GDT: Maple Leafs at Flames Oct. 30 on TSN

[MarkGio]

I hate when the refs call this crap when they've been letting the game and gain energy before hand. Its so inconsistent

 

[MarkGio]

Crappy

 

[Lunatik]

It' always Lupus

 

[TheHudlinator]

Butler with a solid save but might want to work on rebound control if he is trying out for the #1 spot.

 

[Calculon]

Colbourne should have had Lupul's stick there. Benching Backland was a stupid decision.

 

[MarkGio]

We had the momentum until that PK

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Longest two minutes ever.

 

[Taranis]

So much for playing well early

 

[St Wardo]

at least we kept our 28th ranked pk in tact

 

[TheHudlinator]

Colbourne should have had Lupul's stick there. Benching Backland was a stupid decision.

Agreed, Jackman doesn't really bring a lot and Backlund was great defensively.

 

[MarkGio]

Are the dumb refs gonna call these dirty leaf plays?

 

[St Wardo]

any word on why backlund is scratched?

 

[TheHudlinator]

any word on why backlund is scratched?

I only thing I can guess is Hartley wants to try and wake him up offensively like he did with Sven.

 

[MarkGio]

Agreed, Jackman doesn't really bring a lot and Backlund was great defensively.

And you know Jackman isn't gonna fight. He might make a few big hits, but Backs will shut things down

 

[Taranis]

Thought Backlund was our number 2 centre?

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

any word on why backlund is scratched?

Because Tim Jackman is amazing and super important.

 

[MarkGio]

I only thing I can guess is Hartley wants to try and wake him up offensively like he did with Sven.

This is probably the case

 

[TheHudlinator]

Thought Backlund was our number 2 centre?

Colborne took his line 2 games ago and Backlund has been on the 4th line since.

 

[Nordberg]

We should start handling the puck instead of feebly reaching for it.

 

[Haatley]

Did anyonen else feel like kadri intefered with ramon the goal or are my homer glasses on too tight?

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Glasses are too tight.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Agreed, Jackman doesn't really bring a lot and Backlund was great defensively.

Agreed. Benching him doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

 

[St Wardo]

Because Tim Jackman is amazing and super important.

granted just figured they'd scratch that bust kid monahan instead

 

[MarkGio]

Off the dinger!

 

[MarkGio]

Bout damn time they called something. It started looking like the refs were sitting on a leaf lap
