First time in 5 games the Leafs managed to get 3 goals in a game. Most goals given up on odd-mad rushes. The problem is not just the goaltending.... you get less than average goaltending when the team in front of them plays below average defense.

did you see the hoglander and pearson goals last night?

He's an elite hockey story

Not an elite goalie

Yes.

It's about the story, and believing in it.

Feel like a kid again you know.

Fair. The guy just confessed he's a Wings fan, so I'm even more confused now.

Umm, leadership.
Which sucks, cause the conservative guy here is very good.

unfortunately we only knew for 1 year that vaccines would be coming..and we would need to do something with them in rapid fashion

who could see problems like this coming

That's my issue. Ontario seems behind in planning. Why wasn't this figured out in the fall? It seems they waited until we had the vaccines before deciding anything.

Lmao some idiot on twitter thinks Jack Campbell is elite.

Please tell me no one on this site is that stupid.

He's about as Elite as Mike Smith.

Yes.

I'm definitely happy for the guy. It was a struggle for him to make it to the NHL, but like Christ man, he's using a small sample size and saying it's "elite"

He also said Mike Smith, who I admire immesely this season, is also elite.

this whole situation could have been avoided if the fathers of confederation had been able to anticipate their newly formed country (frank)ing up this covid response and vaccine rollout

Haha! Jokes on you he legit said that he was elite.

its pretty messy... call around, walk in ...nobody knows whats up.

if you are free all day and can do a bunch of leg work..you can probably get one.

Can't wait until tomorrow when we can look at the leafs destroy the Jets.

Which universe simulation does this occur in and can I make the switch?

Well he's elite at handling the puck...

And yes, he's been impressive for the Oilers so far. Pretty much saved the season from the Koskinen debacle.

I was being serious.

Mike Smith was a great goalie, no longer. However, he's had a decent year so far, I doubt it will last much longer TBH

If I had to pick between Leafs and Oilers goalies, id take Leafs JMO

He's been incredible this year. But it's foolish to believe that he is elite because he's played well in like 24 games.

He definitely turned back time, and us Oiler fans thought it would end sooner, but here we are.

One of the best goalies to ever play when it comes to handling the puck.

Yeah, the amount of games he's kept them in is incredible. He really is playing like he's in his 20s again.

Agreed. He's been better then I would have thought this year

Quick question.

Why the ugly flames logo?

You had me all confused about your allegiance here.

I think this is a good place to post this, and you would be wise to read and follow the rule.

Dozens and Dozens of Leafs fans trolling after victories.

Honest question for you as a ref, Are you seeing anything like this?

I frequent the Habs, Oilers, Canucks, Sabres boards. I don't see dozens, if any, Leafs trolls. Guaranteed though, after every loss, the usual suspects show up here.

He's looking horrible lately.

I suspect him being injured, the last time he played this badly was the weeks before getting surgery for a broken foot and his destroyed knee.

So yeah, he lost a step. Barely unloads his monstrous slapper anymore too.... Let's just say his performance has influenced our latest debacle greatly.
- Scabeh

Weber would be a monstrous loss for you guys. Him and Price are still 1/1A your MVP's. They both have to be healthy and on their game for any success for the Habs.

Just like the Leafs are a tire fire if Matthews and a goalie is off their game.

Not according to the Montreal media.

Weber playing great, he answers it's a team game. "WHAT A LEADER! DOESN'T EVEN TAKE CREDIT!"

Weber having difficulties, he answers it's a team game. "WHAT A TERRIBLE LEADER! DOESN'T EVEN TAKE HIS RESPONSABILITIES".

(frank)ing media is more bipolar than the fans I tell ya.
- Scabeh

Well our media is pretty consistently negative. You might here a positive comment after a 10-game win streak.

Quick question.

Well I was the dude that posted all the transsexual gifs all over hockeybuzz in 2015, so I was banned from this account for awhile. I know that the AVI change came before that, although I'm not sure why. I think it could have been a bet, but I'm not too sure. Just too lazy to change it.

In regards to that, I'm really not proud of doing that. It was incredibly immature and it wiped out a large percentage of the Oilers fan on this website.

we will bring back Asp and Awesomerino (Pat)
- Symba007

Loved those guys!

Canada is so effed up, there's 1 million people fully vaccinated and 30 million without their first shot.
- bobbyisno1

Slow pace of vaccines coming in is the reason for both.

Agreed. He's been better then I would have thought this year
- Archaic

Yeah, a lot of us were pissed when he was re-signed, but man he turned that anger into happiness pretty quickly.

Koskinen has played a lot better since Smith came back.

10 games in a row for a tender is too much and the guy didn't have a break.

They started the season 3-6, and Smith came back for the 11th game. Their record since then has been much better. The only time they really showed issue is the 3 game series against the Leafs, but they showed they can beat them
