[Metroid]

Excited for bro vs bro and kallgren

 

[Fogelhund]

Kallgren. No pressure, but you need to be the saviour.

 

[leafsfan5]

There really is no pressure for Kallgren. All he has to do is be above .880 and we’re celebrating. If he sucks he sucks

 

[DarkKnight]

Lets go Lyub.

 

[Coachcorner]

Lets go Lyub.

Lyub sire..... always make me want to more lube. There's almost never enough.

 

[DarkKnight]

Make stop pucks.

 

[Burnie97]

Let's Go Kallgren. Just give us the basic saves and hopefully the D can clean up the rebounds. Keep the odd man rushes down.

It sucks being without Matty but no reason the Leafs still can't get a bunch of goals on Holtby.

Glad Robertson gets to play against his brother. Hopefully that'll amp him up for a couple tonight.

Go Leafs Go

Edit: not Holtby there other goalie. Just noticed afterwards.

 

[napoleon in rags]

Don't let any in from insanely sharp angles and you'll be OK. Or dribblers through the five-hole.

Take out Matthews and Leafs forward group looks a lot less dangerous.

Bunting-Tavares-Marner
Robertson-Kerfoot-Nylander

Take out the best player from any team and they look a lot worse.

 

[BTP]

Dallas is a good team, so we wont lose.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Lets go Lyub.

I’ve been wanting to see these 2 together

so do the same to everytime and you’ll realize the best player is the best player for a reason….

Though that would be true for the other 31 teams, no? Few teams can shrug off missing the 1C without it impacting them even a little bit

Never mind that most team's best players are nowhere near as good as Matthews...

Yeah doubly so when that player is also one of the very best in the world

Do

 

[Sypher04]

Excited to see the defense pairings.

I like it all around. Rielly with some big, stay at home, net clearing help. Sandin and Liljegren back together on the third where they belong at this point in their development.

Feel much better about this configuration than I have in a couple weeks

 

[DraftSchmaft]

New game. New slate. lets goooooooooo

 

[LeafsFan89]

I told myself last GDT that I would take some time away from Leaf games....

Yet here I am. Hello regulars!

Though that would be true for the other 31 teams, no? Few teams can shrug off missing the 1C without it impacting them even a little bit

Crosby has missed 12 games and Malkin missed 36 games this year and Pens have more points then our Leafs.

Kucherov has missed 35 games this year and Brayden Point 14 games and TB is ahead of the Leafs in the standings.

With Leafs defense and goaltending struggling and now missing Matthews this will be interesting to see how the Leafs perform, because on paper without AM it sure looks vastly different.

The next time I start to venture back toward the main boards again can someone please slap me and talk some sense into me. What an absolute cesspool of trolls and asshats
