GDT: Leafs @ Golden Knights, Tue. Jan. 11 2022

[Azazel]

Game management at its finest

Every time the Leafs get up in a game, or score to start a comeback, the league steps in and calls bs penalties. And if a Leaf player doesn't commit one? They just make it up. Usually happens within 3-5 mins of the Leafs scoring.

US broadcasts are abhorrently amateurish. I’ve been watching a ton of Colorado and their announcers refer to “Mikko” and “Cale” like they’re doing a basketball game. It’s so painful. And on the Nashville broadcast the colour guy had to explain to the play by play that no it was Mackinnon who took the shot but yes Makar passed it to him when he messed up the call.

American broadcasting is so chatty and bad.

I normally agree a lot of the time, but I have actually liked this Vegas duo so far.

 

[Stephen]

He just completed the attempt last week

I tried finding a YouTube clip of that shootout attempt but found it on a live broadcast.

 

[Confucius]

4-1 leads scare me man. even last game against avs we had a 4-1 lead.....

As I said, call me twisted. lol!

 

[frizzer1]

Wish he was invisible, he's been noticeably bad.

Keeps turning the puck over.

 

[saffronleaf]

Before my time but I've heard legends

lol when he first joined the media was all like, he's not slow, he slows the game down.

 

[keonsbitterness]

this covid break followed by only a couple games here and there and random postponements has really killed the flow of the season.

They can't postpone forever, and they still want to finish the regular season by April 30. Apparently teams are getting provisional February schedules from the league this week.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Before my time but I've heard legends

Omg if he was before your time lol thank god I didn’t reference Allan Stanley lolol my time
Go Leafs Go

 

[Cleetus]

or Jason Allison lol

MSG feeds are worth watching.

TNT looks fun too but moreso for the intermissions.

 

[Jojalu]

Former all star Jason Allison who was almost a points per game as a Leaf
I'll never forget that shootout attempt, where he slowed the earth rotation

Damien Cox had the best line.

"As you read this article in the paper this morning, Jason Allison is just finishing his shootout attempt"

 

[Oscar Peterson]

lol when he first joined the media was all like, he's not slow, he slows the game down.

LOL
Cant wait to see Nick Ritchie slow the game down in the playoffs

 

[fahad203]

lol when he first joined the media was all like, he's not slow, he slows the game down.

The good old mario lemieux effect...... I know he takes a lot of flank
But he was a points per game player in new NHL after missing 3 years with a bad back ......... That's no joke

 

[PromisedLand]

or Jason Allison lol

Joe Thornton?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Kill off the penalty

 

[Teeder Keon]

As I said, call me twisted. lol!

If meme was a thing back then he would be up there

 

[keonsbitterness]

Clifford hasn't thrown a single hit on the forecheck yet, I'm not sure what his purpose is then.

He's useful as a spot starter. Can't play him every game.

 

[Lemontree]

Might know it. Only guy not to get covid...Holl. You just can't write this shit with this guy.

Just like every skater in the league, Covid is too quick for him.

 

[Magic Man]

Clifford hasn't thrown a single hit on the forecheck yet, I'm not sure what his purpose is then.

That's one of the biggest reasons I prefer Ritchie to him. He does throw his body quite a bit. Clifford may end up with more fights in a year, but he isn't as aggressive with his body. Ritchie is also a much better offensive option. Clifford is probably the better defensive player, but he's just really safe, he doesn't try much.

the colorado one sucks though.

Hahaha so true

 

[frizzer1]

Dude having a very bad stretch after coming back from time off
Even Spezza hasn't looked good after coming back

Maybe it has something to do with age and time off.

Last year it was “baby brain “.
What’s it going to be next year?

Holl too slow to make any kind of physical contact
