Around the League 2019-20 - Part II

[puck stoppa]

I can’t stop watching that period, and I don’t even hate the leafs like most. Some of you must be in heaven

 

[Keystone]

It’s all James Reimers fault....still.

 

[SUX2BU]

I mean we can't throw stones considering we live in the "got shutout by the accountant Hawks emergency goalie" glass-house but atleast we had the excuse that we were leading the division and maybe weren't playing with much intensity. But to get outshot 10-7 in the 3rd period while your playoff lives are on the line while being down just 1 goal to start the 3rd period against a 42 year old emergency goalie has got to be confidence shaking in that Leafs locker room.

The Toronto media is going to destroy them... I almost feel bad for the Leafs players.

I don’t .....

 

[AlphaLackey]

I don’t .....

yeah funny I tried so hard to find sympathy for the Leafs that my eye started bleeding like Mads Mikkelson in Casino Royale but good golly Miss Molly, I just couldn't find a way.

 

[bustamente]

Leafs board tonight, yes they are using pillows as they are as soft as their team

 

[SUX2BU]

Canada’s reaction to the leaves game

 

[GeorgeJETson]

For the Leafs game

 

[Guardian17]

I’m gonna need a smoke after this Leafs loss. That was sooooo satisfying

I'm gonna need a smoke and a pancake!

 

[bustamente]

No favours from the Bolts tonight

 

[LowLefty]

Emergency goalies are on the verge of remaining undefeated, so I think they're good enough.

How embarrassing for the leafs -
Yea - I guess they are good enough -
Then again, he had 5 guys playing D in front of him - but, fun to watch - especially the Leafs

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

At the very least, the Leafs should call him up to drive the zamboni in the bigs

Maybe opposing teams will hire him to clean the ice when leafs are in town.

would be quite entertaining to have a celebrity Zamboni driver at MTS place during the leaf game.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

 

[LowLefty]

Right. Like in Winnipeg it’s ex Bison university goalies still in their 20s or early 30s that can play.

Burke was just on stating the league should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this - they couldn't find a better / younger goaltender in the GTA?
As per Burke - Twilight zone

 

[brendan smith]

Gonna be a great night to lurk on their board.

Ive been liking all the Leaf fans condescending comments (from the 2nd period) about how they’re going to light the Zamboni Driver up.

It feels so good

Does this make me a bad person? Lol

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Leafs post game thread. Beaten by their own Zamboni driver.

Post-Game Talk: - Worst Leafs performance I’ve seen in 25 years as a fan

People like to give Chevy a rough ride around here but at least he isn’t as bad as Dubas.

Horrific trade to bring in Barrie, a defenceman that they didn’t need. Plus, he got bent over on the Marner, Matthews and Tavares contracts.

Also, the boy wonder coach is looking pretty shaky. Benched his top 6, and nobody seems happy or confident. Run and gun is catching up to the Leafs as teams start playing for keeps.

 

[Derfel]

Good for Ayers, enjoy your win man!

The guy is a real jerk.

Hard to feel sorry for players that squeezed the Leafs for 11M contracts.

Not sure having a "new age" coach is helping.

I don't even get what a New Age coach is -
Are they the guys that don't pay any attention to hockey fundamentals?

[sipowicz]

Dear HNIC and SN,

Can you please replay the third period of the Leafs vs. Canes game from tonight?

thanks,

The rest of Canada

 

[LowLefty]

Well fill me in Duke - I'm all ears.
The Leafs certainly do not appear to be paying much attention to the game basics.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Let's be honest: today was the deluxiest of all deluxe poutine OOT scoreboards. Let's not be freakin' greedy

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Bruins could have used David Ayres tonight

There was also a nice shot of Dubas leaving his press box in disgust lol
