GDT: Hurricanes vs Toronto: Return of the High Effort GDT

[Blueline Bomber]

Let it be known: Toronto/Carolina games are always…ALWAYS…a shitshow. Entertaining as hell, but a shitshow nonetheless.

Friendly reminder the Leafs lost to a 42 year old zamboni driver who works for the team

Sorry couldn't help but make a Steve Dangle reference tonight lol

Two of the best minutes I’ve spent today:

 

[The Faulker 27]

Holy shit tonight was a NCCC North Carolina Cardiac Classic.

Leaf fans might have a legitimate complaint about the refs. This is the first game in how long? where the Canes had more PP opportunities than their opponent? Clearly the refs were drunk tonight.

Last game we were on the Plus side

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Since last game

So we're on a hot streak

I find it amusing that there are some Leaf's fans on their board saying "Carolina is not built to win playoff hockey" after this game.

While their sentiment about physicality and toughness might have some merit, I just find it amusing that fans of a team that has won 1 playoff round in the last 10 years are somehow authorities on playoff success for a team that has won at least 1 round every year and made 2 ECF in the last 5 years

All they have is their salt.

Their salt just seasons our sauce

I mean they would know.

Isn’t that label given to high scoring teams that can’t defend well enough?

Canes have had the opposite problem.

Leafs lose when holding a 2-goal lead with less than 2:00 left in the 3rd period for the first time since December 18, 2007 against....the Hurricanes

My thoughts (in order) watching this video:

1. Oh look, multiple Grade A chances and the puck sitting in the crease and the Canes can’t bury it. Some things never change.
2. God, these uniforms were ugly. Whoever decided the piping on the shoulder was a good look should be shot.
3. Grahame is in net and playing well. This must be the “lost media” the Internet is always talking about.
4. Jeff Hamilton, not Dougie.
5. “Ponikarovsky has his pocket picked!” I’ve watched this game’s highlight before. Possibly multiple times, because that line in particular struck such a wave of nostalgia.

 

[Wolfpuck]

This has to be our dumbest win in…how many years?

 

[HydratedByStormBrew]

Imagine if we hadn’t allowed them to get 3 wide open goals… I think we pull through and win in OT. Guentzel with his first to win it.

Was this quoted already lol

 

[Svechhammer]

Thats an incredible deflection by Aho.

Nah the refs were drunk all night shit calls both ways. The one against Guentz in OT was just as trash and the one at the end of the 3rd.

Orlov was tripped but in all honesty should have gotten an embellishment for his swan dive after the trip.

Its was like that the whole game

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Steve Dangle blames the loss on the Wave with 5 minutes left. Which…fair.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Had a work thing in humid Houston, sounds like I missed another fun adventure in Canes land. Two more points in the bank.

 

[WreckingCrew]

I am now accepting thank you tips because it was shortly after I swung by and posted down 3-0 that the team began mounting their arduous comeback. You're welcome!!

 

[Stickpucker]

Leaves whenever they have to play Canes

 

[MyLuckyPuck]

Watershed win. Canes go all the way.
