That actually sounded like a happy Sutter. He was almost bubbly. I also enjoyed the end of the last game scrum, when he spoke for like 30 seconds saying you gotta be ready for the second game after a break, then named both Vegas and the Oilers losing the second game after a big break as the warning.

I seem to remember getting goalie’d by Vladar earlier this year? Regardless, should be a W. Hope they don’t get caught coming off a very emotional game against the Canes.

Markstrom looking to go back to back games, historically speaking, that's usually not the best thing for the goalie.
Hope it follows suit.

Leafs have to send a message early let Markstrom get comfortable and he won’t let anything in.
Quote:
We need Campbell at his absolute best tonight because it's unlikely Markstrom is letting in 4 or 5, maybe he does because he did play last night may he's tired but it seems unlikely.
Those struggles that Campbell has had since Colorado? they need to end tonight.
Quote:
Was hoping we'd avoid Markstrom. My 5 gf in the prediction thread seems rather bold now.
Quote:
Markstrom is a ****ing wall out there.

Man playing the Flames reminds me of how Big Save Dave just dicked our #### for years, then we traded for him and he couldn’t stop a ####in ball rolling uphill

How in the actual #### is Brodie in the box???

lemme guess no call on brodie getting manhandled to the ground and a glove mushing his face into the ice?
So Much Man
Quote:
another too many men.... come on!
Quote:
Our bench management is just awful. So many Too Many Men penalties.

We will always love that penalty.

We undoubtedly lead the league in too many men penalties.
Wtf??
Are they stupid when making changes?
Button it Up
Quote:
Craig Button is a ####ing idiot. Guy's sucking the whole Flames team off between periods for sure.
Quote:
Our ####ing “home broadcast” is dumb as ####, we got Craig ####ing Button blabbering on the whole period with his nonsense.

He’s yelling because he hit him in the head you Whoville looking ####

You don’t realize how much you like Ray Ferraro until you have to listen to Craig Button’s stupid ass for a whole game

"We'll take you back to Gord Miller and Craig Button"
I'm gunna need you to take about 50% off there super chief
Quote:
Bad enough to watch them take runs, can't even have a Homer announcer to hype me up? So sick of this where is Joe bowen
Quote:
Does Button want to unzip Calgary's pants and take it all?
Honestly he sounds like he is in love with them.
Quote:
Going from Ray Ferraro to Button is like if you were trying to make a hamburger but ran out of ground beef and had to use crushed up broken glass laced with arsenic
Big Z Lays the Shoulder
Quote:
Zadorov is a wal mart Chara. Less talent, still dirty.
Quote:
Lol what the #### is this tsn broadcast.
“Just stepped into him”
Shoulder directly to the head.
“No doubt about that interference”
Hit him like a nanosecond after he let go of the puck.
Quote:
To be fair, It was a clean hit.
Zadarov is just a big guy.
Quote:
Not going to lie. I'm jealous of a lot of the Flames D-core. Big, physical, they join the rush and they get shots on net.
Quote:
He boomed him. He ####ing boomed him. That guy got boomed
Quote:
What a great hit by Zadorov. That was hard and clean.
Wrong night to have a soft lineup dressed. The Flames are always greasy.
First Goal Hubris
Quote:
So… really dislike CGY right now. TO is clearly in a league above them, though, which is why the Flames are greasing it. Buds will win this. 4-0 Leafs. Book it. Marner, Matty, JT, and Nylander will all score.
Quote:
Good thing Calgary blows. 8 mins of powerplay and nothing to show for it and we even have more shots on goal. LOL
Quote:
If there is one game I want to win dominantly it’s this one
and a puck flip 2.0 would be hilarious

Man the Leafs are outclassing the Flames and it’s not even close.

Marner could have gotten that

Holl not taking the man or attempting the block, great work

get Holl off the ice...
Jack too for that matter, dude has been mediocre.
Quote:
How do neither of Marner or Bunting take Mangiapane?
Quote:
ughh
come on nylander you must outperform mangiapane
Quote:
Two things I hate about this team:
1) the last minute goals against/first minute goals against; and
2) a goal within 1 minute after the Leafs score.
Ugh.
Quote:
Leafs need to get this next goal. Dominating the game and as soon as they finally score they give it right back. Get the next one and bury this team.
Quote:
A 24 second lead. Sigh.
Out work them, they are in back to backs and not the most fit team. These are wins every player and fan wants to savor.

Good job nylander
Quote:
Nylander that’s your man you lazy guy…..
a big save would’ve been nice as well
Quote:
What's with the Leafs d not playing defense? My goodness.
Quote:
I don't care about Campbell. He can have a cold streak. It happens. This defense is getting eaten alive and people complaining about our goalie. They've been struggling to get it out of the zone. The giveaways are atrocious and have been for a while.
Shilly off the One-T
Quote:
A bad read by the defense on that goal. You can't cheat like that on defensive faceoffs.
Now 3. FFS.
A playoff style game and we go from scoring first to down two.
Quote:
Ok NHL. Reward Truculence. This is what we all want. Not skill. Not great plays. 1990’s nj devils hockey.
Quote:
Just tuned in. Holy we're almost double the shots and are losing. Are we out playing them? Or is it just a bunch of shots?
Quote:
This is to be expected. The Leafs can’t handle hard physical teams…….oh and our goalie sucks
Quote:
Campbell needs to get his head out of his ass
Quote:
Not going anywhere with goaltending like this.
Quote:
This feels like our playoff losses. Outplay all game, give up a couple and get hit all over the ice.
Lindy from Johnny
Quote:
Game over. Campbell sucks
Quote:
Goaltending is the difference tonight.
Quote:
Gotta make a f***ing save.... awful goaltending
Quote:
Well, that'll do it. Campbell the worse goalie again.
Quote:
Nylander loses his man then penalty and hes been soft as hell.
Quote:
Can some one drive Campbell to the airport?
What a terrible stretch of games.
Quote:
So anyone here still thinks that we can win a series with Campbell?
This dude is fake
Quote:
3 goals on 3 shots is not cutting it.
Quote:
We dominated this game 30-15 then Campbell let’s in 3 of 5… I’m not sure goaltending can be blamed as hard as this one
it sucked the soul out of this team
Quote:
1st goal - beat short side right through him
2nd goal - gets a pass nylanders was lazy af
3rd goal - point shot.. unscreened…. Like Andersen
4th goal- short side again
Quote:
Our goaltending situation is becoming a real problem.
Quote:
How the f*** is Campbell in the net still put the better tender in net
Quote:
Holy duck we’ve just fallen apart, aaawwwful d and goaltending.
Quote:
Oh look Holl got walked again…
Quote:
Flames chasing us out of the building. Good for them. They're finishing with class tonight, despite fewer chances.
Quote:
They are scared bunch of wimps.

This went south real quick

Calgary fans are the type of people to be like “It’s 4-1, I’m really enjoying this hockey game.”
Quote:
LOL losing to these ####ters. Ohwell... GG Campbell and Holl should go on another break.
Quote:
Campbell has fallen down to earth and probably through some sink hole at this point.
Quote:
At least Dubas had the good sense not to sign Campbell to a massive contract.
Rasmus Schnipes
Quote:
Well we learned something about goalies tonight and our defence lessons are good. Lots of time left to fix things
Quote:
Ok, I am going there, Campbell is terrible.
Quote:
The Flames Blue line has been filthy in the offensive zone tonight.
Tip your cap! They've gotten some lazers on night. We don't have a single D-man that would dream of shooting. They have 3 or 4 of them.
Quote:
LOL we're awful tonight across the board. Just let him stroll right in guys.
Quote:
I feel like the chances Toronto gives up in tight checking games are always better than the opposing teams chances. Toronto is scrambling and firing at lanes full of players while they give up numerous odd man rushes with wide open lanes. They also seem to till struggle when the game gets physical. Sure we are 30-10 and you can't win them all, byt the way they lose looks familiar - just an observation.

wow gave up a goal right away in the 3rd eh

Backlunds entire game plan is to just follow Matthews around and commit minor infractions
I Smesh Your Boy, OK?
Quote:
Why the #### are the Calgary players so angry?
Quote:
Calgary has a lot of big boys in their lineup. It's a tough one to be missing Simmonds.
Quote:
I forgot that Lucic played for CGY. He’s such a menace lol
Quote:
God the Flames are just a bunch of ####ing goons lol
Quote:
Bad game for simmonds to be away
Quote:
#### right off Calgary players. And refs. Grabbing someone and punching them isn't roughing? Since when?
Quote:
So Markstrom punched Bunting in the head while he was down in the net. Is he gonna get suspended or what?
Quote:
This game is so ####ing tilting. I'm legit tilted after that hit on Nylander. I cannot believe a player literally charged and drilled him as hard is he could in the numbers without the puck and he only got 2 minutes, let alone is still in the ####ing game.
Quote:
What a night to have no one to throw hands in the line up.
Quote:
Leafs are just not built for this brand of hockey. Hopefully the beat them up on the scoreboard with skill but you don’t want to get pushed around either. I would say that’s an unfortunate result of a good hit with a big guy. Let’s see how they come out in the 2nd.
Quote:
The leafs lose against physical teams. We NEED to get tougher.
Quote:
If we’re going to lose I hope we at least show some balls in the third they just rolled over once Calgary started playing the body.
Quote:
The worst part about this game, this is exactly the kind of officiating that will happen in the playoffs.
Quote:
Forget beating Tampa Carolina or Florida. Leafs will Be hard pressed to beat Calgary in a 7 game series.
they are a heavy team.
and their goalie likes to make some saves too.
Quote:
The Flames wore them down with a very physical first period. The team actually played well in the 1st. Since Rielly stood up for Kase, where has he been? Where has Mattews and Marner been? Tavares and Nylander had a nice goal, but aren't touching dangerous ice right now. Goaltending completely dissolves (doesn't matter who is in net) and at least 1 pairing makes boneheaded plays (Gardiner, Holl, whoever).
I've seen this script too often. The team still needs to get tougher. That is their need and I hope Dubas realizes this. We need guys who can throw hits outside of our bottom line. Their best chance is to draw against a team who plays a skill game first like the Penguins or something because if they catch a team who can play us like this, we aren't up to it.
We might win a round or two but we can't win 7 games of this currently
Quote:
Ok now they are beating the crap out of us. We look soft this period.
Quote:
If anything this game is a lesson. Gotta expect teams are gonna goon it up in the playoffs and the Leafs can't expect any help from the refs. Hope Clif and Ritch can step their game up and make a difference.
Quote:
f*** Lucic is a plug, but checking him is like running head first into a fire hydrant. You want none of they Liljegren.
Quote:
I see one good team and one team that has been dominated

Well at least we can all be happy that we dont have to live in Edmonton

Flames making the oilers lick their boots
Quote:
Amazing what decent goaltending has done for the Flames Ken
Quote:
Yeah……he has been “decent” aka he will be a vezina finalist.
I know there is a faction of hockey fans who never blame goalies but you swap tandems and The Oilers are probably running away with the division and Sutter is looking at his spring seeding schedule….
Quote:
The Flames deserve it...They play hard, the play the system Sutter gives them, and they get good goaltending. Also interesting to see Tkachuck be more about hockey and less the antics.
Quote:
Allowing 50 sog and relying solely on goaltending doesn't seem all that sustainable. Whenever I watch the flames they're giving up 40 or so shots. I'm not reallys eeing all this great play.
Quote:
flames hadn’t allowed more then 40 shots in almost a month I think, and on average are near the bottom of the league. Plus they are top 10 in GF/GP. So even if they weren’t getting the goaltending they are, they are still scoring at a high rate.
I get the hate for the Flames, but kinda a weird take
Quote:
I wonder whats its like to be so delusional that you can sit here making stuff up in your head as to why a team who is literally better than us in every facet of the game is winning more games than us.
Quote:
Eric Francis eats stray hairs
Quote:
We're not allowed to compliment the Flames here, don't you know that?
But yeah, I can't really argue. I thought Sutter was the last desperation move of a failing franchise and he's made the entire team buy in.

Nice to see the dumbass delusional oil fan saying the Flames getting out shot all the time and winning isn't sustainable geting called out by other oiler fans for being stupid and uninformed. It's so ironic because that's what we were saying about their garbage team earlier in the year, and guess what? We were right.
Is it really that hard to find an NHL stats page prior to saying dumb #### you know nothing about?

Good game overall I thought. Flames play "playoff style hockey" which Leafs just can't handle. Though the hit on Kase was clean . It was just a suicide pass and Kase always putting himself in dangerous positions. Really hope it wasn't concussion because that likely means his career is over but it didn't look good.
