The Leafs did it themselves back in 1946.I bet no team in NHL history has played in two games with no penalties called in the same week. Fewest penalties for and against in the whole league now.
i laughed when the poster you quoted said this. "Kind of a silly post based on 1 game. I mean look at Sparks in the Chicago game." like whaaaa? he didnt even thrown in an extra sentence before contradicting himself lol.Of course it's a silly post. So are the silly posts, when we lose with him in the net. They are quick hot takes, not based on a body of work.
But, he's now 4-1 with a 0.924 percentage. Hopefully he keeps this up, and the Henny Penny people, can disappear, and not care about Pickard or McBackup..... I think they've made the right decision, not just for this year, but long-term too.
Surprised they didn't pull him tonight.
Have to admit, it’s pretty Goat to go pointless when your linemate pots a hatty.
Well, you're clearly missing out. Lots of high scoring games this year. 8-4 tonight. 5-4 6-0 also tonight as well.With NHL regular season hockey?
Rarely anymore.
Your right. His posting history suggest that to be the case, either that or it's his mom. Good game Jake!Would anyone else not be surprised if Gardiner's name bar on his sweater read mulefarm next game?
Back when I lived in Pittsburgh, I would go to the Lemeiux Sports complex in South Side and watch the Pens practice. Once they moved to Cranberry, I wouldn’t go as much. Funny enough, I’m a die hard flyers fan, but I love the game, so that type of stuff (rivalry) is just an editorialization to the game for me.
To get on point, Kapanen was an intriguing prospect that I would go watch. Early on, he seemed to have skill, but not nearly the IQ to be serviceable in the NHL. I remember a drill where he skates up the ice with Crosby and Kunitz... Kapanen had to beat Bortuzzo to the Right Side corner and bring the puck back up to the outside of the HDO box. He had soooo much trouble in space. He could beat Bortuzzo with his skating, but that was it. He would constantly lose the puck. He was only effective riding the boards down the ice.
BOY HAS THAT KID CHANGED SINCE I LAST SAW HIM. Somehow his skating got even better. Before, he would never venture to the front of the net. He would sit back behind the A opportunity chances and wait to feed the puck to a low danger area then bail to the boards. It takes serious confidence to do that twirl around shot where he rung it off the post and almost beat Stolarz. Not only that, he’s now engaging in stick battles in open ice. Before he would try to push the perimeter.
He’s finally turning into a weapon. Although the outcome of the game wasn’t favorable for us lol, Kapanen was seriously fun to watch and appreciate. That’s really what hockey is about. Good looks for that kid.
What a fine combination of ageism, holier than thou, and false assumptions jam packed into one post.
First bit whatever. Your PM still sits in my in box if you want to talk character.
In terms of the issue... it’s a big one. Big guys, small rink. Big equipment, blocked shots. Gimmick point, play to not lose. Tactics, all the same. Cycle, cycle cycle.
It was great to see 6 goals last night. A function of a bad goaltending night from the land of goaltending failure.
In terms of emotion, meh.

depends.
everyone ****s on gardiner. i've always been a huge fan, though I know he's not perfect. but gardiner when he's playing well is as good as any defender in the NHL. but he does have his flaws.
but i think gardiner may stay with the leafs. he might be the guy to take a team discount. i think he could sign a $5.5 x 5 years contract with the leafs after this year. I think he would turn down $7mil x 6 years to take the lesser contact to stay with the leafs.
i picked this avatar cause gardener was my favourite leaf when i joined hf boards. still a huge fan. beat mode gardiner is what we need to win the cup. he really does control the game when he is on his game. he can play 30min a game and dominate. he's the guy i trust to play 40 minute in those double and triple OT games.
I would like to see gardiner play with a guy like Hainsey. He needs a defensively sound partner to allow him take his chances.
Given the headline I'm assuming that''s a Ken Campbell article? Is there anything he likes?
Academics have been talking about this for years.
If anyone is personally offended by me flipping the channel to watch NCAA Football and Fail Army... or thinking that Drake is the Justin Beiber of Hip Hop... you need to rethink your life.
This game honestly could've been 10-0 or more. Stolarz actually made a lot of great saves. Just pure domination by the Leafs
Lets do it again in the playoffs!16-8.
We win twice as much as we lose.
You can tell some people enjoy the Leafs more when they lose. Guess that comes after being so used to losing over the years? Almost like it's their comfort zone, I really don't know.How can people not enjoy last nights game? Attention spend is very short! The first two periods were great the last period is what happens when you’re up by so much. This isn’t new either, not running up the score has been in hockey for ever. It’s like people watching gladiators fight isn’t enough so they bring in lions lol
