GDT: Leafs @ Habs -- pre-season game 4 -- 7PM

[The Shrike]

There is absolutely no reason for Murray to be the number 3 option over Hildeby.

He’s looked solid and very composed all preseason.

Hildebeast will be number 3 soon enough when Murray gets claimed off waivers.

Slaf might also be injured... yeesh

Shouldn't have pulled Rifai's hair.

put that kid on the olympic diving team

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Feel like I’m watching a game from the Quinn days with all the fights and penalties the Leafs are taking. Much less unhinged and violent though.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

That is a solid dive.

 

[SprDaVE]

yeah... he just fell lol

 

[MoreMogilny]

Habs fans having a normal one over on the mainboards.

Gotta love those creatures.

The main board is an absolute cesspool of individuals absolutely thrilled to watch a guy punch someone else in the back of the head over a knee that MAY have been an accident. Intent is never easy to determine with these

What we DO know is that one of the strongest players in the league repeatedly punched another player in the back of the head as a response. And they actually think it’s hilarious and deserved.

The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

 

[Smif]

Honestly, I was really hoping for more from Berube when a bad penalty was called. He looks just like Keefe with their heads down looking at the replay.

 

[Spargon]

Man the Habs have been on the powerplay 80% of the time since wifi fight yet can't generate anything but one and done plays.

 

[LeafsFan89]

What did Robertson do? Was it after whistle stuff?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Habs PP been in mid season form. Refs have basically just been spoon feeding them PP's all night since scrabble got the boot.

Dumont,engels, Basu and yes Grant Mccagg all score this as decisive win for Slaf f

It does doesn’t it?

Giving me flashbacks to 2001-2004 days.

Guaranteed if it was the other way around they would be calling for pare to get a year suspension or he's soft for getting injured

Ws thinking the same thing

 

[SprDaVE]

Timmins has been fantastic

I've come to realize this is how I want to win. Yes, you beat them with skill, but to bully another team without trying and send them into emotional chaos? That is entertainment gold standard.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Slaf the hair-puller is back.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Timmins has been fantastic

I want to see him do it against NHL players

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

I know the habs suck, but they are still NHL players

It’s what we used to do to Ottawa and what Boston has been doing to us recently with the exception of maybe last playoffs.

Sucks.

 

[Stephen]

Exactly. That culture should be non negotiable, with the skill factor of the Matthews generation putting the team over the top.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Not able to watch live. Seems like I'm missing some good violence.

 

[Leafidelity]

I guess Slaf went to the room to make sure he didnt break any nails pulling Rafai's hair

 

[Racer88]

We should enjoy this intensity tonight while we can. Once the core 5 are back in the lineup it will be over
