GDT: HFBoards GDT | 2/10/21 - Well there's two games.... at the moment.

[RogerR]

So yeah Babcock scratched Justin Holl for 2 years when Leafs desperately needed a big, strong defensive DMan who was a RH shot..

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

GG habs.Pretty even game. You guys had a bit more chances and Anderson is a monster.

 

[CatchyTune]

Matthews probably doesn't care about that.

yep. Winning > goal streak

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

Nice to get the win over the Habs in regulation this time.

 

[Critical13]

Montreal looks different than 5 games ago. The swagger isn't there in spades any more. No idea why they are icing Corey Perry.

 

[Mickey Marner]

It's dumb that Montreal plays Edmonton in between Leafs games, lessens the intensity. Saturday will still be crazy though.

 

[DearDiary]

Start the thread. You know you want to.

Give me some ideas of a good bait title

Matthews Vs McDavid part 2 Matthews strikes back

 

[OVO16]

Canada's team wins. Love to see it

 

[SoftDumpNtheCorner88]

Because of an empty net assist?

No, because he's riding an 11 game point streak. They've only played like 14 games. He's gotta be in that conversation.

 

[Skolman]

Canada's team wins. Love to see it

The attention seeking is strong with this one.

 

[Kelly]

Pretty sure Hyman has by far the most empty net goals for Leafs the last few years.

Since 16/17
Hyman is at 11
Marner is at 8

Interestingly enough Sebastian Aho is 1st with 16, 3 more than 2nd place.

Uh, what? You've already made that claim in the past.

Easy now....like slow down.

 

[Knies iT]

That's the "big bad Habs"? Funny. Leafs pull it off without Robertson, Simmonds and Thornton.

Holl is a shutdown horse.

Matthews goal streak comes to an end

2-11-1

These new divisions are WEIRD. Although I don't think MTL/TOR will mind a year with no Bruins

 

[Captain Bowie]

I don't care for CSI hockey, would rather be entertained and wrong than bored and right.

That's a weird perspective. The entire purpose of sport is fair competition. If you sacrifice that in favor of entertainment, it's no longer sport. It's WWE.

You want to be entertained, turn on Netflix.

 

[Bedards Dad]

It's the only sample size of the Leafs playing like a top team though.

Adding Pacific teams to the Atlantic watered it down a lot. They are not Tampa good, they are the level below.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

I will take the win but not overly happy with the habits the Leafs are developing. They are slacking off and getting lucky goal spurts.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Yeah but, how many 5v5 points did Tavares have tonight?

Leafs fans: "DGAF"

Also, Price is scary good even though the Leafs won eventually. I'm not sure that guy is actually overpaid.

The guy is bottom third of the entire league in save % going on 4 years now. For the life of me I don't get the love this guy gets. Yes he had a solid 10 game stretch in the bubble but it's 4 years now he's been bottom third.

 

[CupInSIX]

The Maple Leafs are here to burn down your village?

 

[Deadly Dogma]

its 2-10-21

 

[Pyrophorus]

Because of an empty net assist?

Another team, and it doesn't matter.

Matthews goal streak comes to an end

Leafs won!

 

[Petrus]

Matthews goal streak comes to an end

Torched extinguished!

 

[RogerR]

When you study all teams cap hits and look at results you start to realize the 4 players for 40 million isn't the big deal it was made out to be.
Leafs can move anyone and look great.
