Post-Game Talk: Leafs Drool we Rule!

[crazychimp]

Loved Petey’s defensive play tonight, Miller on the other hand looked lazy and slow not sure what his deal is but one of the forwards needs to cover for him because he was out of position too many times.

Kiefer Sherwood and Kevin Lankinen might be the best 2 UFA signings this year

i have no idea what we’re talking about here

Sounds like 99.99% of my posts.

Not that I'm complaining about the win, but I'm still wondering what kind of dirt Juulsen has on the coaching staff.

 

[Szechwan]

God damn Myers is good, no need to trade for a D just feed him more minutes

Same with Myers: both knows the handles of Toc Allvin and Moleman's OnlyFans accounts.

So I watch the Carolina game which ends up being the most boring loss I’ve seen in 10 years, then miss this one and we win 3-0. Thanks Benning

 

[CanucksSayEh]

That shot by Myers, that deflected off BB, was legit going 15' wide.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Lame that the Hughes goal was recorded as unassisted. If it hits 5 leaves before the net, apples are still given out, but one of em speeds up the process with their stick and good ol Nucks are robbed of dem apples.

Just as planned.

 

[Hoglander]

Thought I was going to be lamenting another loss, but instead I'm Spankinen!

miller was ass tonight. petey was a beast. qh being dominate again. the later D held their fort against the leafs. they didnt create much offense. shutdown their powerplay too. when will branstrom get in again? soucy should be the next one out. heinen hasnt scored in forever it seems.

 

[jd22]

Bona fide*, for one and all.

Nice to beat TO. Now back to ass for another 5 games?

I don't know about ass but it wouldn't surprise me if they play in Winnipeg similar to how they played in Carolina where they keep up with a good team and don't allow much but also don't create enough to win.

You can't be dominate. You dominate.

Hughes was dominant.

To be fair, you look at this pathetic blue line, Myers by default is the 2nd best...
That's how thin this blueline is.

 

[kanucks25]

Quinn Hughes has 2 fewer points (1.24 PPG) than Makar (1.11 PPG) in 6 fewer games played.

It's not close when you consider the difference in offensive support.

How many phantom 2nd assists is Hughes getting? Typically he's the one making the play on any goals he's getting points on.

Hughes doesn't have a player on his team that he can defer to and say "ok you go do something" like Makar has with MacKinnon.

Honestly Hughes is the best player in the world right now. Ya I said it. No one is controlling the game every time he steps on the ice like he does. I wish the surrounding pieces were going better because it would be a shame to waste this!

Watching the game last night, these teams are just fundamentally different. Toronto is a good team, they may even win a round this year. I think they will. But they aren't a great hockey team. The way they play without the lead can be best described as "inmates running the asylum". They needed to ship out one of their stars in the offseason and instead chose to band-aid their problems with Chris Tanev. It's a poorly-built hockey team, but a good hockey team.

Phillipe Myers was an unpleasant surprise last night. I mean that in a complimentary way.

Dude Quinn Hughes isn't even human I have to assume sometimes. The kid will win a Stanley Cup. I hope for the right team.

You can't be dominate. You dominate.

Hughes was dominant.

Thank you. Considering we all spend time on a forum where language is literally the foundation of it, the amount of basic mistakes is quite surprising.

My mum is a schoolteacher, you may find this video interesting.



More or less we basically taught boys in a way that made them dyslexic. And when the kids had trouble, they got told *they* were wrong. I think this way of learning also leads to problems with more advanced arithmetic down the road. I always killed Mad Minute in 20 seconds, but long form was a f***ing grind. The only reason I had any further success in math was because she stuck me in summer school against my wishes (after passing Math 10) and sitting doing every f***ing problem I had with the homework.

Well, that was an unexpected result to my trip to Toronto! As I hoped, I had an excellent meal with an old friend, a couple of beers and watched Quinn dominate the Leafs! I didn't actually expect the Canucks to win, certainly not by shut out, and I most definitely not expect an amazing performance by our favourite Chaos Giraffe! As well as the Canucks played (and big kudos to the penalty killers!), the Leafs were abysmal. I was somewhat surprised to hear the cacophony of boos late in the third period but the home team deserved it. Also, Garland played really well. Not sure how much of it was obvious on tv but he was all over the place. And Brisebois was solid - I didn't have Top-6 Brisebois anywhere on my bingo card this year.
Of course, as a Canucks fan, I had to face the consequences of an enjoyable night out, which consisted of two hours on the roadside in north Barrie waiting for CAA. Looks like I blew the engine in my Honda Odyssey. So, as enjoyable as the evening was, it is going to be a costly one.

I do wonder how much predictive text has played into things though, where someone knows the word they mean but lazily type it and then fix it with predictive text/spell check and don’t notice it’s not the right word. The same way we can read scrambled words as long as the first and last letters are the same, it’s easy to gloss over mistakes of using similar words if we’re not proofreading carefully

There's almost certainly some chicken and egg going on here, as well. There are likely folks that have the wrong word in there because the autocorrect did it and they didn't notice, and, given that the common ones are basically all words that sound the same, there are likely folks who have never known that "gaff" isn't "gaffe," or who have seen "dominant" left as "dominate" enough times that they just think that it's correct.

Even before all of this technology junk you would still occasionally run into someone who had never heard the word "hyperbole" spoken out loud.

"So-and-so is totally dominate" does drive me up the f***ing wall, though.
