Game Thread: NHL GDT - Saturday, Feb 20

Now the goal is called back and Claude Julien is all...

 

[Eco]

Goal overturned. Fair enough call.

Not sure what the refs were doing the first time looking at it, just silly really that they would make Leafs risk a challenge when they know their verdict already...

Oh well, back to 4-2 we are.

 

[Eco]

4-2 Leafs at the end of the 2nd.

6 goals scored, 1 disallowed, and a whole bunch of sloppy play.

The break appears to have been very bad for our defense, as we have failed at clearing the puck and our units appear to be reading completely different books in different languages which have lead to some easy chances for Toronto.

Some redemption for Matheson.

They broke Elvis. Had a puck covered, and Arvidsson poked it and rolled Elvis over. Looked like he tweaked his shoulder. Could be dislocated. Yay.

Not one Blue Jacket has beaten the fuck out of Arvidsson yet.

 

[Eco]

And that's likely it for the game. Leafs make it 5-2.

Simply a matter of Leafs able to finish the chances given tonight.

Does anyone know if the Tahoe game tonight will still be on NBC Sports?

NBCSN, I believe.

Jarry was fantastic tonight. My #1 star tonight

 

[Eco]

Toffoli scores and makes it 5-3 with just over a minute left. Pretty sweet looking goal as he just catches, drops, and gets it past Anderson.

 

[Eco]

Habs lose tonight.

We have a lot to work on, but as long as the teams are at full strength, then I think we do quite well, but our play has led to too many penalties and I think Leafs scored 4 PP goals tonight.

Regardless, they are clearly the best team in Canada this year, already a whopping 10 points ahead of Montreal in the standings.

Can we please go back to playing the Canucks?

 

[Eco]

Oh, and congrats on the win and the eventual division title @Bloody Brian Burke

Oilers looking sharp early meanwhile Tkachuk is just trying to piss everyone off.

Better the Oilers than pissing me off lol

Oh great, now Markstrom has contracted the suckitude of the Flames in front of him.

 

[dash]

Well, maybe this blowout with result in Ward getting canned. Not challenging when that puck crossed the line and on the replay it was an Oilers player that hit Koskinen is inexcusable.

 

[Eco]

Now Lake Tahoe looks immense now under the lights.

 

[dash]

With 4 minutes left in the game, shots on goal are Flames 43, Oilers 23 and the score is 7-1 Edmonton lol

 

[buffhockey]

Avs are pretty damn impressive.

Avs are pretty damn impressive.

The are, and Vegas are no slouch.

I'd probably rank them in the top 5 best teams, maybe top 3.
