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

Good pace so far, defense is doing a good both on the offensive blue line and at recovering the puck in our own zone. I really like these lines for the most part, Kerfoot on the "fourth" line I think is an absolute boon. If Matthews and Marner could get back to the impact they had at the beginning of the season I would be tempted to bring out the J word.

 

[MattySnipes]

Give the excuses a rest Simpson. Holy.

 

[zeke]

This is a horrible baseball analogy.

What Canadian hockey fans need in order to understand hockey is a shitty baseball analogy.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

The next time Craig Simpson offers valuable insight, I'm going to assume he's been kidnapped and replaced with a clone

 

[HockeyVirus]

OOf I don't like that hit on Kerfoot.

HNIC: McDavid

 

[garce]

I don't get it Simpson

Simpson don’t get it, never has, empty suit with dimples

 

[egd27]

Glass being fixed.....maybe a good time to get a commercial or two out of the way?

 

[TMLeafer]

Looked like 2 penalties but OK

 

[hamzarocks]

Someone cross check Draisailt that guy likes to be a tough guy vs the leafs

That was just weird.

Draisaitl is low key dirty with those lower back cross checks. One the most hateable players out there.

Not gonna lie, this game scares me bit as it's McDavid's 1st game here on a Saturday night. I think we can count on him playing his heart out, wouldn't be shocked at all to see him have a huge night. Everyone better be ready for this one (especially Campbell), not much else to say.

If I was the Oilers, I would be very worried that the Leafs have won 2 straight while Marner and Matthews are coming in on a slump.

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

How is that not a penalty on Draisaitl

 

[Macallan18]

This is a horrible baseball analogy.

Hilarious they know even less about baseball than hockey

 

[TheDoldrums]

what the hell is Simpson talking about, none of these baseball references make any sense

 

[Cor]

This is a horrible baseball analogy.

Yeah, I don’t even know what to say anymore.

Hockey broadcasting really isn’t as hard as Sportsnet makes it out to be.


We also don’t need “wow McDavid fast!” episode 1,326

 

[Alamo Leafer]

I'm so glad we landed Brodie. Gotte be one of the best moves of Dubas

 

[MattySnipes]

Love this song though

McDavid skates fast and you can only realize that's a good thing if you consider the fast ball

 

[DarkKnight]

Crowd into it tonight.

 

[Stephen]

OOf I don't like that hit on Kerfoot.

Draisaitl needs to be treated tit for tat.

 

[therealkoho]

Good call on that xcheck

 

[zeke]

The commenter managed to miss a sick cross crease pass by Hyman and a post by Tavares.

But we got a shitty baseball analogy at least.

 

[NK94]

How is that not a penalty on Draisaitl

Draisaitl is a star and it’s too early to call penalties.

Game management baby!

 

[MattySnipes]

Matthews easily outmuscled McDavid there
