GDT: Stanley Cup Qualifier Game 3: Leafs @ CBJ - Aug. 6th, 8:00 PM ET - NBCSN - SN

[Dekes For Days]

That is a completely piss poor reason to keep a top prospect in the bubble

No, it's not. He's one of their better alternatives, and teams need alternatives through playoff runs. This is where he belongs, as he would on any team. He's not held back by being here.

Instead of the Maple Leafs using the standard NHL/NBA visitors locker room since they are the "away team" tonight, they are using the Toronto Raptors locker room.

Not sure if this will fly with NHL, lol. They don't want the host teams (Toronto and Edmonton) to have any home ice advantages. OR maybe NHL Okay'ed it.

Seeing how we're being forced to let other teams use our dressing room the NHL can just STFU in this case.

Other teams have used the Raptors room. Keeping the Leafs out of there is more "unfair" than having them use the room for one game, and it's not like the Leafs just went in and squatted. They were obviously assigned the room.

Have the other teams complained yet? Hah

This. There is no advantage to be had by using the 'home' room, even when we are the 'away' team. I hope they changed the carpet because i shutter to think how many loogies get hoarked on the maple leaf

It's the Maple Leafs home arena and they can do whatever they want.

Come out and compete, play to your strengths, play as a 5 man defensive unit to help the defense and goaltender and I'm confident we will

 

[Nylander88]

Big game boys. Let's get it going! 8 o clock feels so far away

 

[lovemyleafs]

We tend to step up when one of our main guys goes down.

I'm confident we'll win tonight for Jake.

4-1

[MattySnipes]

Holy moly QUADS

 

[Rob Brown]

The guy has pride for our city. Everyone is afraid he'll leave when the contract is up but I really don't see it.

Same. He worries me the least out of em all. Which is weird cuz he is American, no connection to Canada except for being drafted by a team. I think he has really grown to love the city over the years. I know he doesnt live here full-time but in terms of the atmosphere of city, the fans, restaurants, shopping, love for Leafs, he could do much, much worse.

Yeah, agreed. He seems to love the spotlight and I do think he understands the significance of winning here. I believe he truly wants to win here and be the guy to bring the Cup back to Toronto. I just can't see him leaving, but who knows.

 

[stickty111]

Barrie has played well under Keefe, and has taken a step forward in the playoffs but it's 2 games. He isn't at his Avs level yet but he's fine.

 

[stickty111]

Colorado gave him ridiculously sheltered minutes.

Theres a reason why even Keefe couldn't fix him. He just f***ing sucks.

Yet Avs fans love him, and was used a lot by their coach. Barrie has played well under Keefe, and is more then fine in his role.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Have the other teams complained yet? Hah

If they did the Leafs should complain when the Hurricanes covered up their logo with that earn it banner at the entrance to their locker room.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

He moves way too slow on the powerplay, which is why it is so hard for us to get set up if the puck ever comes out. Would like him to use more speed when skating up.

who cares what Avs fans say about him, he has not been good this year... if you like mediocrity than he is ur guy....

 

[stuart5035]

Whatever he is being paid for, he is not doing it yet. Becoming clear that he is overpaid (5th highest paid player in the NHL). Don't care cause it is not my move but with the cap remaining flat for the next few years, it does not give the team much flexibility to add. His greed may ultimately get him a ticket out of Toronto.

Agreed, he is worth 8 million at most.
What really worries me is that he is a good guy, and the enormous pressure of the 5th highest contract in the league could be his undoing.

 

[Havoc]

My eyes are on Rielly tonight. It's understated how he can control a game when he's on.

If our no.1 plays like a no.1 tonight we won't miss Muzzin.

When Muzzin first got hurt in the regular season on December 27 in New Jersey, the Leafs went onto win 3/4 games and that was with Rielly not playing at 100% before his injury a few weeks later. Remember how they lost against the Rangers in overtime and went onto defeat the Wild, Jets, and Islanders in their next three games.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

We are undefeated when I am tuning into the game at work. Hoping the pendulum continues tonight and tomorrow.

Beat the Columbust Crap ***es boys!
