GDT: Oilers @ Maple Leafs @ 7:00pm - HNIC

[TimHorton]

If Matthews had those two turnovers it would lead TSN for a month

Acciari is pretty easy to like.

The Leafs taking a big dump on Oil Change on national TV never gets old.

We won, move on.

I like that Craig Simpsons colour commentator style when breaking down a replay is just to restate what the play by play guy said in different words.

already said it but it bears repeating

suck it Spector

I dislike Edmonton and their fans so much. So pleased the Leafs whipped them.

 

[Preston]

Solid gritty underdog pesky performance by the lesser talented leafs

Took a quick look at their sub on Reddit. Number one complaint about the game? Refs

I kind of like 11 forwards. It gets the big 4 on the ice with each other more. Marner-Nylander and Matthews-JT both created goals.

Desharnais is 80

I wrote about it earlier on the defense as well. For the remainder of the games you rest up your guys. You try different pairs and create pk specialist or pp like Gus?

Pretty interesting what it does for defense and the offense.. Even gives some time for guys like acciari and lafferty to play with the big boys some times. It gives us so many different looks

I love how in a game with all the players Mitch Marner whipped it out like he was at a soco family pool party and was far and away the best player. He was a menace all over the ice. Dude brought it.

 

[mbow30]

An acciari is great. The first legit gudpro this team has had since Gary Roberts.

 

[MindzEye]

As a journalist....

Lol, fuck off

You don't need to dress 11 forwards to play 11 forwards. They can dress 12 and then blend as desired. What happens if one or two guys get hurt in the game? It's just so dumb.

And for what, to have 7 guys playing D and rotating between pairs?

 

[mbow30]

one more thing - that entire shift where bunting got the offsetting 4 was shameful. There were two clear penalties on Lilly (a hole and then a head shot) and the ref watched and waited for bunting to retaliate before calling anything. Bunting was grabbed, Hooked and then punched in the head a bunch of times. It’s sadistic to hate a guy that much because he made a few refs look bad on dives.

I hope the league deals with that behind closed doors. If bunting hadn’t retaliated they wouldn’t have Called anything on a guy getting ragdolled and repeatedly punched in the head while he was defenseless on the ice. That’s fucked up n

Did they actually do a video for Jack, btw? All this noise about him coming back to TO...they realized he was a Leaf for like 5 minutes, right?

RNH going full post game Messier. I’m guessing he was compared to a different 80s Oiler when they compared the Hall Oil change to the dynasty Oil
