Post-Game Talk: 1/6/18 | Canucks 2 @ Leafs 3 | Shoot out loss

[Bougieman]

Markstrom was great. No backbreaking goal that killed the teams spirit.

He tried to have one, but the ref called it back.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Who do you mean here? I’m trying to figure it out and failing badly haha

It’s probably an easy one and I’m just super spacing.

Damn it, might have not even been a Tom... I seem to remember a short name.

now I have to go research... brb...


...Just found Andrew Raycroft. Not who I'm thinking of but add him to the list.

Ha! Tom Fergus... (and found Bohonos too)

Thats it. Been fun. Good night.

I don't think he actually made our "Mickey Mouse organization" did he?

He tried to make a comeback but his back was too effed up.

I think. I dunno, that's who I thought you meant. f*** is Tom Fergus, lol.

I think this is the bad backed “Tom” @Eddy Punch Clock meant.

Just watched the game on the train. Why is Hutton scratched? Del Zotto and Gudbranson are both not really doing anything out there other then being pylons for the leafs to play around. Benching your 2nd best defenseman is absolutely an idiotic move.

But i guess expecting NHL coaching from Travis Green is too much to ask. He is lucky to have Boeser because honestly this roster on paper without Boeser. The roster is better then last years roster, and willie did a whole lot more with a whole lot less.

 

[Bedards Dad]

Swang by to say your boy Boeser is incredible and looks like the real deal from my limited viewing. Hold on to that kid for a long time!!!

Toronto barely beat a ****ty and depleted team. I don't see them doing much damage down the stretch.

Arizona has beat Nashville, Washington and NJ, Ottawa beat Tampa last night. It means nothing.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

I'm trying to think of good players who played for both of our teams. Remember Peter Zezel?

RIP.

Dude could win a faceoff.

I think the name we're searching for is Jim Benning.

Hating on Gudbranson is vogue, but he's not the first - or even second - guy I would bench in favour of Hutton. Those spots go to Del Zotto and Pouliot respectively. I know the optics of benching a recent UFA acquisition can be damming, especially for luring in other potential UFAs, but come on. It's a performance based industry.

EDIT: And I think Pouliot has had some strong nights, to be sure. But of late, I don't feel he has been so consistently better so as to merit repeatedly benching Hutton.

Connolly

Edit: apparently I can’t read but didn’t Connolly have a janky back as well?

Had a chance for a quick hello and a handshake. Not like you can tell much about a person, but certainly seemed like a good guy.

Hes a Trump supporter so he cant be that bad

You disappoint me Rosebud.

 

[M2Beezy]

You disappoint me Rosebud.

Im just kidding I dont like Trump hes too confrontational Im just hoping he calms down and brings back respect to the White House. Matthews likes him tho was pretty against Kapernack

Marky continues to crush the team's confidence in him (well... mine anyways). That non goal.. My out loud reaction to it going in was a simple somber... "There it is."

It was great to see Stecher bounce back. Was very happy with his game. Was happy with the D overall. The PK looked settled. Dowd with probably his best game - of his career? Was happy with the style of play the team/coaches implemented. Great to see Boeser snipe one on National TV.

Yeah totally agreed there on all accounts. Stechers game of the season i think he looks like he really hates the Leafs or something he was just flying out there looked like a seasoned vet so confident with the puck

Was totally meh towards Dowd but had quiet a good game really liked his effort level and even had some skill. If that is a signs of things to come Id be ok with him as a bottom 6er for us

 

[Melvin]

If that was Stecher's best game of the season then he's had a worse season than I thought.

I mean, he was alright. Nothing special. Basically quit on the 2-2 goal.

Well yeah.. hes been happy having a crappy season overall... since his injury its been outright awful.
