Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 2-1 ... Kind of... In a shootout (Yes those are still a thing)

[Leafs87]

That's our alternate captain everyone

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

what about the two kessel esque wacks before the hit ?

 

[BackHandShelf22]

Eichel's a monster but I don't think he will truly realize his potential until the team is HIS. Far too many times, some random bums are handling the puck on the PP over him or refusing to pass to him when he is wide open, just to take a measly wrister (looking at you Kane).

It's almost like he's an 18 year old rookie or somethin.

 

[Gary Batman]

What was Rielly doing on that shot there? With his partner back with him, wasn't the logical thing to put his stick in shooting lane?

 

[Alerion]

Were they just calling Torts "Tortorello?"

 

[Hyperglide]

Cause it's not 6-5? What are you American? It's a good close game and the Leafs are playing solid!

No cause its a boring game. Terrible finish by our guys. Still getting used to this.

 

[Atomos2]

Looks like the refs are on board with tank nation. Ennis not getting a penalty is horse ****.

 

[Eddo22]

That was boarding.

Not to mention the slash. Buffalo should have gotten a double minor.

 

[Gary Batman]

LOL why do I keep hearing about this.Does he seriously whistle? How have I not heard it

Took me a few games to notice it myself, but yea he does it. Doesn't annoy me as much as it does to some in Jays GDT here.

 

[Liferleafer]

Leafs look ok so far....that call on Hunwick was garbage though. Ennus could have been called for slashing twice and then boarding.

 

[htpwn]

They hit on Hunwick was borderline but not a penalty IMO.

A good ref would have let Hunwick take his shot back and then play on.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

They hit on Hunwick was borderline but not a penalty IMO.

A good ref would have let Hunwick take his shot back and then play on.

That hit is called a penalty 9/10 times.

 

[Mitchy]

Man, our GDTs are dead now. Remember when we would always have at least two threads for a single game?

 

[htpwn]

That hit is called a penalty 9/10 times.

I disagree.

As I alluded to, I don't think Hunwick should have been called either.

 

[Budsfan]

They hit on Hunwick was borderline but not a penalty IMO.

A good ref would have let Hunwick take his shot back and then play on.

A good referee would have called a double penalty.

Just joined... How's it gone so far?

 

[Gary Batman]

As far as the last penalty goes, neither of the hits warranted a penalty, imo.

 

[Hurt]

It's not just our GDTs. It's everything Leafs related.

 

[Thissiteisgarbage]

Good lord does Marancin look just dreadful or what? David Clarkson of the blue line.
Is this an anomaly in his play? How did he get to this level? Yikes.

 

[Zybalto]

Lucky Kadri didnt get anything for clipping Kanes head but Ennis hit Hunwick right on the numbers right in front of the official. Non calling an obvious penalty like that will only lead to stupidness like late game retaliation or Hunwick faking an injury next time around to try and get the call.

Bad officiating.

Very boring...which is good. Bernier is solid and defense has been good.

Sounds like a solid road game except for the fact that whenever we play buffalo, it's always a home game.

 

[Liferleafer]

It's not just our GDTs. It's everything Leafs related.

It's going to take a while to get used to this type of play. After the Jays win the World Series, people will start paying attention again.

He's still very young and does have some good moments out there but he is the weak link on D so far. I can see Corrado getting a shot at his expense at some point.

 

[SprDaVE]

That Ennis hit could have been BAD.

If Hunwick falls or is injured, it's a penalty almost guaranteed.
