on a wheel between his ears.

 

[ULF_55]

Holl passes to a covered man in the opposition zone causing this issue.
