GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Winnipeg Jets 7:00pm on CBC Sat, Oct, 22nd

[Al14]

I just hear all the time that having a tough physical presence will prevent these things from happening. It's almost like... it doesn't.

Nope! Gretzky had a goon playing on his line much of his career!

 

[On-the-Fly]

No penalty on marner surprised

Is what it is. Suprised by no call? Sure. Par for the course. 1/1? OK. We'll get a make up call.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

#24 is Skilliter

Oh for f***s sake of course.

 

[klmdg]

I wonder if Skilliter at least buys the Leafs dinner before games

 

[killer1980]

They will be the targets all year regardless. He is one of their best players.

The difference this year is the opponents see and smell the desperation. AM won't care this year. Next year he'll be playing for that fat U.S. contract. He just wants to stay healthy.

 

[LaPlante94]

I'm surprised Marner was boarded even though Clifford and Simmonds are playing. It's almost like the idea of a physical deterrent on the 4th line is meaningless

They gotta keep people like you on these HF boards happy. Don't want to throw many punches or hit too many people. Then again, we could always put guys like Malgin, Petan, Rodrigues, and many other so called skilled guys on the 4th line to provide absolutely nothing either except G/60 number that means nothing when they score like 2 goals and then still don't really do much when put on other lines.

What in the actual........

Lololololol
Look at her jacket lol
I must be 2 high

Speaking of 2 high
Great Stevie Wonder tune

I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't touched the sky
I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't touched the sky
She's a girl in a dream
She sees a four-eyed cartoon monster on the TV screen
She takes another puff and says, "It's a crazy scene"
That red is green
And she's a tangerine
I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't left the ground
I'm too high
I'm too high
I hope I never ever come down
She's the girl in her life
But her world's a superficial paradise
She had a chance to make it big more than once or twice
But no dice
She wasn't very nice
Ow
I'm too high
I'm too high
I can't ever touch the sky
I'm too high
I'm so high
I feel like I'm about to die
She's a girl of the past
I guess that I got to her at last
A did you hear the news about the girl today?
She passed away
What did her friend say?
They said she's too high
Too high
Can't hang around anyway

refs don't protect players. teammates do.

refs call penalties, that's it.

this fallacy that refs need to protect our stars is pathetic.

Yep. They had 8 PP last game.

 

[3headeddragon]

Clifford better talk to Demelo for that

f*** that. The deterrent is to go after their best players.

 

[Doublerum1975]

Yeah I'm sure we will lol

 

[Canadian Finn]

Yep. They had 8 PP last game.

this fanbase is as big of whiners as our team.

 

[justashadowof]

So pretty much the entire Winnipeg d is going to have its way with our stars?

 

[Burnie97]

The difference this year is the opponents see and smell the desperation. AM won't care this year. Next year he'll be playing for that fat U.S. contract. He just wants to stay healthy.

Maybe you're right... but I think Leafs will do everything they can to keep him. He's getting paid more here then anywhere else when he gets that next contract. Plus the extras he does with media etc. He goes back home in the off season anyway.

Either way back to the game but I don't see it.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Both are supposed to. Why do you think the league has no obligation to protect players?

 

[All Mod Cons]

I wish Keefe or Dubas or Shanahan could at least say something about the officiating rather than letting the team continuously get f***ed over. Skilliter has some weird grudge against the Leafs and has no interest in protecting our players, and the organization doesn't have their back

They might have in the offeaeason. Ive never seen us get so many PPs.

 

[Canadian Finn]

Both are supposed to. Why do you think the league has no obligation to protect players?

the league does through suspensions.

the refs call penalties. they don't protect anyone.

this reminds of young children running to their parents crying, instead of fighting back.

bunch of p***yes society is making today.

 

[Azail]

If they weren't playing Marner or AM hard before, then that's on them. MM and AM will get played hard their whole career, as they should.

 

[justashadowof]

All Clifford did was lift a stick and the Winnipeg player "fell".

 

[horner]

McDavid next time hit Gretzky in the head dumb commercial

 

[therealkoho]

Nope! Gretzky had a goon playing on his line much of his career!

And man oh man could Cement head ever rumble

 

[Mickey Marner]

Nice poke check

Yeah true things were so much better when people could get severe brain damage and nobody cared like in your day

 

[Canadian Finn]

you don't want to have the chance of brain damage, get a f***ing desk job!

you play a professional sport, you take those chances. That's part of sports.

God damned babies in this world these days.

 

[therealkoho]

f*** that. The deterrent is to go after their best players.

It would be a shame for Dubois to need some dental work
