GDT: Leafs @ another Leafs home game in Buffalo

[rojac]

Is there anything cheesier than rogers hometown hockey?

My least favorite hockey broadcast. However, it could be worse. It could have Jeff O'Neill on it.

We need the boys to score 4 because Eichel is going to get 3 points as usual tonight

Beating us is always such a great motivator for other teams. f*** em!

The issue with Andersen hasn't been those goals in isolation. No goalie should be expected to stop everything, and that's especially true with high danger chances.

I agree, however I was responding to a post specifically referencing the "first shots" in the Dallas game. So in this case, we are speaking about those goals in isolation.

 

[Nylander88]

Wow. Korshkov and Marchment look to be in. That's gonna be a BIG bottom 6. Absolutely pumped for the game

 

[Kiwi]

Late to the party, but does tonight's result determine who starts in net on Tuesday?

It's going to have to get a lot worse than this for them to give up on Andersen as there starter imo

If he continues to struggle they will probably pull back on the amount of times he starts down the stretch but I'd imagine they want to give him every opportunity to sort himself out beforehand

Sportsnet sux! Especially Hughson and Tara Sloan
No Way, O-Dog is the best

O'Neill takes way too much pride in his ignorance. And Duffy playing into it just makes it worse.

Sorry if I've missed anything, but any lines released? Korshkov or Marchy getting in?

Playing on the 4th line with Speeza in between them.

 

[TMLeafer]

Man I wish I'd realized earlier that this game was in Buffalo on a long weekend. Would have loved to make a trip of it.

 

[Nylander88]

Great to have a guy like Spezza for that. He'll be great for talking to them and explaining things. Wanted to see Clifford and Marchy together. Might before the night is out if Korshkov and Cliffy switch I guess

 

[Nylander88]

Avg height in the bottom 6 tonight is like 6'4" haha wild. Can't even think of the last time we had a bottom 6 that big for a game. Be an interesting experiment. People still think Dubas hates grit?

Don't think I've watched a single minute of the non-hockey portion of the broadcast this year. Such a snooze fest

 

[Burnie97]

Which we know now... is happening

 

[Nylander88]

Absolutely massive bottom 6. Hope the experiment goes well. Are the Bruins watching this game or something? Wonder why the big change up lol

 

[Leafs87]

Let’s go boys !

 

[Macallan18]

HNIC!!!
Go Leafs Go!!
OMG Marchment AND Korshkov??
What, is this Christmas?

 

[DarkKnight]

You’re being kind of nasty with posters today. Someone put something in your corn flakes this morning?

Why would you think I’m talking about his AHL stint? You give me pure sarcasm and expect roses. Lol.

His last NHL stint was painful.

 

[OVO16]

OH my oh my oh my.

I know MArchmant probably wont stick for the long haul.....but that bottom 6 is the toughest bottom 6 we've had in a long long time.

Here's hoping for some brawls and scrums tonight

Decent backup goalie, some sandpaper in the line up. Perhaps Dubas realizes there were some significant weaknesses to his earlier approach.

 

[Macallan18]

I always wanted the Leafs to draft Tyler Benson instead of Korshkov, interesting that they are both hitting the NHL at the same time. Of course, DeBrincat was the cat to take ...

Certainly is a different look.

 

[Nylander88]

Have a feeling there's gonna be a fight tonight

 

[Burnie97]

Lol who knows... but with some of the young guys coming in with size and skill, and the young core having a solid year... if we can get a freaking rightie d finally at the deadline and our other d man get healthy... Leafs could be a team that does more than some may expect.

Of course their play the next 20 games or so... could go a long way in showing what they're made of come playoff hockey time.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Lets go boys

 

[as Pure as Evil]

i just want to see some big hits from the bottom six
