GDT: Rangers @ Leafs | PART 2

[htpwn]

Everyone couldn't wait to get rid of Grabner last year

Now it's all "why didn't we re-sign him!?!?"

I was one of the few who wanted to resign him.

And yet, I can't say I'm stressing about him doing what he's doing... except when its against us.

Speak for yourself bromie.

Small blip in the grand scheme of things however

 

[Daisy Jane]

Agreed. But looking like a silly dump

a bad call for many more good ones. Can't win them all

no it's not.

We don't need a Grabner. We need to see what we have.

 

[Plural]

Grabner wasn't all that good last year and you guys know it. I'm happy he's doing well, but nobody saw this coming. Just be happy for your success and let Grabner have his.

He didn't fit in toronto. Many don' t. Toskala, Kessel. Etc. They are not real winners if they can't win in toronto.

 

[thewave]

Don't read into crap like that. He played about as well as anyone else on the team tonight.

He played JVR level and I didn't even see JVR. I just saw him standing alllll the time and usually he is so much better than that. I agree the team kinda sucked as a whole and am not going scream trade or anything dumb. I just thought it was weird

Now it's all "why didn't we re-sign him!?!?"

It's good that we got rid of him. We actually signed him BECAUSE he was due to score big-time due to his previous unlucky on-ice sh%. It's like Kadri last season vs this season in his on-ice sh%. But unfortunately Grabner's on ice-sh% was still low, but now this season it's crazy unsustainably high.

 

[The Examiner]

Nylander does not seem himself that much is for sure. My initial thought was the BS TSN crap that broke. I just, I don't know he seems confused like he is broken tonight. It's strange and I watch him closely and have never seen him this rattled.

The first goal, it was his man that scored and you could see Kadri wasn't happy about it when talking to him on the bench. He came out with a strong shift after the but then seemed lost.

 

[biotk]

i agree with those 3 but i'll give Andersen a pass as well. 0 help tonight and the only reason they didnt score 5 goals in the 1st period

You are completely correct. I think Andersen did as well as he could have considering the dumpster fire in front of him. For some reason I was only thinking of the skaters and forgot about him.

 

[Plural]

Our power play is like 10 of it's last 21 attempts, they didn't have a good game it happens.

Yeah, it happens. I don't want to sound too morbid, just a bad game.

 

[yubbers]

How did Babcock let him walk? He's not the GM, and this is the same Grabner that no one wanted at the deadline, and everyone wanted him gone last year right ?

If you think babs has a big if not the most say in the matter.....

Give your head a shake

Who cares. No one was talking about him last game.

 

[Raym11]

These losses are OK this year in my book. We lost because we played like ****. Not because our team is ****. Nothing to be angry about our team has shown much better than this and these games happen.

 

[NarcoPolo]

Hyman was a beauty tonight

He was fine. People are so dramatic here over every little thing.

 

[Steven1562]

We should be thanking Grabner if he had this type of year last year he would have derailed the tank. Because of Grabner sucking we have Matthews.

 

[FlareKnight]

Now it's all "why didn't we re-sign him!?!?"

Yeah, they should just look back at the previous year. He was in 80 games and scored 9 goals. Why the heck would he be brought back?

Guys have bounce back or downright abnormal seasons. Grabner hasn't scored this many goals in a year since the 11-12 season. Good for him, but it's just an aberration.

Agree it definitely wasn't worth giving him a roster spot on the hope that he'd have a randomly successful season.

 

[thewave]

Yeah! You saw that too right, anyways they'll bounce back next one.

The TSN crap from like a month and a half ago?

In response to a post saying "Grabner is so bad" you replied;

we need to invent a new word to correctly articulate just how bad he is.

He deserves it

 

[yubbers]

no it's not.

We don't need a Grabner. We need to see what we have.

Smith....

Great

 

[Suntouchable13]

For sure, I am thankful. Glad the Leafs told him to take a hike, though. He is just another player to me.

 

[93LEAFS]

Worst performance in a month or so. The PP was awful and the team was extra sloppy. Can't even put this on the defence, a bunch of our key forwards were either indifferent or flat out bad tonight.

 

[yubbers]

In response to a post saying "Grabner is so bad" you replied;

Huh?

Not to mention if we still did have him these same people would be complaining about him stealing ice time from a prospect and we wind up seeing #freewhatevermarlieisdoingwell all season.
