Series Thread: Round 1 - Boston vs. Toronto

[dash]

The hot takes are going to be scorching after this one.

Matthew Tkachuk just chimed in to say Kadri just needs to grow up a little

Here's the hit in case you missed it...

2 games IMO. Only because that Wingles hit was Sketchy as well.

If he missed the marnier hit. 5 games.

Marner got caught in the Malachi Crunch (have to be of a certain demographic to get that reference)

I actually suspect that the commentary on the Kadri hit will be the most sensible part of the hot takery.

 

[DragonfromTO]

Excuse my confusion.

Hottakes????

What is the confusion about? I'm unclear.

It would have only been better if they blinded Marner with flour first.

Now is Marners official nickname "Pinky"?

Ah, OK. This seems like a good enough description.

"Loosely speaking, a hot take is a published reaction or analysis of a recent news event that, often because of its time-sensitive nature, doesn't offer much in the way of deep reflection."

Where Do 'Hot Takes' Come From?

The decisions handed down from the DoPeS rarely make sense, but I have to think if Doughty got one game for his hit, Kadri will be getting at least two.

Yah i thought the kadri one was worse. Ryjo looks worst of all ... although maybe made so by how small barrie is

Yeah, that reverse angle you showed really looks bad.

If Kadri does not get at least one game I will be surprised.

Living in Florida now I don't get a lot of Bruins games, but this is the fastest Bs team I have seen in a very, very long time. The skate really well, puck distribution is on point and other than the one misread by Chara the D looks pretty tight. I watched the Pens game the other night and as expected they played fast with a lot of precision I saw the same thing last night from Boston.

Well the Leafs are pretty much fucked without Kadri so small fine? All good?

He did him dirty but, ya know, Wingels can suck it feeling the need to go second man in on a guy who's already getting crushed by a guy a foot taller than him.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

In other reasons the game was a god damn disaster:

-Leafs' first line was invisible beyond Hyman's goal

-The B's play with a lot of aggression, they're well structured, and holy shit are they fast

-Babcock coached that fucking horrifically. Putting the 4th line out against that top line is suicide, especially when the Leafs to the last 5 minutes of the second period had played a largely even game (and probably deserved the lead at that point after some good PP's in the second). There's no logic to that call.

-How the fuck is Leo Komarov playing 16 minutes? How?

-Tomas Plekanec can fuck right back off to Montreal. I don't know what anybody was thinking on that one but he's the worst player on either roster.

If the Leafs' top guys have better games tomorrow, there's hope. Otherwise the chances of the Leafs not seeing Boston again are pretty good.
