GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs at Ottawa Senators - 7PM - SN/CBC/TVAS - The Mindset, Dedication and Commitment Edition ™

[aragorn]

Pinto & Greig have arrived, can't wait for Kleven & Ostapchuk.

 

[Ouroboros]

Rielly should be sitting for 21 games. That's the precedent the league set when Dale Hunter did something similar to Pierre Turgeon.

 

[Cosmix]

A few random notes :

- Life is hard without the Jake
- The Stu needs to stop being in his own head.
- Gotta mix up the first 2 lines
- Poor Brannstrom man, the difference between his metrics with and without Hamonic is hilarious
- Awesome game by Kastelic, that's what you want by 4th liners
- Kelly is so much better under Martin, he looks like a NHL player now
- I still can't watch Hamonic and Kubalik
- wtf, am I better at puck handling than Korpisalo? If it was based on just one game, maybe lol
- Chabot was a boss, people really need to stop with dumping him. One of the very few who calms things down in the DZ and gets it out with control
- Hamonic makes the wrong play every. single. time.
- Best game by Tarasenko in Ottawa, he was playing hard both ways. Does he want an extension or he wants to be traded? 2 years x 6.0 AAV, would you do it?



Greig - Pinto - Tarasenko was elite seriously

Tkachuk - Stutzle - Giroux
Joseph - Norris - Batherson
Greig - Pinto - Tarasenko

If we sign Chychrun to $8M AAV, we might not be able to afford $6M for Tarasenko. I think we could do 2 or 3 year term X $5M AAV.

I am still seeing our Fs standing around in our D zone watching when they should be closely checking a man. Coaching needs to correct that.

I agree Hamonic needs to go.

I am also still seeing soft play by our D in our D zone. Hopefully we can fix the bottom 2 D by getting some bigger tougher physical defencemen in the #5 and #6 slots next season. Hopefully Kleven can be one of them.

This is freak'n Awesome. A thing of beauty. The boys will love it.

Should preserve this somehow.

 

[DrEasy]

When you look at how leaf players celebrate after every goal and showboat...and they complain about an empty net goal...they don't have a leg to stand on

this league is getting ridiculous with this "unwritten rules" bullshit for things that mean nothing. You want to make a difference...push for tighter straps on helmets or full face shields or eliminating staged fights, not crying about whatever they hell they're crying about with Greig.

I mean, just watch Domi "Douche" Jr.'s celly after his goal; how can they complain then about what Greig did?

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

alfredsson would have done that slapper against the leafs. bet he was proud.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Not sure if they can do much when there are bunch of kids on the ice that lack serious self-awareness

Random question. But what did you think about Bautista's bat flip?

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Legit the 'highlight' of the season for me right there. Just shows how disappointing its been as a whole but I'm still LMFAO half an hour after the fact. Ridly now holds a special place in my heart.

LMAO

 

[WallyD]

I guaran-freaking-tee you we are going to be blessed with 24-36 hours of frenzied Leaf-loving TO media showing the Reilly crosscheck over and over claiming that the fact his stick 'touched' Grieg's shoulder (or jersey) proves there was no direct head shot, his stick just rode up. They'll also conveniently ignore the fact this action was not during play too. All it takes is for one Leafs sycophantic media moron to claim this and the rest will clamor aboard. Heck, I've already heard 4-5 not so subtle comments along the lines of "... it can't be too many games because Reilly is too important to the Leafs season...". Should be able to bet on it, the sentence - always take the under for a Leaf player!

 

[Melgene Eunyk]

alfredsson would have done that slapper against the leafs. bet he was proud.

That's what I was thinking

 

[Micklebot]

Bad take.

Yes he probably knew he'd get a reaction but I doubt he expected Rielly to smash his stick in his face because who the hell does that?

I don't think he should have expected a crosscheck to the head, but he looked completely surprised Reilly was coming at him at all,

Reilly will get games for this for sure, I don't think it was as bad as Perron, but we'll see.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

alfredsson would have done that slapper against the leafs. bet he was proud.

 

[Race Dawg]

I think they will miss the playoffs. Imagine where the Leafs would be without Auston Matthews 43 goals this year.....no where near the playoffs. They were so lucky to have won the lottery that year.

The Laffs missed their window of opportunity to actually do something 3 years ago. Now aside from Matthews and Nylander they're pretty thin up top and on D. They know we are at the point of overtaking them now so they are looking at missing the playoffs lmao

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Adrianopolous]

f*** those p***y leafs and especially that idiot Reaves

 

[Tragedy]

This team deserves better and more mature leadership or we are continue to be the joke of the league as voted by every other fanbase

Here Grandma, I think you may have clutched your pearls too hard and dropped one.

 

[Knave]

They're just mad. They lost the game and they know their players are mentally soft just like their fanbase. They're the Dallas Cowboys of the NHL. When it counts they don't show up.

 

[SensontheRush]

Boy, sure seems like we've won ALL the Stanley Cups we could this year against the Leafs.

 

[larek]

Exactly!

[dekem]

Look, if you have to score an empty netter against the Leafs, at least turn around and apologize before letting the puck’s momentum carry it over the goal line

 

[albator71]

We are not gonna lay down anymore, that slapshot was a statement that we are not going to be an easy pray anymore....WE ARE BACK BABY!!

 

[nORRis8]

Great win!!!
The best way to lick the wounds of a Bruins loss is to watch the leafs lose.
Nice Slapshot at the end to punctuate the win!!!
Classless act by Reilly the jackass.

 

[justavisitor]

Bottom line, Reilly should have challenged Greig into a fight if he was so mad about it, blindsided someone who was celebrating after a goal with a crosscheck right in the face was dirty and classless

 

[larek]

He never should shot that puck in the net should have gave it to a leaf to give them another chance!!! LoL
