Bozak is broken

 

[ElephantShell]

No Komarov in this OT so far which is nice.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Unrelated to this shit ass hockey game, is this the most GAF thread of the year?

 

[BigJonsson]

How did Gardiner miss that :|


Oh, Doughty blocked it....


Shoooootout

 

[Yawnier]

Due Doughty deserves a Norris for that play

 

[ElephantShell]

Cool let's watch Andersen go 0/3 on another shootout. Should be fun.

 

[Zombie James]

Aaaaand one point is all the Leafs are going to get. On with the gimmick.

 

[bonesmccoy]

0-3 for the Leafs this night

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Marner just had to lift the puck, and now the shoot out so we've already lost.

 

[Line_HTX]

Man, Doughty... Dunno what to say.

:lol

 

[bonesmccoy]

oh ffs

Andersen is also kind of shit at the shootout

 

[BigJonsson]

Weak

 

[Zombie James]

And that's it.

 

[Yawnier]

At least Babs is starting to put the best players on this team in the shootout

 

[bonesmccoy]

At least Babs is starting to put the best players on this team in the shootout

Except they can't score in it

 

[calder]

Quicks unorthodox athleticism makes him so good in the shootout. I'd assume.

 

[MetatronM]

If the playoffs started right now:

Islanders @ Capitals
Penguins @ Blue Jackets
Rangers @ Canadiens
Bruins @ Senators

Kings @ Wild
Predators @ Blackhawks
Flames @ Sharks
Ducks @ Oilers

 

[ElephantShell]

Loser points are keeping them in the race but soon it's not gonna be enough.

 

[Line_HTX]

Shit, they actually won. Gotta overtake the Blues now that they're free-falling.

 

[Pikma]

Dammit Leafs...

 

[astroturfing]

hahaa Quick was amazing stopping Weird Head Nylander, Little Boy Marner and Never Smile Matthews. nice job. very poor low energy uncharismatic attempts by all three.

but hey, to more important matters, what is this i hear of a Swede scoring back-to-back hat tricks..? Fors.. something? who exactly does he think he is?

 

[ElephantShell]

The record for most OT/SO losses in a season is 18. The Leafs have 14 with 19 games left.

I don't see how they don't break that record.

 

[Line_HTX]

Lol, this guy...

 

[MetatronM]

7 teams have more wins than the Avalanche have points.

 

[Yawnier]

Except they can't score in it

Parenteauvechkin would have prevented this

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

I thought this season I was going to be content with the Leafs losing a lot of games and just watching the rookies. But it's how they lose, time after time, giving up a third period lead losing in the OT/shootout, it's infuriating to watch.

Like is it better to grow up with no Dad, or one that promises you he's going to be around all the time and take you to the batting cages, but always gets too drunk and ends up now showing up.

Papi?

 

[Unhandled Exception]

So Dater invaded BSN Denver (the only actually decent Avs media outlet) and appeared on the podcast and in that first podcast he started talking about going to a bar after the recording was over for the night. Dude got fucking canned from the Denver Post because he made some really stupid decisions due to his drinking problem, made a huge public show of getting sober for many months now and is right back to it.

He ruins everything he touches.

 

[PillarEN]

Good news. I got my copy of Zelda. Not so great news, I have to go visit my grandma and won't be able to play till Saturday or Sunday

[lamaroo]

Game/product launches make the Canadian gaming deals thread unbearable.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

I like how yesterday of all days my sister some how found an old Habs Subban jersey for me on the cheap

that video tribute :')

 

[Pikma]

I'm still waiting for Amazon to ship my Switch ;_;

 

[CreeperBlocks]

If the playoffs started right now:

Islanders @ Capitals
Penguins @ Blue Jackets
Rangers @ Canadiens
Bruins @ Senators

Kings @ Wild
Predators @ Blackhawks
Flames @ Sharks
Ducks @ Oilers

Kings and Wild would be fun. I think Penguins vs Blue Jackets has the potential to be the best first round due to the rivalry(kinda?) with Pittsburgh and Columbus.

[Kave_Man]

If the Leafs don't make the playoffs will Cake Boss force me into Sens-GAF again?

 

[imBask]

As much as I love Weber, and believed the move was okay considering it was an "all in", hearing Bergevin say he doesn't believe in a cup window and seeing Subban cry, while one of the 2 guys who ran him out of town is out of a job, shows how truly disgusting that trade was

 

[Solo]

It's time to make a small tweak to the first 2 lines. Radulov needs to play with someone who can finish. Danault whiffing on an empty net last night just killed me.

Patches-Danault-Gallagher
Lehkonen-AGally-Rads

 

[Foggy]

Kings and Wild would be fun. I think Penguins vs Blue Jackets has the potential to be the best first round due to the rivalry(kinda?) with Pittsburgh and Columbus.

Pens fans like to lord over Columbus that it's not a rivalry, but all it needs is another good series. The rivalry will be as real as any other for as long as Dubinsky is on the team.

 

[Solo]

If the playoffs started right now:

Islanders @ Capitals
Penguins @ Blue Jackets
Rangers @ Canadiens
Bruins @ Senators

All 4 of these would be awesome series'.

EDIT: wait, 3 of the Habs' final 12 games are against Ottawa? Well, that'll determine the division winner.

Anyone know a good flight booking website that finds cheap deals out of Canada? Xpedia keeps changing the final price on me after I select the lowest fair. Trying to book for 5 people.

Frustrating because they make you forget how much more the roster needs to be improved. The defence feels like its regressed significantly since the bye week.

That said, they came super close to winning last night, but for Bozak missing an open net and Doughty and Quick both making game-saving stops.

 

[Yawnier]

Yep

Google flights fams.

Something something Babcock threw the game away on a pivotal West Cost trip while jockeying for playoff position in the East.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Baboriello don't want the team to make the playoffs, because they know ownership will go crazy and demand they sign the 2017 equivalent of David Clarkson. Hence the blown leads and OT/SOLs.

 

[Line_HTX]

Watch as they finish with 25 SOOT losses.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

So the Leafs will sign Ben Smith to a major contract with NMC and trade Nylander?

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I'm actually hoping the Leafs can make the playoffs, if only because that way we'd get a Battle of Ontario series or even a Habs-Leafs playoff series. The latter would generate a lot of buzz and salt.

Rielly specifically has been terrible since his injury, I'm hoping Babcock plays Marchenko over Polak when Carrick comes back.

Also, I see that Leivo was scratched? Any reason for that besides Babcock hating him?

I don't think OTT/TOR would generate a lot of salt here...I think Leafs-gaf and Sens-gaf secretly don't hate each other.

OTT/MTL or TOR/MTL would be epic.

 

[Kave_Man]

Here's the thing I feel like OTT/TOR would build some great salt but in the end when the series is over we can walk away with no hard feelings.

MON/TOR nothing will be the same. I feel as if Creeper and Montresor won't be able to survive that series.
