GDT: TSN turning point. Flyers @ Leafs 7PM on SN

[Ianturnedbull]

keefe did not have these guys ready for the period.

 

[notbias]

Marner was getting hooked so much there to cause that 2 on 1... brutal no call

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Samsonov is the most talented leaf goalie in years

 

[Burnie97]

Yeah I concur pretty much. Although if you look into the stats and how they are derived, a lot of it is absolute nonsense. I remember a couple of years ago people were absolutely adamant that CloseFenwick (or some such bullshit) did X, and then someone with some weight in the fancy stats community proved it doesn't do X, but maybe it does Y - and then suddenly everyone was absolutely adamant about that. I mean if you don't even know what your own stats do - perhaps they don't actually do anything...

I remember there was a defenseman for the Islanders years ago - Andy MacDonald - he had decent fancies, blocked a lot of shots, etc... the team seemed to love him, but they were constantly pinned in their own end when he was on the ice, solely because of his gap control - he just gave you the blueline and then spent the whole shift defending and racking up fancies lol. Perfect Dubas player that one.

There can never be a stat for gap control. There can never be a stat for so many fundamental facets of our game.

Fair enough. In all honesty ask a guy that knows a lot more about the "fancies" lol and then he can be more legit about it and prove it better than I can.

I'm just saying I'm in the middle somewhere.

 

[Mickey Marner]

That was lucky

 

[keonsbitterness]

Wow, now Matthews gets robbed.

 

[Tak7]

If it's not too early to freak out about the state of this team, then it's not too early to get excited about Samsonov. He's looked so steady, and he retains his RFA status at the end of the season

 

[Mickey Marner]

Great pad save

 

[Burnie97]

Gotta be lucky to be to good sometimes

 

[BrannigansLaw]

[Legion34]

Sheldon keefe is younger than me…..

He looks like he could be my dad.

Jesus coaching must take it out of you

 

[Canada4Gold]

He's completely fine but sure blow the play dead because we might score

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Wow Sandin's shooting is dangerous. It'd be cool if he could score though

 

[keonsbitterness]

New guy!

 

[Cleetus]

ZAR with a goal lol

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Wow ZAR with a goal? Colour me shocked.

 

[93gilmour93]

[Mickey Marner]
