GDT: Detroit @ Leafs at 7:00pm April 13 2024... on CBC and SN.. Matthews goes for 70

[PromisedLand]

Those East matchups would be insane! One can dream. And ya I mostly just hate watch the Western games. Let’s go Dallas?

Yup Dallas, Preds and Avs are the only teams I'd be cheering for in the west - if at all.

Kings, Nucks, Oilers, Jets, VGK don't interest me LOL

 

[Gilmour1996]

Even if Domi feels healthy to play, was there any need? Just rest him. We have depth.

Give him an extra day

Our coach would move him off the first line forever if he misses a game and Marner stapled in his place forever. Toronto Maple Keefes.

 

[PromisedLand]

I’ve been tired of seeing lyubushkin flub a simple zone exit and have it lead to chances and goals against

Like him as a depth option, but let’s leave him as our #7/8

Both him and Brodie especially on the backhand passes from the d-zone give me heartaches

Rielly-XXX
Beniot-McCabe
Edmundson-Liljegren

if I had to choose between Brodie/Gio/Lyubushkin/Timmins b/c thats all we've got; I'd still pick Boosh over the other 3 next to Rielly though because our options are limited

Rielly-McCabe haven't been paired together even once so doing it in playoffs would be a bit dangerous

Too bad Detroit is hungry. Gonna make it harder for Matthews to score.

Too bad Holl has been a healthy scratch else Matthews and Willy both hit their milestones tonight

So I’ll meet you in Gryffindor common room Saturday for the games bud! You bring the butter beer I’ll bring the chocolate frogs!

Boy you really narrowed it down there!

Personally, I don't cheer for any team in *that* conference except the one(s) playing Canadian teams. Seeing any one of Vancouver, Edmonton or Winnipeg win the Cup would be almost as painful as the Habs winning it. Or Ottawa. Thankfully, we haven't had any of those scenarios in a few decades.

 

[Rare Jewel]

I agree with this, I'd like to get reps in with all 9 d before the playoffs. If you want to give Webber a shot, do it in the last game of the year.

------

It's nice to finally have a lot of depth option in case of injuries.

Domi - Matthews - Bertuzzi
McMann - Tavares - Nylander
Jarnkrok - Holmberg - Marner
Knies - Kampf - Dewar
Option 1- Reaves if we need toughness
Option 2- Robertson if we need scoring
Others - Gregor, Steeves

Rielly - McCabe
Brodie - Liljegren
Benoit - Edmundson
Lyubushkin
Giordano
Timmins
Webber

Sammy
Woll
Jones
Murray

The forward group looks about right.

I think Lybushkin will be with Rielly though.


For me, goaltending is still a coin flip between Woll and Samsonov. Perhaps that's too harsh on Sam, but when he's off, he looks rather bad.

Matthews record is more important than the playoffs

If the goalie makes a save on Matthews tonight Domi will knock his block off

 

[BM14]

If the goalie makes a save on Matthews tonight Domi will knock his block off

As he should. Who tf does the goalie think he is?

 

[Evilhomer]

If the goalie makes a save on Matthews tonight Domi will knock his block off

If a Detroit goalie makes a save on anyone tonight it will be cause for celebration. Making saves is not really their thing. It's why they will likely miss the playoffs.

Last home game before the 4 game Florida trip.

Tampa Vs Caps
Bruins Vs Pens

interesting games. But same time as the Leafs tonight

You just know God Boy is gonna shut us out.

I want him to get to 70 (and beyond) as much as the next guy, but this organization is on the precipice of an enema if they flame out of the playoffs again.

You feel awesome after an enema.

 

[Rare Jewel]

You feel awesome after an enema.

Hence, why you have them.

 

[MSZ]

Reimer has won against the Leafs once this year already. No brainer for the Wings to start him tonight.

 

[Macallan18]

Ha, the Dead Things scratched Holl, no comment necessary.
So is Yzerman flawless as a GM? Is Chiarot dressed?

Hence, why you have them.

No. Just no

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Good Luck James R

Spoiler: Hope you play well

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Reimer?

 

[LeafalCrusader]

So I assume 7:15 puck drop with the Saturday night pregame crap?

 

[trellaine201]

I am hoping Detroit wins for obvious reasons I think.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Hope to see a better defensive effort and more focus to attention to detail.
Not sure the 2 points or anything else matters other than health at this point.

Someone talked to Bert - the derange fu manchu is gone.
Thanks to whomever it was....
