GDT: Leafs v Jets....again 7pm

[Mats13]

Wow jets fans are delusional

They’re acting like these last two games have been even hard fought contests

Without Hellybuck they look worse than Vancouver half the time

 

[A1LeafNation]

Hopefully Fred shows up tonight.

 

[TopCheese]

Any changes to the lineup tonight? Really want galchenyuk to get a shot

When you lack talent and playing a better team it is a uphill and hard fought battle for that team to keep up.

I see nothing wrong with what they are saying.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

I just want points (plural) and the chance to slap my hands together and go "holy shit! what a goal ___!"

That's not too much to ask on a warm and fuzzy Saturday night is it?

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Wait! Are they wearing the St. Pats jerseys tonight? Was that also in my dream? (goes rummaging for that St Pats toque)

They were hard fought contests from what I could tell.

It might surprise you to learn that on the season, Winnipeg's team SV% is exactly the same as ours. That's not a bad team at all they have over there.

Sounds good to me. And as an added bonus, I would love to have some "holy shit! what a save" moments as well.

"yeah but their goalie......."

pssst Leafs fans, goalie is part of the team (a big part)

 

[Warden of the North]

Boyd in for Agostino

All reports of Galchenyuk are that hes a reclamation project who needs significant work in the AHL before he'll get a sniff in the NHL again.

 

[Nooodles]

I hope we win this one, but it's already a great day for me since I had my first ever game as a colour commentator and I had the chance to talk about the Bruins while they got shut down by the Rangers lol.

I was so freaking nervous during the first but settled after that, couldn't believe how bad the Bruins were.

We have to beat Helly again somehow.

 

[hoglund]

"yeah but their goalie......."

I remember 2002, the Leafs had Curtis Joseph in net and they went to the conference finals, but without him they were out 1st or 2nd round.

HelleBryuckwall?

We'll see.

Don't forget to reset your clocks everyone! I'm gonna do it right now and fall asleep too early.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Bad rebuttal. If leafs were getting handily outplayed most games but their goalie was saving their asses, I'd be pissed.

Cool, what league did you do commentary for?

Yeah I'm not the type to complain about Freddy at all. I don't think he lets in softies really.

He's our best goalie since those Cujo/Belfour days by a mile.

I really like Campbell though, but his injuries are a real concern.

Seems like our goalie situation is getting a bit questionable as far as next season is concerned. But that's next season so why worry now?

You missed the word even

I’m sure they tried their best but those games were not even by any stretch of the imagination

 

[Leaftors]

the game wasn’t close and he wasn’t his normal self to start the year. He literally is the only reason the game was even remotely close last game.

No one worse than Oiler fans tho. That mainboard thread about McDavid and thread about the Leafs not being contenders are just yikes. Their inferiority complex knows no bounds.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Bad rebuttal. If leafs were getting handily outplayed most games but their goalie was saving their asses, I'd be pissed.

That wasn't a rebuttal but a sarcastic support type of comment to the poster I quoted, who generally posts very reasonable and experienced things.

 

[smokes lets go]

broissont getting the nod tonight. Guess helle must be gassed from standing on his head the last 2 games.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Boyd in for Agostino

All reports of Galchenyuk are that hes a reclamation project who needs significant work in the AHL before he'll get a sniff in the NHL again.

He’s looked extremely good in the AHL. His shot, vision and creativity are way beyond that league.
I’m liking his defensive awareness and commitment there as well.
Only thing I could maybe criticize is that he seems light on his skates. He loses his balance perhaps too easily when there is contact from other players engaging on the boards and elsewhere a bit.
Another bit of good news is that his Marlie teammates have spoken about what a great guy he is with zero selfish attitude.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

So is it the St Pats jerseys tonight? Gotta figure out how to mix blue/green for the extra luck.

 

[forecheck]

NEWSFLASH - Only One Player in NHL is playing with a nagging injury - Thanks Sportsnet !

 

[Teeder Keon]

There are thousands and thousands of topics and bullshit that can he going on in this conversation between Willy Styles and Magic Mitch ........
How to play hungry and hard defensively isn’t one of them ....
