GDT: Leafs v Flames - Just win. I don't care how

[Mr Knies Guy]

Wow Fred not even dressing as backup.

That’s either injury related or a message. I hope it’s the latter

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

they made a mistake for sure, flip the 3rd and 4th line

Ok thank goodness

 

[Confucius]

Wow Fred not even dressing as backup.

Start the rumour Trade incoming...

Bonus points question: How long has it been since we had a starting goalie that the fans didn't want to run our of town?

Pretty funny that various posters have talked about how we should bring back Reimer or Bernier, just amazing stuff.

Funny thing is I don't even want to run him out of town. Never have.

Just wanted us to treat him like any other goalie, and not like an unquestioned elite one.

unfortanatly he's not paid like the average goaltender

 

[Alerion]

Allowing less shots logically should lead to allowing less goals, not a better save percentage. The key word there is percentage.

Scoring chances and xG are down compared to those years too, I'm not comparing shot totals.

 

[Gallagbi]

He is though, he's paid like an average starter.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Palmateer

Nah. Potvin, Fuhr, Cujo and Belfour were well loved.

 

[zeke]

Is this for real? I hate it. Why is Hyman on the 4th??

Thats really the 3rd line.

Thornton-Kerfoot-Spezza will be the 4th line.

And expect Hyman and Simmonds to swap freely based on situation.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Percentage is still percentage.

This year, and for the forseeable future every penny counts

 

[HockeyVirus]

Got Ron is so dry and boring now.

 

[BTP]

Its just for rest, he will have 5 full days off. They've done it already this year

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Don't know if Freddy is "done" yet. On one hand riding Soupy gives Freddy a chance to heal and get ready for the playoffs. On the other, if he gets hurt close to the playoffs, and Freddy has not fixed himself, we are done. Ride Soupy ride.

Why in God's name would we want to proven playoff failure playing in the playoffs?

 

[Amadeus]

Any link on tonight's game?

CBC mobile isn't covering it for some reason.

This year, and for the forseeable future every penny counts

Ain't that the truth!

Got Ron is so dry and boring now.

Hasn't that pretty much always been his thing?

 

[Gallagbi]

Got Ron is so dry and boring now.

Ron's a national treasure, watch yourself

 

[HockeyVirus]

Hasn't that pretty much always been his thing?

Yes but it worked because he had someone the opposite him and it made for entertaining tv. Now everyone is so boring and serious there is nothing to make him stand out and man he just really brings the excitement level down.

Cool for your opinion , but ...
I totally disagree with you on the player giving up on or not trying to , or losing a tooth for ...
As as athlete of any kind in any sport , that when your in a game playing , weather you like the guy / girl next to you , that your going to do whatever it takes to try to win at all costs ..
In Team sports at all levels , being part of a team and winning it all within a team aspect that is the most important and thrilling !
Sorry , I totally disagree
Go Leafs Go!

Thats cool. Just pointing out why the team is as soft as butter.
And why Offense disappears, usually a few minutes after yet another soft goal.

Watch the shoulders. Just watch.

 

[egd27]

Or his shitty stats speak for themselves??

Reading for context is such a lost art.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Ron's a national treasure, watch yourself

 

[Gary Nylund]

Ron's a national treasure, watch yourself

And dry and boring - where's the contradiction here? Isn't it very Canadian to be boring?

Pretty funny that various posters have talked about how we should bring back Reimer or Bernier, just amazing stuff.

our fanbase is so big that a number of people want to run every prominent player out. Plenty of people want Nylander, Tavares and Rielly gone. Even Marner and Matthews get it sometimes. I don't think historically goalies have been particularly mistreated compared to guys like Kessel or Nylander tbh

Got Ron is so dry and boring now.

Over years he has become too political. He almost talks about more about life with hockey as opposed to hockey life

He also lost interest for the role it seems. He simply doesn’t speak out of turn or has any humour

hnic sucks now
