FUCK SAKES JAKE WHY DO YOU MAKE IT SO HARD TO DEFEND YOU

>gardiner

Holy shit Gardiner

oh great the gardinerposters are back

Hi, Mr. Gardiner.

dude gardiner lmao

lol. that was a horrible giveaway though.

I SWEAR TO GOD GARDINER

>implying that wasn't an awful turnover

Someone needs to tell Gardiner to fucking relax. He's trying so goddamn hard to do what he just isn't able to do.

Kadri and his line with some good shifts so far

believe it or not this isn't a cup run, the entire team should be trying to do things they aren't able to do

Jihadri gets to the dirty ice

where the fuck is that marchenko guy

Bjorkstrand has a hat trick.

>Gardiner falls down for no reason

I don't think he's practiced enough for Babs to put him in. They haven't been able to practice much as a team lately because of the schedule.

Otherwise, after a performance like last night, he likely would've been in.

He does?
That soothes me!
Awesome!

Just joshing you.

He has a hat trick of shots.

Don't toy with my emotions, Amerifriend :(

It has become painfully clear just how much Marner was carrying JVR and Bozak, I mean it already was but now no one could possibly deny it

>McElhinney is by far the oldest player on the leafs

>Token Leafs Ameribro reporting for duty.
There can be only one.

who /american expat leafs fan/ here

Is there a worse matchup for the Leafs than the Canes? I can't remember the last time I enjoyed watching this post-lockout.

>implying lupil will ever play hockey for the leafs again

flames

it's been a boring series for a long time

now it's even more so because you have babcock coaching vs. his disciple bill peters who coached under him before

this has been an exciting game so far

>by far
theres still 4 other leafs within 3 years of age of him

yeah tbf this game has surprisingly been better than it usually is

You aren't wrong. Just mindly chatter to fill time during boring canes games.

It's been above average so far in terms of entertainment
That's not saying much though

*mindless

Another big save by big mac. Couldn't ask for a better back up.

Tybmac

The canes just play a style of hockey that is just typically not enjoyable to watch.

Yeah, it's a bit better. But it's certainly too one-sided so far.

It's because of Slavin-Pesce. >Our defense is great and keeps games low scoring usually

In favour of who

Is hyman the best penalty killer in the league?

Pretty weak penulty tbqhu desu

In favour of the team currently with what is starting to look like double the possession time

Marner pls come back soon

SOSH SO CLOSEE FUUUUUUCKING POST

Ward deserves to play on a better team

Wow what a game this is turning into. Weak calls from the refs though.

Ward has one of the easiest fucking jobs in the league, he wouldn't survive.

You're a retard. Sans this season Ward has been a detriment to the team since 2009

Sweet jesus, that squence.

>Polak chirping

kek

Looking at the seats in the arena and it's not all that bad. People make it seem like its a ghost town. Looks way better than when the leafs visit the panthers.

The panthers have a good team too so there's no excuse

>canes powerplay is take a slapshot for 40 feet into the goalies chest

I am no expert or anything but that seems like a tactic error on their part.

canes will win this one. idk what it is with the leafs and the back nine of the season, but it seems it doesn't matter who the players are this organization always manages to fuck it up.

i doubt they will make the playoffs

You'd think there'd be a lot of fucking snowbirds down in Florida, but it's not like Sunrise is the hot ticket for vacations, not like Miami or the Keys.

>doubting godthews leadership

he's already got vets like matt martin singing his praises and every hockey insider complimenting him on his maturity and mental fortitude

Well, South Florida is a shithole.
The area is like 15 minutes for Miami. My mother used to live down there and other than the people it was a really nice place. Ironically my mother now lives in North Carolina.

Their defense is bad, really bad. The amount of quality chances they give up is fucking retarded. They have an elite offense but it doesn't matter when you give up 4 or 5 goals a game.

My cat is here so say hi.
