GDT: Wild vs Leafs, Feb 24, 7pm - Slumpbusters

[zeke]

Two good, dynamic teams that are in a rough patch. Wild have lost 3 of 4 and 4 of 7, much like the Leafs.

But they're a good and deep team that can score with anyone.

Tonight's gonna be a slumpbuster for one team or the other. Better be us.

Lineups are accurate i think - though zuccarello may be questionable to play:

Hopefully the Buds win this one tonight for me. Tomorrow is a big day -

 

[zeke]

Mrazek vs Kahkonen confirmed.

 

[Burnie97]

Just get a W. Solid goaltending and battle along the boards.

No stupid give aways.

Shots on net and rebounds. Stop trying to pass it into the net.

GLG

Sure it could of been but how often does this happen league wide. It's Iike the league is mad he draws too many penalties as a Leaf player.

They haven't been able to suspend anyone in a while on the Leafs so...

no diving citations for bunting prior to being a leaf, of course.

Matthews gets no calls because he doesn't dive, now bunting won't get any more calls because he dives.

This f***ing league.

Yup. Can't win either way.

Meanwhile Mcjesus draws all the penalties... yes he is the best but matthews in comparison gets barely any.

The league really needs to take a look at how shitty and bias they are towards certain players and teams.

 

[trellaine201]

Tough game ahead. Mind you not as tough as the last few

I wonder who shows up tonight.

 

[Dekes For Days]

LMAO @ fining Bunting for diving - and a week later.

This league just doesn't even try to hide their bias and incompetence.

Looks like pretty good dive to me. He needs to work on that.

Um what? Maybe it was a dive, not sure you can tell anything from that video but it certainly wasn't egregious. Bunting does initiate contact that could create a penalty regularly, that looks to me like what he did there, that's not diving though. It's putting yourself in position to draw a penalty - the other player still has to commit the infraction.

We FINNA TRAP THAT THANG!! TRAP THAT THANG!!!! WOOP WOOPP!!! OUR GANGSTAS GOT GAME!!!! Gotta love our chechances!!!!

[Coachcorner]

Diving is thug too sire. Errrrhtang a brother can do to hustle and help the tezeam. For real sire. We now have our own Domi/marchand/sucka. Bunting finna a be a tucker type of fan favourite for life.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

We should have won last game .. if we play like last game we should win tonight with a tender who makes all MAKABLE saves .. but it is a BIG IF .. no Holl screw ups to worry about .. Lub screw up was a fluke puck flip on bad ice .. I doubt Mitch makes his mistake again either .. we clean up da errors and make da normal saves and it should be a hard fought win

[Magic Man]

Every time someone breathes on Bunting he catapults himself face first into the boards.

It amuses me.

 

[Confucius]

WTF is that even about? Geez the league must hate us.......... Love it. LOL!

 

[Magic Man]

Montembault, Berube and now Kahkonen.

This is a bit of a killers row this week.

 

[AvroArrow]

They found out we put Muzzin on LTIR

 

[Burnie97]

I like this ... good omens

Going to enjoy a few pints with this game. I think Leafs turn it around tonight.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

Let's get back in the win column. Both teams are struggling so no reason we can't break out of this funk with a dominant win. Let's go buds!

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Hoping for a win

hoping the second line can win us a game for the first time in 2 months

Hoping for solid goaltending

 

[therealkoho]

The Senators beat them the other night with speed and a willingness to engage and stand up for themselves. The Leafs have the speed to get it done, but do they have the Will. That's not a mistake.
