scuro2 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 They looked impressive tonight, no one is really looking for them to get past the first round but if someone was offering up odds against them I'd take that bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) speed kills man on that matthews goal, forget how nice the finish was, look at the puck movement into the zone before that...if thats not a line clicking with a stupid amount of skill, I dont know what is. And the Leafs powerplay is getting close to impossible to defend. Marner is a puck distribution wizard. He forces you to make a read by pretending to shoot but then does the opposite of your read. winds up...you decide to defend shot or pass and he does the opposite. Because you have a man advantage theres always 1 outlet available and he gets to decide what one to choose. How do you defend against that? Its a beautiful thing to watch a guy process the game faster than other players. The most impressive guy for doing this kinda stuff is mcdavid, his goals are all scored where he just does something so fast that either the goalie or d man cant react quick enough. Last night he got a pass in the slot and stick handled so fast that the goalie was still in the process of flinching but the puck was already in the net. Youd think mcdavid had hit a one timer, but he collected the puck, stick handled to make the goalie begin thinking about making a save but then just put the puck in the net while the goalie was thinking for a half second.

John Bacon Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Interesting goal. But should the play have been dead behind the net? https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/cam-ward-surrenders-hell-goal-vs-coyotes-004011153.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Should have been blown dead a few seconds earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Marner has unbelievable vision, skill and game smarts. Really reminds me of a young Stevie Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bacon Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Big win tonight. The worst they can do now is tie for third in their division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 something about getting 100pts Us leaf fans are friggin shell shocked from the years of misery...does anyone really realize just how friggin good this team actually is. The great debate right now...who would you rather face Boston or Tampa Im going with Boston. I understand that Boston plays a big heavy game and has experience, but they are not the Boston Bruins of 2014 anymore, they are old and slow. When you try play big and heavy like Nashville does with the leafs...well look what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Leafs vs Bruins will be a joy,but bitter sweet . Leafs win,yes home team. Bruins win,yes,my childhood team. I pick Leafs vs Lighting. That way I wont have a total melt down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speculation and fantasy. I quote actual history and the rebuttal is fiction and fantasy. I have actual photographic proof of the greatest sports meltdown in history and you draw cute little maps of fantasy land. The Sens are having a bad year and yes the suck at the moment but the laffs are going nowhere in the playoffs and can't erase their decades and decades of letting their fans down.

And don't worry, 4 games into the playoffs and there won't be anything to troll. LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostAnotherOne Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Its funny with the leafs now. If leafs won that final game against Boston would they have the team now. Same goes for Burke trading away there picks. Anyways i was thinking if Marner stays playing the same do you sign him and Matthews to identical contracts like Toews and Kane?
