GDT: Canucks @ Leafs - 7pm - another day, another win part two

[ACC1224]

At the moment nothing has been released from a credible news source so we should avoid propagating any details. I think he was accused of something on Twitter. You'll catch wind of the nature of it if you search his name on Twitter (I can't find original allegation there, though).

Thanks. I’ll wait to see if it comes out

 

[CanadasTeam]

Canucks last game is May 19th, Leafs last game is the 14th so originally, the playoffs were to start a few days after the regular season. So a May 22nd start for example Leafs will have about a week off. This also bodes well for Hyman coming back healthier, and Bogosian getting an extra week of recovery.

I'm OK with this

 

[Rob Brown]

Are you serious? 2 weeks off before the playoffs start? Damn. Has it even been confirmed when the playoffs will begin? 2 weeks off seems like an awfully long time

The last game in the North is May 19. Realistically we won't start till Saturday, May 22 IMO. 3 weeks away.

That's fine. But the poster was saying 2 weeks off after the end of the regular season. That's how I read it. Maybe I am wrong.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Rest more guys again. Meaningless game

No such thing

 

[Advanced stats]

What’s the allegation ?

Not sharing as it's strictly allegation at this point and borderline gossip. Noteworthy enough that it's keeping him out of the game tonight though.

Andersen knows the best way to become the starter again is to switch careers, asking how much the Zamboni driver makes.

Well at least if he if he gets a zamboni gig he knows he can always come back and beat the Leafs whenever he wanted.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Why did they even sit Foligno. He was just off for over week with isolating.

Keefe was mouthing off that he threw a puck away in to the middle and Matthews saved him a turnover on his knock it down shoot it goal against the Habs. Keefe was intent on making his beef withthe play public. In other words,thats not what we got you for so eat the puck or move it safer

 

[CanadasTeam]

No rest for the weary. I was hoping to see Holl and Brodie given a break. Obviously nothing wrong with the lineup.

I thought the 'welp' was because Lily doesn't get another look tonight

There is a possibility the games will mean nothing and the Canucks could finish their season playing non playoff teams and it would allow a earlier start. Last three for Calgary/Vancouver are against each other. Both could be eliminated by then. Will have to play the games for draft position nonetheless.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Quite the allegations against Virtanen, who likely won't be playing tonight

Interesting.. apparently the alleged incident took place back in Sept 2017.

That too

 

[CanadasTeam]

Nucks fans are still pissed that Simmer fought Edler. Sure it was a mismatch but it was completely expected. They would be cheering if the roles were reversed. They are talking like they hope one of our skill guys gets smashed.

It was expected for sure.

In response to a tweet by Iain MacIntyre, I really liked Bieksa's comments about the Edler-Simmonds fight and code players abide to:

 

[Wafflewhipper]

It is going to be difficult not to switch and watch the Dallas/Nashville game tonight. It will be a playoff style intensity likely. If we are scoring good I won’t be able to switch. That’s a good game to watch if you want to get a indication of playoff atmosphere.

 

[Crosscrease14]

I'll be a lil disappointed if Timmy doesn't draw in tonight... Thought he looked really solid last game.

 

[leafsfan5]

It was expected for sure.

Bieksa is great, probably the only HNIC analyst who I enjoy listening to

I’m willing to bet he won’t

I also agree when he says it wasn't a dirty pre-mediated hit either on Hyman.

This is the same bunch that cheered on Benn when he stood up for Hughes right? It’s fundamentally the same thing.

Smart precaution on their part, it's good they're taking this seriously.

I always find it very stupid when an allegation like this is made, not saying he's guilty or innocent. But 4 years after the fact, how do you even prove what happened at this point ? How would you find evidence to prove him guilty ?

“I couldn’t believe that I said no and he didn’t take that for an answer,” she says. “I felt violated and gross and wanted to leave.”

Emily spoke out after seeing other women come forward with their own experiences on an anonymous Instagram account.​

Leafs strong depth should create that really good & healthy competition Dubas has mentioned; should be great for their run, no passengers.


Smart & vocal players clicking together, Brooks is probably taking it all in like a sponge; I think he'll continue to do well on this line & it may become hard to breakup them up if that happens.

Cases like this are very different then others, very delayed allegations are very common & they still very much have the ability to prove what happened, it's just hindered because of the time that has passed.

It's not dumb at all if it's true, it can be a hard thing to come out with.

With 2 weeks off before the start of the playoffs rest shouldn’t be an issue, it’s probably more about getting some players game ready now that we’ve secured our PO spot.

Hopefully Matthews doesn’t sit, I selfishly want him to hit the 40 mark, needs 4 in the next 6 games.

I want 41 goals to get to 60 goal pace in a regular season.
