GDT: The Edmonton Oilers visit your Toronto Maple Leafs for HNIC.

Have the puck all f***ing game. Of course they get the first penalty.

Button sometimes knows what he is talking about. Where he comes off bad is because he doesn't filter with any caution. "Matt Dumba is going to be the best player out of the 2012 draft" is a good example. He was knowledgeable enough to see the very top ranked guys had some real questions with their games. But then he just has to roll the dice and select his favorite. If your delivery is "prospect X is going to be this" you are committing your credibility to someone. He absolutely knows players change from age 17 to age 20 and there is huge uncertainty in their development but then he picks a horse way too often. Button is the drunk buddy you have sports talk with where he spews personal opinions as obvious fact. Once I understood that I appreciated his takes a lot more. I don't automatically follow his opinions as reliable but when he says a guy is a stud or a slug I will listen and then try to verify what he says. His delivery undermines his reliability some times.

you've summed that up perfectly

 

[The Beyonder]

Poor shooting. Deflections are bad breaks

It's probably both.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Kerfoot is a terrible PKer

 

[klmdg]

Honestly, all the oil do is clutch and grab, but that's a penalty

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Second good pokecheck Muzzin has had on McDavid tonight

 

[stealth1]

That was a garbage call. McDavid held the stick between his arm and body.

Maybe keep your stick on the ice.

 

[Dave92]

Oddman rush shouldn't even be considered a scoring chance with this "elite" offense.

 

[egd27]

That's twice per game with Andersen. Campbell is allowed one on occasion

Of course he is

 

[The Kessel Run]

Nice PK. Good tending.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Good PK

 

[Teeder Keon]

Soupy so warm in your tummy

 

[Man Bear Pig]

I'm personally shocked that Edmonton gets the first pp.

According to their fans, they only call penalties on Edmonton.

 

[Northernguy10]

That wasn't a good goal let in from Campbell, but something tells me that this fan base won't accept another goal scored for the rest of season without complaining about how soft it is lol.

You got it !

 

[cookie]

Solid Campbell save - no rebound

 

[IronHalen]

Just explaining what happened, I didn't make the decisions

Oh I know haha
I just don't understand why refs put themselves in the position to look stupid more than they need to.

 

[HockeyVirus]

A terrible period by us. We are going to get scored on.

 

[fahad203]

Matthew's line hemmed in by Kassian ?

 

[MSZ]

This has been a very bad period.

 

[2 Slick]

Leafs playing like garbage

 

[The Kessel Run]

There is no reason to keep dressing Thornton at this point, other than out of respect.

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Thornton is just not good anymore

 

[saffronleaf]

horrible shift for 34-16.

[JayfromNB1219]

That was a pretty weak icing call...see too many of them across all games against all teams...if a D man could get to it going full speed it should be waived
