GDT: The Annoyed Edition | HNIC - Leafs Vs Oilers | 7 p.m. EST

[Leafsfan74]

something tells me McDavid was motivated by Matthews well deserved award wins last year. He's shifted to anothern level somehow. Have to respect his hunger and his skill.

 

[93gilmour93]

Shut up Cabbie

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

McCabe-Brodie and Gio-Holl pairings not changing... so Liljegren is roating with Gus... ugh.

 

[HockeyVirus]

So nice to watch an Acciari win board battles instead of watching big Engvall get owned everywhere.

When he loses a foot race he finishes his check. I think there are some confused faces on the Leafs bench watching that

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

If you can catch him

It's like duck hunting you have to lead him not chase him.

 

[fahad203]

Even with new players, I am not seeing any difference in physical play
Acciari is the only player looks to be engaged

 

[Macallan18]

So nice to watch an Acciari win board battles instead of watching big Engvall get owned everywhere.

I bet if he plays 17 playoff games he will get at least one goal

 

[Azail]

If you can catch him

I love how viewers say "Just hit him" lol. You don't think everyone in the league would like to hit him if they could.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Why does Keefe hate Liljegren? He should be a on a stable pair lol. Is Keefe trying to determine which one of Holl or Lilly to scratch?

Love these types of players. Leafs answer to Corey Perry with his net presence too.

 

[Apex Predator]

So they’ve kept the other two pairing the same and keep switching up Lily and Holl with Gio. Is Keefe looking at

McCabe Brodie
Rielly Schenn
Gio Lilly/Holl as his playoff pairings?

 

[Maplebeasts]

Why does Keefe hate Liljegren?

Better question is why does he love Holl?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Rielly-Liljegren thank f***

 

[Leafs87]

I dunno wtf all this talk about the Leafs getting tougher at the deadline was all about. This team plays soft as shit. Take away Schenn there’s no one on that team that strikes the slightest fear of playing against for the opponents

 

[DarkKnight]

Really liked Matthews there.

 

[fahad203]

All the Oilers do is wait for other team to attack and wait for a bounce for McDavid counter with his speed

 

[HockeyVirus]

I know it will never happen but IMO our best D is

McCabe - Brodie
Rielly - Liljegren
Gio - Schenn
Holl
Gus

Gio and Schenn a gritty vet bottom pair and the rest balanced. Holl is good insurance due to injuries probably the best 7th D in the league.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Makes you think.

I don't think for a second Keefe is going to be bold enough to pick a rookie goalie over Murray. But I think there's a very high chance Woll is a better goalie today. If you can't make a save on a wraparound or a slapshot from above the circles, you can't play goalie in the NHL on a team that wants to win

 

[PromisedLand]

Rielly-Liljegren thank f***

and tavares ruins it by making a no look nothing pass right out of the offensive zone

 

[Apotheosis]

He's the best player in the league by a mile

 

[TMLeafer]

at least the 2nd uncalled slash by McDavid

 

[CelticDruid]

Two oilers on Matty and Marner at all times.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Better question is why does he love Holl?

Porque no los dos?

 

[93gilmour93]

No points to show for it yet but Matthews was the best player on the ice in the first period

 

[DarkKnight]

Good period, except for the sieve.
