GDT: Tampa @ Toronto - 7pm

[Wendelstache]

this Sandin/Liljegren dual look to be our best D pair.
Early, but there's promise.

Holl probably plays next game.

 

[theTTC]

Such a frustrating team to watch. Tampa has just choked this game off and our guys have nothing. Exact kind of game our top talent have shown they can't break through in time after time. Boring as all hell too lol.

This woke non-contact Gary Bettman-USA-corporate-videogame isn't doing it for you either, eh?

 

[The Apologist]

This doesn’t even make sense… apart from the holl part

The Holl part was the important part anyway....

 

[Sypher04]

So it’s fine to bench nylander
It’s fine to bench Marner
It’s fine to bench Tavares
But moving Matthews down the lineup is illegal now.
Even mcdavids been benched in the past

Never said that. Hell, If you could bench the whole top 4 forwards and still ice a lineup I’d say bench them all, but picking one out of the group, and not even the one imo who is competing the least seems ridiculous to me personally

 

[dubplatepressure]

Love the Sandin moves tonight. Kid is looking gooood.

 

[Morgs]

You can see the "rookie" feel from both Sandin and Lil when they still hesitate on shots and pass. Please no more Kaberle defensemen though....*for shooting* before people jump me.

Neither one hesitate to shoot, don't you worry. The more comfortable they get the more likely they become their AHL selves.

Stamkos got away from the board too easily there Matthews
That can't be that easy for him

 

[m1ker]

Here we go with stacking again. Games done

 

[hamzarocks]

Matthews has been noticeable in the 3rd so far.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Stupid goalie. Stupid Flanders.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

They’ve got that “ready to go home” body language going on right now. Especially Matthews.

 

[Canadian Finn]

Come on JT, do it!

 

[LastOne2100]

I hate NHL refs

 

[fahad203]

Why not just move up Spezza with JT?

 

[The Kessel Run]

Missed hook.

No need to go overboard there bud.

But he is, nylander Tavares and Marner are all competing better than him and trying to get things going. Matthews is just skating and going to the outside

 

[Morgs]

How was that not a hook lmao

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Brodie has had a good game tonight IMo.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Why not just move up Spezza with JT?

Why Spezza when Ritchie?

 

[TMLeafer]

Hooking?? Their waiver pickup has gotten the friendly call 3 times tonight.

You know we're getting the next one though.

 

[Leafs Captain]

This feels like playoffs game.

 

[123offtheglass]

Willie put some mustard on that, good chance

 

[The Apologist]

I have this odd feeling that Matthews is gonna net one just because Matthews. Just a hunch that it's coming. It's like his MO.

 

[fahad203]

Why Spezza when Ritchie?

True. I mean I am not a NHL coach. What can I possibly know

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Matthews has been noticeable in the 3rd so far.

That's why he gets paid the big bucks

 

[BrannigansLaw]

How was that not a hook lmao

Refs thought it was a bigger advantage for us not to call that.
