GDT: Leafs @ Sharks - 10:30

[Nineteen67]

TiVo? Been a while since I’ve seen that word, but that sounds like the plan.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Kerfoot is often described as a “Swiss Army Knife” that can move up and down the lineup, but no matter where he is the line he’s on always feels like it’s out of sync or missing something. The line he’s on doesn’t usually get caved in but it also never excels at anything. Just complete mediocrity from his line, which I suppose mirrors how he is as a player. Not great at anything, not awful at anything, just there.

That's the appeal though, no matter where there's an injury or decline in your forward group, you can plug in Kerfoot and they'll tread water until the core issue is fixed and he's back on the 3rd line. You can't do that with a Bunting.

Kallgren is starting? Leafs better score at least six goals to stay in it. .830% coming in.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Matthews on pace for 11 goals this year.

Matthews also had 1 goal in 6 games to start last year. Actually paced for less considering the Leafs had already played 9 games.

He'll be fine.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Still don’t get why Kallgren is playing. I’ve seen enough of him to know he sucks.

Because he put in three games worth of work against Vegas thanks to our trash effort last game?

He probably needs a break before having to play in front of that “defense” again

This city is brutal on it's backups. Kallgren is fine as a temp backup.

That's because we've had nothing but brutal backups recently, other than MacElhinney who was a great backup. Also, "fine" is not a word I'd use to describe a goalie with a sub .890sv%

Set your TIVO's, another dreaded late West Coast game.

I'm curious to see Jarnkrok at 3C. I hope it works out.

Ps- I hope he eventually plays with Matthews/Marner too.

Did you watch the game? Leafs hung him out to dry.

People tend to give sieves a hard time.

 

[GrizzLeaf]

I'm off tomorrow I'll be watching this one.

Hoping for a strong effort, like the Leafs had against the Jets.

Let's do this!

Go Leafs Go!!

 

[AvroArrow]

Matthews gonna open the scoring en route to his first hat trick of the year, Leafs by 3, all is good in Leaf land and we stop burning the city and plan the parade

Should have done the same. Football game wil be a good one as well.

 

[Magic Man]

I'm pretty interested in seeing how these forward lines work. The 4th line becomes a pretty sharp looking shutdown line. That 3rd line with Malgin getting another shot in the top-9 getting to play with Bunting looks like a good idea.

Come on man they outshot the Coyotes 29-18, he sucked ... Period

[Dekes For Days]

Not a fan of starting Kallgren, but if Samsonov is feeling under the weather, it makes more sense.

 

[Mr_Fun]

I don't mind putting Kerfoot on the 1st line. He has an opportunity to move up to a higher spot here so he'll want to make the most of this chance (or so I'm hoping).

Kalli can be a little spooky back there, no doubt

 

[The Masters]

a late one ehhhhh

fkin guyhs better come out hard and wake up

 

[LeafSteel]

So, Kally in Cali????

I will show myself out now….

 

[Nineteen67]

The secret to western conference start times is watch the first period and then see if you want to stick it out

If the leafs aren't up by 3 or more goals go to sleep.

Not worth watching a close game either way with the potential you've stayed up from 10pm to 12:30am only to see us get 0 or 1 pts.

I watched the first 5 mins of VGK, got bored and decided to go to sleep. Saw we lost and didn't lost anything from missing that game.

Hopefully we have a quick 1st and dominate the Sharks from the get go tonight

Leafs will go up 3-0 and it’ll end up 4-2 with an EN

Good point. He’s every bit as fine as David Ayers is as a temp backup.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Just tuned in to the Bruins/wings game. These announcers are crazy/ over the top.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

And watch for Kallgren again Saturday or Sunday which makes this start on what would have been 3 days rest for Samsonov all the more puzzling.

He has to play even more so our great one, the only and True number one samsonov can stay healthy and not get injured too. We are so protecting him. We cannot afford to lose him, so he wont be playing but one game this week anymore. We are not taking any riski and I'm sorry about that

This city is brutal on it's backups. Kallgren is fine as a temp backup.

He might play a HUUGE game tonight. He is talented. Remember those games where he didn't allow almost any goals and everybodys was talkin bout him?
