I can’t wait until Peeke isn’t playing for this team
Alright, so a Gaudreau trip led to a goal, and now three bogus icing calls. I can see how tonight is gonna go
Maybe we can luck into a generational defenseman
Can we clone Zach?
So I guess our broadcast team is just going to suck off Matthews for most of the game
Cole Sillinger “If I didn’t play hockey I’d be in the agency business.”
Good thing you play hockey, homie.
WOO WE DID A THING
Textbook top cheese.
Cole Sillinger Scored a Goal!
Goal Sillinger!
Nice little play there
GOAL SILLINGER
*I hate my life*
Classic CBJ. Give up a goal immediately after scoring.
[deleted]
Elvis got smoked on that one.
Peeke fucking sucks. How you gonna leave one of the NHL’s top scorers open like that
Peeke being useless as per usual
Really getting sick of this.
That was ass.
I know Matthews is great but come on.
I think Matthews has goals in I believe 9 straight games against us
That’s just a perfect shot. Not many are capable of stopping that one.
PEEKE IS FUCKING CHEEKES THIS GAME
I’m at the game. Defensively we’re a bit brutal right now.
But that Matthews release. My god. I got to see McDavid and Draisaitl last year and it was on my bucket list to see Matthews this time around. I wish we had a player with half of his goalscoring prowess.
Looks like they are phoning it in. Fuck I can’t watch this shit anymore, it hurts my soul. Yes, even where we are right now it fucks with me.
Damon Severson is horrible.
Yay, a phantom penalty too!
Crooked refs gotta help Toronto when they don’t need it.
Every Peeke shift looks like a Toronto power play
So 3-1 then
Columbus penalty #10, 2 minutes for being too large
That seems soft as hell lmao.
that “Fuck off ” caught on the hot mic sums up my feeling right now.
Voronkov gets a penalty for being big? Yep.
Dude got a penalty for existing lmao
​
🙁
This crazy Leafs lady in my section sounds like she’s about to climax every time Matthews touches the puck
Good lord.
Can we please get any sustained offensive time?
For those saying Peeke is bad: Just to let you know, I’m literally in the arena and watching the guys play live, he’s not even bad.
He’s an absolute embarrassment.
I posted this 6 days ago about Elvis and got downvoted slightly for it. It’s not about the flash it’s about the numbers. Our team gives up alot of unblocked high danger chances. When compared with other goalies who have played 15 games or more, Elvis Merzlikins has THE BEST unblocked high danger shot save %(0.826). Better than Saros(0.706), better than Talbot(0.788), better than Tristan Jarry(0.718), and better than Oettinger(0.729) among other goalies. When comparing goalies who have played 15 games, out of those 39 goalies, Elvis has the 15th best save percentage. He is tied with Saros, Mrazek and Bob. He is having a great season. Also for reference, Bob has faced 650 shots in 24 games, Mrazek has faced 608 shots in 20 games and Elvis has faced 689 shots in 21 games. 689 SHOTS.
Leafs have 15 SOG and 2 goal. One was a piss missile by Matthews with failed defensive coverage by Peeke. The other one was a screen on Elvis.
We have 4 SOG and 1 goal. Fucking pepper Samsonov damn it
Holding down the fort at Nationwide since I do not give a single fuck about OSU football
I’m not sure what I hate more. Toronto or the Maple Leafs.
I didn’t even know the Ohio State game was tonight. Sitting here in Nationwide not caring.
No Elvis. Martin is in goal now.
