GDT #29: 2023/12/19 - Reaves Revenge Game

[zeke]

This is the last easy game against the team with the best record in hockey, before the Leafs end the calendar year with a horrendously tough stretch of schedule against bottom-5 teams BUF, CBJ, OTT, CBJ. Better seal these points tonight and just pray for .500 over the next 4gms.

Reaves gets his revenge against the team that unceremoniously dumped him in the best way he knows how - by taking himself out of the lineup. Fiendish genius.

Leafs are kinda almost healthy, minus their starting goalie and a bottom pair dman.

Yeah, I thought he had peaked when he showed the world that Micah doesn't understand how percentages work, but I was wrong. This is elite sarcasm.

A similar result as their last meeting would be good.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Fuck that was good. The only pre-game ceremony I've liked in years.

 

[SundinsTooth]

Nylander is smiling ear to ear...guy is so signing here.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I just fucking love Tavares. We gotta get a cup this year.

I didn't notice till now, but now I have no idea if I've always heard this and not noticed.

 

[Killer93]

So what do we do with the backup position when Woll returns?

 

[zeke]

2 bad neutral zone turnovers for the 3rd line. keefe gonna bench;'em more.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

What are these lines? Is someone injured?

 

[zeke]

weird start. we were kind of looking really good until a few really bad turnovers.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Damn, some good chances there.

 

[zeke]
