GDT: Sens @ Leafs - 7pm - HNIC

[wingman75]

Huge game tonight. You know the Sens will be coming out hard! How do our guys react? Can they dictate the pace?

17 games for this team to get their shit together.

Nice to see the lineup changes. Those should not be as much of a story as they are... because they should have happened already.

Honestly, my expectations are low... so... I guess if they give another full 60 minute effort that might be higher than what I expect regardless of outcome... which is sad as fck.

Dewar 2 goals in 2 games as a Penguin lmao

Timmins has 3 points in 4 games as well..

I haven't commented much but some people like JT AM da real have been calling out our pro scouting as being suspect. I tend to agree.

Finally some lines that I like...

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Last 5 games shows 1 single circus time shootout win.

Yeah that's called a slump, it happens to literally every team over an 82 game season.

It's not a big deal.

I see Jensen is out. I'm assuming he's hurt?

Yes

Timmins has 3 points in 4 games as well..

I thought getting rid of Timmins was a mistake. RHD, who had better on ice results this year than Myers or Benoit. I appreciate that they like "BIG", but at the end of the day, what are the results when they play.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Tavares is lowkey having a solid year

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Doesn’t sound good but it sounds about right.
They are what they are.

Always add contract year. Most do. Lots also fall off a cliff the following season as they are old and care a lot less.

I swear to f***ing god man this team is cursed.

Elbows high baby!

Coaching?

Opportunity?

 

[Racer88]

Teams that bring a lot of energy are incredibly difficult for this team to deal with most of the time. Hopefully the line shuffling can help offset that problem tonight.
60 minute effort or they’ll be sorry.

So what you meant was that against teams that really try the Leafs have been found wanting

I don't think we ever gave him a shot off of the 4th line

Just to level with you too I don't actually mind the Tampa matchup all that much. I've really liked how the team has figured out Vasi in the previous series they've played against him. But I really do think FLorida is on their way to winning the division unfortunately.

I would like to play Tampa too, with home ice so I can fly south for games three and four.

 

[TorMapleJays]

Man. Losing all my ignore list with the updates sure sucks. Hopefully they can allow ignore option soon cause it’s unbearable with the trolls.

Happy to be back.

 

[Confucius]

Pretty simple. He's useless defensively.

Aren’t 3rd lines checking lines? 11.5 million, I hope he gets at least 12 minutes tonight. lol, it’s a circus

 

[Antropovsky]

I also find it quite interesting and frustrating that no matter what it's only ever Nylander (team's best goalscorer this season) that gets 3rd line duties out of the core four

Nylander is the most complete offensive player we have. He can pass, he can shoot and he's an incredible skater. He probably doesn't mind not having to share carrying the puck with someone else and he's proven to be able to produce without a star linemate. They probably also want him also to get easier defensive assignments.

Move us to the west !

Game hasn't even started and this place is absolutely toxic.

Dude, it's 3 "toxic" posts or so to start a thread early in the morning.
Those of you complaining about the complaining - you know who you are - give it a rest already.

 

[Suntouchable13]

However I feel about this team right now aside, I am pumped for this game. Battle of Ontario with high stakes is great. Both teams are playing for something.
