GDT: GDT: Leafs vs Wild: October 15th | 7:00pm | SNET-O | Part 2

[SprDaVE]

And I thought the Leafs had no business winning a couple previous games. Good thing the Wild's backup goaltender started and gave the Leafs a couple weak ones.

Only one of them was weak. So we are still up by a goal.

Considering we have seen some of the worst goaltending seen by NHL fans in the last decade or so, I don't have any sympathy for teams dominating but getting beat by a hot goaltender.

I really don't.

Look back at how many times Ryan Miller stole games for the Sabres against us, or when Lundqvist completely stole a few Rangers games.

Sniff sniff.

Still got a period to go though. We'll see if we can hold the fort.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I really hope fellow Leaf fans don't apologize to the other teams' fans and say that the Leafs don't deserve to be winning the game.

Sorry, you guys deserve to win.


Meanwhile later:

Quoted for emphasis.

Anyone else want to be a ref that's a duck for Halloween?

I was going to be a Mennonite, but I may have changed my mind.

 

[realgoodleafs]

Normally I agree with you, there are circumstances when the puck luck-factor is just so strong that you can't disregard it.

Nope, Minny has just had a lot of PP time. The play isn't as lopsided as the shots suggest.

I'd rather be lucky than good, anyday

 

[keonsbitterness]

I can just imagine what the reaction of some people on this board will be if we ever win the Cup:

"Do you believe it? We won the Cup!"

"Yeah, but our defence was terrible!!"

 

[TMLife*]

its like you guys just listen to the "experts" and dont form your own opinions

he's totally going to make me cry!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Oh no, they switched their goalie!

 

[Hurt]

I was going to be a Mennonite, but I may have changed my mind.

You can't just dress up regularly for Halloween.

Haha Kuemper on the verge of tears. Get it together.

 

[Mr Scarface*]

Kuemper will never, every play against the maple leafs of toronto again

Kuemper still is over 50%.

 

[Fabs]

So, is the goal of hockey to play better than the other team or to score more goals than the other team?

If the Leafs scored more, they deserved to win. Period.

I'd prefer they score more and do it while playing better. This weak defensive play, losing most the battles along the boards, constant giveaways needs to get taken care of. I'll take the wins and be happy for it, but it's going to start losing the team games eventually.

"Do you believe it? We won the Cup!"

"Yeah, but our defence was terrible!!"

and I laugh because it's totally true.

 

[TMLeafer]

Leivo off the bar!

 

[PoisonMushroom]

Leivo hits the post! Nice try!

 

[Pi]

There are a lot of teams that could be in the running for Reimer/Bernier (mostly Reimer though).

Winnipeg
Minnesota...Backstrom is old, Harding is a back up.
Edmonton...every goalie sucks there, wouldn't trade Reimer there if I was GM. Respect him too much to do that.
NYI..Nabokov is old, they need a young goalie.
Philly
Calgary

 

[Vexed]

So close!

 

[Pinto]

Close Leivo!

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Jesus Leivo , those hands

 

[bunjay]

Yes, yes it is. If anything it's more lopsided. The Leafs are being utterly dominated at even strength.

 

[Schenn]

Post! Damn!

 

[Goonface2k14]

The old McLievomenter

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Great chance for Leivo. Would have been nice if he got that.

 

[Nithoniniel]

what's viaplay? is it a part of centre ice or something?

Viasat is a scandinavian broadcaster and Viaplay is their online service. It uses Gamecenter Live, but for some reason doesn't go to the "Game will return after commercials" screen as it should.
