GDT: Toronto @ Calgary - Tuesday 9pm

[Apex Predator]

Max Domi hatrick today?

 

[HogTown06]

10pm start in the Maritimes, hoping Leafs score 4 in the first so I can go to bed at a decent time.

They do work hard. I’ve found myself quite enjoying their games this season.
I sometimes wonder if people that are extra high on the Leafs actually watch many games not involving them.
It would explain a lot.

Anyway, like you say Calgary won’t be giving them easy points, they’ll need to earn a victory. Plus Wolf can get into some grooves where he is exceptionally difficult to beat.
Should be a good battle.

I'm not as low on them as some people are here after some losing skids etc, but I'm no fool knowing they have some major flaws to their game. One of them is not having the ability to ever outwork the opponent (might have to do with having all the skill in the world, but fail come playoff time).

Actually I think Toronto being only 6 points from being out of a playoff spot and a bad week away from being out of a playoff spot is a good thing for them. It's going to make them have to play harder to get those points. Or they fold like a cheap tent & that might not be the worst thing for the organization.

Too many times at game 65-70 they already know who they are playing and just kind of glide into the playoffs.

GAMEDAY: Maple Leafs seek to extend solid run in Calgary

The Maple Leafs have won eight of their past 10 games in Calgary, where they will play the Flames for the first time this season.

Hopefully this is wrong.

Nope it's exactly right

Thank dog! finally no Marner which which frees the team from his infernal assisting, now Matthews can just shoot it in the net. Thinking 4 goal night for the big boy now that the albatross is off his back, he no longer has to stand around waiting all night for Marner to finally pass it to him.

Utter meaningless unless you can normalize for all the other factors such as quality of opponents, other injuries, significance of other people out of the lineup, players playing through injury, and hot/cold streaks, just to name a few.

Winner winner chicken dinner

That's some rock hard rationalizing

excellent job

You have to WANT to outwork the opponent, the Leafs can, I know because I've seen it. The problem is they don't often WANT too! It's the fatal flaw.

I have Sens seasons tickets so I see a lot of that team, if the Bud's draw them in the 1st round it could get ugly in a hurry.

 

[Metroid]

This year in particular has been brutal for all this DTD , game time decision bullshit. Don't they know us degens have Fantasy Teams to run.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

I think Stolarz is in net.

Team better play tight for him. We need him brimming with confidence.

A Steady Woll, and confident Stolarz is the best 1-2 going into these playoffs.

 

[Confucius]

Not true when Marner is out.

20-17-5 without Marner
45-24-2 without Matthews
46-39-12 without Nylander

Well it appears percentage wise there isn’t much of a difference between William and Mitch, we do play better without Mathews though. lol, go figure

 

[therealkoho]

Well that sucks. Has there been any indication what's wrong? Pending trade?

Head coach says maintenance day but also said that it happened in Edmonton

So I'm speculating that it happened near the end if the game when he had contact into the boards and came off of them a little gingerly.

Wow...65 points...they may not make the playoffs...cannot score, need great goaltending to win, top goal guy is 30 goals behind what they need, best d man is not...Senators are better team today

 

[Rare Jewel]

I hope Marner gets in enough games prior to the playoffs so he’s not too rusty.

Yeah, that would be a real shame for Vegas.

 

[rielledup]

What do you guys have planned for the game tonight? Any treats? Anyone else excited about getting comfy on the couch with a nice snack and watching the late game?

I read some comments from the Edmonton game that he was terrified at the end, perhaps he’s still spooked and can’t find the courage to dress tonight?

Thinking of a mezcal cocktail, not sure which one exactly yet. That'll be my treat

I know you are joking but if this happens this place is going to be hilarious

I’ll have my popcorn ready just in case to see the stuff said around here.

Lol I got water and a stack of math quizzes to mark. They better not let us down tonight GLG!!

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Nylander hasn't missed 97 games in his career. Not sure where that number came from. Even if you include the holdout year it is nowhere close to that many games

put pompoms down and scroll down in the thread

So won't be as relaxing I guess ha. What grade do you teach?

Nice, you'll be nice and relaxed for bed after I assume?

Depends on my wife.

 

[SprDaVE]

Marner officially out, day to day

Where should I be looking as a guy who isn't hanging onto every post in this thread? That number doesn't seem right to me either

Found it. My thought is to exclude his rookie year and the 22 games player
- They were tanking
- He was healthy after the late Feb call up

 

[leafsfan5]

Need a good domi game here, if he can show he can be on L1 it might get Berube to spread the talent around a bit
