Leafs @ Panthers - Feb. 4th, 7:30pm - SN, SN 590

Simply pathetic.

 

[13th fan]

The sooner Florida can score their second goal sooner the leafs can start to play

Ya if Florida was smart and just hang on with the one goal lead,they don't want us to release Phil the Kracken!

Hope_Smoke: Orr on the ice and good old Jake a Gardiner drops the gloves

Not sure how the fight started, but I doubt Orr's going to go after Huberdeau...

Isn't Orr's presence supposed to stop this stuff from happening at all to skilled players?

When it's two skilled guys fighting, I'm not sure. Honestly, I didn't even see the fight. I'm at work, listening to the game.

Not defending Orr's spot on the team, I don't think he should be in there either, but it's not like some goon Orr should be negating jumped Gardiner.

Yeah I think that's why, to me, a fighter's impact on "policing" the game is so hard to quantify or pinpoint.  There never seems to really be a consensus on when it occurs or what it entails.

It didn't look good when the Leaf's caption was getting called the most over-rated player in the NHL, so Nonis brought in Clarkson.

Panthers to the powerplay.  This team is a conundrum.  Obviously it's nice where they are in the standings, but it doesn't negate the fact that Carlyle is an awful coach and the constantly get outplayed.

 

[ZBBM]

If Clarkson must be in the lineup, let it be the 4th line.  I actually think that's the place he'll get his game turned around, if anywhere.  Low expectations and that.

 

[Strangelove]

Did the Leafs go out partying with the Dads last night or something? How can they possibly be this slow?

Absolutely right.

I'm very comfortable with this.

 

[ZBBM]

So, Kyper, RC is unhappy with rope-a-dope?  He seems to be largely incapable of getting them to do otherwise.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

A couple of those sequences may have been their worst of the season.

Partying too much with their dad's on the trip?  I don't know, maybe JVR did get some of them sick.

 

[Stickytape]

Randy should invite the fathers into the dressing room and just yell at them.

Thank God for Bernier's sturdy immune system.

 

[Sanecow]

lol at linking to board policy/site rules.

I prefer to read GDT's without sexist comments, but hey maybe that's just me.

It's a simple joke man.  Little reason to get upset.  It was pretty standard stuff.

Jokes are supposed to be funny and/or clever. That was neither.

I'm betting if I went with "broken fingernail" it would still be there despite being no more clever or funny. Happy to move on though.

 

[azzurri63]

On a lighter note Jermain Defoe is coming to Toronto. It's a bloody big deal. Enough god damn it.

Why should they wait for an invitation?  They should just storm the room and beat their respective offspring repeatedly about the head and shoulders.

Don't know about these players, but when my Dad is watching me do *anything* I usually want to impress the hell out of him.

I'd be happier if they jumped Carlyle. THEN we'd see how much Orr owes RC.

Lol, agree. He's not even that good, but that is one terrible ad.
