GDT: Vegas at YOUR Toronto Maple Leafs, Tuesday, Feb 26th, 7pm

[rojac]

Then there's guys who get rattled by watching pro athletes. Wow a guy hit another guy in the face, I want to cry about it on the internet.

My issue is that I don't even understand why Greig's slap shot n an empty net goal is a sign of disrespect. To me, Greig did something that looks foolish. Fans and players alike should be mocking him for the over-the-top move. The idea that the Leafs feel disrespected by the move just seems bizarre.

I was thinking the same thing. The Leafs bench should have given him the slow clap. A last place team shouldn't celebrate like that unless it's a Disney movie.

It was just the moment that all the past frustrations, the lack of never having an answer, or refusing to push back, boiled over.

Probably a couple years too late, but thank goodness it finally arrived.

Now just keep going with it

These are supposed to be men, why are they acting like children? I just laugh at all the things that rattle pro atheltes. Wow, a guy shot a slapshot into our empty net. I wanna break his face.

Yeah it’s one of those things you either get or don’t. Topic has certainly been beaten to death though.

He can condition himself in the shower...we don't need him, he sucks


Tavares couldn't hit the broadside of a barn door with a beach ball, give C to MO or Auston, pretty bad when your C is on the third line....

What line was the captain of the leafs last cup team on?

He broke the code. If you don't know the code, you'll never understand.

I think it came back up because Joe Bowen asked all the fans to give Rielly a standing ovation tonight.

Bowan rarely tweets out anything, and this went semi-viral and got everyone pumped

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I see we are back to Greg Slapper talk

 

[LeafSteel]

He broke the code. If you don't know the code, you'll never understand.

Kids playing Peewee House League know this.

You don’t show up the other team.

You either get it or you don’t, and if you are slow to it, you learn it real quick on the ice, and you never do it again.

If you are a disrespectful asshole and you want to show up another team, there are consequences.

Go Leafs Go!

Exactly.

 

[DarkKnight]

The fact Morgan Reilly of all people reacted like that, I think it’s actually bizarre people can’t get it. Made perfect sense to me as soon as he was winding up.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

 

[1specter]

Can't help but feel like we're gonna drop this one but hope I'm wrong obviously. Either way hope they keep playing hard and would like to see the crowd cheer on Rielly.

this is also why you don't overly celebrate when you score like the 10th goal

though unless you're doing a sittler and breaking a record, by all means. you might get a fist to the face but they'll forget it by next game.

 

[HellasLEAF]

I say we run them again 5 - 2 Leafs.

 

[stickty111]

Probably insurance incase of an injury in warmup

 

[The Masters]

lets go 8

 

[stickty111]

Before people over react to these D pairings, they will switch things up throughout the game.

Sure, but a lot of other people completely understand why it is a sign of disrespect.

 

[Racer88]

Matthews goes 7 goals ten points to tie the record for both and drive the main boards crazy.

Tavares gets the other 3 5v5 and drives this board crazy.

Maybe only 3 expected goals for Tavares

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Is Rielly playing the right side?

 

[Racer88]

Disagree. When someone disrespects you like that in Sports you have to have a response. What was Rielly supposed to do wait until next season to fight the kid? Greig got what he deserved.

I agree with you. This is hockey not figure skating. This team has been pushed around for way too long. It’s time for vengance……..swift and harsh

 

[Leaf Rocket]

God damn I love Morgan Rielly.

Won't even take the credit.

Because Bowan gets it
