GDT: Leafs vs Oil. 9pm, TSN4

[PromisedLand]

Most surprising part of the first 20 mins is Tavares wasn't completely outskated and was not caught by McJesus line

 

[mikeyz]

Lemieux was superior to McDavid in every way except footspeed.

Lol, dude, stop.

Lemieux at 35 had 1.73 PPG during the lowest scoring era since original 6.

When McD loses all of his speed when he turns 35 we can come back and discuss who is better again.

And it was also a time where forwards, defencemen and goalies were smaller and generally slower and goalies had about 10 pounds less equipment on.

With McDavid’s speed, he would have EASILY cracked 200 points every year. Likely a lot more.

Nope.

yea I had one of those big Satellite Dishes my Dad hooked up, and got all the Pens game, still not sure how I became a leafs fan after watching that, guess I wanted to be tortured lol

I grew up in Montreal. You know how we salivate of McDavid coming home?
Montrealers were different about Lemiuex and Bourque

Serious jealousy, like your ex girlfriend syndrome, with the hottest girl ever.
They coudn't believe, Mario wasn't playing for the Habs

 

[Evilhomer]

My goodness, if we have reached the point of questioning whether Mario Lemieux was better than Connor McDavid, then all hope is lost. Maybe next we can compare Bobby Orr to Quinn Hughes.

 

[Enniskillen]

Is anyone else tired of these "ex-Leaf is going to score tonight" posts? They just feel lazy.

That being said, it would be interesting to see if ex-Leafs really do score more against the Leafs than other ex-players do against their former teams, but I'm not sure anyone has the time to do that kind of study. But as I say, without any kind f statistical support, these poss feel lazy.

When ex Leafs always outwork this team, that’s lazy, no doubt about it.

People always complain the SN panels, but there is only one person worth listening to the TSN panel: Cheryl Pounder.

Great to see a fellow high school alumni doing well, she's extremely knowledgeable always has been. She was better then 90 % of our boys high school team and we had a great team.

 

[mikeyz]

lol, I’m guessing you never watched Lemieux play, if you did, you just are really bad at evaluating

I did watch him play his whole career. I am an early 80s baby. McDavid is better. His speed with the puck alone makes him better.

 

[Leaffan1991]

I remember the first game i saw Mario play and it was one after he came back from cancer. I was so excited until he started coo

Orr AINEC

 

[ULF_55]

It's ok to hit Leafs.. That's how you nullified speed

So fricken frustrating that they won't even get in the way.

All business, great insights.

[mikeyz]

Nope.

Lol. That’s all you got for a rebuttal eh?

My point has been proven. Lol.

 

[keonsbitterness]

You’re right, it is silly, because McDavid is better.

He's not.

You live in Pittsburgh to see all those games?

This!

pokechecks will only go so far....

 

[fahad203]

We need more out of Nylander.
But I still think Knies not ready for top 6

There is no questioning it. McDavid is better!!!

Point, blank, period, the end.

 

[Leafs87]

Leafs are getting outplayed

The cutch and grab era.
Lemieux and Gretzky in a non hitting nhl look out.
Imagine Bobby Orr in today's hockey back then it was tough hockey

You can't compare era's

 

[Racer88]

Not a bad 1st period. I wonder if they have 2 more in them

 

[fahad203]

TSN panel is night day compared to Sportsnet
Toronto Star vs Toronto Sun

Not a bad 1st period. I wonder if they have 2 more in them

We we will find out. Jones did his part
But the looks of it, McDavid looks hungry.

Brodie looks terrible. Gio should just retire

You are from the EDM board right?
Must be, to be that clueless.
