GDT: Minnesota @ Toronto - Saturday 7pm - SBA

[Seath The Scaleless]

Just give him the 10 now before it becomes 11

It's already 11

 

[Strangle]

I gotta stop following this thread. It's like a solid 60 seconds of game time behind

Ya me too, gotta be a streaming vs cable thing?

I just made my daughter think I was psychic calling that Willie goal a good minute before it actually happened

 

[fahad203]

Reaves is so much better than Simmonds at that role
He actually hits......

 

[RunItBackAgain]

It's already 11

OH f*** GIVE HIM 11 NOW BEFORE IT BECOMES 12 THEN

Leafs are out here scoring too many goals, everyone’s going to think scoring is ‘too easy’ this year.

So if Matthews pots 70 it’ll only be 35 goal equivalent to the adjusted stats people

Or we could say he's a great player and stop with the ridiculous takes

 

[Strangle]

I guess….would hep to have the same rules like every other sport does….but as we all know the rules change and the refs turn a blind eye to penalties that are called in regular season

Two different rules…only professional sport that does that

I hear ya, but I prefer the playoff rules personally.

So I’d just wish they called and played games like that all year

 

[PromisedLand]

Missed most of the period. How has the Minten line looked?

pretty average

No strong chances against even if none for either. given youth on that line I'd consider that is good

 

[therealkoho]

minten's line looks comfy today

Knies looks like he got some real monster in him

 

[Aashir]

Has John Tavares stole Huberdeau playmaking?

 

[MK78]

Great period for the Leafs. Matthews is unreal.

 

[Strangle]

Or we could say he's a great player and stop with the ridiculous takes

I was obviously taking shots at adjusted stats

 

[Notsince67]

Nylanders a beauty. Give him a blank cheque. I don't care anymore. Tell Marner to take a discount or get out.

Yeah hard to get on board with anyone who wants to jettison one of our best players to make a point of one of our best players. This kind of shit flies way to much around here

Reaves is night and day difference. We probably have the best enforcer in the league. Im not used to seeing this much toughness on the leafs.

We need someone on defense though. Sad we couldnt keep Luke Schenn

 

[BTP]

Damn our offence is filthy this year. And to think lines are still building chemistry. How good is it that the new guys were all here for training camp and not at the TDL where they have 3 weeks to get comfortable.

 

[frizzer1]

A few years ago Matthews had 10 goals in his first 6 games.

 

[Da Mash]

Willy just does things in the ice that few can

But for whatever reason is not truly appreciated….reminds me of the time Sundin spent here

 

[al secord]

I don't hear anything other than Jen Boterill's thoughts on Reaves setting the tone

 

[Anthrax442]

Please sign Willy already

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

pretty average

No strong chances against even if none for either. given youth on that line I'd consider that is good

Minten is looking better now that it’s game #2. Hopefully his comfort level will continue to grow as he goes through these 9 games and possibly beyond.

I wish we had Schenn still too

This team has a different identity with reaves and bert and domi though. I like it

 

[SprDaVE]

I'd consider demoting Domi to put a little more forecheck with Nylander and Tavares. Maybe a simple Knies and Domi swap of lines. I'd even consider bumping Gregor up.

I'm a Domi fan but he's not playing well at all.

 

[PromisedLand]

Leaf stars don't have to play in fear. Wasn't that way for a decade. It shows, they're footloose and fancy free. Thank you, Mr. Treliving.

 

[Notsince67]

I don't hear anything other than Jen Boterill's thoughts on Reaves setting the tone

She watched this week's episode of Shoresy

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

The hit was clean I’ve no idea what’s controversial about it.

 

[Strangle]

If Muzzin could still play …. Ugh I’ll never stop missing the good jake
