I thought the Leafs played pretty well the other day all considered, Rittich just had a very good day at the office. Be nice to at least get to OT tonight considering half of the team is in the infirmary.

Hutchinson for the Leafs, Rittich for the Flames. I expect to see the Leafs come out flying tonight, it could be 2-0 Buds in the first 10 minutes.

Brendan smith is the best , on a PP kill, nobody within 10 ft of him. On the clear, he puts the puck in the flyers box, hits one of the coaches. Puck gets dropped back in rangers zone and goal scored seconds later.

if not for the fact that this game is on NBC, they would never have mentioned it!

the rangers suck!

that’s all I have to say

Ohhh wait , Paneran took leave of absence, is this Little league? Now I’m hearing he hit an 18 year old girl 10 years ago.

what the puck is going on major sports today?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Dave Rittich is never gonna let another goal in.

lol - Dirty save on Dirty Sanchez.

 

[dash]

The guy between the pipes for the Leafs has made some nice saves as well tonight.

 

[Pastafazul]

I think, I hope this is Brendan smith last game.

too much of liability.

 

[dash]

Auston gooning it up out there

Flames look like they're just trying to get this game to OT.

Naw. You good. haha

Glad I'm not watching this crap.

If what Gallagher did was goalie interference, that is most DEFINITELY goalie interference.

You and @dash are on a role tonight being just second ahead of a big shift.

1-1 and certainly heading to OT now

I think the ref should have called goalie interference and have the Leafs challenge. No way the Flames are going to challenge and give the Leafs a chance on the PP late.

 

[dash]

That said, it you would have told me the Flames would have three points already in two games against Toronto with no Markstrom, I wouldn't have believed you.

Can you even do that? If he blows it dead for interference the play's dead and the goal doesn't count no? Always better to put the onus on the coach.

 

[Eco]

And Leafs win.

Rittich is livid.

The puck goes in, but the ref calls goalie interference. The Leafs then challenge and they might still rule it to be a good goal. Hyman made no effort to get out of the crease in my opinion and impeded Rittich in trying to make the save. Oh well, it's a moot point now.
