The 2019-20 Around the League Thread, Pt. V

[Raistlin]

The Panthers Leafs game is pretty interesting. leafs melting down in the third. PAnthers coming back without captain nolongerunderrated Barkov.

 

[PG Canuck]

Panthers would have 2 games in hand on the Leafs and they’d be tied in pts. Huge game to finish in regulation.

I feel a bit sorry for Toronto. Every Canadian hockey fan is going to be cheering for them to miss the playoffs (and celebrating if they don't) for the next 20 years, and I don't think any of us really knows how it started. No one cared 10 or 15 years ago.

 

[Zombotron]

Captain Nolongerunderrated Barkov and his wingman, Stillveryunderrated Huberdeau

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Leaf fans realizing that Ceci sucks. If Andersen is out for any length of time they are in big trouble.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Funny to watch the leafs meltdown when Anderson isn’t in the net while they are facing a good team.

 

[PG Canuck]

Leafs sitting outside of the playoff picture again. Huge win for Florida.

 

[Zombotron]

Florida, my DAWGS

Leafs sitting outside of the playoff picture again. Huge win for Florida.

I’m conflicted
One thing it would be gold to watch the fans reaction
On the other hand, we would see 24/7 of “what should the leafs do now” coverage from national TV for 4 straight months

 

[Hansen]

lol I bet like all of my SB cash on Leafs to lose so that I would have a funny number

they lost and I won a shit ton (1.5 payout iirc)

gonna keep betting for leafs to lose

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Too bad Kyle Dubas is a Ceci believer

wait, that’s actually a good thing

They'll find an excuse to talk about the Leafs either way.

 

[Zombotron]

Toronto allowed a Mark Pysyk hat trick and all is right in the world

 

[nucks88]

Montreal sends Kotkaniemi to Laval (AHL)..3rd OA pick in the 2018 draft.

Geez that’s too bad.....who did we draft in 2018 again....oh yeah, lolololololololololol...........

Yikes

 

[Hammer79]

I'm really fascinated with watching the Red Wings and seeing how ****ing terrible this record could get.

I didn't think we'd ever see a non-expansion team do worse than the 2017 Avalanche, and now they're in a legitimate race with the 2000 Thrashers.

Yeah, they probably won't get to 50 points. Their core is gone, they need a star to build around badly. However, they made the playoffs for over 2 decades in a row so I'm not exactly feeling sorry for the franchise.

Does not matter to me, either is good because it means they lost again.

This game made me fully understand why Ceci gets so much blame for the Leafs' defensive problems. On a couple of the goals he had the scorer in a decent position to defend them or at least compete for the puck, and each time he didn't even seem to register what was happening.

 

[canuckking1]

Tavares looked terrible even though he scored. Every leaf game I watched he’s been pretty bad.

Imagine if he declines early with that stupid contract
He’s almost 29

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Looks like Freddie Andersen will be ok...To me, the Leafs still look like a 'flawed' team this season..Its nothing that cannot be fixed in the off season, but clearly ,their GM miscalculated.

That team doesn't give the goaltender any help whatsoever but ya those are just awful numbers.

 

[DS7]

If he does decline that much. The fishbowl environment in Toronto will make his "welcome back" game in New York feel like a peaceful stroll in the park

 

[Scumbag Frank]

But compare with Bernier's numbers:
10-14-2
2.89
.908

I was agreeing...those are awful numbers for Howard. Bernier is actually having a solid season.
