Pre-Game Talk: Leafs @ Oilers: Game 3 of 3

[AddyTheWrath]

lol.

this on the same day where Stutzle was cross-checked face first into the boards and the Sens didn’t even get a man advantage.

 

[Cloned]

lol.

this on the same day where Stutzle was cross-checked face first into the boards and the Sens didn’t even get a powerplay.

The League still hates the Oilers, I swear.

This happens numerous every game during play, and it's never called. Guess it's only bad when it's not during play.

 

[ujju2]

You mean other than him being two timed into the boards by the flames on a hit head shot? He didn't play the rest of that game. That was a bit over a week ago.

Yes, I remember that. Dirty flames as usual. But he came back the next game and I haven't noticed any differences in his play, and he's also not been held out of any practices so I assume he's alright?

Fixed.

This is our NHL, get used to it, its not ever changing. Dumbest pro sports league in North America. Just watch the stars get mangled by nobodies. What bad could possibly occur...?

 

[ujju2]

I would cry if GMKH made a smart move like this

I would really, really hope that Holland and Tippett have a better relationship than Billy Beane and his manager in Moneyball. As in I would hope that Holland would be able to convince Tippett to play Bouchard for the long-term benefit of the club without having to trade Barrie.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

In my defense, I would have told the DoP(e)S he kept asking me "What does your stick say?", so I showed him.

 

[gtforepro]

Looks like it before both went off to the dressing room

Thanks. Hope Dermott doesn't get hurt...

 

[ujju2]

As long as no one is fighting Bog, he’s a tough sob

Nurse could take him but that's a bad trade for us. With Chiasson suspended this would be a good time for Kassian to be healthy.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

For reference, this is Andersson's hit on Stutzle, which I think is far more dangerous.

 

[Drivesaitl]

I passed by an old guy in Superstore today who was wearing a Leafs jacket. I told him he can't wear that after beating the Oil....he laughed.

Just ask him for a friend if the Leafs ever won the cup in the last 50yrs. That gets them going.

after the game such a boneheaded move does nothing to advance the cause

Ratmus 2 hand crosschecks star player head first into the boards..

NHL: Lets call even up penalties, because Calgary Flames

Yea the inconsistency is maddening. Obviously I'm biased so I think the Oilers get screwed more often than not, but regardless it should be an even playing field for all teams, not wishy washy subjective bs.

Define alright. your boy takes a lot of punishment and never shies from it. So kudos to him. But the physics of it is taking a toll. All our topsix are banged up except RNH. Go figure.

Holy f*** that was dirty. Infinitely worse than whatever Chiasson did. I feel I say this 50 times a season but NHL and DOPS is an absolute JOKE.

Breaking up the boys just as they are starting to have fun.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Great to see DRY back together. I don't expect them to go super nova again, but this team need a reliable scoring unit at evens, they're it's best bet.

I'm curious to see Neal with McPizza(™). Considering how much those two dominant puck possession, a silent assassin type, who excels down low and infront of the net, makes a lot of sense. Though you do lose the defensive presence and the line's usual high support man in RNH.

Tbt I'd still somewhat prefer to see Ennis or even Turris there instead. McPizza just needs someone that does the little things right. RNH can, but it's a role more in the paygrade of the other two.


I still think the best lineup this team can toss out is... (When healthy and not suspended...)

DRY
Turris-McDavid-Puljujarvi
Ennis-Khaira/Haas-Archibald
Neal-Khaira/Haas-Kassian(Chiasson)

Maybe rotate Turris with Kassian, Chiasson, or Neal; but the core of this lineup up DRY, McPizza, Neal/Kassian as a grinding duo, and Ennis/Archi as a speedy checking line.

None of these p******s have the ballz Kass does

Gudbranson could have grabbed him and started whaling. Nahh. Let's just shove him hard and get into a girly NBA tussle lol

Basically what 99% of the NHL does. They shove each other like a bunch of pansies with nothing coming out of it.

 

[Brown Cat]

I'm gonna be so upset of DRY ends up working and Tippsy waited this long to put them back.

Breaking up the boys just as they are starting to have fun.

They’ve been singing the blues the past few games. Time to break up the band and play some jazz or boogie woogie tomorrow.

Anderson is such a puke. I hope he get his.

Kahun seems to be okay. The constant perimeter play is saving him.
