GDT: Leafs @ Avalanche- 7pm

[Jmo89]

Wasn't it the Avs that started the team on their slump of losing games late in regulation? They were up 3-0 last game I think and lost on a goal in the last few minutes.

Then they let one in late against Edmonton and someone else.

 

[DarkKnight]

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

Gregor was kind of meh in his game too.

 

[authentic]

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.

Tonight will be a better test because Colorado aren’t missing their best players and you know MacKinnon isn’t going to take this one lightly. Hopefully Matthews can outplay MacKinnon in Colorado to make up for last time

 

[authentic]

It is a pretty big adjustment.

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

Does this mean MacKinnon, Sakic and Forsberg all had an unfair advantage over other elite players? Because it’s hard to imagine they would be much worse playing for another team.

They're technically missing their best LW

But yeah, this will certainly be the toughest test since the break. They are much quicker than the teams we've played, so I am hoping we can match their speed.

ahh shit.. black jerseys. Can’t remember the last time we’ve won in them lmao. We must be like 1-20 wearing them

 

[Anthrax442]

Lets go!

 

[DarkKnight]

Hope nobody breaks their femur jumping off the bandwagon if we lose one.

Should be a good tilt.

Pretty sure we won last game wearing them

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Why can't we have a cool helmet sponsor like Kiewit

I propose Halliburton

 

[Stephen]

I hate that the Leafs are trying to look like the 90s Tampa Bay Lightning. Even the blue and greys from that weird bubble year looked more Leafy.

 

[rojac]

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?

No way. I would always prefer Cuthbert and Miller over laughing boy.

Training in high altitude does give an advantadge.

They would all be superstars no matter where they played though.

I know for baseball it makes a difference and not just for how far the ball will travel, but how it affects spin on a breaking ball.

Lots of evidence as to why Kenya runs marathons so well is due to the high altitude they train in.

As long as you can tell high ream is which, does it really matter what they wear?

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Yeah Brady you guys are certainly proving all the doubters wrong with your garbage time win. Best thing their team has done all season is turn ours around.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Hope nobody breaks their femur jumping off the bandwagon if we lose one.

Should be a good tilt.

People who hop on bandwagons in February deserve what they get (or don't get).

The Av's embarrassed us last time we met, here's hoping for a much more respectable performance this time around.

 

[stats1]

This is going to end 6-5 for someone. Expecting pure entertainment

 

[Stephen]

Yeah of course it does. Not wearing your team colours is sports sacrilege!

 

[tmlms13]

Uhg they got these awful jerseys again

 

[fahad203]

Nothing says original toronto maple leafs than a jersey made for video gamers

Howdy Ho's !!

Let's keep this train rollin' rollin'.

You do realize that CBC has not produced NHL Hockey since the spring of 2014. Basically, they just give over some air time to Sportsnet (who gets all the ad money) in exchange for content and promo spots. The broadcasters and crew all work for SN who pays for all productio.

 

[TMLife17]

Hoping for a great effort! Sometimes she doesn’t go but you can always give a good effort!

Go Leafs Go!!!
