The league is gonna suspend Myers for a long time. TO was chippy as hell. They instigated a lot of the scuffling. Especially 2 on 1 there.

Also majority of games vs Avs left. Luckily, Nux swept the oils when they sucked. The last games in Edmonton and Winnipeg will likely have significant impact on playoff seeding. Fun times right to the end of the season. Can't wait for playoffs. This is a good thing, to ramp up like they did vs NY teams on the road. They need the challenge that goes with these important games. This is going to be fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for playoffs. Maybe that is the reason why they are still in the running.... they didn't get demoralized by the Canucks yet... their time is gonna come. So glad we get to put the Coilers back on a losing streak right going into the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that’s the nature of being a top team. Forgot what it was like. They still think we're a soft team, but they'll learn quickly that our team is big, mean, and nasty when we need to be. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kettlevalley Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Toronto goes on to play the Kraken in a back to back too. Will be interesting to see if the Leafs even make the playoffs this year. They are not making it easy on themselves. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like when they can’t outwork us and we match their skill they play dirty and try and rope us into retaliatory penalties. Thankfully our players have played it pretty smart for the most part and our pk has stepped up when we need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hairy Kneel Posted January 21 Popular Post Share Posted January 21 Just rewatching some of the game. I really like the sequence when Zad's knocks Knie's on his ass, then goes for a skate down the ice, into their zone, around and behind their net, back out to the point passes it off. Gets off the ice, changes and fresh bodies come in and spend the next shift in the TO zone. This softened them up for Gar's 2nd goal. 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their coaching has been great, Foote, Gonchar, Tocchet etc all know about bad penalties. We're wiser for it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So refreshing to see Nux with a massive D and play like it. Myers was more aggressive and physical than usual too. Physicality is contagious. 1 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hairy Kneel Posted January 21 Popular Post Share Posted January 21 (edited) Hogs had a beautiful battle with Gio along the boards. Hogs wasn't backing down! Hogs going toe to toe with a gnarly old vet. Gio was frustrated by Hoggy. Man Coach Tocc did some wonderful work reshaping Hogs game.

But I think its also important to know, when we take a penalty its because we put THE HURT on the other team. Not some bullshit hooking or holding penalty. These Penalties are worth killing. The team knows it and they are killing them. Keep taking penalties for roughing, boarding, smashing. they are worth every second of PK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Kraken they have a home-and-home series against the Winnipeg Jets...they could be outside the playoffs before the All-star break. Can you imagine the Media shit storm over the All star break in Toronto if that happens? Keefe might need some Zanex.

What an awesome turnaround, as it is sure nice to have a honey badger type on the team again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Yeah, but all the media will go on about is how the break will give them the opportunity to turn it all around. It's great watching the Leafs fall in the spring.

higgyfan Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 9 minutes ago, AlwaysACanuckFan said: Out of 33 games we would have the following bottom teams... Blackhawks Wild Ducks x2 Sabres Habs The rest will be against teams in the playoff picture or chasing playoff picture. Buckle up it's gonna get interesting after all star break My guess is that the Nucks will likely beat the teams that will not stand up in a race to make the playoffs, such as: Blues, Jackets, (2) Coyotes, as well as, probable wins over Kraken, and 1 or both of Flames (they will start trading away players and tanking). Including the 6 teams you have already established, that makes 13 out of 33 games. Of course, there are no sure wins in the NHL, but that also includes the remaining 'higher end teams' that the Nucks will play during the remaining games. Not saying it's going to be easy, but if the Canucks keep playing the way they have and improve on their consistency, they will do well in the POs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year's he's at least been better than last year. When he's on, he's on. When he's not.....look out, he'll cost us. I mean, this is a good example of a WTF Myers moment. Not only did it cost us a goal, it could've cost us Petey. He is "solid" and shouldn't be throwing himself on top of our star players. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's on, he's on. When he's not.....look out, he'll cost us. The only reason we notice and remember Myers' mistakes is because of his Cap hit and contract. That is soon fixed. But I have seen many others make mistakes that get overlooked.... even Miller Deb (sorry for swearing) But Soucy tipped that Leafs shot perfectly on demko last night, no one complains. Demko would have had a better chance on a breakaway. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
