I was thinking maybe the hate had started to die down a bit, but based on all the booing when they announced his goals, nope, not yet. quote:also secondary trip report: duuuuude rogers arena is easily the coldest loving arena I've ever sat in. That beat out both TD Garden and The Joe in mid February in negative-degree temperatures and easily any of the other pro stadiums I've been in. brr. The only experience I have with NHL arenas is Rogers, but I've been about five times now and never had a problem with the temperature. Pretty sure I've been colder in ShoWare for TBirds games before. Really nice building at any rate, I didn't realize what a dump the Key is until I made a trip up there.

Kalenn Istarion posted:His hat trick probably had something to do with it Yeah but they boo'd the poo poo out of him when they announced his first goal, too. The nucks fan next to me up in the nosebleeds was just laughing and shaking his head during the hat toss in a very  -like fashion. Also, I didn't even notice until later it was a natural hatty at that - for some reason (beer) I thought he had his first goal in the 2nd period.

A Typical Goon posted:Because of the mad hype Matthews has gotten by playing in the Toronto market? Toronto players haven't benefited in voting terms in any meaningful way. The only Maple Leaf player who has won a real award for them since expansion was Gilmour winning the Selke in 93. To me it's more like when people were worried about Crosby stealing Calder from Ovechkin (when Crosby himself had one of the very best rookie seasons of all time) because of media hype and Ovechkin ended up winning 124 of 129 first place votes. Or people saying the same thing about McDavid winning over Panarin/Gost last year.

Bolts win and pass the Leafs for a tie of the 2nd wild card spot with the Islanders. It'd be pretty great if the Bolts made it and the Kings and Leafs, who picked up rentals from the Bolts, didn't.

They had to scrape him up off the ice and he was putting zero weight on it though. I'm more concerned about Crawford taking a Weber clapper off his cage. Knocked him on his rear end.

I honestly don't understand why the entire hockey community unites behind Jim Nill. "Give him another chance!" He's managed to destroy the #1 team in the conference with a series of awful decisions in one offseason, a transition that would take most incompetent general managers several years of bad decisions. loving get out, take your bullshit "Detroit method" back to Michigan.

I missed the 3rd period of the Leafs game and only now noticed that Rielly managed to hit -25 on the season while Gardiner is +25. Plus/minus is dumb and all but that's something. And to think Gardiner is the one who's prone to brain farts...

Schlesische posted:Isn't it also possible that Rielly is the one who has to defend far more behind such 2-way playing luminaries as Mitch Marner, William Nylander and Auston Matthews Gardiner gets more favourable usage, yes, but it's not extreme enough to warrant a 50-goal swing. I meant mostly that it's ironic that that the guy accused of having no hockey sense and single-handedly causing goals against is rocking the barely-above-2 5v5 GA/60. Possession wise they're both about the same (50% for Rielly and 52.5% for Gardiner) considering usage. Also Rielly gets most of his matchup minutes with Kadri. Meanwhile, Rielly's GA/60 is a splendiferous 4.79 with veteran two-way leader Tyler Bozak.

Rielly's always given up a ton of shots and goals against, it's what fuels the arguments about Gardiner actually being the Leafs best defender amongst stat people. It's possible to be known for being an occasional bonehead and come out pretty well on aggregate, meanwhile there's tiny but growing despair for Rielly ever playing consistently decent defence. The reasons Rielly gets the benefit of the doubt are a) he didn't spend a lot of time with Carlyle actively scapegoating him and similarly b) Jake has played a few more years on even worse teams. If Rielly is still playing this way two years from now the knives will come out.

Emetic Hustler posted:Q said it wasn't as serious as initially thought. Day to day for now. He can sit out for the rest of the regular season, IMO. Yeah, give him as much time as he needs. Schmaltz has looked like a decent fit with the second line, even if he will lose just about every draw he takes. They could just recall Hinostroza to play with Kero and Hinostroza in the third scoring line until he's back. Those three looked pretty good together before Hinostroza got sent down.
