GDT: Penguins @ Leafs - 7pm EST, Nov 11th. Lest We Forget.

Keefe really acted it out there in the end. He theatrically went to the papers and wrote something negative down.

hopefully he splits Matthews and Marner up in the 3rd... dude, they ARE NOT!!!!!! gelling....

[Confucius]

It’s usually after December that he shakes his OHL stuff and gets to business. I notice his early season is usually full of fluffy garbage.

Still the team points leader. Man you guys are tough.

We need to trade him for a top 4 D broski!

 

[ACC1224]

I know this is pessimistic, but I see Sandin being a dermott 2.0, better offence but worse defence

He has not shown any improvement from last year

Dermott is better

 

[Amadeus]

It's really tough to be patient with Sandin right now. Too many mistakes.

 

[Wendelstache]

(not cool with marner getting another 2nd apple for doing none of the work)

Was Karma for the nice pass that Willy missed on the first chance, but yes Mitch still needs to pick it up.

 

[93gilmour93]

And does what?

Leader with Matthews struggling a bit.

It also doesn't help that when things aren't working for Marner he tends to try and do too much himself and that results in increased cough-ups and terrible decisions...

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Can we please try Matthews with Nylander? Why is the only player who shows up for big moments stuck on the 2nd line? Tavares will be fine with Marner.

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ironically... Tavares and Marner are a way better duo then Matthews and Marner... facts..

O'Neill again getting all the ladies in the studio.... that ear ring of his does it eeerrrtime. It gets the ladies and a man with one ear ring on his left ear (tells a Mark that he is hetero) gets them all everytime.

That's not going to happen. Go read @Teeder Keon 's post #660 I think. That's exactly what would happen.

 

[frizzer1]

Johnson is right, don’t know why Matthews isn’t in a spot to shoot. Maybe his wrist is injured again and the Leafs have just decided to not say anything about it?

Exactly!

Good grief... is he that far gone? I know last time I watched tv, he was way overweight... ffs.... lmfao.... glad I watch my games on my PC and I am not succumbed to that haha!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Mark Fraser. He should probably be answering for his vehement defence of Mitch Miller but I doubt Duthie and TSN are going to do that.

 

[Hellcat]

The team just ties it up and a defence man pulls a drop pass hero move in the last 2 minutes of the period at the blue line.. That has been a cardinal sin in hockey since I've been playing and that goes back to the early 80's. Take a guess who gave the puck away in the LV game, then bumped his goalie out of the crease to give an open netter to LV. I don't think I could try and be this bad. He needs to get it through his head the 5/6 dman needs to give safe minutes not try to be the hero. He's forcing the game and doing a shit job of it too.

We would actually have more points in the standings if Sandin was benched, that is how bad he is. If WAR was a thing in hockey he'd be a negative.

he did?

At the end of the day, he was a Leaf... albeit, not a very good one lol... showing my age lol

Was he arguing from the point of inclusion?

 

[93gilmour93]

Ok let’s have a big third period and put these penguins away to get the weekend started right

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

he did?

Yeah he posted a few tweets basically pushing back on the idea that Miller didn’t do anything to make amends with Isaiah or put in the work to show he’s changed. Miller’s (former?) agent used to rep Mark so I assume that’s why he was going to bat for him before Boston dropped him.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Gad we desperately need one line to be young energetic, tough , mean , fast , pissed off , hitting machines crossing the lines , team first , truculent players .
There has to be in this world 3 individuals that actually fill these positions , sure to god there has to be , just as a F%<>€#£ ing off set to the other 9 that play it another way .
It’s not any of the past needs we’ve been saying ..
1 first line D Man with snarl
1line 3 players that play it a different way
We will never win without it !

 

[Burnie97]

Back to the 1st line and looks good

Punch Imlach once stopped a practice after a dman dropped one at the blueline and he screams across the ice
"Rupp how long you been playing this f###ing game?"
"all my life coach"
"then you should f###ing know there are 6 places in the NHL that you never ever do that, do you know where those places are, Rupp?"
"uhmm not sure coach!"
"No eh, well Boston, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Montreal and here in Toronto, but I'll tell you what you can do whatever the f### you want to do in Rochester, so hit the showers and go pack!"
