GDT: The Powerhouse @ Maple Leafs - 7 PM | MSG, NHL Network

That certainly holds true for Girardi, Pionk, and Lettieri.

Obviously not so much Dan Boyle.

Yea I was thinking Boyle was the exception for us

 

[Harbour Dog]

I'm trying to hope for a Toronto win, I really am.

But also, f*** the Leafs.

This is hard, Man.

 

[Nickmo82]

Lettieri with nice hustle on the play there to throw a hit on... Namestnikov.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

You know who's worked hard? Brendan Smith.

I have a motivational poster in my office at work that says "Work smart, not hard".

 

[Zibanejbread]

Man, I definitely got spoiled with the live threads. This refreshing pages stuff is bullpoop.

Edit: NM, I'm drunk.

Tyler Johnson tho

@Buchnevich89 is there some achievement you're going for to do with likes? you are f***ing prolific .

hey there was Chytil, call off the search

 

[Rempe73]

They get more immediate burn when they aren't fully formed NHL players on worse teams because the teams are worse in general.

Fair enough, but I remember the Penguins, Lightning, and Rangers (when they were still a pretty good team) signing a decent amount of undrafted players.

 

[Black Aces]

I get the sense that Toronto is a team that feels like they have accomplished something already.

 

[Lays]

And another great shift for Andersson. That was a prime opportunity in front of the net he cleared and a good block

This is America. Our posters say "work 50 hours and we pay you for 10. You're welcome."

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Who was JG watching with the NTDP last night?

I mean probably like 10 guys but wonder if he was there keying in on someone.

 

[effen]

good shift, bad icing. baby steps for Andersson

 

[Rempe73]

It’s just a thing that I have to do. Like an impulse.

He's been good since his latest call up. I don't care what anyone says

 

[will1066]

Playing with fire, running and gunning with them. All three forwards constantly below the hash marks and getting caught in transition.

 

[effen]

Leaf forwards are completely braindead in the defensive zone. Whoever said that is spot on. Dark Ages-era Rangers-esque.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

He's been good since his latest call up. I don't care what anyone says

Agreed, he's played well.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Bonehead penalty by Howden. If Chytil did that, he'd be benched

Hoping it was Turcotte

 

[Rempe73]

Good job by Names there

 

[Nickmo82]

Matthews. Jeez.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Like I've always said, out of Chytil/Lias/Howden, Howden is easily the worst player of the three right now and the worst prospect of the three right now, but he gets the most trust.

The first words out of anyone's mouth when describing Howden are "works hard."

Agreed 1000%. Howden had a good 3 weeks or so from end of camp into the first couple weeks in the season. Since then he’s looked at best like a kid struggling and at worst like a junior player in over his head.

 

[Machinehead]

I liked Pionk better when he didn't have the stick

 

[trilobyte]

Leafs player's head was going down when Howden hit him but Howden has to be smarter than that. Hope he knows it.
