GDT: Canucks@Leafs 7PM HNIC CBC

[TMLeafer]

Go Leafs Go!

I'm ready to hear useless biographical facts about Canucks players from Jim tonight. They will be introduced to you like you've never watched an out of market game before.

 

[Nooodles]

I have a feeling a loss here would send everybody here into total metldown mode

Depens on the way we play. If we play the same stretch pass nonsense bullshit with 86 giveaways and 76 icing and terrible powerplay again, and we lose, yes, I will go to total meltdown mode.

If we lose like we did against Tampa, it's all fine.

The frustrating thing they seem to stick with things that aren't working for far too long.

 

[Liminality]

Meltdown mode like Nashville meltdown mode? We'll be fine either way.

 

[Warden of the North]

Ready for some Hughson tears

Please tell me who that is on?

I'll take that over hearing "the great reach of Chara!!" 56 times when we play the Bruins.....

 

[ShaneFalco]

The whole coaching staff

 

[TheDoldrums]

Looking forward to Hughson describing the majesty and genius of Bo Horvat with every minor play.

Although to be fair at least it will be appropriate to bring him up tonight, unlike every other broadcast. "Babcock throws out Tavares for a big faceoff against the Bruins here. He's earned his coaches trust, much like Bo Horvat over there in Vancouver."

 

[Al14]

Would have been nice to see Petterson, this should be a win for the Leafs.

The problem is, our Leafs just love to take the 'should be' out, and replace it with won't!

 

[Al14]

The whole coaching staff

Wrong answer! Babcock is in charge of the coaching staff!

 

[4StevieBlunder4]

Easy win boys.
Just give Hutch some support, there was NOTHING wrong with his game against Minnesota, but they were playing like Anderson was in net. Not every goalie can bail us out, not every goalie is a Vezina candidate.

But I think we can all agree that everyone is more comfortable with Hutch in net than Sparks- the team sure seemed more comfortable.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

No Pettersson, no excuses. Need a bounce back effort tonight

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

hopefully the Leafs don't take the night off again. this is a game they should win

 

[Mess]

NHL standings

Toronto ..... 54 points
Boston ....... 50 points
Buffalo....... 50 points
Montreal .. 49 points

Leafs need to use their 1 game in hand to start creating some separation again from the chasing pack as a tough stretch is ahead and we could find ourselves on the outside of the playoffs looking in without some much needed wins again.

Without Freddy things are getting tight in the Atlantic.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Sucks that their best player is hurt. Going to be tough to beat us without Leivo

 

[TheBeastCoast]

It would be nice to see this team start to look like a team that can consistently put play together like a cup contender should. Just haven't seen it this year.

 

[Griffin76]

Cue Cherry on Coach's Corner tonight. "Take us back to last week when I said you don't run up the score like team Canada did" "it'll come back to bite ya" "not the Canadian thing to do" "see boys and girls out there, I know what I'm talking about and that right there is the only reason team Canada is gone"

 

[ULF_55]

A great opportunity for VAN/TOR to do the Tanev for Nylander swap.

You forgot the rest of the deal ...

Quinn Hughes and Michael DiPietro

 

[Griffin76]

I'll take that over hearing "the great reach of Chara!!" 56 times when we play the Bruins.....

Or "GREAT SAVE LUONGO"

 

[ULF_55]

Ready for some Hughson tears

My expectation is an out of this world performance from Markstrom.

 

[Stephen]

So does Leivo win it in the shootout and receive a teary standing ovation from the crowd?

Odds are slim to none, and slim just left town while he sits on IR and not even playing.

Vancouver Canucks

Josh Leivo

Even after a Matthews Hattrick?

I know you're joking, but how can you compare Josh Leivo to Mats Sundin?
