GDT: Preseason Game #1 - Sens @ Leafs Pt II - Now with more hot takes!

[ThrowDemTongs]

wtf how is this even fair like lmao we're blatantly allowed to cheat and have this team like get outta here lmao wtf

 

[Maplebeasts]

Hats off to Mcbackup and Sparks tonight. Both have been excellent.

 

[DanM]

He's an AHL grinder. He is one of those guys who plays hard and does things right, but has no skill. I don't see him ever being an NHL player.

So basically a Babcock favourite lol

 

[Anthrax442]

This kraft bears have dead eyes

I'm sure the actors inside are dead on the inside for a long time.

 

[AppsSyl]

Oz can pass shoot, doesn't get rattled under pressure, makes good decisions with the puck, looks like he can take Carrick spot.

People are forgetting that it is his 1st game on smaller NA ice too.
He has looked good.

 

[zeke]

hyman works on the Tavares line if he can do his job properly

if you mean "ice the puck twice and then interfere with the goalie" is doing his job properly.

 

[FlareKnight]

Wow Formenton...really isn’t that fast.

 

[DangerDave]

As a habs fan, I am really not looking forward to facing the leafs haha. That Tavares-Marner combo is way too good. JT is finally on a good team watch him finish top 3 in points.

 

[PromisedLand]

Hyman isn’t smart enough to play with these guys

This!

Quoted for truth

 

[Antropovsky]

I like Sparks style, more of a hybrid, reminds me a bit of Brodeur style. It's refreshing ... his rebound control has looked good thus far too.

 

[cannucky]

Atta boy John see you pass the puck and good things happen buddy LOL . Looks like Borgman is getting an extra half shift with Reilly and they are short shifting Hainsey .

 

[francis246]

a line of Hyman -- Tavares -- Marner is ridiculous with down low grindability and skill.

the good thing about Hyman is he is a puck hound, so he just needs to do exactly what he did with Matthews and Nylander. Get the puck and give it to Tavares and Marner and let them do their thing. I feel bad for other teams this year. If they put their best d out against this line, Matthews and Kadri will burn them

 

[Magic Man]

Kadri's dad is wearing a pink shirt. Dope.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Borgman. Better

Agreed.

Rielly Zaitsev
Dermott _____
Borgman Ozhiganov
Rosen Hainsey
Marincin Holl
Sandin Liljegren

Carrick + Gardiner for a top 4 RD

 

[Kamiccolo]

oh dear...how the **** are we gonna afford marner?

Basically force him to sit out until near December so we can fit him under the cap lol. Hoping the rumors are true and Dubas announces all three within the next few weeks.

 

[Walshy7]

Marners shot has gotten so much better since he came into the league.

I think marner has always had a good shot the problem he had was consistently getting off his best shot, like say 1/5 shots were elite and the rest would be good but not quite good enough to beat nhl goalies. If he can get that consistency 30 goals will be a breeze if they are the level of that shot

 

[kindalaidback]

It’s so nice hearing the commentators praise our team. Remember when we were bad? No? Me neither.

 

[DarkKnight]

Thing about Borgman, he showed last year he has an NHL game. Went down, got lost in the mix but I was really impressed and I think he’s going to make a push.

 

[Ratboy]

I'm sure the actors inside are dead on the inside for a long time.

I loled

 

[Muston Atthews]

“It’s good to have John Tavares here”

- Sam Kadri

Truer words have never been spoken

Marner and Matthews would be STUPID to sign this year.

 

[smitty10]

So basically a Babcock favourite lol

Oh god... I hope not.

This guy has barely cracked the AHL at 26. He'd better not make our team given where we project to finish in the standing this year. We need to compete for the Cup and in order to do so we need skilled players in every role.

Another gem from tonight:

"We have a team"
