GDT: Canucks @ Leafs 7:30 - another day, another win

[fahad203]

80s Leafs had so many characters, so many players come and gone
It seems players didn't last more than 5 years in that era
Except maybe Todd Gill and Clark

 

[Leafsfan74]

Don't think there's 10 NHL regulars in the league that are more of a heavyweight than Simmonds; he's not Reaves tough but he is really tough.

I view him as a tough cruiserweight. He's certainly not a push over and it was a clear mismatch with him vs. Elder, however, it wasn't dangerously mismatched.

I saw Nurse get ragdolled by Lucic against the bench and like Simmonds did tonight he held back. THAT was a mismatch. As I said, I am on the fence about it.

What if Hyman was out for the season, or his career?
I'm not into the fighting anymore, but I get it. Leaf players need to know that some players have their backs. We've seen the team be bullied and run on before without a response.

It's becoming a pattern with Holl and insert name here

It is. I honestly don't see how they can protect Holl over Dermott. I know some people are going to roast me for this but except for a small handful of games he's gone downhill ever since the 3 games they shut down the Oilers. And was really good up to that point.

Mik's laid hits the last two shits.

 

[egd27]

I was born yesterday!

I know how long it's been since a Bar Six was around

 

[Super Mega]

would love to try Muzzin - Lilly

 

[The Examiner]

Mikheyev throwing his body around. You love to see it.

 

[deltamachine]

He's musclular 185. Not Jeff O'niell
Also, he's 6'3

Not a heavy weight, but definatly punches above his weight class.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

me neither, hes a great player but his limitations are clear.

Even if you dont like Rielly, just go look at his draft class. What a brutal first round.

 

[Black hat blue eyes]

What's with the fans who think it's a catastrophic problem if a depth defenseman has to get into games?

It's not, but it's a terrible sign if we get there. That means we have gone through sandin and lilly as the 7 and 8 defenseman and are into the 9 and 10 dman....that's a lot of injuries

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Mik's laid hits the last two shits.

Lol

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Not really, but it's not a shock that going from a top pairing defenseman as his partner to a #7 guy has hurt him

Yeah but the narrative around here that he's a legit top 4 d-man that shouldn't be exposed in the expansion draft under any circumstances is completely unwarranted. In fact, Dermott should probably be protected over Holl - at least with Dermott you know he can anchor his pairing and as he's 5 years younger than Holl could soon work his way into a bigger role

Cost 10 cents and no sales tax!

 

[MattySnipes]

Someone said after Simmonds injury, he won't fight again this year.

Well, that's clearly debunked. He healed up niice

 

[123offtheglass]

Liljegren has looked better as the game has gone on, thought he was a little shakey his first couple shifts.

His gap control tonight has been top notch.

 

[TMLeafer]

How lol

 

[egd27]

Cost 10 cents and no sales tax!

and another 5 cents for a mini pop to go with it

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Can i see the Matthews replay instead of another stupid commercial?

 

[Griffin76]

Matthews must hate Holtby

 

[IPS]

Settle down holtby
..

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Too much Indian food?

 

[zeke]

Sandin-Lilly 3rd pair game 1.

Do it.

 

[IPS]

Can we please get a pp to see what sandin looks like running it????

 

[fahad203]

Liljegren has looked better as the game has gone on, thought he was a little shakey his first couple shifts.

His gap control tonight has been top notch.

There's a massive difference between NHL and AHL speed. There are a of AHL players who can pass and shoot like NHLers, they just can't adjut to speed........... See Robie Scrhremp, TJ Brennan

I think Lilly has looked good as any D. I am not missing Rielly at all

Which sucks, because I would have liked to see him on a PP

 

[stickty111]

Sandin-Lilly 3rd pair game 1.

Do it.

It's not the worst idea if Bogo is out.
