GDT: Leafs @ Avalanche- 7pm

[CabanaBoy5]

A speedy Domi looked good with Willie. Bert also was quite engaged, particularly in front of the net. The lines make more sense now. Robbie and McMann are solid 3rd line players and meshed well with JT.

 

[Mess]

This should be a good game tonight. Entertainment potential HIGH.

 

[ToneDog]

Avs need this game more than the Leafs and I am thinking MacKinnon does not want to be outshined by Matty in his barn. Should be a great game if both teams show up.

Hope Reaves beats Manson's ass for that crosscheck to Mathews last game

On a side note, Josh Manson would be ideal partner for Reilly right now and I think Treliving would be salivating if he was on the Ducks still. Thats exactly his type of defenseman

Reaves has only 2 majors this season (first 2 games if I recall) and didn't start either of them. Doubt he's beating anyone's ass

Tough matchup, the Avs have a strong counter attack

He doesn't seem willing to beat on an unwilling combatant.....and there is basically nobody in the league that wants to go.

Last game Mackinnon showed up our stars.

This game I hope our big boys return the favour, playing some elite hockey just need to continue to play the way we are

That ducks game alone Gudas ducked him 2-3 times. He’s had moments where if he were like domi or Bert it would be a fight, but since it’s him guys duck him

It’s good that he’s playing solid 4th line hockey though, not a liability out there anymore

 

[Confucius]

When we beat the Avs, there is a good chance it was a blowout. I expect another tonight.

 

[Stephen]

Benchmark game here. Keefe called Colorado’s stars from another league. Hopefully the Leafs are fired up to bring them down to earth.

 

[Obo]

1 change for me, go back to Liljegren on PP1

Yeah, it's a win-win. PP1 becomes more effective and it allows our best defenseman to log more 5v5 time.

 

[Doublerum1975]

Has Nylander ever been in a fight in his career? I sense one coming tonight.

Protect the face!

I think he beat his brother up when they were kids lol

Oh lord i forgot about that... what a stupid f***ing comment that was

He had it coming

Want to see some of this tonight



âï¸ Joe Bowen So funny Rielly suspension

 

[Fogelhund]

Such an early game.... wow...

Not a fan of these 10pm games at all, glad it's back to a normal time.

Yeah Ive seen him in multiple games where he was asking people to go and they just wouldn't. The latest was the Anaheim game. Ross Johnston and Gudas refused to go with him

Reaves also just doesn't want to jump a guy and get caught with an instigator penalty. Sheldon Keefe penalizes players for putting the team in on the penalty kill

 

[DarkKnight]

Reaves in or does Gregor slot back?

 

[CelticDruid]

That was a great game against Vegas.
I loved the way the whole team played with purpose on the forecheck. Solid D helped immensely, a great win for the boys.

Looking forward to the Colorado tilt.

I'm still in disbelief that we took Vegas' style and fed it right back to them. Leafs teams from the past just don't do that.

We need Joe back, 100%. I don't know WTF SN and TSN are thinking. Something has to be done about it. Seriously. Can we do something to get him back on TV?

 

[Jojalu]

The boys have earned some goodwill.

Come out and play hard again . Win or lose I will be happy if they continue the trend of this style of play.

Happy seems too strong of a word.

I won't lose my mind

 

[OVO16]

Have to think Reaves stays in with how well the 4th line played last game. He even picked up an assist

 

[ACC1224]

Wonder how much the altitude affects visitors in Denver ? Must be an advantage for the Avs.

It is a pretty big adjustment.

Any team from Denver would have an advantadge over a visiting team from another State.

Wanted Manson so badly but he wasn’t deemed good enough for us by many here, including our former GM.

So instead the Avs trade for him, because, like you know, the Avs can’t hold a candle to our masterful roster assembling, trade for him and win a Cup.

Good enough for a team pushing hard for a Cup, but not so much good enough for us…..

Luckily we were all in on Hollsy…..
