[Leafin']

Marincin in?

 

[Leafin']

Red Wings are looking damn quick out there.

 

[Leafin']

WOWWW MATTHEWS!

 

[CRL]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!

 

[Jeremy]

Matthews!!!!

 

[rated]

So ****ing happy we have Auston Matthews

 

[zeke]

in a season full of retahded auston matthews shifts....that.was a retahded auston matthews shift.

 

[LeafGm]

Man, the Matthews line ran roughshod over the Wings for about a solid minute in the Wings zone before he buried that.

 

[zeke]

marner line too many shifts buried in our zone.

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

That slow-mo breakdown of Matthews goal has me giddy like a school girl.

 

[PKForce81]

Marincin should not have backed off on that play there.

 

[leaffan2005]

Never seen somebody with hands that smooth. Just a special player.

 

[PKForce81]

Great play by the Matthews line but good work by Naz too just before to prevent a goal.

 

[hockeylover]

That was a pretty ****ing special goal.

 

[Volcanologist]

Can anyone believe that Auston Matthews went 13 games without scoring a goal this season? might be a while before that happens again.

 

[LeafGm]

Marincin should not have backed off on that play there.

I dunno, if it was Jake Gardiner or Morgan Rielly, I'd probably say you're right.

But for Marty Marincin, backing off in that situation was probably the right call.

And he also kept them from getting any effective pass across after they got into the zone.

 

[hockeylover]

Are you shitting me with that penalty?

 

[leaffan2005]

Are you shitting me with that penalty?

Was a pretty clear trip.

 

[CRL]

classic penalty these days
