GDT: Leafs @ Canucks at 7:00pm Sat, Feb 12th on CBC and Sportsnet

[The Kessel Run]

All the coaches keefe lost to got fired. Somehow he still has a job with an extension

Why wouldn’t he?

 

[supermann_98]

The captain still having COVID after-effects? He's less noticeable and dangerous than Engvall FFS

 

[Antropovsky]

Only 2 coaches in history with at least 100 games coached have a higher winning %. He's doing alright I think.

In the regular season*

 

[MSZ]

So many soft players who doesnt make any contact

That's their identity and I don't see it changing anytime soon even with a deadline rental.

Should be a quick first round exit no matter who the opponent is.

 

[therealkoho]

He has that Sundin thing where you never even notice him, but then all of a sudden you notice he's a ppg player.

He's our number 2 C, but on how many teams #1 C's have more points than him? Less than half for sure. How many #2 C's have more points than him? 1 or 2?

Nod is as good as a wink, they say

 

[3blizzard4]

So what has happened to Tavares?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

The captain still having COVID after-effects? He's less noticeable and dangerous than Engvall FFS

I actually notice him a lot, but it's usually when he blows a chance or commits a bad turnover. I'm honestly shocked he's producing as well as he is

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Tavares quietly does his thing and people are crapping on him? He is point per game and 31 years old he isn't a spring chicken per say in this business anymore but does what he has to do.

 

[Racer88]

The Leafs have been cursed with a lot of weird flukes goals over the last dozen or do games, tonight is no different

Leafs are ahead in shots Demko has stopped everything that's the difference.

The Leafs will win tonight and once again Kevin Bieksa will go home alone

Lol. I hope so

 

[supermann_98]

Just realized, no Jim Hughson tonight, glad to see and hear

 

[therealkoho]

So what has happened to Tavares?

I think he's managed to slip below the PPG mark, what a loser.

 

[keonsbitterness]

I predict a comeback victory.

 

[Cleetus]

wow Willy lol

 

[Cor]

Just realized, no Jim Hughson tonight, glad to see and hear

There’s been no Hughson all season. Where have you been lol

 

[MSZ]

Just realized, no Jim Hughson tonight, glad to see and hear

Jimmy boy retired. Instead we have another Cansucks homer calling this game because CC is too busy with the Olympic duty.

 

[Aashir]

Nylander set up multiple great chances. Not his fault Tavares can't finish

Not sure what you are watching, but Kerfoot and Tavares were both trash, with Nylander basically playing by himself.

Nylander wears 88. He set up like 2 grade a chances.

At this point Nylander might as well just shoot instead of pass. I agree he set up two grade a chances, but Tavares didn’t even get dangerous shots on net because he took stupid extra touches. Tavares needs to start finding nylander as well. They clicked for the first 35 games because Tavares was playmaking with nylander

 

[LastOne2100]

Why slap shot there Willy??

 

[Griffin76]

Only 4 minutes each.

Liljegren actually played more minutes than both. Seems like Keefe is throwing them in the dog house a bit.

Rielly played almost 12 minutes, so he is going to be held back a bit I imagine.

 

[Racer88]

I am confident Tavares couldn't even squat my warm up at this point lol

Hahahahahah. Sigh

 

[leafsfan5]

Oh come on

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Lol Nylander

 

[Stephen]

He has that Sundin thing where you never even notice him, but then all of a sudden you notice he's a ppg player.

He's our number 2 C, but on how many teams #1 C's have more points than him? Less than half for sure. How many #2 C's have more points than him? 1 or 2?

Wholeheartedly disagree. Sundin didn’t play fancy during the Dead Puck Era but was noticeably a play driver by carrying the puck cleanly setting up on the side wall, dishing the cycle magic, blasting the puck, getting partial breaks, sticking out the hip dipping the shoulder and driving the net.

Tavares kinda does broken play grinder things and has a big shot when he isn’t being smothered.

 

[Macallan18]

Tavares quietly does his thing and people are crapping on him? He is point per game and 31 years old he isn't a spring chicken per say in this business anymore but does what he has to do.

Yeah I want the leafs to trade for another non spring chicken Giroux

 

[Dangles McGavin]

lol Holl. For gods sake.

 

[The Poacher]

Oh I love Luke Schenn.

 

[therealkoho]

Just realized, no Jim Hughson tonight, glad to see and hear

He's retired, but he's been seen in the vicinity of Luongo's house lurking in the shadows
