GDT: Islanders @ Leafs | Dec 29, 7PM | CBC | Tavares Faces His Former Team (Read mod notes in post #1)

[Amadeus]

Islanders really taking away the neutral zone and zone entries.

 

[MJ65]

Good job Sparks, wow what a joke

Is he really a NHL Goalie?

 

[Markerr09]

What kind of s**t defense is this...

 

[frizzer1]

And the upper half.

You left out both sides.

 

[TOGuy14]

Can we please put an end to this Sparks experiment?

During the pre-game they were talking about how he has 13/16 possible points or something but that is entirely disingenuous. Basically need to score 5-6 goals to get this guy a win every night.

 

[Canadian Finn]

This is where Matthews has to be the man.

I have a feeling these are going to be the games that will be reminded to him when he asks for 11+M and gets offered $10M.

 

[saffronleaf]

Matthews looks like sh it tonight. Has for a while actually. Not creating anything at all.

I'm guessing he's injured or simply apathetic and disinterested. He has been ass or glass for a while.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Team needs to wake up. They have the talent to win it all but can not mail it in like this if they want to get there. Embarrassing.

 

[Loosie]

My.Word.That.Was.Brutal.

Sparks is not a good goalie. There is no arguing.

Game. Set. Match.

Enroth wasn’t even this bad.

Enroth was worse.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

I hooked up my budlight glass tonight from the gf for the first time...

 

[leburn98]

If I am not mistaken, Babs said the boys would play hard for johnny. He sure knows his players

If Johnny could get a save from ole Sparky boy, maybe the game would be different.

 

[DarkKnight]

In Freddie's groin we trust.

 

[Havoc]

Leafs can come back from a 3-0 deficit.

But not when we have Sparks in net letting his usual crap in.

 

[member 147413]

Can we boycott Hughson and Simpson? I think HFLeafs could send a message if we all send complaints.

 

[Duffman955]

Looks like Trotz contravercial motivational speech had an impact.

 

[SwaggySpungo]

Douche behind the Leafs bench has been on his cellphone the entire game. Not that I blame him all that much with this game, but what a huge waste of money (assuming he paid).

 

[Wendelstache]

can't believe that senile old man don cherry was right when he said freddy is the MVP.

 

[Notsince67]

Tough to defend Sparks on that one but the team is playing terrible;

If you dont trust your goalie, it affects your game

 

[BTP]

cant win em all, due for a loss.

worst we've played all season so far.

 

[saffronleaf]

If he needs two months, he shouldn’t be a pro athlete

Everyone else is in mid season form. It is what it is.

 

[Bluelines]

Sucks! Sucks! Sucks!

WTF is Sparks doing in the NHL?

 

[TMLS]

Sparks is garbage. Bernier 2.0 I can’t see him ever playing well consistently. Maybe he plays great then he plays like this. Not a goalie you can win with. Hopefully we can do .500 without Andersen.

Bernier is 10x the goalie Sparks is.

 

[DarkKnight]

I have a feeling these are going to be the games that will be reminded to him when he asks for 11+M and gets offered $10M.

These are the games I look to see him lead. Not there yet.

 

[mcleex]

I'd much rather have Reimer right now, that's how bad Sparks is

 

[Mitchy]

What an embarrassing effort.

 

[Griffin76]

Another GDT crapping on the Nylander and the Colander.

 

[FlareKnight]

Everyone has been shit tonight. You'd think the team would want to play a strong game for Tavares. Apparently not. Matthews isn't getting it done, Marner isn't, Tavares has tried but not getting results and Nylander has been MIA even after he finally graced this team with his presence.

A bad night and the goalie sucks. Only comfort for the fans in the stands is their popcorn .
