Lightning @ Leafs - Apr. 6th, 7:30pm - TSN, TSN 1050

[puckinthehead]

One goal here and the Leafs should loosen up a bit. Playing nervous

 

[herman]

Dotchin with an elbow and knee to Matthews which should be an interference.

Naturally no call.

 

[Al14]

Hit the net dang it!

 

[barney_rebel]

Matthews's parents didn't look impressed.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Someone better break Dotchin's face after that, dirty piece of garbage.

Seriously, pummel him.

"We don?t get slapped around ever." -Babcock on Martin's impact

As some AHL goon knees our franchise player.

 

[herman]

Matthews is playing fired up.

We can fill in Dotchin after we put up a couple of goals.

In fairness to Babcock, there was no slapping involved.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Seriously, pummel him.

As you might know, that's the same guy who took Kapanen out of the lineup earlier this year in the AHL.

 

[bustaheims]

Leafs look a bit nervous tonight. Like a young team over-excited about being close to clinching a playoff spot or something . . .

 

[herman]

Matthews is so pissed.

 

[bustaheims]

Matthews is so pissed.

Like an old man trying to return soup at a deli.

Haha so funny. No comeback by anyone. Doe's it surprise you. Martin may say something to him at some point in this game but PP or no PP someone should have went after him.I hate Marchand more than this guy but I'd like to know what made Marchand spear him.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Yeah, I kept quiet about the Marchand spear on the douchebag because I remembered him almost crippling Kapanen earlier in the year.

Seriously, I know it's a big game and the points are paramount, but if they don't answer that hit it will serve notice to every rat we are about to play, that it is open season on whoever you like and next time he might not walk it off.

Gold Jerry Gold!

Thanks for the true lol.

I've seen numerous times when opposition players took liberties on our younger players and no response whatsoever. That's what I mean when I harp about the team being soft. teams don't fear the Leafs like OV running roughshod every time he plays us. team has to stand up to that sh*t. Otherwise you're 100% correct teams take notice and they'll go out and do it. Teams already know that though with this Leaf team.

 

[herman]

Nylander with yet another beautiful blue line hold.

Coburn dumping Matthews into the net. The hit list grows.

 

[herman]

I like the Leafs going with a red line set up down low with JvR.

 

[herman]

I like the bump pass from low to high that they're doing now.

Namestnikov took that Nylander shot on the best possible part of his face.

 

[herman]

Check one off the list.

Coburn had put two pretty mean hits on Matthews previously.
