GDT: Toronto vs Pittsburgh||Oct 26 7:00 PM||CBC|

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Just because you have a woody for Crosby doesn't mean everyone has to. There's more going on in the game people want to hear about other than than how big and nice Crosby's dick is. Deal with it.

And so the insensitivty already begins. Got a problem? Complain to CBC.

 

[NazemKadri43]

With Crosby and Malkin playing tonight, Glen Healey has his Kleenex and lotion ready for tonight's game

 

[sommervr]

Healy's commentary is going to condense down to three words:

Crosby
Reimer
Rebound

 

[HockeyGuy82]

I think Carlyle will swap 1 or 2 guys. I wouldn't mind to see Bodie in. He had great speed and hit good too. I didn't look outta place on that 4th line instead of Orr. Maybe McLaren will play too.

You guys think Carlyle didn't play Lupul yesterday to make sure he plays tonight?

 

[delled]

GLG!!!

 

[bunjay]

Leafs better hope Fleury has a bad game.

 

[LeafsMonster]

I really hope Leafs fans don't complain about CBC having a hardon for Crosby.

He is the best player in the league, and playing like one. Deal with it.

Obviously he's that good that we'll hear about him. But every 2 seconds hearing his name and hearing how good he is isn't necessary. Just gets annoying.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Hopefully clarkson can piss off crosby. Mad crosby is careless crosby

 

[Eb]

Leafs better hope Fleury has a bad game.

Why?

More like, Leafs better hope the Leafs have a good game.

 

[YearsintheWilderness]

Obviously he's that good that we'll hear about him. But every 2 seconds hearing his name and hearing how good he is isn't necessary. Just gets annoying.

I tend to think the same when reading the game day threads and reading "Healy" "Healy" etc.

I truly can't fathom this bizarre fixation so many people have with what he says. If it truly sends a person off the deep end, turn off the sound and turn on the audio from another broadcast.

But if you really listen to what he says, it's fairly objective. It's just that, in the recent past, the Leafs have sucked fairly hard and fairly consistently.

 

[bunjay]

Why?

More like, Leafs better hope the Leafs have a good game.

Because unless the Leafs defense has improved dramatically overnight I think they're going to need 4-5 goals to win tonight.

 

[rojac]

Penguins are 7-3. Leafs are 7-4. Penguins lost last night to 11 point Islanders; Leafs lost last night to 10 point Columbus. The Penguins may be a little better than the Leafs but it's not like they're light-years better.

The Leafs can win tonight.

There's no reason to give up before the game even starts. Unless of course, you're a fraidy-cat who who's scared he might get his hopes up and be disappointed.

 

[Eb]

Ya, we don't need a crap goaltender to win against.

NYI won last night with their "below average defence".

Just need to have a full team effort.

 

[Frelimo]

I can't remember if that same question was asked on TSN or Sportsnet, but it was and the response was this. After what happened with Parros, the Leafs didn't play any other teams who had the heavy weight fighters like a Colton Orr and Frazer McLaren. So Orr didn't get a chance to fight.

And didn't he fight Rosehill the very next night after the Parros incident? It's still a missing element from the Leafs this year - physicality in general is lacking.

 

[bunjay]

Ya, we don't need a crap goaltender to win against.

We did against Edmonton, and they suck. We also needed poor goaltending to beat Ottawa. And Minnesota. So you would be wrong there.

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

This team cant get Fraser and Kuli healthy fast enough

Those 2 bring an element that our team has been missing

 

[SteveV*]

GLG!!!

Gawd that's awful.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Should be a W. Last time I checked, Pittsburgh does not start with a C

 

[samyy]

I don't even care if we lose tonight.
JUST SHOW SOME ****ING HEART AND MAKE IT A GAME.

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Should be a W. Last time I checked, Pittsburgh does not start with a C

I wish we only had trouble against teams that start with a Z

 

[number72]

The leafs SH% is so high that they due for some regression and an epic collapse. They got lucky last season and outlasted the odds, but even the leafs can't out play the power of mathematical statistics. People should read James Mirtle or Cam Charron etc for some unbiased insights on hockey

Another "Oh **** THE SKY IS FALLING!!!" Leaf fan Calm down bro, we are going to lose sometimes... it's the inconvenient truth

 

[Cor]

Really wish we won last night, would have made this game "expendable"

We sorta have to win now

 

[Fakey123]

Lose to Columbus, win against Pittsburgh, seems like something the Leafs would do

 

[Quares27]

Maybe they were so bad yesterday because they were saving their energy for today

They need to limit the penalties tonight... way too much time spent on the PK

Hopefully they get a win after that awful performance yesterday
