GDT: Maple Leafs vs Flames The thursday (gezame)

[Anthrax442]

We need someone to narrate the game live

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Going from Ray Ferraro to Button is like if you were trying to make a hamburger but ran out of ground beef and had to use crushed up broken glass laced with arsenic

 

[Smif]

We all agree that button is a moron right?

I've never missed Ferraro so much.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Zad is 6'5. Everyone is below his shoulder
That's not a hit to the head. More like Kase head ran into his body

Well he’s 6’5” all the time so he has to be responsible for where his body is in relation to the opposition. His size isn’t an excuse

 

[hockeyes]

Pretty pathetic reffing so far

 

[Leafsfan74]

Me too. I have no problem with the hit, but I like competing and sticking up for your teammates. Not that dis-similar to Wayne the other night.

If you don't stand up for one another it's only a matter of time before you are next.

Reilly isn't the biggest guy but he's solid. Even the lightweights need to show bite or they will be victims of persistent physical targetting.

 

[notbias]

How come none of Clifford or Ritchie make the lineup with simmonds out?

This game is going to be extremely physical and we look unprepared

Unprepared? we have 17 shots and spent 8 mins on the PK

 

[IrishInOntario]

Time for Muzzin to flatten someone

Exactly. I've got nothing wrong with what Zadorov did, but you need a guy like Muzzin to line up Gaudreau and do the same thing. Just can't back down.

 

[The Podium]

Am I crazy or a homer for thinking Zadorov hits nothing but Kase’s head?

Seems like a size mismatch, nothing Zadorov could’ve done other than back off the hit.
Kase should’ve had his head up earlier unfortunately.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Hit was fine, maybe a touch high, but no targeting of the head.

So a high hit to the head is fine? Woooorrrd

 

[Eternal Leaf]

He’s always a big guy and needs to be responsible for where he hits others. Not an excuse.

Zadarov has six inches on Kase.

On top of that, Kase was leaning forward thus the exaggerated facial contact. The hit itself was clean even if it was to a Leafs player. There's no other way for him to hit Kase in that position.

Kind of similar to Trouba's hit on Khaira earlier this season.

 

[Warden of the North]

Who are the beat writers now? Shilton was the best at basically doing play by play on Twitter, who's doing it now? Who does game time lineups and such?

 

[saffronleaf]

Am I crazy or a homer for thinking Zadorov hits nothing but Kase’s head?

shoulder on head forearm on shoulder looks like

 

[Nylanderthal]

Clean hit

Maybe in the 90’s. Principle point of contact was the head period.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Rick ball and Kelly hrudey. Eric Francis and Ryan Leslie are the intermission “talent”

Francis has always annoyed me.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Going from Ray Ferraro to Button is like if you were trying to make a hamburger but ran out of ground beef and had to use crushed up broken glass laced with arsenic

And ingest it through your eyes.

 

[fahad203]

Well he’s 6’5” all the time so he has to be responsible for where his body is in relation to the opposition. His size isn’t an excuse

That's a clean as a hit you are going to see. There was no intent to hit the head
Key word is intent

Kase is 5'11 and Z is 6'5
THere's absolutley no he cannot hit him and not get his full body or every part of Kase's body

ALso, watch the hit in real time, not in slow mo

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Rick ball and Kelly hrudey. Eric Francis and Ryan Leslie are the intermission “talent”

Talk about a group of homers.

 

[aingefan]

Lili getting more assertive with the body every game. Good to see, not wreck less, smart positional physical play.

 

[Sypher04]

Being tall isn’t a blank cheque to hit people in the head because they are shorter. If you can’t deliver the check in a way that doesn’t make the principle point of contact the head, you don’t make the hit. End of story

 

[IrishInOntario]

Freakin' refs trying to hand the game to the Flames early...4 PPs for Flames already?!

Too many men was obvious... Interference on Holl was obvious... Mo absolutely instigated that "fight" so it was obvious... 3 of those 4 penaltoes were completely obvious. Hard not to call them.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Zadarov has six inches on Kase.

On top of that, Kase was leaning forward thus the exaggerated facial contact. The hit itself was clean even if it was to a Leafs player. There's no other way for him to hit Kase in that position.

That’s zadorovs problem not Kase. Zads is always 6’5” so it’s not an excuse to hit guys high. Either be better or don’t

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Here it is at full speed.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

I mean if our D threw that hit we'd be jumping out of our chairs saying LETS GOOOOOOO.


Kase needs to be more aware. But he fell nicely so I think he's fine. I'd be worried if his head hit the ice after.

No, those types of hits have no business in the game. It's a clear headshot and should be a suspension.

 

[Smif]

That's a headshot

Lmao, how are people saying not a headshot? C'mon...
