GDT: Leafs @ Flames - 9pm - TSN

[saffronleaf]

I still like East Side Marios. they are generous with their portion

it's a place you can go to with young children

 

[Leafblooded]

Marner threw it up the middle for a clean defensive zone giveaway around 3.5 mins left in the 2nd and we immediately went to shit

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Tavares -2. This guy is brutal.

STRIP THAT C!
STRIP THAT C!

 

[al secord]

Hit 'em with a 4

 

[DarkKnight]

If you want an example of plus minus not necessarily being meaningful, plus 2 Gio tonight is instructive.

 

[saffronleaf]

I'm ok with kicking the puck period.

noo that could get pretty dangerous. i'm ok with like redirections like opening the face of the skate to redirect it in and stuff but kicking motion is dangerous

 

[PROUD PAPA]

That was more like it. Tough break for Lily on that last one.
Now close it out boys.

 

[Stephen]

Tavares -2. This guy is brutal.

Yet Tavares always gets the reputational benefit of the doubt. Consummate professional, details, lead by example.

You sure? Seems like a bottom six guy with poor defensive acumen, can’t skate or complete a simple play without turning into a slog in the mud.

If Matty pots 3 more, does that count as 2 hattys?

Kinda need a Matthews touchdown to win it or at least get an OTL at this rate.

 

[DarkKnight]

McCabe leads D men for ice time. Interesting.

Absolutely! Great place to bring the kids too. Love it there

It would be interesting if a player is out around the blue line he kicks the puck ahead but it ends up going all the way in.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

I have no idea how the rule works on that kicked puck play but I'm assuming if the puck was kicked off someone's skate blade it wouldn't count so there's no reason for it to count if it just glanced off Lilly's stick blade. The only thing I can think of is the puck may not have gone in if he didn't deflect it. And that may be true if you look at the overhead view but I wouldn't call it definitive. I'd love to hear an explanation.

 

[robertmac43]

If we don't get 2 points from this game it's going to be a major meltdown....

Go close out this game boys.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Bertuzzi is 5th in TOI and to be fair, he's going so Keefe is giving him top 6 shifts...

 

[ClarkSittler]

STRIP THAT C!
STRIP THAT C!

And give it to Matthews.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Reached the 4-goal mark for the first time in a while

Now need a third period goal for once

 

[DarkKnight]

Bertuzzi is 5th in TOI and to be fair, he's going so Keefe is giving him top 6 shifts...

I haven't liked him at all tonight to be honest.

 

[Blanka]

Matthews is getting 5...and we're going to lose 8-6.

 

[Rare Jewel]

And give it to Matthews.

Rielly is the captain; I don't care who is wearing the piece of fabric.

 

[MarMarSab3]

And give it to Matthews.

Reilly

 

[DarkKnight]

Feels like a really important period for the Leafs, blow this lead and the town will burn it down.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Not touching that one.

The puck was technically on the Liljegren’s stick long enough that it was considered possession, which voids the kicking motion. I can’t blame Lily on that one, your immediate reaction would be to stop the puck from crossing the line. Fast game, sh*t happens.
