GDT: Game #58 | Maple Leafs vs. Penguins |

[Scandale du Jour]

Retrieve the puck, find the safest option, dump it in.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Shades of game 6 against the Sharks. That 3rd period was a masterclass.

I don't see it that way at all, if anything I think if we ever get that healthy where we get all the forwards except Jake (obviously), I think this team might actually rotate a few guys in and out of the line-up and I get that.

But the longer ZAR is out and the more Sully sees how that bottom 6 looks better without him, the better.

I hope you and @Ogrezilla are right and I'm wrong, I'd definitely be happy with that. I just don't see Sully not going back to BART no matter how good the bottom 6 looks, he literally wouldn't break that line up when we were ravaged by injuries. And if it comes down to Kahun vs Simon, I see Kahun getting the short end unfortunately. Again this assumes we ever get healthy, which is a whole other story.

ok Pierre mentioning Sidney Crosby’s nickname in junior? Dudes gotta be trolling us.

Matthews is going to take Tanev to his favorite speakeasy when they play in Toronto.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Love this killer instinct.

 

[Ogrezilla]

I love Zucker

Yeah, I've seen him scroll through HFBoards on his phone.

The whole team is playing passive to protect a lead. Meanwhile, Hornqvist barrels into the zone and crashes the net. I don’t think he can play any other way.

Can we trade Pierre for Tony Romo?

If we got all the guys back except Jake, of course, it becomes a matter of who plays best in what spot and that might make Kahun's case a little better considering he's been fantastic at RW and LW, but yeah, it'll come down to who fits in what role.

When guys are out though, you get a chance to see who looks good right now and Sully is a creature of habit, if he sees how good his team is with Kahun in a spot that his boy ZAR was in, he will go with that, but he also abandons all logic (Ruhwedel at LD, the entire existence of ZAR's NHL Career thus far) so we will see.

Gauthier is like a really really REALLY poor mans Jordan Staal. I can imagine Errey saying power move every time he has the puck.

Holy shit Toronto is done. They wanted this game to be over 15 minutes ago.

wave after pesty wave

think the game Thursday will be completely different...we have to play better at ES because we can’t count on the refs giving us enough PPs...

Horny has only 1 mode - Hard & Fast.

 

[BHD]

Every player where they should be

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Justin Schultz just needs to be gone.
