GDT: Leafs @ Flames 9:00pm on SN1 and SNO

[HellasLEAF]

Tkachuk grabbed Matthews' leg to drag him into the boards

Dangerous play by known offender. Matthews right in front of goal alone too. The ticky tacky stuff they have been calling and to miss that is bizarre. I bet if Matthews doesn't get up they might give 2 tripping

 

[Cleetus]

Yup.......he has 1 job and laying on the ice isn’t it

lol yep for sure... leaving a 2 on 0 down low, with a sniper like Johnny... its high danger chance with a high probability of going in, but yes lets blame him get real.... should not let that chance happen.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Hoping we can break up their cycle game more often. Don't want them dancing around in the zone even if it is on the perimeter

Also, have we had a 3 goal yet this year?? Time for it now!

 

[PromisedLand]

I have yet to have a single issue with anything Tkachuk has done the past 2 games. I wish every single one of our players competed like he did.

Edit: this may be a tad controversial lmao

what jump on opposition goalie's neck with both your knees or slew footing oppositions' star center dangerously right into the boards?

 

[daethfromabove1979]

Pretty sure Tkachuk kicked out to trip Matthews

What is wrong with Tkachuk? He’s buddies with Matthew’s and still can’t himself from being a grease ball out there.

 

[hamzarocks]

I want to see a bit more from Joey Anderson

[The Hanging Jowl]

Pretty sure Tkachuk kicked out to trip Matthews

He did more than that. He reached up and grabbed Matthews' leg at the same time. And it couldn't have been in a more dangerous situation (flying towards the boards).

DO NOT get caught up in this POS's game. Beat them. Let him specifically know about it later.

 

[IrishInOntario]

Matthews needs to be heads up there and knee Ratchuk in the head as hard as he can as the two of them are crashing into the boards there... Just a nice, hard, concussive knee.

This 4th line can stay

Hey I love Tkachuk and wish he was a Leaf, but tripping ANY player with that pace towards the boards isn’t competing, it’s reckless.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Engvall and Boyd are so good, my god

 

[Nylander88]

Simmonds got a lot of jump the last 2 games .. looking good!

Ice time. He's not a fourth liner despite popular belief around here. It's a hard job 4th line minutes. Most guys require the ability to get into a rhythm

 

[supermann_98]

Nylander with puck - sick
Nylander without puck - facepalm

 

[TMLeafer]

Did Tavares take a high hit?

Anyone got a gif of Matthews/Tkachuk going into the end boards?

I thought so too but replayed and it was blindside but not to the head from what I could tell.

 

[LastOne2100]

This fourth line is fantastic so far.

 

[Cor]

Yeeeeeah Barabanov may want to call his KHL team

 

[Morgs]

I love this 4th line.

 

[Griffin76]

I keep waiting to hear the name Joey Crabb. He was #46 wasn't he?

 

[Nylander88]

Engvall and Boyd are so good, my god

Boyd has impressed tonight. Goal aside. He's made himself noticeable

 

[Stephen]

I mean if Tkachuk can get away with doing some f***ing wrestling move on Campbell's head... not surprised they don't call that on him.

Those sneaky dirty players are never penalized at the rate of their infractions. It’s high volume offenses that always work out to their benefit. That’s why it’s a style of player. A rare but highly valued style of player.

 

[Leaffan1991]

I like this fourth line a lot

 

[Captain14]

I want to see a bit more from Joey Anderson

He certainly has brought the 4th line to exactly how your 4th should be.

 

[saffronleaf]

When our players do that they get suspended

 

[Bellefour20]

Officials couldn't believe Keefe would put Hutchinson on the roster sheet and had to double check?

 

[frizzer1]

Kerfoot is fast but easily muscled off the puck at both ends.
