How many dirty hits/plays from Tkachuk tonight ? Over/under at 5.5
|
Quote:
Is this him hitting guy WITH or WITHOUT the puck? Because that's a pretty dang low over/under... I'd put it near 9.5 lmao
|
Quote:
Without Muzzin out there the rest of the D better keep their heads up, luckily he and Mitch are buddies from their time in London and Matthews in his time with the US development program so they should be safe
|
Quote:
Based on Leafs injuries and to whom is missing, you have to think Calgary is going to up the physicality in this one.
|
Quote:
It really does suck that what grit and tenacity we do have is pretty much all missing. Simmonds, Muzzin, Hyman, and Thornton. That’s a good chunk of physicality just gone.
|
Quote:
Our 2nd pairing d, top line winger, 2 middle 6 wingers, and our backup. This is great lol
With Matthews/Marner healthy we have a good chance to win either way. Hopefully Dermott does great in this opportunity.

Quote:
5 stages of finding out Hutch is starting.
1. Denial: "No this guy must be lying. I need a source on Hutch starting"
2. Anger: "f***ing hell we are going to get destroyed. WTF why does Soupy need to be hurt! Why did we lose Dell! not fair!"
3. Bargaining: "Maybe if he only lets in 3 goals we can outscore our problems"
4. Depression: "I don't know if I can watch tonight. This is just awful hockey. I'm not having any fun".
5. Acceptance…
|
Quote:
Can't be missed that we're starting our 3rd goalie tonight against Calgary's #2. I've seen TSN mention it's battle of the "back-ups" a few times but that isn't entirely accurate.
|
Quote:
With any semblance of grit having been taken out of the lineup, you can expect the Flames to charge and board tonight. Might be ugly tonight.
|
Quote:
One of the best things about the intra-division play is the choosing of sides based on prioritized level of hatred.
##### Tkachuk...and it's just karmatic harmony that those words rhyme.
|
Quote:
Tkachuk is such a fragile bitch holy ####. Engvall feeds your #### back at you and you go for the big slash.. ####ing snowflake
|
Quote:
I do wish we had a Tkachuk on our team, I just love the way that family plays
|
Free Willy
Quote:
I can't believe that Keefe benched Nylander and then put him on a line with Barabanov, a usual healthy scratch who only plays 5-7 mins when he's in, the very next game lmao. The punishment just keeps coming.
|
Quote:
Tavares and Nylander, wow. There was a sequence in the first period where Willy missed a puck in the leafs corner, floated in the middle of the zone doing nothing including skating, ran into one of our players who was collapsing in, and let a shot through without so much as feigning a stick check. Just epitomized most of the ways I feel about him.
|
Quote:
Maybe an effort tonight Willy?
Ouch
|
Quote:
Tavares I really do love as a player but if we are trying to kickstart one of our stars offense it should be Nylander. Tavares as a 11M player should he driving the second line and producing.
Nylander should be part of the super line imo over JT
|
Quote:
Nylander should beat the #### out of Tkachuk.
Mr Congeniality might not chicken out against a dude with 0 fights
Ny is a ####ing bulldog and can 100% chuck knuckles
It would get the media off his back for at least 3 days
Actual Calgarian knocking out calgary's misfit uncle?
It would make my night.
|
Quote:
Crazy how much worse the top line already looks, and how much better Nylander looks
|
Another Man Down
Quote:
Engvall : “wanna see a lazy forecheck?”
Vesey: “ Hold my beer”
|
Quote:
Injury parade simply doesn’t end
|
Quote:
If Marner is hurt IDK anymore. We're f***ed.
|
Quote:
f*** whoever hit marner there dirty hit
|
Quote:
These f-ing guys are butchers
|
Quote:
I’m f***ing sick of our injury bull####. No other Canadian team is having as many issues as us, I don’t understand it. Just pure stupid luck.
|
Quote:
can we forfeit before we lose someone important
|
Quote:
I think the goal of this game it to get through it with an L but no more injuries.
Calgary is too desperate and making ####ty dirty plays.
Not worth risking the season for this game that Hutch is going to piss away anyways.
|
Quote:
Imma say it rn: that was a dirty hit on Marner, tried sandwiching him into the flames player
|
Quote:
Marner no! You're ok you're ok you're ok :cry:

An Incredibly Sam Bennetty Goal by Sam Bennett
Quote:
Calgary putting Sam Bennett on the top line against us eh.
almost a showcase of sorts maybe
|
Quote:
is this supposed to be a documentary of sam bennett’s position preference?
|
Quote:
Dear lord what a weak goal
|
Quote:
well, not a good sign from Tavares
|
Quote:
Our top line isn't supposed to be completely hammered in their own zone.
|
Quote:
Yikes. This could be a rough one.
|
Quote:
My god, that was poor defending and goal tending
|
Quote:
JT tipped that but it barely changed direction.
|
Quote:
Great deflection by Tavares, he's the master of deflections
|
Chronicles of the All Star Backup
Quote:
Bennet hasn’t scored in forever. Scores. Tkachuk hasn’t scored in 10? Scores. Rittich hasn’t won in a year? Pitching a shutout.
Just leaf things.
|
Quote:
Have you noticed Calgary is on track to get a shutout? It looks like they might get a shutout. Shutout.
|
Quote:
Can Rittich let in a bad one or what?
|
Quote:
what is up with the ####ing whistle - Rittich touches the puck and the play gets blown meanwhile Hutch is getting hacked at and they just watch
|
Quote:
Rittich getting the shutout?
SHUTOUT, yeah SHUTOUT
there I said it
SHUTOUT
|
Quote:
I sure hope we don't get
S H U T O U T
|
Quote:
Riddich keeping Calgary in this
|
Quote:
This feels like one of those days just nothing going in.
|
Quote:
Oh for f***s sake no f***ing puck luck
|
Quote:
Ofc we get a backup goalie playing out of his mind
|
Quote:
Gonna be one of those make a bad backup look elite isn't it
|
Quote:
Rittich is moving aaaight. But he's definitely unbeatable like rocky.
|
Quote:
This is going to be one of those games isn’t it?
|
Quote:
Gonna be one of those games eh
|
Quote:
Pretty much if Rittich wasn’t standing on his head this game would be a lot different. That’s it. Calgary sucks
|
Quote:
Ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing a back up play like a vezina.
|
Quote:
Yeah Rittich has stoned us often the past couple games. Tonight looks no different.
Way to take a penalty Petan, moron.
|
Quote:
Have we ever scored a goal on Rittich? Dude is a ####ing brick wall against us every time
|
Quote:
This game feels like one in which David Rittich is playing at a high level, Hutch looks sketchy every time Calgary puts a puck on net.
Other than that, pretty evenly played. Toronto is certainly looking banged up, but still competitive.
|
Quote:
Chronicles of Rittich - why does every teams lower tier goalie put on a clinic and light us up
|
Quote:
David Rittich playing like generational goalie against Leafs again...
|
Quote:
I guess Rittich didn't like the beating his AHL team took.
|
When The Royal Pain Scores
Quote:
Damn this is so draining, f***ing rat tkachuk had to score
|
Quote:
Tkatchuk should have never been allowed to stand in front of the net uncontested like that, Holl messed up on that play.
|
Quote:
2 goals and 2 weak efforts from Holl. He's been good this year but the last few it seems like he's regressing.
|
Quote:
Every single
Fluttering shot scares the crap out of me now
|
Quote:
Ffs Mikheyev. 2-0 instead of 1-1.
Smells like a shutout tonight. Tavares is not working on the top line, Keefe needs to make a change.
|
Quote:
Everything Tavares touches turns to ####.
|
Quote:
Does Tkachuk ever actually use his mouthguard?
|
Hot Mic Hilarity
Quote:
Lol dermott “dude I didn’t f....ing do anything!”

Quote:
"Dude, I didn't ####ing do anything!"

“Dude I didn’t ####ing do anything” lmao
|
Quote:
Dude I diddnt ####in do anything!!!
|
Quote:
DUDE I DIDN'T ####ING DO ANYTHING THERE
|
Get Out!
Quote:
Lol at the Edmonton fans trolling this thread. Get a bloody hobby.
|
Powerless Special Teams
Quote:
Nylander is killing the power play
|
Quote:
0 for 3 on the power play is not acceptable for a game riddled with injuries like this.
|
Quote:
Why are they setting plays for Rielly on a 5 on 3?
|
Quote:
Why the f*** is Rielly getting all the shots?
|
Quote:
Where is the screen by Willy??
|
Quote:
we are T'ing up Morgan Rielly to shoot........ why?
|
Quote:
Id rather watch Matthews shoot into 7 people than what i just witnessed
|
Quote:
Swear to f*** Nylander has let the Flames clear the puck like 3 or four times based on his mistakes
|
Quote:
I liked it better when refs help the other team while we’re ahead. Why are they still doing this when we’re the ones behind?
|
Quote:
I can't belieb we didn't score on that 5v3.
|
Quote:
Gut feeling.....something wrong with Matthews today. They weren't even looking for him on the 5 on 3.
|
Quote:
That 5 on 3 was an abomination. Still can't get over Mr goal per game getting looked off by the Shinpad Sherriff.
|
Quote:
Guarantee we aren’t scoring today
|
Wakey Wakey
Quote:
Tavares gets smoked by Tkachuk hopefully that wakes him up. we have no one to push back lol
|
Quote:
Tavares has a death wish staring at his feet crossing the blue line , beautiful hit
|
Quote:
lmaoo tavares got rekt. marner peaked and skated away.
|
Quote:
JT rocking a solid 27% at the dot tonight. 11 million and can hardly win faceoffs
|
Quote:
Tkachuk is doing the Leafs a favor by knocking some sense into Tavares.
|
Quote:
I'd support Bogosian beating the living #### out of Tkachuk if they go down another goal.
|
Quote:
tkachuk i don’t have the energy for this today
|
Quote:
It’s so funny to see people go from AHHH MIKHEYEV BRUTAL HANDS to AHHH TAVARES SUCKS PUT MIKHEYEV ON THE FIRST LINE
hahaha
|
Quote:
I guess we will just let our captain rocked
|
Mony with the Moneyhands
Quote:
Yup that’s the end of that. Not our night
|
Quote:
Jesus we look so lost in our own end right now. Terrible.
|
Quote:
Hutch can’t control rebounds and that’s that. Too much going against us tonight and Calgary is desperate. Rittich continues his domination over us as well.
|
Quote:
Bruh if Hutch is our starting goalie for more than a week
|
Quote:
Hutch trying to makes exciting. He's The People's Goalie.
|
Quote:
He does it’s true, unfortunately he just isn’t good enough. To quote a famous jays player, this isn’t the try league
|
Quote:
Hutch is what cardiologists call a stressor.
|
Quote:
I haven't seen a game as frustrating as this in a while. These guys have no business winning this game.
|
Quote:
Hutch looks like he's scaring himself lol
|
Quote:
Say what you want about hutch but there were 2 leafs D that let calgary get 3-4 whacks at it.
|

Plan the Parade!
Quote:
Leafs fans think they are a power house in the Nhl, leading a weak north division,LoL!
Ottawa is a punching bag who you collect 2 points of atleast as long Chabot is injured!
When you drops a 5-1 lead against Ottawa, then you arent a good team,period!
Sux that Shames took 2 point tonight, but it was expected!
Leafs was blanked against their backup, they had 7 pp,LoL!
I actually thinking that we are the best team in the North!
After a shaky start of the season,we finally got some goaltending. Our D has been more steady recently, think they missed KlefB very much and it took a while to sort it out!
|
Quote:
Matthews decides to show mercy on the Flames. Now leading candidate for the Lady Byng."
|
Quote:
Knocked him right into his Leaf PJ's.
|
Quote:
Matthews sure looked complete this game, a complete pile of ####.
|
Quote:
Tavares looks completely shell shocked in his interviews, trying to look in 10 directions at once
