GDT: Tampa @ Toronto - 7:30pm - Amazon

Love the way Wendel refers to the Leafs as "we", "us and "our".

 

[Antropovsky]

Knies is like a less polished Matthews. Maybe he's picking up moves from playing with him. He's very similar in how he doesn't quit moving his legs and keeps driving lanes. Matthews is incredible at making plays and pivoting straight into a sprint into an opening lane. Knies has been doing that very well this year too.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Yes, it is.

 

[Antropovsky]

Knies with three nice quick moves in that sequence, two to keep the play going and the last one for the goal.

Matthews and Knies were like Lindros and Leclair on that play. Two big powerforwards pushing the puck forward.

Gilmour and wendell we’re probably not as talented as Matthews and Marner, but way more competitive.
They were warriors.

 

[Obo]

Knies is slowly turning into John LeClair lite, which is a pretty great hockey player.

Knies needs a slightly longer stick and he’s good.

Doug and Wendel were before my time, but I still remember the Leafs trading for a 39 year old Gilmour in 2003 and how that ended in his first game. Was still sad to see him crawl off the ice after his knee injury in that first game after the trade (it was in Calgary, I believe). So unfortunate.

He would have had such an ovation at home.
So disappointing.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Yes, it is.

I hope you're right and have sage mode activated. If we blow this after last Saturday, we'll be the laughing stock of the league to the delight of every Habs fan.

 

[Budz]

The 4 guys in Tampa tram game thread seem shook. They admitted Knies is their daddy.

 

[yubbers]

Are you still frightened?

The shutout is gone

Damage has been done

Wendel was incredibly skilled. If he didn't spend that much time fighting for his teammates he could have been a yearly 40-50 goal scorer.

I had to walk away from the TV when I saw Dougie crawling on the ice before I needed to get a new tv

 

[Antropovsky]

Good game so far. Looks like Willy is on a heater again, Matthews has been great since returning as well.

I think Nylander prefers to be the only elite player on his line. He likes to have the puck.

Top 5 wrist shots all time.

Lethal wrist shot.

Pretty nice that Willie lets his roommate take part in these videos

Tampa's stars tend to pack it in when things are not going their way. The third period will likely be very boring, with an empty net goal with 3 or 4 minutes to play in the game. For me, this two points puts Florida out of reach given the gap between the two teams and their respective schedules the rest of the season.

 

[93gilmour93]

He literally influenced my game playing hockey watching his release off that wrist shot. I still to this day go wrist shot over slap shot and it still works

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Alright whoever called the Tampa PP...yeap you called it

 

[Aashir]

That’s a penalty firstly, but yea I knew this was gonna happen

 

[BayStBullies]

So penalties are now being called, that's convenient!

 

[Cleetus]

yep early PP for the bolts, of course

 

[Burnie97]

No way... shocked.....
