GDT - Leafs @ Ducks | 10:00PM EST - Randy's return to the Duck Pond

[LeafGm]

do you remember when every line sundin and antropov ever played on did that almost every shift?

We were pretty spoiled for a lot of years.

43 year-old Mats Sundin would probably still dominate the boards out there.

How long's it been since we've heard the word "regression"?

When that slump, which we were told was really the Leafs coming back to earth, ended.

I feel like Leaf fans never fully appreciated Sundin til the end though.

Go Leafs Go chants in Cali? I love it.

 

[zeke]

shut up millen.

 

[Leafin']

Just as Anaheim gets a decent shot attempt. I wouldve lost it.

I ****ing love Gleason

I love Gleason

I knew you'd like him. He and Perry had a real hate on in the minors too. Perry is such a puke, but at least he has some real skills too.

7-goal third period for the Isles vs. the canucks.

Freaking lovely.

:joy

 

[hockeylover]

Clarkson and McClement out... interesting.

7-goal third period for the Isles vs. the canucks.

Heh. Well, Lack is clearly ready to shoulder the pressure of being the starter.

If this keeps up, I wonder if we'd be able to extract a healthy return from them for Reimer in the off-season?

 

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

The Islanders have scored 7 goals against the Canucks in one period. Wow!

 

[zeke]

yikes.

Definitely. Even right up until the end, you'd have people whining about Roberts or Domi deserving the captaincy, or about Sundin being "soft", or not having any "heart".

There are a lot of parallels between Sundin and Kessel & Phaneuf as well. Both those guys are in their 5th seasons with the team, they've been elite for their entire Leaf careers so far, and I feel like the general fanbase is just this year really starting to warm up to both of them.

We have to play against Washington in the AFTERNOON!?

How the heck are we supposed to win that one?

 

[trujaysfan]

Solid ****ing win

 

[zeke]

nice.

reims is gonna have to be a hero tommorrow now, methinks.

 

[blacksheep]

... and there it is. The win the Twitterverse predicted.
Oh wait...

 

[CTheBigPicture]

Great win boys. 2 points in the bag to start off the west coast trip

 

[LeafGm]

Huge win. That's one of the most complete games they've played all year, and the first line was huge as per usual. Hopefully they'll keep it up in San Jose!
