Game Time : Wednesday 6, SN

Stats : Leafs 6-3-0 , Jets 6-2-1

NikWatch : 26 consecutive games without a goal

 

 

What is the deal with the massive slump by Ehlers?  I haven't been watching to much this season...  is the guy snake bit or has his play really been that bad?

Nice of the league to give us a 6:00 home game, on a Wednesday.  BS.

I don't think he's playing that bad.  He just seems to really like shooting it right into the goalies' chests or pads.  Kind of like Buff and Perreault last year.

I think this is an NBC thing.

All the more reason to call it BS. Piss on the league for doing this to appease NBC.

Could be NBC, also could be the fact that Ontario is the biggest fan base in the league, and so to attract the most viewers, they would want to have the game start at 7:00 pm Eastern.  I think this is a "Toronto" thing.  No other Eastern based team gets early starts doing the week like this, do they?  Montreal maybe?

Yeah, it's really irritating.  Like nobody in Toronto would tune in if the game started at 8:00?

Screw the Winnipeg fans scrambling to get home from work and to the game on time.

Laine is going to end up on the 4th line 

2-0 Leafs come on Jets you're better than this

Nice to see the jets putting on a show for the national audience. 

Lol the jets are so bad tonight the announcers are trying to spin Ehlers’ spinning around in a circle repeatedly until losing the puck as “an exciting play”

Ehlers finally has his first of the year.....man we really shouldn't do third jersey nights on days we face the leafs, it confused me

Scheif scores 3-2 Leafs come on guys, you can do this

Typical lucky leafs with the horseshoe up their asses...is their a more hated team in this league...them and their drooling fans and The toronto sports network....🤮🤮

I honestly don’t know who’s more annoying, Leafs fans or Riders fans?  They both pop up everywhere like a damned fungus and act like their fandom is better and worth more than others... playing like azz at home only makes it more insufferable really rips me up! 

Need more rye ~reaches for bottle~

When does the exhibition season end so that we can start to see some real hockey? Or do we have to wait until the playoffs, it's like watching figure skating, crap. 

Had the Jets bothered to show up in the first 40 minutes of the game last night, they probably come away with a win. These horribly slow starts are becoming an ugly habit.

I don't think the Leafs had horse shoes,  they completely outplayed us for the first 40 minutes.   We did not deserve to win last night at all.  

Some of our stars are slumping big time...  at some point they'll turn things around. 

I think I'm officially sick of the Aviator jersey...  too much too soon.

Maurice line juggling also too much too soon.
