GDT: Maple Leafs @ Devils - 7:00 PM - MSG

[Leaf Rocket]

Good game tonight. Your goalie delivered and the Leafs bent but, didn't break. Gutsy win still believe we deserved a better outcome but, that's hockey.

You guys are hella exciting to watch and it was very fun. Frustrating playing you guys but I enjoy it lmao.

the good news is Carolina and Boston both lost, so we didnt even really lose any ground

Sorry but their goalie didn't deliver s--t.

At least one goal (the first one) should've been allowed and this game (at the bare minimum if things went the same way) should've had OT.

Loved the push at the end just couldn’t beat Murray tonight.

Just get back to it on Friday. Feel liked these guys are fine they still played their game and battled all night.

Buffalo won't be easy. Now all of a sudden on a baby heater of their own and filling the net with pucks. This Sabres team probably isn't making the playoffs but, they are making progress and Tage Thompson is a beast. Should be a fun tilt Friday night.

I mean, being only 6 points ahead doesn't exactly scream "the next game is a must win!" to me when we're barely a quarter of the way though the season. Just keep playing well and the standings will take care of themselves.

Oh I get that.

But in this division, you can't keep leaving points on the board, especially 2.

If they at least got it to OT (and got 1), it would've lessened the damage considerably.

Every point is precious...especially in this division that is so difficult to win.

Feels nice to be watching the standings and not for lottery positions!

Unfortunately, somebody did get hit :

ah yes.....the divided opinions of a golden shower

 

[Satans Hockey]

I saw several fans get dinged in the head pretty good with beer cans because people couldn't toss it over the net.

That being said Lindy Ruff in his post game interview pretty much hinted at that he enjoyed the hell out of it lol

The 1st goal was the one Chico was the most mad about on the post game show. He said Murray didn't even get pushed back the other way so that showed how there was no contact that affected the play.

The Isles and Rags say "Remember us?"

Honestly if a fourth goal was called back something bad was going to happen in that arena.

I almost wanted the Leafs to challenge the Hamilton goal for some shit to try to troll the crowd just to watch the world burn

I did too because I would have loved the resulting power play.

I thought only certain types of challenges (offside) got you dinged for a power play?

 

[Louskoolaid89]

Yep and they both still have superior goaltending. Still nice to have more points in the bank than them. I think we have the better team besides the great equalizer position...

They would have started throwing Leafs fans onto the ice instead of beers

Ugh, I don't know. Maybe. They've changed the rules on this so many times I have no idea what they are anymore.

what the f??

Honestly the Bastian goalie interference bothers me more. It was minor contact that typically doesn’t get called. I didn’t see Murray bitching about it.

Tatar could have easily got a penalty, it’s hard to get away with running into a goalie anywhere on the ice unless you’re pushed into him. (The refs f***ing it up so much that Toronto had to call in mid-game to say what they got wrong was pretty choice.)

The NHL has apparently called a holy war on kicking pucks after letting all sorts of things go last season.

I get why it could be disallowed but I don’t know if it’s exactly clear what it bounces off of. I’m not home and can’t rewatch the footage.

not worried about either team tbh.

It went off the defenseman's skate. May have hit something else first, too.

Interesting to lose a game 2-1 with 6 pucks beating Murray. Definitely not afraid of the Leafs. The first no goal was really the egregious one and the one that seemed like Kevin Rooney really wanted to put his finger on the scales.

 

[Satans Hockey]

Also in terms of the fans throwing stuff, I didn't throw anything but I don't care that our fans did.

I don't pay attention to what other fans or the general media says about our team or fans these days. Let em talk, they hate us anyway and always have.

They have disrespected our team for many years with the bs trap nonsense, no fans, parking lot parades, swamp, Barry Melrose bitching about Newark.

f*** em all.

 

[HughJazz3dg]

Guys I know it doesn’t matter, and it’s such a reach to dig back this far, but I feel like I remember our third disallowed goal counting against us when someone from Arizona scored?

This was YEARS ago, and maybe I’m remembering it completely wrong, but I swore a Yote kicked the puck, and it went off of Salvador and in, and they counted it as a good goal.

Am I insane or did this happen? I’m looking for it, not that it matters.

or adding the fan delay of game after the trash toss

Honestly I'm kinda surprised that doesn't exist now...but f*** it, they allowed Murray to delay the game for almost ten minutes so then the fans delayed it on them too
