GDT: Leafs@Flyers 7PM SNO (8:08 puck drop)

[saltming]

Hopefully in time to see the Canada/Russia summit series

That was my first hockey game!! Game 8 too
Then I found out about the maple leafs and the rest is a sorted history haha

 

[ACC1224]

Is the game actually starting at 8?

 

[Buds17]

dermott will be sent down when zaitsev comes back from injury

Not necessarily. Might be Borgman.

 

[Bluelines]

Yup they are doing an hour long ceremony to retire Eric Lindross #88.

 

[Morguee]

I guess even changing the 4c was too much of a bold move for Babcock

Moore is not going in after publicly complaining. Between Lou and Babcock I would not be surprised to see him traded for futures now.

 

[ACC1224]

Yup they are doing an hour long ceremony to retire Eric Lindross #88.

That's absurd.

 

[rent free]

Not necessarily. Might be Borgman.

borgman's been on the team with zaitsev in the lineup. dermott's only here cuz zaitsev is out. it'll be dermott for sure

 

[Morguee]

That's absurd.

The teams should be allowed to stay in the dressing room for that length of ceremony.

oh yeah I forgot about that. Frankly, Moore's an idiot for opening his mouth. The only reason he got a spot is because his competition (Fehr, who was better) did the same

 

[Raging Bull]

Are they showing a Scorsese directed retrospect of his life? It can't actually be an hour.

 

[Bluelines]

Sure hope not , the kid sure has some jump in his game but Babcock probably wont like his defence and go for the "vet" Borgman

i would. they think we're good enough to make the playoffs so they'd probably want more depth come playoff time

 

[Apollo Leaf]

Once again, I can't say I'm a fan of the lineup.

Just win.

 

[ACC1224]

I imagine the Leafs will

 

[Bluelines]

With out a doubt absurd, his daddy must have called and complained 20 minutes was not long enough.

I think Alfie's was an hour long.

IMO if they are going to do an hour long ceremony, start at 6:30p

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

i would. they think we're good enough to make the playoffs so they'd probably want more depth come playoff time

Moore likely isn't going to help us very much in that department. Matthews, Kadri, Bozak, Marleau, Nylander, Komarov, and Gauthier are probably all better center options than Moore

 

[Bluelines]

That's absurd.

Yep absolutely absurd, he only played 40 games for the Leafs

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Once again, I can't say I'm a fan of the lineup.

Just win.

i would say that winning isn't going to convince Babcock to make changes to the lineup, but obviously neither is losing

 

[Cor]

Flyers can go **** themselves for the 68 minute delay. their fans are probably going to get bored in 2 minutes anyway and start throwing whatever they get their hands on like they classless morons they are

Why are you so mad lol

 

[Raging Bull]

Or is it supposed to be a tribute to his number to raise it at 8:08.

 

[Bluelines]

Moore is not going in after publicly complaining. Between Lou and Babcock I would not be surprised to see him traded for futures now.

Moore is complaining? Apparently he didn't see what happened to Fehr.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Why are you so mad lol

i don't want to wait an hour for the game to start

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Or is it supposed to be a tribute to his number to raise it at 8:08.

they should have made the ceremony 8 minutes and 8 seconds to give a tribute to his number

 

[ACC1224]

i don't want to wait an hour for the game to start

Turn the tv on at 8

You could be right, but - in an obviously much smaller # of games played - Dermott isn't far off from Borgman in terms of ice-time. I don't think it's a slam dunk by any means. It is likely a case of either/or though. Don't see how we'll have both playing given a healthy blueline just yet.
