GDT: Leafs vs Blues Saturday night showdown

[Burnie97]

Yup that's a penalty

 

[93gilmour93]

Good old Norris Division battle tonight

 

[Leafidelity]

Kyrou is a clown

 

[Sypher04]

Lol their dumbass fans are actually booing the call

 

[saffronleaf]

thank god willy looks ok.

this kyroo piece of shit needs to be beaten down

 

[klmdg]

The audicity of the refs to call a blatant penalty

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Better power play so far.

 

[2 Slick]

They keep going back to Campbell because Mrazek is playing like Raycroft and Toskala combined in one. Campbell has been playing way over his ability to sustain, no goaltender can have a save percentage above .940 the entire season, it’s just not happening. It’s kind of good that he’s being brought back to reality, tired of the media talking about how he’s a favourite for the Vezina. Ridiculous to talk about this early in the season.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Never seen Willy play with this much confidence before.

 

[garce]

Kyrou thought he had immunity

Agreed

 

[Stonehands 1]

i guess 1-outa 10 is a decent penalty fo these refs

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Would be a mistake. He's a good GM not his fault if these players can't get it done. He had to try it. We're in a really good retool position

He had committed to these players. He even said he is never going to trade Nylander as long as he is GM. Unfortunately for him, he has put his trust into guys who don’t seem to be concerned about winning. It’s a shame really because he’s been fantastic at other things. He’s had some killer trades and draft picks

 

[IrishInOntario]

I don't know when teams like Toronto and Edmonton are going to realize that no matter what the rulebook says, the refs aren't going to call a fraction of the penalties out there, and as a result, playing a skilled, rough, obstructive game is advantageous.

 

[Havoc]

tavares needs to make a pass. That's a tap in for nylander

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Refs only made the call because there was only a minute left in the period, ensuring that the Leafs PP would be broken up.

 

[Apex Predator]

We all knew that at some point Campbell was going to go through a struggling stretch. He wasn’t going to keep up his .930 save%. Leafs just need to make sure it’s only a small stretch and gets back to solid goaltending and solid defense.

 

[Jojalu]

Damnit. The angle on rhe Reilly point shot was just so I thought it deflected and was going in

 

[Superstar]

That Kyrou guy is a pretty dirty player, I guess he's okay if the refs let him get away with it.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Lol their dumbass fans are actually booing the call

Eff them!

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Terrible period

 

[Raging Bull]

I don't know when teams like Toronto and Edmonton are going to realize that no matter what the rulebook says, the refs aren't going to call a fraction of the penalties out there, and as a result, playing a skilled, rough, obstructive game is advantageous.

When the Leafs start doing that, the refs will pull out the whistles.

Nylander has been excellent. Not sure what you mean by saying he's not committed to winning, but it was pretty stupid

 

[keonsbitterness]

Same here

Well, Nylander is one player I don't think he should trade, so that shouldn't be an issue.

If they don't win 1, maybe 2 playoff rounds at least though, he, or whoever is in charge will have to make a fairly substantial change to the core you would think.
