Leafs @ Jets - Oct. 19th, 8:00pm - SN, TSN 1050

Is there any chance they'll ever stop trying to force this Matthews/Laine rivalry thing?

 

[bustaheims]

This whole Matthews/Laine "rivalry" is insane. Simpson talking about how players who go 1-2 are always linked together. I can't think of a single case where that's true. Nobody talks about Hall/Seguin anymore or Tavares/Hedman.

No one really ever said anything about Ovechkin/Malkin, either. Sure, the lockout played a part in that, but, nevertheless . . . it's really only something that matters early in that first season.

 

[herman]

It'll be McDavid and Matthews.

Once is becomes pretty clear Matthews is on another level. Which should have happened a week ago.

Definitely. I think it's really about the media trying to extend the storyline as long as possible, nothing more. It runs out of steam fairly quickly.

Eeesh Quick's out 3 months? Missed that.

 

[rdowdall]

If the Joffrey Lupul jokes continue, I am going to be out indefinitely.

Those are not jokes... it is a contest... see page 1.

Ah..Thanks.  Reading is tough.

Well in that case:

Joffrey Lupul - Case of mistaken identity, poisoned by house Tyrell - Out Indefinitely.

 

[ZBBM]

Supposedly these made-up individual rivalries are what drives ratings.  I don't believe it.

 

[AvroArrow]

Lupul - human equivalent of galaxy note 7 - out indefinitely

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Joffrey - Gil Gunderson - Lupul

 

[McGarnagle]

Well in that case:
Joffrey Lupul - Case of mistaken identity, poisoned by house Tyrell - Out Indefinitely.

Nice, but I would have gone with a more caustic "Joffrey Jupul - Winter is Coming - out indefinitely"

Yeah, that one works as well.  I also like:

Joffery Lupul - He's just not ready - Out Indefinitely.

Man, Matthews' speed and shot can really turn a nothing rush into something.

 

[freer]

Good period for the Leafs. I am happy with their penalty killing.

Go leafs GO

 

[TBLeafer]

THEY get the penalty?  LOL!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Woah. Don't see a call like that every day. But that's actually a really good call. But Matthias definitely had his hand on Matthews' stick. Auston couldn't do anything about it except to keep skating like he did.

 

[Kin]

Now that was a little pretty.

 

[TBLeafer]

Matthews to Nylander!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

WILLIE

 

[Kin]

I guess the PP was due.
