GDT: Round 2 Game 3 Baby! 6:30pm (rolls eyes) - Leafs vs Florida - The BWO presents Florida with the Leaf Nation Road Show

[Isaac Nootin]

Is Wes McCauley reffing tonight’s game for sure?

The NHL isnt even hiding how much they hate the Leafs. Lol.

When are we going to drop this conspiracy theory?

Leafs were 5-0-1 in Wes McCauley officiated games in the regular season though, so maybe this isn't actually a historic factor.

Trend ends tonight

You're assuming those junk "stats" mean SFA. They don't.

Florida is overrated is all i know

 

[Racer88]

if it's 11/7 then nobody, otherwise I'd imagine ZAR (ugh)

That’s a scary thought. I sure wish we had some depth

Can you give me some specific examples?

I dont think the leafs should care if wayne gretzky comes out of retirement and decides to lace it up for the panthers.

Just win.

There maybe a hockey equivalent to the "rope-a-dope"at play here that these stats just aren't accounting for:

The rope-a-dope is a boxing fighting technique in which one contender leans against the ropes of the boxing ring and draws non-injuring offensive punches, letting the opponent tire himself out. This gives the former the opportunity to then execute devastating offensive punches to help them win. The rope-a-dope is most famously associated with Muhammad Ali in his October 1974 Rumble in the Jungle match against world heavyweight champion George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire.

Yeah, there are literally no external factors that the Toronto Maple Leafs should look to other than their star players, team structure and effort level. They said to the world that the Leafs have a special core that has more talent than everyone else, go put up or shut up. No one cares about your weak willed excuses.

I'm not going to spend a lot of time defending Wes McCauley, but you think he officiates a normal game during the regular season but then exacts his revenge in the playoffs?

If an official's name is highly recognizable then that's a problem. A good official doesn't draw attention to himself, unlike this McCauley jackass.

They match up pretty close to what the eye test says about those game - including what happened during the Bruins series

 

[ClarkSittler]

So Simmonds is playing, interesting.

 

[leafsfan5]

We’re playing Simmonds I actually can’t believe it lmfao

Keefe is awful

 

[HockeyVirus]

 

[BigBlu]

No to Simmonds

 

[123offtheglass]

11-7 is my guess

Did you not watch last game ? Let him beat the f*** out of Bennett.

 

[rocketman588]

Holl-Gus seems like a gamble

 

[napoleon in rags]

This game could be shambolic, lol

 

[leafan11]

No to Simmonds

You think ZAR is going to make a bigger impact?
