GDT: Leafs at Caps Tuesday 6 PM -- ESPN Frozen Frenzy

[rojac]

Tomorrow night's 6 pm start is far from the most bizarre game time for the Leafs this year.

That comes next month when the Leafs only play 3 games in a stretch from Nov. 12-24 and a lot of fans are going to hate the game times for all 3.

Why?

First, the Leafs go to Stockholm (with Sens, Wings, and Wild) as part of the NHL Global Series. They play two games there:

* Friday, November 17 @ Wings (8 pm in Stockholm, 2 pm ET, 11 am PT)

* Sunday, November 19 @ Wild (2 pm in Stockholm, 8 am ET, 5 am PT)

Then, the Leafs return to North America and play a Black Friday game against the Blackhawks:

* Friday, November 24 @ Blackhawks (1 pm in Chicago, 2 pm ET, 11 am PT)

So, in comparison, a 6 pm start isn't too bad.

Seriously, what is that? You'd think there'd be some media about whatever it is that is.

There was some talk about it when the schedule came out. And I've heard and seen it talked about a few times since.

That leaves Domi setting up Kampf and Jarnkrok. Don't really see a fit there he needs someone to pass to. He had good chemistry with Knies last game might as well give them some more time together.

Knies-Kampf-Domi showed a really nice ability to make forced turnovers and quick transitions, seems like a nice spot for Kampf to make a difference without necessarily getting points. Nice line.

Yuk. Not sure I want to trade my typical evening game refreshments for coffee, cereal and toast.

Put some Baileys in your coffee and call it a day. Lol

Game is on TSN in Canada

That makes is even worse.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Put Knies with MnM, let him build off his big game

 

[Strangle]

Honestly, f*** these games that are occasionally on TSN

Making us subscribe to multiple streaming services, and TSN having a dog shit browser based service.

I won’t be watching any of the TSN games

 

[Suntouchable13]

Can Ovi stay goalless for one more game?

 

[Twine Tickler]

5 primary assists for Sandin too

hate to say it, but I've already made the bet Sandin over 0.5 assists. Stupid value at 3:1 IMO.

Clearly the odds makers have no clue how former Leafs play against the Leafs.

 

[ACC1224]

Have the Leafs ever held him scoreless?
(I assume they have but it doesn't seem like it)

 

[Squiffy]

Guess I missed it. Good luck to the concept I guess, anything pushing HRR higher is good news for the Leafs.

Let’s promote the trash. Jarnkrok sucks. He’s done nothing. Keefe you’re an idiot.

Glad Woll is in. Kids a stud.

 

[ULF_55]

Oh yes....

It is a big day in the US for hockey. They are launching a new program that will be like RedZone for football.

All 32 teams playing and they want to show every PP, every goal etc..


This week looks great for golf. Have to get those last couple rounds in.

Friday looks great!

Just don't use a white ball ...

 

[shaner8989]

If Knies and Domi can carry Kampf on a line that’s amazing, hopefully they have chemistry and it wasn’t a one off. Ultimately, I’d prefer Holmberg in the 3 hole, but…

Agreed. Kampf is a black whole. Provides absolutely f*** all offensively. Put him on the 4th line and move Holmberg to line 3 with Domi and Knies

 

[ULF_55]

Thanks for the jinx.

Watching this game and my buddy says at least got a tie.

I said it ain't over yet.

So, who jinx'd?

 

[notbias]

Feel like we can start thinking about rotating Reaves out once in a while if the cap situation permits.

it doesn't we signed him for too much.

Barely. .73 GPG

This is the issue.

That line is getting caved in.

 

[egd27]

Washington is pretty bad. I don't think this one will be close.

How much do you think they will beat us by ?

Last goal Ovi scored on the Leafs was 2019-2020 season I believe.

 

[ACC1224]

I would have lost a lot of money betting against that.

 

[IPS]

Same. Feels like Ovi kills us every game but apparently that's a thing of the past now thankfully.
