GDT: Leafs @ Kings 1030PM Jan 2

[Gary Nylund]

I do indeed think they are the best team in the division, because as I've said a hundred times i think it is a pretty mediocre division. Does it mean this team doesn't have flaws? Of course not. We all know what those flaws are. I think the defense and the 3C position will be addressed through trades. Goaltending may be a different story, because i don't think we are going to see another goalie acquired. But, by all means, show me the greatness of Boston and Florida and I'll change my mind.

I don't think you understood my post. No wait, I guarantee you didn't understand my post.

 

[BallardEra]

They're actually 17-10-7 (41 points in 34 games).

I agree with everything else!

10-10-14 if we use the days of no OT.

Very mediocre anyway we slice or dice it.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

I'm not irrational in the slightest. I think the Leafs are the best team in the division. It's hardly a stretch, and I'm pretty sure virtually every media member took the exact same position. The issue is that so many on this site react, and reach seemingly concrete conclusions, with each passing shift, let alone each game. Lose three games in a row, the team is garbage. Win three in a row, it's orgasm city. Meanwhile, my position is simply that they will end up being the best team in the division. The biggest risk is now clearly in net. It's not ideal that a season may rest on the shoulders of a guy who has played less than 30 NHL games.

Woah, like you gotta be new to this!

"Bi-Polar Nation"

The Bi-Polar express does not stop.

Been going since 1967, you cannot stop it.

Just a heads up

 

[Nineteen67]

Don't get me started on dental plans. I have to get a gum graft. Insurance barely covers any of it.

I thought you lived in Canada?

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

If I can get a nap in, I *may* be able to watch this otherwise no way. I nod off involuntarily around that time these days.

Have you tried cocaine and some Red Bulls?

I haven't but just throwing that out there, could work who knows.

Dental has never been covered in Canada. NDP pushed for it last election and won, but it only applies to babies and toddlers basically.

Just gotta brush them teeth. Teeths? Tooths?

Babies and toddlers, you mean those without teeth, way to go NDP……..

I can neither confirm, nor deny whether I have participated in any activities with those aforementioned substances

 

[mikeyz]

Haha.

I did the same thing with an impacted Wisdom Tooth. Just kept rescheduling. Not sure what trauma happened as a child but I have an irrational fear of the dentist.

I played football with a broken arm, hockey with a broken foot, but I squirm and moan like a toddler in the dentist' chair

Me too. But I am telling you dude, a dentist visit these days aren’t that bad at all compared to 10-20 years ago.

I chipped a filling while eating dinner about 4 years ago, went to get it refilled and I felt absolutely nothing. Maybe it’s the dentist that I go to or the advancement of strength in anesthetic mouth freezing. But my visits are painless pretty much all the time.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

I wonder if the Kings will hand our Leafs asses to them.

Which team shows up, Leafs Loser or Leaf try harder's ???

It will be the leaf try hards because they can’t risk losing Keefe, their gentle best friend.

 

[Evilhomer]

It won't hurt that David Rittich is starting for LA. I didn't think he was even in the NHL anymore.

Once. Couldn't sleep for a day. Not my thing. I'll stick with a much worse drug (alcohol).

Thought Talbot was confirmed?

 

[Buds17]

10-10-14 if we use the days of no OT.

Very mediocre anyway we slice or dice it.

Merely stating that a 17-17 record would leave the team with 34 points and place them outside of a playoff spot. YMMV.

The NHL doesn't use "days of no OT". Why would anyone else? What would be the record if we went back to the days of the two line offside?

 

[BrannigansLaw]

So are we scratching Bobby McMann tonight and announcing Nylander’s bajillion dollar extension? If that’s not accountability I don’t know what is

 

[MSZ]

As it currently stands it is still a mediocre record, closer than the 9th place than first in the division.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Leafs core 4:

Matthews, Tavares, marner, Rielly.

Putting Rielly in that group seems incongruous.

He should should really be in the Tier 2 group:
Rielly, Nylander, Bertuzzi and Brodie.

Putting Rielly and Nylander in the same tier as Brodie and Bert is no bueno.

 

[Leaf Fans]

They are not projected to scratch McMann. I don't believe Reeves is ready yet? Also, no Nylander contract to announce yet.

Sure, but we ought to accept the NHL's scoring system. It is their League.

Ah thanks for the heads up, I thought I heard otherwise.

 

[Racer88]

I normally would stay up and watch it all but with the way they have been playing I might stay up for the first period unless LA scores first then I’m outa here

 

[Leaf Fans]

No problem. In fact, you might have more recent information than I do. At least,on McMann.

 

[BallardEra]

Just saying that the team has been very mediocre and hasn’t played put to its standards this season, anyway one chooses to slice it or dice it.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Well if we're getting real here, I was once offered cocaine in my early 20's by old high school friends sitting around their cramped apartment table and me with a brand new date and hadn't seen them for years.

"Nah I'm good"

It was actually kind of offensive and really caught me off guard, and the chick I was with never talked to me again.

THANKS OLD BUDDIES!

Nothing wrong with drinking if you stick to beer, and don't put it onto anyone else as best you can.

But this is coming from a fellow alcoholic.

At least you're not on opioids. But if you're and alcoholic, just stick to the beer and make that a rule.

edit: see what drinking does? I meant to say I was offended that my old friends wanted me and my new gal to snort some coke. It was a real WTF moment.

I don't remember that last time I watched a Leafs/LA game entirely. I normally watched the first period only and then I check the score next morning.
