GDT: Sat, 25 Oct 2014: Bruins @ Maple Leafs 7:00 PM CBC

[4evaBlue]

We're tied with Bruins in shots. WTF!

Should be interesting to see them possession numbers for this game.

 

[Semantics]

All bozak does is put up points

That's what, 4 of his 8 points this year that have come at the end of blowouts? Nice of him to show up finally.

 

[hotpaws]

It actually is a big problem. Having intimidation and muscle sitting on the bench, playing 3 minutes a game, is far better than having our current USELESS-AT-EVERYTHING line sitting on the bench playing 3 minutes. This is still a man's game, as you can tell by who is dominating tonight, regardless if many of you hate exciting physical hard play.

3 mins a night from goon enforcers who can't keep up with the play is exciting physical hockey

the games lost so you just want to see a fight because well umm eh , just because

 

[theTTC]

yeah, thats our M.O., just like at the end of March 2015 when they'll excite the faithful with a four game winning streak that takes us from drafting 3rd overall to drafting 10th overall and still missing the playoffs.

Book it, Dano.

 

[p.l.f.]

Maybe they just need to switch to the white jerseys full time

 

[Mitchy]

Kadri's has inexplicably had a ton of detractors since the day he was drafted. I'm gonna say there's an ulterior motive at play in a segment of the fan base, sadly.

Unfortunately, I think the same. It's sad that this still happens in this day and age and in a place like Toronto.

 

[Al14]

55 min to late?

Too late indeed! As I said in the PGT, the Leafs always come out flat, and play only about 10 minutes of a 60 minute game!

I'm. Sick. Of. This. Team. And, especially, it's CORE players!

 

[Sniper99]

I'm expecting the usual response from any of the Leafs after the game.

"It was an emotional night from the get go with the emotional ceremony, we just came out flat and couldnt get our legs going." "They did and hats off to them"

 

[hockeyes]

Game out of reach? Better try to pad our stats.

 

[CalgaryLeaf*]

So tired of seeing this team start to come back way too late in games.

Play hard at the START, not when you're down 3 goals!

Perhaps Boston eased up a bit leading 4-0?

 

[LeafsMonster]

I love when this team only shows up the last 5 minutes

 

[Matt24]

Bozak... lol.

 

[Swervin81]

Oh look, the pylon actually hustled back and made a good play?!?!?!

 

[saffronleaf]

Damn, that goal will probably prevent another well-deserved jersey tossing.

 

[Kyle Doobas*]

of course he would pass to Bozak

 

[HockeyCA]

Kadri's has inexplicably had a ton of detractors since the day he was drafted. I'm gonna say there's an ulterior motive at play in a segment of the fan base, sadly.

Because, who could possibly have a problem with a selfish, soft, player who does none of the little things that helps you win games?

The Leafs would be much better off trading him while he still holds high value and more of his "warts" aren't exposed

 

[TMLeafer]

Glad the crowd's not buying this 5 min effort.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Unfortunately, I think the same. It's sad that this still happens in this day and age and in a place like Toronto.

I also consider this. He had an insane amount of hate since his draft days. Not sure why.

 

[p.l.f.]

4 on 4 is so much more fun
The league should really consider it in the future

 

[Quares27]

yeah, thats our M.O., just like at the end of March 2015 when they'll excite the faithful with a four game winning streak that takes us from drafting 3rd overall to drafting 10th overall and still missing the playoffs.

Book it, Dano.

That's not our M.O at all though. Do you even watch the Leafs play? if anything we have been getting worse as the season goes in, and individual games we normally start well and then get dominated more and more as the game goes on. I swear you losers fabricate narratives just so you can complain. The Leafs havent been a team that starts bad and ends well for 5+ years.

 

[Morguee]

I love when this team only shows up the last 5 minutes

It's not about them showing up as much as it is the other team shifting to glide.

 

[leafs in five]

Macarthur looks pretty good tonight too. 1g 1a for grabo

 

[Dirty Dan]

Game out of reach? Better try to pad our stats.

That's smart tanking. Getting mcdavid while putting up 80 points is what guys like bozak should strive for.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

of course he would pass to Bozak

He does co-lead the team in points. Why not? Game is over, Kessel can be brave now and start to play his game.

3 mins a night from goon enforcers who can't keep up with the play is exciting physical hockey

the games lost so you just want to see a fight because well umm eh , just because

Like I said before, for your kind of hockey, we have the Swedish elite league streaming, and womens hockey at the local rinks, so you won't be offended by the way men play at the NHL level.
