GDT: Start of the November hot streak part 3 - Tampa visits Toronto

[Man Bear Pig]

Would be 7-5 Tampa if Samsonov was still in

I'm a goalie apologist, but it's tough to defend Samsonov at this point. Woll is very clearly the better goalie. It's not even close, really.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Give me Lagesson over Klingberg. He's been awesome.

Great signing.

No way team would have rallied. Some of the goals he gave up were just absolute back breakers

 

[Akrapovince]

Knies is such a smart player, I love the mix of skillset and motor.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

This Kuch line is really something. They killing us.

 

[Nineteen67]

Tampa must be getting sick of blowing leads to the Leafs

 

[ULF_55]

All from an unnecessary icing.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Woll’s save percentage when replacing Samsonov must be .975+

Hopefully 2 for 2

 

[TMLAM34]

Said it before but Lagesson has been pretty damn good since the call up. Ideally, not in your top 4 obviously, but I think he's earning himself a spot on this team.

He’s been better than Giordano IMO.

 

[Cleetus]

Knies is such a smart player, I love the mix of skillset and motor.

hopefully he continues this on Wednesday!

 

[cyris]

Marner and Matthews have combined for 7 goals and 15 points in the last 2 games.
We lost the first one and have only a a slim lead in this one.

Expect Keefe to play Samsonov game 1 vs Tampa this year

 

[DarkKnight]

Marner now 5th in league scoring.

 

[GoonieFace]

That’s a low bar. Gio and Brodie need a trip to the glue factory

 

[Stephen]

Did they bench Klingberg too or am I just not seeing him?

Too many people think of Tampa as the team they used to be. They are barely a wild card team at this point. It's the natural progression of a dynasty. What goes up, must come down. They are a really average team at this stage.

This is a matchup of two really flawed teams each taking turns tripping up.

 

[93gilmour93]

Marner now 5th in league scoring.

What a bum

 

[keonsbitterness]

Knies looked so smooth taking that pass and shooting.

hmmm too soon.

We barely squeeked by last year by a lucky goal by JT. And they were missing a player.

If anything we are just on the right side of luck this year.

They seem to know how to turn on the playoff gear better than us.
Lets see what happens by years end.

 

[cvaicunas]

Is Hutchinson still hanging around ?

Grand Rapids I believe

 

[LastOne2100]

Did they bench Klingberg too or am I just not seeing him?

I wish, but no.

 

[MSZ]

Robertson is now on the 2nd line.

 

[Stephen]

Nevermind there’s Klingberg.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

This is an odd line

 

[HockeyVirus]

Would be 7-5 Tampa if Samsonov was still in

By the end of the first period

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Shocker that the most useless player on the team hasn’t played in a while.
