GDT: Maple Leafs (15-8-1) vs Capitals (13-10-1) | 7:00 PM EST | Hockey Night In Canada!

[CelticDruid]

Moore, Bozak, Komorov should just retire already lol

 

[Al14]

I never played goal, but I think I can do better

Yeah, maybe, against Novice level shooters that is!

 

[MJ65]

Game over.

Leafs first game shut out this season here.

There are 2 more periods left and they are going to score, they just need to keep the puck out of there own net

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Also why are Polak and Martin in this game? Did we not win yesterday?

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Outside of those two shots, Washington has shown nothing. Leafs controlling possession. Lots of time to get it back.

Seriously, we've looked like the better team.

 

[htpwn]

I guess that period was our punishment for winning last game. We probably deserved better than being down 2-0.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

This is the third game in four nights, Babs said he wanted some fresh legs on the ice.

 

[Discordia]

Figured this was coming. I think we parlay this into a nice losing streak, too. This team has played like crap since Babcock started changing the way we played.

This is going to get ugly, folks.

 

[mcleex]

Man ovie doesn't age well. What's with all the grey lol

 

[Gallagbi]

But Ovechkin doesn't average anywhere near a goal per game against most teams. The leafs are especially bad at it.

All teams have a few guys who just happen to play godly in their building. For Ovi it seems to be us.

 

[MoreMogilny]

What are you talking about? They have been by far the better team tonight.

Goaltending is part of the team equation.

 

[MJ65]

I have a pretty good feeling for tonight's game as long as McBackup do not give up any softies and I know we are down by 2

 

[BM14]

I never played goal, but I think I can do better

Come out to shinny one night, lol.

 

[Sniper99]

I dont understand how Bodog odds makers had the Caps as Underdog with Mclhenny in net. Easy money.

 

[Warden of the North]

Where are all the people who said they didnt like winning last night because we didnt "deserve" it. Shouldnt they be thrilled with the moral victory being achieved thus far?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

This is the third game in four nights, Babs said he wanted some fresh legs on the ice.

idc if he played yesterday, Carrick is much more fit to play than Polak. same goes for Leivo and Moore

 

[WilliamNylander]

Don cherry with the HOT take there

 

[saffronleaf]

Matthews needs to respond.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

All teams have a few guys who just happen to play godly in their building. For Ovi it seems to be us.

Crosby has 55 points in 35 games against the leafs. Malkin similar numbers.

I mean... it's a thing that everyone knows about. The leafs have been horrible at shutting down other teams star players. It's been over a decade. Don't know why you're in denial about it.

 

[MJ65]

It's hard to keep Matthews quiet for 60 minutes, so I am still hopeful as long as do not give up any softies

 

[Melrose Munch]

Why does don cherry like Andersen so much lol?

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Grapes praising OV, Tarasenko

What universe am I in right now

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Ovie being Ovie and scoring against Toronto...

Leafs must have more shot attempts and have had some high danger opportunities. Game is far from over

 

[ToMaLe]

Don Cherry saying the same thing I was saying about Martin with Matthews and Marner. Agree 100%

 

[Liferleafer]

What the Hell are you on about? If we lose the 2nd of a back to back with our backup goalie in....the sky will fall?

7-1-1 in our last 9....i don't think 1 loss will end our season.
