GDT: Leafs vs Kings II

[Seath The Scaleless]

Sure Kings dominated the cycle game, but i didn't count many quality chances. Mostly dinky point shots.

Didn't play too bad considering the two bad calls

 

[Liminality]

Some people can never give Hyman a compliment

 

[56 Years No Cup]

Time for the Matthews liner to show up. All of the other three lines are playing well now.

 

[Zybalto]

leafs only win cuz of Sparks!

Yer pre-game hot take may be coming true.

 

[ElbowLander]

Freidman needs to fire the guy that did his hair tonight

 

[Alerion]

Yeah, that's totally clean.

The Leafs looked very tired to me in the last five-six minutes of that period. Just gassed. It didn't help any, that they weren't doing a very good job at defensive zone exits, or just getting the puck out of the zone. Being hemmed in constantly was killing them.

 

[DarkKnight]

Lindholm looks a keeper.

 

[kk87]

Jeez... given the suspect officiating and inability to clear our zone that period we’re lucky to be up 2

Zone exits, the Leafs true enemy.

Wes Mcauley needs to **** off. He's the same moron who was responsible for that epic fail of officiating in game 5 last year int he playoffs. This guy has it in for the Leafs, i swear to god.

How he is still allowed to fix games is beyond me. NBA level game fixing.
I honestly saw his name at the beginning of the game and thought about just changing the channel.
To me, game management = game fixing and its absolutely disgusting.

Kept them to the outside and lots of traffic.

 

[Alerion]

They'll have heavy legs in the third, 6 games in 10 days is a brutal stretch. Finish strong guys.

 

[MJ65]

That was a pretty skillful play (by all three forwards)

 

[Jmo89]

Connor Brown is actually the main problem on that line. He should have been on the 4th line in camp but the coach loves him.

I've been pleasantly surprised by Lindholm. He looks like he could contribute decently with Kadri and an upgrade on Brown (*cough* Nylander *cough*).

 

[Leaffan1991]

I actually think this has been johnsson best game. Skating is faster and he’s hustling making good plays.

Also like how the goat has played so far this year. Has decent enough speed and a nice
Long reach.

 

[Morbo]

Officiating was a joke that period.

Kings are so slow they have to pick and interfere constantly to get any zone time.

 

[GrizzLeaf]

One period to go but I'm giving Sparks major props for keeping the Leafs in this up until now. He just has to stay focused and keep playing well for one more period.

 

[PromisedLand]

Johnsson has disgraced this team for the last time.

but clearly some posts here continue to disgrace the HFBoards; nope thats not it its actually the poster

 

[StannisFollower]

Brown and Hyman have been playing with a lot of effort tonight. Beautiful 3rd goal, too. Sparks playing good.

Man, this team is just fun to watch.

It's absolutely game fixing. it's no coincidence that every time he refs in a Leafs game this ridiculous shit happens every time. Why doesn't the league investigate this?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Bettman has money on the Kings.

Been that way since '93.

 

[supermann_98]

Dude, Kopitar is a tough matchup for any forward in the league to line up against, and Matthews is still getting his shot on net ... Only a matter of time before one of those laser shots go in

 

[Jmo89]

Yeah, that's totally clean.

This looks even worse when you watch the two "slashes" by Marner that were called.

Didn't Matthews 'liner' score the opening goal?
