GDT: Leafs vs Kings - 7pm - HNIC.

[Evilhomer]

Every so often they turn up and put in an effort, I'm hoping it's one of those days

The Leafs probably benefit from the early start time on the west coast relative to the Kings

When they are on, the Leafs can beat anyone.

I hope they come in and play for pride, and send a message and make this a statement game.

If they half-ass it, they are going to get smoked. Hopefully they show up and take it.

Funny thing is some of us religiously watched the 80's Leafs and knew they were a bad team, but we were much younger and maybe there wasn't so many entertainment options then, but we watched and cheered.

They made the 2nd. round twice.

I don't remember being underwhelmed.

Those are the days that hurt because they make you believe in what the team can be

If Keefe could just keep them motivated they could win/challenge the league.

 

[Aashir]

This game needs to be a win I originally said win the next 3 of 4 with my head thinking Sj, Anaheim, and one of la/florida being a win

Now we need both of those games to be a win, and it starts tonight. Please no horrendous goaltending, please don’t take penalties, cause we can’t kill them for shit, please more pps so we keep scoring.

 

[therealkoho]

One at a time, tonight is the priority. It's old but they need to start on time, and take no shifts off, 100% every shift, and be ready because the Kings will hit you every chance they get.

GLG

Keefe?

 

[TheGreatOne11]

It's already written in stone that this is a win. It's just so Leafs to let in 6 against one of the worst teams in the league, only to show up a few days later and dominate a better team.

100% written in the stars already.

A good line brawl never hurts.

Yup and them the very next game they suck the life force right out of your body

Any word on lines?

Jamcock on the third with Scotty and Domi.

Lorentz, Kampf and Sir Pontus.

Seems Benoit is in which surprises me a bit

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

I thought I read Holmberg was in but it did not say for whom.

Idk why I read this as Holmberg possibly dressing for the Kings

lol - Kings had an injury so needed a loaner

I didn't want to start a new thread to ask this...

Does anyone remember the last time (before Thursday's game) that the Leafs scored two goals in the last minute to tie a game and force overtime?

I don't remember ever having watched them do it before that game, and I've seen hundreds and hundreds of Leafs games. I remember the comeback against CLB in that qualifying series and that they tied up last season's opener with two late goals, but I don't think they scored two goals in the last minute of either of those games.

Overall, it was a pretty poor outing against a bad team, but seeing a rare multi goal comeback in the final minute made me feel it wasn't totally pointless to stay up and watch the game.

I think it's happened a few times over the past years but not often. We aren't a push back team and haven't had one since Dougy, Sundin and Roberts.

 

[Evilhomer]

LA players must be irritated that they have to play an afternoon game to accomodate the Leafs.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Drop the puck

How about 3 in 3 minutes? Remember Columbus in the playoffs? That was something to watch, no fans in the stands to watch history.

They lose the final game as usual so it was all for nought.

Were we down 2-1 in that series? I remember that comeback but not much else of that series.

imagine if that game had fans, and when Matthews scored in OT the building would of erupted

It was my son's birthday in August so I had my family over to watch, it was a fun celebration with 20+ of us in my family room.

Thanks. Benoit had a rough night but he's been good since we turfed Timmins. Would be nice to see OEL on his natural side though.

 

[DarkKnight]

Yikes, that aerial shot of Edmonton, still looks like mid January lol. Hard pass.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Play better. Good advice Craig.
