Pre-Game Talk: Toronto in Vegas. November 19th 2019 - 10pm

[Cor]

Anyone excited?

Gonna be fun to have the same lineup with no changes to lines!


Honestly though,

The Leafs are in the top 5 of the league in terms of CF%. They are no good at xGF%. What that means, is this team is throwing pucks on net from far out, for the sake of doing show. Lots of shot attempts, but very little meaningful shots. It’s like they don’t care about trying to get good scoring chances.

9-9-4 record entering the game.

Have allowed the first goal in 17 of our 22 games.


A bright spot? Vegas isn’t exactly off to a hot start either.

[Erdinger]

The 3 days off and 3 hour time difference is going to throw the boys off their game. Probably will come out pretty listless

They dominated Calgary tonight and won 6-0.

Anything new?
Vegas is about to **** us up. I hope it get’s Babcock fired!!!

 

[Rogue Leader]

tank commander?

If it has come to this, @Cor ... you have my shovel!!!

 

[Erdinger]

Not yet. I want them to do a gong show tour through the time zones so that various fanbases will have their spirits uplifted beating the mighty Leafs. Then please let the axe fall

Oh great. They are going to dominate us

 

[CelticDruid]

Oh great. They are going to dominate us

LOL

 

[Cor]

Low key hope Ryan Reaves levels someone. Not injure them. Just a clean hard hit.

See if it gets some sort of response.

Probably not.

We should call up Ben Harpur. If we are gonna be shit. Might as well have a shit player who will punch someone.

Maybe we can sign Clune from the Marlies too

[wingman75]

Fully expecting us to play well out of the gate, get down 1, then give up a PP goal before the first ends.
Because Vegas feeling good about themselves, I see this going the way of the Pit game.
I always want the Leafs to win, but if this loss moves us closer to 'severing the cock' (i.e. dismikebering), bring it on.

 

[Cor]

35-17-8

That’s the record we need to hit 100 points.

We SQUEAKED into the playoffs last season with 100 points.

Not good.

Pulling a Lorena Bab-itt

 

[LeafingTheWay]

Vegas Golden Knights and Calgary Flames are in the same boat as the Leafs, playing just as poorly to start the season (Same points% as the Leafs before tonight).

I don't expect those teams to be this poor to continue the rest of the season, nor do I see the same continuing with the Leafs.

That’s crazy, you mean a whole team that’s based around advanced statistics and not actual hockey is more concerned about advanced statistics than actual hockey?

Imagine that.

May be you need to make a GDT; need some reverse jinx

Response yeah to ryan reaves.... Mayne! Sire! That dirt there ain't happening. Our squat squad wouldn't be able to response to even william carrier (who will also kill us by the way), nore to some other vegas players. We just ain't tough enough as our gm is not getting us but butter soft dolls. Glad we still got barrie, petan and shore playing for us and not making us better in any sort of way we ain't already got in our squad. Get some new personel in and make others disappear. Take a page out of Lou's game book and admit that's the last one and you also made a mistake by not getting or keeping any sort of players who actually (do anything they gots to do win games.) By any means necessary. We ain't have dat.

Oh God, is tank commander Cor back in business?

Seriously though I expect us to start poorly, do something terrible on special teams, show just a touch of fight then give up a softy and deflate from there

Pretty much what constitutes a usual Leaf performance

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Walking into a hornet's nest on Tuesday. The only positive is that it will Vegas' 3rd game in 4 days, But I am sure the Leafs will make them look fresh somehow.
