GDT: Tampa @ Leafs 7:30pm Oct 21st 2024

[All Mod Cons]

Dubasite?

Not enough circling back and going east west

 

[Jojalu]

it was his backhand clearence that got the puck out.
Nobody else touched the puck since

Yes..

When the two Tampa players ran into each other, I thought one had touched the puck but you are correct

 

[LeafalCrusader]

dude, reaves 99% of the time doesnt do anything. in concept its great, in practice much less so.

 

[IronHookem]

OEL has been surprisingly physical

Its Tampa, round 1 is probably still fresh in his memory, it was a very physical series...

 

[Petrus]

There's the Tampa team we know. The biggest group of sore losers in the league.

Except they’ve actually won.

 

[Fogelhund]

Don’t. Take. Your. Foot. Off. The. Gas. This. Time.

 

[frizzer1]

Marner gets no credit from some of you guys.
I guess all his assists just magically appear.

 

[McSnypsky]

lets see if they get yelled at like they did against LA

 

[93gilmour93]

Except they’ve actually won.

Sure but what I said is true

 

[Jojalu]

Sent Knies on the breakaway

Yes.

I thought I saw the TB player touch it in between, but he did not

 

[SprDaVE]

Somewhat given it is pretty obvious the difference in play compared to last year. Not just this game but others. The consistency game to game too.

I don't see the difference so I was curious what I was missing. PP is still a mess. Getting some great goaltending for sure. It's not like we're dominating every game. Recency bias maybe?

 

[Evilhomer]

Remind me again of how great Vasi is. He lived off Tampa's defense for a years, and now he's basically an average goalie with a near $10 million contract.

This is a pretty dominant Leafs team.

 

[fahad203]

OEL has some chip in his shoulder, I appreciate

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

OEL is a beast.

 

[Evilhomer]

To be fair, the Leafs have dominated most of these games so far. Hell, they dominated the two games they lost.

His assist on Matthews goal was on a shot that almost scored

 

[thewave]

The PP1 just doesn't look complete. Lacks chemistry

 

[fahad203]

It's a combination of both. Good D and good goaltending
He was infact really good and still is

 

[McSnypsky]

domi with a shot!!!

 

[Craig Button]

I'm convinced Sportsnet does something with the mics to make the crowd noise quieter. It comes through so much better tonight.

I said that in the opening game.

You couldn’t even hear the crowd sing O Canada. It was loud for a microsecond then dead silent.
Knew it was BS.

 

[fahad203]

domi with a shot!!!

I hope someone noted down the time and date

 

[thewave]

Rielly just needs to stop falling on Stolarz.

 

[Bellefour20]

Marner gets no credit from some of you guys.
I guess all his assists just magically appear.

He could score 200 pts this season and it wouldn't mean shit if he disappears in the playoffs yet again. When he starts showing up, people will love his regular season olay again.

 

[MSZ]

To be fair, the Leafs have dominated most of these games so far. Hell, they dominated the two games they lost.

Vasi WAS great in those playoff runs. But let's be honest, Tampa had some easy playoff matchups like NYI and Montreal in the final.

Leading all Leafs in TOI, even the dmen
