GDT: TSN turning point. Flyers @ Leafs 7PM on SN

[The Apologist]

He absolutely does not need to fight, but I'm not a fan of him going for a skate while his teammates are scrumming it up on his behalf.

Grab a guy's collar or something. Facewash. Anything.

He didn't?

 

[egd27]

Matthews shooting isn't on, so maybe it is an injured hand or wrist?

from all the fighting.....that guy called it

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I like winning more than losing

 

[Tak7]

Honestly he should have started throwing and just got the jump. If you dont want to fight get on it quick and take down Kocecny

Exactly - real fake tough guy stuff. We saw a ton of it in the playoffs last year.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Flyers throwing cross checks at the end .. a little bitter

 

[saffronleaf]

lmao who is the poor leaf they kept cross checking after game was done wtf

 

[The Masters]

So nice watching a Leafs team play with emotion.

it was all tortz

 

[cyris]

It 100% would not. You think any NHL defender is gonna give more space to the best player on the team because he won a fight in the past? Absolutely ridiculous take.

They will just try to goad him into another fight. Unless it’s McDavid or Makar it isn’t worth the 5 minute trade off.

I mean, he did with Konecny?

 

[HockeyMad68]

Good game. Good effort.

 

[alliuk12]

Right on

The Risto special

 

[BackPassChampions]

Matthews gave him a pretty big shove that started the second scrum. So at least it was something.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Should have been Douglas called up tonight for this stuff. Not holmberg. No reason why Kampf can't play that 3rd line C spot. Holmberg has not been effective.

Or put Simmonds in for the giraffe Engvall who refuses to use his size.

Douglas has not been effective in the AHL so far this year.

 

[egd27]

That's what the minimum wagers are there for.

And therein lies the biggest problem with this "team"

 

[Kurtz]

Leave your gloves on......but stop skating away and letting the minimum wagers fight your battles. thats not captain material

He punched Konecny a few times, that's why the guy was pissed. Did you actually watch the game or were you busy typing?

Because stars don't fight just to please you?

Must have missed that

 

[Kurtz]

Matthews leads the team in hits in the playoffs. What in God's name are you on?

Must have missed that

Well that's understandable, you were soo eager to comment on the play you forgot to actually watch it.

 

[Tak7]

I mean, he did with Konecny?

He gave him a shove after Konecny came at him again, after it was all done and dusted.

 

[Gallagbi]

...Gio did jump in

 

[egd27]

Because stars don't fight just to please you?

Not even close. Think about it harder, or maybe ask a friend

...Gio did jump in

That was my point

 

[Sniper99]

when i read that Gio speared someone, I thought he did it wiht the stick and said "jesus Christ Gio why do something that stupid." Then i saw the clip. Goldberg approved

 

[frizzer1]

It would have been stupid for Matthews to fight.
But i wish they had drafted konecny instead of dermott like a lot of posters on this forum said at the time.

 

[egd27]

Not even close. Think about it harder, or maybe ask a friend


That was my point....the 38? year old is needed to jump in
