It's incredible how this content can awaken such strong feelings in me!💥
coach , gone marner traded , pay domi , send sammy somewhere, game 5 play woll
Toronto needs to change everything from the uniform crest to the center ice logo.
Go Leafs Go….Never mind.
The LEAFS remind me of Justin Castro very very self absorbed/ delusional clowns.🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 I'm a fan of the Leafs trust me you deserve it Karma is a b****.🙏
Pettersson didn't finish the game with the winner, it was Lindholm. Come on boys.
The issue Canucks fans have with ‘kick’ goals like that is the important one that got ruled no goal on the sedins all those years ago.
Canucks fans don’t forget 🤣🤣
3 years of Edmonton vs LA is the perfect example of why the NHL needs to go to the traditional 1-8 playoff seeding
"Skate on the ice- goal is nice; skate in the air- that's not fair."
Oilers outshot badly, yet they had the best chances. Typical kings hockey
Hyman hatty
It was a kicking motion.
With Matthews likely out, perhaps the Leafs will find the motivation they so desperately need. ✔️
I preferred when 32 thoughts was a thought on each team.
Especially during playoffs.
Feels now like 32 thoughts is basically 31 thoughts about the eastern conference and an after thought about the west.
Honestly, the rule should be if it's DIRECTED into the net by anything other than a stick (so using your skate, or any other part of your body) then it's no goal. It's one thing if it bounces on off of you into the net, it's another if you're using your body to act as your stick instead of your stick. It's not like Forsberg couldn't have tapped it in as his stick was right there, he moved his foot forward to push it into the net, that's still a distinct kicking motion and therefore no goal.
You win or lose through penalties, the PP and PK's are so important in these games.
Nichushkin did get a hatty not a pair
22:23 100%
He steered it in the net, but no true kicking motion, and don't like those, but it's a goal.
How have you guys still not figured out the delay on this podcast? its damn near unlistenable how often Marek and Elliotte are talking over each other
Hey Marek, put some respect to Nichushkin's name. He scored a hat trick, not a pair
A punch stop!? 😅 Marek just makes terms up. The Calgary Flames got game 5 of the series against the oilers taken away from them when Blake Coleman did the exact same thing. Moved his foot towards the puck without his blade leaving the ice (ON A PUCK THAT WAS ALREADY GOING IN). If the Forsberg goal is good, then the Flames should be granted a game 5 victory and that series should still be going
At the end of the weekend, we learned only one team has that killer instinct. Panthers? No, they stopped mid-feeding to play with their food. Canes? Nah, they weakened to a Tropical Depression. The Rangers? Yeah. They did what no other team with a 3-0 lead could do, and that's finish the sweep.
7:34 *Lindholm
lol watch that Forsberg goal again and tell me it was a punch stop… if so my poor skating can pass as a punch stop! That's as clear a kick as it gets … why not just legalize kicking it in? It's a skilled play.
People are somehow surprised paying over half of your cap to 4 players didn't produce better results? That's hysterical
😂🔥🇨🇦🇺🇸
WTF😂🔥🇨🇦🇺🇸🥊
😂🎯😄🔥🇨🇦🥊
Six games 😂🇨🇦😁✔
Wow great revelation here✔🇨🇦😄
AI YOU'RE failing here😂🇨🇦🌐
If you dont hit mackinnon or makar you dont win the series. Lowry had makar lined up and he spun off for a change, then makar went coast to coast and scored. Make them pay physically, they are not at full speed all the time.
They will either dallas or vegas next round, you can bet they will be on their butts a lot more than this series.
Really, no mention of Lindholm? Missing for 2 years in Calgary, missing for 3 months in Vancouver, and has reappeared with a vengeance.
Blah blah blah blah Vegas is unstoppable blah blah blah. No, 8th seed. Thompson is saving their ass.
I am a Canucks fan and I thought it was a good goal. The people who think it was a kick have never tried to stop while skating hard, your skates skip across the ice, and ya, he angled his skate, but that's what it is.
Why can Elliotte not pronounce "Detroit" properly?
