Pre-Game Talk: Toronto @ Pittsburgh - 7pm HNIC

[thewave]

The holding penalty as we know it today, has been reserved strictly for the Leafs only.

That was 2mins for touching.

 

[Aus34Matt]

Matthews is simply awful this year. What a waste of 13 million for a guy who doesn’t look like he gives a shit

No frickin' grit whatsoever .. so afraid to mix things up or make contact

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Alex & William Nylander share a brotherly moment

How can this team look so good for a stretch of games, and now look like one of the wost teams in the league in back to back nights? That is some serious level of inconsistency.

I don't like the lack of offence that we see night in night out. I don't know how you ultimately win with that.

What a weekend. Losing to the Caps AND Pens. Gross.

They've "looked like shit" since they passed Florida in the standings. By an amazing coincidence, that's also when the refs stopped calling standard regular season penalties on the other teams...

Matthews game looks replacement level right now. I've never seen someone with so much talent struggle game to game with consistent efforts.

You don't know who Peter Nedved or Alex Kovalev are do you?
They could have been super stars if they had given 10% more dam**

 

[BraveCanadian]

4.5 PPs for the Pens, 1.5 for the Leafs.

Standard I guess.

Might want them to stop taking obvious holding and roughing penalties then

 

[Craig Button]

That was clean

 

[Cleetus]

Leafs tonight!

 

[DarkKnight]

He's so weak he fell down isn't a penalty.

 

[mcleex]

Wes McCauley always trying to be the center of attention

 

[Lightsol]

Might want them to stop taking obvious holding and roughing penalties then

Funny how that hasn't stopped any of their opponents for the past two weeks...

 

[thewave]

That was clean

Shocked he didn't get 5 and a game for illegal hit to the head.

 

[Cleetus]

He's so weak he fell down isn't a penalty.

its what happens when you are made of "Glass" k I will see myself out

 

[Blanka]

Why are we struggling to win most puck battles?

 

[yubbers]

Don't lose this game boys

 

[ACC1224]

Leafs should get one more PP

Craig Simpson cheers for Pittsburgh and Edmonton.

 

[Leafsfan74]

How many suckers opened a sports betting account and took them up on their pre-game parlay suggestion?

What a racket lol

 

[Bellefour20]

Leafs should get one more PP

Lol

 

[Stephen]

No frickin' grit whatsoever .. so afraid to mix things up or make contact

Matthews is having what I’d call the Jason Allison tonight. 2 assists, not even skating.

 

[wingman75]

We don't look dangerous at all... like not even a little bit.

 

[Lightsol]

Leafs should get one more PP

More than likely they'll give Pitts another one.

 

[fahad203]

Why are we struggling to win most puck battles?

Our pretty boys don't want to battle along the boards
We want to cirlce around

 

[Maplebeasts]

This team getting outplayed by Pittsburgh is unacceptable on every level.
