5 Rangers now have double digits in points. The entire third line (Grabner, Hayes, Miller), Derek Stepan (who just got his first goal tonight), and Jimmy Vesey.

Every forward to dress for the team has now scored at least one goal except for Oscar Lindberg, who has only appeared in 4 games.

 

[Cactus]

Smiley, I can definitely understand why you didn't like that fight. That said, the game was a huge clusterfuck, and a lot of guys on both teams did fucking stupid stuff. Kadri should definitely get a hearing for the hit.

I'm still pissed about that spear. If you're gonna spear someone, fucking do it and don't act like it was an accident. Then that extra punch at the end of the fight. Fuck off.

 

[Simon Belmont]

Oh dear...

Sounds like it was Gudbranson based on another tweet

Their fighter wasn't willing to fight him this game, what's going to change next game?

 

[Montresor]

But Stecher isn't an agitator. If Martin had decided to say, fight Burrows, I'd have been happy with it. That's why I used Nylander as the equivalent of Stecher.

Fair point, bruv.

 

[Smiley90]

Guys just do what Matthews and Marner do. Sing in harmony in times of conflict.

We all know this will result in a boring Gudbranson-Martin staged fight instead of some real salty goodness.

Hopefully Gudbranson for his sake is better at fighting than he was playing defense tonight

Martin was a fantastic signing. He plays three minutes per game but a team full of kids needs that edge.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

These Kings jerseys are disgusting.

I actually like those Jerseys. The grey and black are nice

 

[bonesmccoy]

FTR, I have no real issue with Dorsett going after a guy like Komarov after Kadri's ugly hit on Daniel. Canucks players could have targeted Marner, Matthews, Nylander etc and didn't. They actually kept it (mostly) respectable.

Dec 3 prediction. Martin fights in the 1st 5 minutes; Canucks take the home win 4-2.

I'm personally hoping the Leafs&Canucks start their 4th line and we get a repeat of one of the best opening faceoffs of recent hockey history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIcdbxzrtbI

THANK YOU.

I'm not okay with Burrows spearing Rielly, which is why I said Martin should've just tried to fight him instead of a rookie.

If Matt Martin dies on the ice (literally) do they get out of his 4 year cap hit?

I cheered for them against Boston, but I got sick of the elitist attitude CBC and other media (plus the fans) would show towards the organization. And the one the team had, itself. It was like their shit didn't stink.

Then, watching them play against the Leafs, and noticing all of the after the whistle slashes on Kessel's hands...and watching Burrows in general/hearing so much about the overrated Sedins...I started to hate them.

Elitist CBC attitude? The media?? The same media that generally focuses on the Leafs and tends to ignore the rest of the Canadian teams??

I don't think the Sedins are overrated, tbh.

 

[DopeyFish]

Fair point, bruv.

Not really. Say if matt martin decided to attack one of the sedins if he did nothing of note, that opens dorsett to one of our stars.

Dorsett attacked a non fighter who did absolutely nothing all game, martin did the same thing in kind.

 

[Reckheim]

So apparently Virtanen played tonight ... could of fooled me.

you were wrong the first time and you're still wrong and thankfully the rest of Leafs-GAF isn't as dense as you are

 

[bonesmccoy]

He made a nice play in the 3rd. There's skill there, and size. But I wonder if he wouldn't be better served playing a full year in Utica rather than on this current Canucks team.

When was the last time Leafs were over .500?

January 6th, 2016 iirc

 

[trifelife]

hearing so much about the overrated Sedins...I started to hate them.

Overrated???? Where have you been the last 16 years? It's only been in the last few that any pundits outside of BC have given the Sedins the respect they deserve. Even when they were putting up insane point totals they got slammed for being "soft" or not clutch or some other imaginary shit. Hank was in the midst of setting the sixth longest ironman streak in NHL history! Soft. If anything, for the majority of their career they've been underrated.

You're an idiot and nothing you say will make you appear intelligent in any way, shape or form.

Either use critical thinking or stop posting because you're becoming dumber than fucking tabris.

huh, I didn't think they'd done it last season

although technically they were over .500 for a bit in October, I already forgot lol

It's okay Dopey, go look at some imaginary stats and I'm sure you'll feel better soon

 

[SuperSonic1305]

So apparently Gudbranson was shouting death threats after the game. Next meeting should be fun.

 

[GSG Flash]

Eugene Melnyk is honestly a man baby. He won't even pursue an outdoor game unless they have it at Parliament. CB won't get the satisfaction of seeing him fail because he won't try in the first place :/

 

[lamaroo]

 

[yyzjohn]

It's okay Dopey, go look at some imaginary stats and I'm sure you'll feel better soon

Dorsett going after Komarov made no sense. Sure Kadri had the dirty hit on Sedin, so if Dorsett fights Martin after that point, nothing else happens.

 

[DopeyFish]

The only thing imaginary is any leverage you thought you had in this conversation.

You are wrong. Nothing will change that.

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

[imBask]

the critical thinking per 60 is off the chart here

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

So uh...what did I miss?

Leafs win. Canucks lost. Kadri blindside hit to the head of Sedin starts shit. Tough guys on both sides acting like pussies and going after non fighters. Goalies getting involved in a scrum and getting tossed. Matthews and Marner karaoke special. Smiley taking on all comers. Salt mine has exploded.

Still my favorite part of the night. That's some feel good shit.

I agree that Dorsett shouldn't have gone after Komarov - but at least Komarov isn't a rookie in his 4th NHL game with no past history of ever having done anything to anyone, Komarov's at least an agitator (like Kadri or Burrows). He should've fought Martin, sure. That doesn't excuse then going after Stecher.

Kadri's hit on Sedin was despicable and deserves a suspension.

Dorsett going after Komarov made no sense.

Martin going after Stecher was classless. (same as Burrows spearing Rielly)

I think we agree on that? (at least Montresor&Cactus agreed)

Now Dopey can post how he still disagrees with all this and thinks as soon as someone doesn't want to fight Martin he gets a free pass to punch anyone in the face but let's just ignore that post pre-emptively.

 

[zroid]

how many games for naz?

 

[GSG Flash]

Just got caught up on the madness that was the Leafs-Nucks game, that was quite the dirty hit from Kadri IMO. Looked like Daniel's head hit the ice

Glad to see that he was back on though

lol

Look either use critical thinking or start telling us what you think about Auston Matthews™

Is the 3rd overall pick bust going to be charged?

 

[Reckheim]

how many games for naz?

Repeat offender, I wouldn't be surprised if its anywhere from 3-6 games.

That was a really bad hit, at a very unimportant part of the game.

 

[DopeyFish]

Martin attacked Stetcher because Dorsett skipped Martin and attacked Komarov

you do NOT attack a non-fighter without cause and if you do expect to face the same result in return.

that is what you're not understanding. there is a code the goons follow. Dorsett did not respect the code and Martin gave the canucks a clear message.

It didn't matter if Stetcher was a rookie, or an agitator, or a star. All that mattered is that it was a non fighter.

 

[bonesmccoy]

how many games for naz?

Should be 5, but I have a feeling it will be watered down to 2 or 3. Quintal will say Daniel lowered his head or something.

 

[Cactus]

Salt aside, I really respect the Sedins. It's too bad their last few years in the league are being wasted. I felt the same way about Canucks legend Mats Sundin. I was rooting for the Canucks to win the cup the year he joined them, because Sundin deserved one.
