GDT: Leafs @ Nashville - 7pm - HNIC

[ACC1224]

Wednesday is the trap game if anything.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Tampa and Panthers will lose today and we will win and take 1st place for ourselves. Time to build a cushion so when we beat them later this season that seals the division.

Would be nice to see Marner get things pointed in the right direction. He hasn't been great lately - not terrible either. Matthews, Nylander and Tavares have all had impact games offensively recently, so would be nice to get Mitchy some good feels as well.

Assume Woll in net? Also assume Jarnkrok gets in vs his former team?

 

[al secord]

Why you acting like im one of the players in the Locker room

Ok Yarn Cock.

 

[GlitchMarner]

Hopefully the Leafs dispatch NSH like they did CGY on MON. This isn't the time to be f***ing around.

Hoping the Capitals destroy the Panthers (they've beaten them by three twice already).

 

[DarkKnight]

Can we drop this "trap game" bs out of our vocabulary, please? There's like 13 games left. If they want to win the division, there's no time for "trap games". Maybe in November that's somewhat acceptable, but not now. These are big 2 points to drop, if they drop this game. So sick of that phrase.

Ya we're fighting two teams for first place, and it's down the stretch. Screams get the job done game.

Screams trap game

Curious what you mean by a trap game.

Maybe I’m reading wrong, but I’m taking it as Nashville will try to play the trap against us defensively, to try to slow our forwards down, a la early 2000’s New Jersey under Lou.

Or are you meaning it’s a trap game that the Leafs may take lightly and end up losing because of it?

I always thought the definition of a trap game was one that the team takes lightly and looks past it because they have a big game next.
For example if they were playing Florida or Tampa tomorrow this could be considered a trap game.

We play Tuesday and Thursday.

 

[ACC1224]

We play Tuesday and Thursday.

You’re correct, my quick glance was incorrect. I thought maybe they played tomorrow when ‘trap game’ was mentioned

Also need as many regulation wins as possible so we can take over the tiebreaker.
Currently 1 back of the Panthers

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

Nashville has a terrible roster on paper, and on the ice.

You are Pejorative Slured.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Should be okay unless Saros is in ridiculous mode. Even if not they’ll still make you earn it.

That time of the season did you expect Marner to improve his game?

@Evilhomer?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Roman Josi was placed on IR 3 weeks ago if he's still out that defense is hurting

I don't see Tampa losing to Utah tonight.

I am interested to see what happens between Florida and Washington.

Florida is beat up but Washington has already clinched so do they take their foot off the gas pedal a little bit?

We will find out.

Utah still in it. If they win tonight they are 2 points ouf 8th spot. I can't see that being an easy game

Washington still chasing president's trophy. I can't see them taking their gas off the foot. On top of that Ovie's record

What a season that would be for them if they can win the president trophy in Ovie's career year

 

[wingman75]

Regardless of what I want or expect, as a fan, I know we need him to be at his best.

The other guys have had positive impacting games, just want him to be able to do the same.

With ovi chasing I bet they don’t take their foot off the gas at all

 

[Evilhomer]

@Evilhomer?

Given that Florida started their back up, I don't think they are expecting much out of this game. I think Florida is just trying to cruise to the end of the season

 

[Confucius]

No plans to visit the US unfortunately for the next say oh ‘bout 4 years.

Sadly my trip to Pittsburgh last December will be the last for a while.

Go Leafs Go!

Go Canada Go!

You think he’s leaving? lol, no not likely.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

He has to. In the States a president can only have two terms in office. So, on a side note, I'm cancelling my annual trip to Manhattan in July. I want that economy to hurt as much as he wants ours to. It's a shame, because Nashville would have been a great place to be tonight.

We’ll see.

We’ll see.

He's not going to abolish the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution. Americans are patriotic, they'll riot in the streets. We won't see.
