GDT: LEAFS @ WILD – DECEMBER 4TH, 2021 (7:00pm EST – SPORTSNET/CBC)

Really like how Bunting stepped right in after Greenway hit AM. Then Simmonds came in. Thats something we have not seen for the past few years

Atta boy Wayne.

Wild playing like this is a game seven at home, taking runs at our boys and can’t even put a dent in the Leafs. Great response there by Simmonds to settle the score after the Wild take a run at Matthews and Bunting raising the issue. Hopefully Ritchie comes to collect too later and Muzzin can blast Kaprizov into lower orbit.

Love this atmosphere and love the fight by the Leafs. This is one of the things the early Dubas teams were missing

Now Ritchie needs to step up too

 

[Black hat blue eyes]

Matthew went in on the hit and fell and I guess bunts thought he got hit and then went after foligno...

 

[stewpac]

I’m pretty sure foligno jump off the bench for that fight

 

[Burnie97]

Playoff type atmosphere I love it

I was thinking that too. Minny looks good but Leafs are hanging well for a road game.

Excellent road 1st period thus far

yup

 

[Nylander88]

Man this is what this team has been missing in the past! Matthews gets hit. Bunting steps in in a complete mismatch against Greenway to have his teammates back, and then Simmer comes in to throw hands. Love to see it

Creates a sense of team. We've lacked this significantly in the past

 

[TMLeafer]

Love the response by Bunting and Simmonds!!

Foligno literally jumped off the bench to do that. Got someone else to hop off and jumped on to start a fight. That's.... not great for him?

Foligno was subbing off I don't think he went off the ice completely before coming back on.

 

[Polaris1010]

There was a fight!

Guess I should post, hehe.

Not many fights with this team last year I suppose.

 

[capfit9]

foligno off the bench to fight they gotta look into that

 

[inthe6ix]

So how many shutouts does Talbot have in his career?

24

 

[Nineteen67]

That’s how you play hockey. At some point tonight, Matthews needs to hit someone with borderline suspension type hit and have Simmonds come in and clean up the mess.

 

[Morgs]

Did Foligno come off the bench? 10 game susssssyyyy

 

[Canada4Gold]

Saw that too.. he jumped off the bench a la David Clarkson - suspension?

Not exactly the same thing since someone else went off. Not sure if the whistle had gone at that point, but I still don't think you can change entirely for the purpose to start a fight. It could be a potential issue for him.

 

[Wendelstache]

Ritchie needs to make himself useful and chase Greenway throughout the game...

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Brodie has wrapped Kaprizov up in a blanket all game so far.

I don't think he cared if anyone was coming off the ice, he just jumped right off the bench to confront Simmonds who was going to go with Greenway.

League should look at it, but doubt anything happens.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Love the response by Bunting and Simmonds!!



Foligno was subbing off I don't think he went off the ice completely before coming back on.

He was sitting on the boards with both skates off the ice. Which presumably someone else was already on for him. I would assume that constitutes being off the ice. He then subbed back on I think as the whistle was going, but even that I think is not allowed if you're doing it to start a fight.

 

[Notsince67]

Ritchie needs to make himself useful and chase Greenway throughout the game...

If he want to keep a job, he better take a hint

 

[Leafsfan74]

This is a reminder of how teams will play Leafs in the post season. It would be a good time to stand up and be counted. Provide a little faith that they can meet the challenge.

 

[Racer88]

Hate those late goals

 

[LeafsFan89]

Back to the trend of last minute goals against eh?

 

[leafsfan5]

Well that sucks

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Well shit. I actually thought Campbell got that rebound for a sec.
