WTF 7 years?!

McPhee sucks.

GM of the year.

Just realised that we're at 1900 posts, lol, and that Chychrun is once again injured for a long duration of time. I admit that once he played he was pretty solid from what I saw, but I am quite relieved that we passed on him.

What's the story on Viktor Rask, he got a hand injury in the kitchen of all places? Cut himself that deep?

It's possible he just managed to hit the exact wrong part of his hand.

The Yotes are cursed though. I mean, how in hell does Christian Dvorak get on the ice for a rehab skate and manage to tear his frickin' pectoral? Same goes with Chychrun. I never did see the cheap shot that sidelined him this go-around.

Wait, where's Cthulhu? I thought he was to appear.

 

[Pokecheque]

I noticed Blake Comeau's line was on the the ice for both goals against in the choke job against the Wylde last night. On what ended up being the GWG I even noticed he pulled a General and was pointing something out right before it happened.

Los Angeles currently being outplayed on home ice by Buffalo.

Yeah, could be a long season for the Kings, too. They look bad.

 

[Balthazar]

Yeah Buffalo winning 5-1 in L.A is pretty damn bad. Something will have to happen there. Can't afford to miss the playoffs with an old roster like that signed for many more years.

Detroit's all in for Hughes.

Not the best performance. If Matthews goes pointless again Mackinnon will overtake him soon.

 

[Foppberg]

The sad thing is I really like Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares etc. Very exciting team, but the media and their fanbase make wanting them to have success so much harder.

Oh for sure, I live right in Toronto so I hear it daily. I just sit back and watch the Avs stay under the radar. Does it really count as an underdog story if everyone is just ignorant?

 

[Avs44]

Can't wait to hear more from Leafs fans about what an all around #1 D Morgan Reilly is.

 

[Avsboy]

RoR just did RoR things to score
Babcock made a Babcock face...slightly angry perplexed look while chewing gum or drinking a water bottle

Some things never change

 

[AvsFan29]

Toronto is making St Louis look good. 9 shots through 40 mins is rough for a team that's all offence.

 

[Balthazar]

Panthers reaaaaaaaaally need a goalie. They gave 3 unanswered goals to Detroit and are now trailing. They are so bad.

 

[Hennessy]

I want the Blues to lose, but constant exposure to Leafs fans has made it impossible to root for Toronto.

 

[Avsboy]

Matthews had no points and wasn't as impressive as Mackinnon always is. I saw a good snap shot or wrist shot and a big body in opportune positions, but puck skills weren't that great tonight. Flubbed some good chances or made a few clumsy passes.

 

[Nalens Oga]

O'Reilly is one of the most overrated players in the league imo, he's good but he's not one of the top 20 NHL centres like people are saying now. His defence made him overrated. I'd even go far as to say that as of this year, I'd take Brayden Schenn over him from the same team.

And Matthews doesn't get to have Landeskog and Rantanen as his teammates. He's also in his 3rd season and you're comparing him to Mac who's in his 6th. Matthews I think is better but Mac maybe has him beat by a bit in his own zone. Either way, Matthews has shit for linemates this season, he has them on the PP but at even strength, he has Marleau who's now basically like how shit Iggy was late for us and Hyman who just gives the illusion of hustling but has little hands or Kapanen who's decent but closer to a 2nd/3rd line guy that doesn't have good playmaking skills.

No, instead he gets Tavares, Marner, Kadri, Nylander, Reilly, Kapanen etc.

 

[BobRossColton]

All Central teams won/winging today...

I meant linemates. He does get those guys on the PP but he's pretty much anchoring his line at ES until Nylander gets back. Mikko's really picked up the slack and made it tougher for other teams this year but more importantly, Mikko and Landeskog (who's become even more underrated) are just good passers and handlers of the puck which I can't say for Matthews' linemates.
