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

[TMLS]

Are fans starting to boo nylander?

I hope so, should have traded him as soon as he held out. He those types of players that will only try and show up for contract years.

 

[TheShape]

Sparks sucks but this game isn’t on him

 

[francis246]

Now that Freddy’s worth is demonstrated, what stops him from taking complete advantage of the situation and demanding a mutual contract termination and new deal for twice as much money? He can’t be happy watching all the deals signed when he knows he’s the only part of the team that matters.

You think our cap problem is bad now, imagine he grew a pair and demanded this. Blah blah contract blah blah CBA. Replace me then. That’s my response as Freddy. You’ll see teams start to cave when players catch up to the NBA mindset.

That would never happen because a MUTUAL contract termination requires BOTH sides to agree lol.

 

[Havoc]

Matthews gives it away. Sparks lets in a softy.

Nylander gets called out.

Typical.

 

[DarkKnight]

This isn't on Sparks at all. Also true, Sparks has stunk.

 

[Terrible GM]

that goal should never have gone in.
seriously, Sparks

Agreed. I didn't like the PP goal either. Yes it was deflected of Z, but Sparks is so wide open as he shifts over. He has a huge 5 hole open, and his arms are flailing around. Just too sloppy in the crease.

 

[saffronleaf]

They should.

good news for you -- they do.

 

[TMLeafer]

In case you didn't realize from Hughson's voice, Barzal is from BC

 

[Daisy Jane]

Hate to say this but we NEED Tanev and or Edler

lol no. we do not need glass man or edler.

 

[JerseyMike34]

I feel bad for all the Xmas gifts that were tickets to this game.

People spent TONS of their hard earned money on the secondary market to give their child or boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse a nice night out in Toronto, only to watch this group of millionaires come out flat, and not just flat but, got drunk and ate WAY too much McDonalds last night flat.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Glad to see people aren't overreacting to a possible first loss in 6 games

 

[Blufreezy]

Islanders don’t look great either. Sucks to let this one go. Leafs needs to show up

 

[Bigmarycombo]

Tavares and marner can’t carry this team every night

Matthews and nylander have to step up

 

[Duffman955]

Matthews gives it away. Sparks lets in a softy.

Nylander gets called out.

Typical.

Sorry I forgot to praise Nylanders 2 points in 39 games.

 

[saffronleaf]

Tavares really seems like a tier above Matthews. He has that consistency.

 

[ULF_55]

Are fans starting to boo nylander?

LOL

And they're cheering who, Barzal?

 

[ULF_55]

Hate to say this but we NEED Tanev and or Edler

You don't actually think 1 player would have made a difference in this game do you?

This is a team failure, and anyone calling out one player hasn't been watching or has an agenda.
