GDT: Maple Leafs @ Oilers || 8PM EST

[DarkKnight]

Cant start a fire without a spark

This guns for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark

 

[Stephen]

Because playing won’t make the injury worse?

What kind of serious performance altering injury doesn’t get worse with repeated hockey. Doesn’t seem to make a lot of physical sense.

 

[CelticDruid]

Why did we trade for an upper tier C to play him with JT on the wing

Have we not learned yet from the naz trade

Perhaps it's all to do with hurting Tavares feelings?

Maybe Tavares ends up playing on the 3rd line.

 

[Eye Test]

I don't know....like I get having passes off and not being as crisp as usual, that was to be expected

This is something else, there's no fight

Legit Garbo city. Their casino is the size of fallsviews bathroom.

 

[SprDaVE]

At least the honeymoon phase of these deadline moves wasn't long.. nice reality check that the team has a lot of work to do before they think they can beat Tampa or Boston in a series.

Lightning are probably saying the same after losing 7-3 to Pittsburgh earlier this week.

Some of the posters here are out to lunch.

This is ONE game and the Leafs just brought in a ton of new players. They're playing a pissed off McDavid that lost to Boston the other night. They're also on a pretty long road trip. Let's just wait a couple games before we start going nuts.

With that said I would love to see Holl shot out of a ****ing cannon

That would explain a loss, it wouldn't explain getting absolutely dummied and embarrassed one day after you talked about stepping up for your GM who went all in

 

[ACC1224]

Mitch super elite

 

[Sniper99]

alright MM16

Maybe who knows

Why not get a LW at that point

 

[Aashir]

Schenn can't play all those minutes. no comment on Lily cause he looks lost tonight. Might be stoned like the rest of the guys who went to the Bruce concert.

Rielly shouldn’t be too pairing at all. I doubt Schenn can’t play lyubushkins role from last year but better. Play Rielly second pairing in a shelter ozone role.

Force McCabe Brodie to workZ

 

[Leaffan1991]

That's one, just keep pushing back

 

[All Mod Cons]

There we go. All you doubters. We're winning this period already.

 

[93gilmour93]

Let the comeback begin

 

[McSnypsky]

Exactly staying in Canada the next few days where the herb is legal!

Think this will be the spring that settles whether the gap is a core issue and not an everything else issue.

 

[Cleetus]

there we go!

 

[ClarkSittler]

Nice shot Mitch!

Comeback is on.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

This lack of passion from Matthews is really disconcerting. He looks like he’s skating in mud. He has to have some underlying issue we’re not aware of. Cause if that’s not the case and he plays like this in the playoffs, I’m afraid he’ll never be that guy that can carry a team. If that’s the case, and we lose in the first round, then he should be the one to go this summer.

The answer is clear as day

 

[Altair]

Nice Mitch

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

There's our best player right there.

 

[Torontonian]

Well there’s one.. Being down 4-1 instead of 5-1 would have been huge.

 

[Aashir]

Marner trying his best. Gotta respect that

 

[Mr_Fun]

Showing signs of life!

...then again, so is my dead underwear pile.

[Altair]

Long way to go... but if any team can play for 1 period and win it's the Leafs
