Leafs @ Lightning - Dec. 29th, 7:30pm - SNO, Fan 590

I like my regional broadcasts to be from my teams point of view with leaf goals called with a little more enthusiasm

That's fair. I happen to prefer broadcasts where the announcer and colour guy provide interesting and intelligent analysis and insight. So, I guess, on some level, we're both facing disappointment.

EDIT: For the record, I like Romanuk. I'd like an upgrade on Millen.

I think you can have both.

Whole penalty was due to Gardiner not getting his puck out of his own end. Been horrible last 2 nights. Think it's time to sit.

 

[ZBBM]

Has Gauthier even taken a shift this period? 

 

[azzurri63]

Hang on boys. Let's salvage a point at least.

What the heck is Millen talking about with that missed call? It was a textbook definition of a trip. Saying how the ref told Rielly he can't embarrass him like that, maybe don't make dogcrap calls?

 

[ZBBM]

Hunwick's had a very good game.

You like that it was a good non-call?  What the hell is he yammering about.

 

[Kin]

Yeah, was that goaltender interference? It's so hard to tell with those close ones.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

KADRI!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Kadri, Nylander, Marner, and Matthews out on a 4-on-3.

*swoons*

 

[Kin]

Naz!

 

[herman]

HE FINALLY DID IT! #Trinity

 

[ZBBM]

Not sure we deserved that, but whatevs.

 

[L K]

Matthews now has as many points as the vastly superior offensive talent of Patrick Laine.

 

[Jeremiad]

Matthews now has as many points as the vastly superior offensive talent of Patrick Laine.

In 3 fewer games too. PL with no points yet tonight.

 

[McGarnagle]

Matthews now has as many points as the vastly superior offensive talent of Patrick Laine.

Matthews has gotten better as the season has gone on. Not just in generating points - his whole game is approaching elite. I'm confident the Leafs made the right pick.

 

[herman]

Fun fact: our PK has allowed only two goals in the last 5 games (24 opportunities); both against Anaheim in that first game of the last 5.

 

[McGarnagle]

And also in Matthews favour: Scheifele/Ehlers substantially > Brown/Hyman, no?

Laine will be a great goalscoring winger/finisher but Matthews drives the offense on his own. I think Laine needs to play with great players to set him up for those one timers while Matthews can generate offense playing with rookies. Totally different players and I'm so glad the Leafs have Auston.
