GDT #27: 2023/12/14 - Laine Revenge Game

[zeke]

Another epic battle between the top-2 2016 picks.

A game against one of the dregs of the league is the biggest challenge for our leafs.

vs Bot-10 Teams: 9gms, 11pts, 100pt pace, -0.45gdiff/gm
vs Top-22 Teams: 17gms, 24pts, 116pt pace, +.65gdiff/gm

with the crowning achievements being losing twice to the worst team in the league (CHI), while also getting rooked by the dregs of the atlantic in BUF and OTT.

And we get this tough matchup against the Jackets three times in our next 7gms. Might be our toughest stretch of the season. Will they step up to the challenge?

Looks like the team is still sick so we won't really know the lines. They were running these in practice this morning:

Yeah sounds like the lineup can be pretty fucked tonight. The Wuhan Flu has taken the Leafs down. Hilarious that they get sick in their fucking one busy point in the schedule.

Meh,they're better when faced with moderate adversity.

Not too much, mind you...but just a bit.

Just the right amount of adversity turns this gang into monsters.

Not enough adversity and they go to sleep, too much adversity and they crumble like bitches. But just the right amount....world beaters.

 

[Slinger 48]

They'll probably run out of gunpowder.

 

[GeneralT001]

I'm getting used to games every alternate night!! With Sammy in net they are gonna need 5 goals to win!

Who’s hurt?

 

[SundinsTooth]

Omg that was so pathetic.

 

[GeneralT001]

Oh no...what a talent to lose!!

 

[mbow30]

Don’t understand why they decided babs system was the right system. Stretch passes, low creativity etc

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Just tuned in. Is this a highlight reel of Game 5 or is this current?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Oh no! It would be horrible if he has to go on ltir!

Who? Reaves? Kampf?

 

[SundinsTooth]

Third line getting killed.
