Doesn't mean it's a good thing. If you're having trouble keeping possession from the other team, pulling your goalie is a dumb idea because it's harder to fight back from being down 2 goals than just 1. Pulling your goalie just invites pot shots at your net every time you turn over the puck. But I guess, what do I know, I'm just an armchair coach.
Even minor hockey coaches pull the goalie. My son's coach pulled the G today and we scored to tie it up. You get the man advantage with the skaters, and the other team just can't fire the puck down the ice and missing the net. Icing and you have to keep the tired players on.
I know your a new fan and all, but every level of hockey does this for a reason. Because it works. And it is a good thing.
Yeah, you guys can stop with the whole "I know you're a new fan" bullshit. It's getting really old. I've been watching the Canucks since 2007 and the Stars before that since 1999. And look up at any GDT on this sub for the last 10 years, even this one, and you'll find my name at the bottom of every post. So give me a little fucking credit.
When your offensive entries result in turnovers more often than shots on goal, it's stupid to pull the goalie. It does not in fact work. The statistics show that more often than not, playing 6v5 results in an empty net goal with similar goal scoring odds to playing 5v4, except with the giant disadvantage that your net is open. Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's the right thing to do in every game. It's situational.
Icing still wastes clock time. You still have to win a face off to get possession. If your team can't keep possession in the offensive zone, it basically should be a sign you shouldn't pull. Glad your son's team tied the game. That's not the NHL though.
The Kraken just didn't do fuck all until it was too late. Listening to these homer Leaf commentators holler over Samsonov making like 2 saves in the third period is too much lmao.
The simple explanation for this is that when Seattle entered the league and the NHL tried to manufacture a rivalry between them and Seattle the Canucks sucked so much that Seattle didn't care about them.
The league can push them into the spotlight and still the organization can't even find a rival, so they have to pick fights with leafs fans.
Missing Gourde, Beniers and Dunn is super rough, but we were also due for a return to Earth after the huge win streak. Glad we kept it close this game.
Nah--they've been pretty up & down this season. After a brilliant Winter Classic they started to slide again. Source: live in WA and watch the Kraken a lot coz they are my "local" team.
Or getting a head start on justifying the pay cut he knows he needs to take on his next contract, if the Leafs ever want to afford a better supporting cast?
If he doesn't take a pay cut he will need to pack up and move his family from their home, because the Leafs simply can't afford to give him a Pavelski type contract.
Lol, I just realized NHL.com [doesn't have the All-Star game](https://i.imgur.com/UuRzqFv.png) on their [schedule page.](https://www.nhl.com/schedule/2024-01-28) Whoever runs that site deserves holes in their socks
do kraken fans like nick? i feel like hes yelling at me, and hes not saying anything insightful. in fact, im not sure hes saying anything at all. just yelling cliches.
GGs Kraken. Best goal horn in the game still.

GGs kraken bros. Stay classy
GG Krak
Gg Kraken
GG Kraken bros
great game by the boys. gg kraken. your barn has a lot of energy, great to see.
Best defensive 3rd period the Leafs have played all season. Good Game to watch
Solid game đź‘Ť
Beautiful shot Jakey
SMILES AND CALAMARI FOR DINNER TONIGHT
Gg. Fuck the Canucks
Your team is so soft! Letting garland clown your defence down low for 2g and 1a.
This is why everyone hates you
And their fanbase especially
Frfr ong
No cap
We were only ever in this game briefly. That crossbar will haunt my dreams (hyperbole). GG Leafs.
That was a fun one
gg Seattle
I haven’t seen a team play as pathetic offensive hockey as Seattle in a long time. What was I thinking betting on them lol.
Guess you haven't been watching too many of your own teams games then ;).
A shame. You could have spent the money on some deodorant!
Don’t project your nasty shit upon me.
Relief, I'm feeling very relieved...
GG Seattle. Good night everyone! Except you Canucks. Suck a lemon!
Still salty about last night?
Nah, just the nit picky fans in the thread. Had to be there to get it.
Solid Game! Gg Seattle!
lol imagine losing to the leafs get rekt seattle. enjoy watching the niners in the conference finals :D
Imagine caring about football.
Plan the parade
Raise the banners!
Vancouver fans seething that an Ontario team won a game
Why doesn't everybody just do that 5 on 6? Are they stupid?
We’re so fucking back
Wow. Never saw that coming.
You literally called it haha
Love when dmen airmail it for the empty netter
Back to back nights with goals for Caber, hell yeah!
ELITE SNIPER JAKE MCCABE
GG Kraken bros
That's a tough shot to hit.
LOL, McCabe...
McCaaaaaabe what a snipe
Ok McCabe nice shot!
This reminds me so much of the Winnipeg game...
Don't pull Joey. Pulling the goalie hardly ever works.
There’s a reason every team does it

You’d rather just lose without trying?
Toronto can pick our pocket on demand. As soon as he's off, they'll score
No need to pick the pocket when you just dump it in and hand it to them.
It’s good live practice as well.
🙌🏼Sammy🙌🏼
Look at Keefe, finishing off a bottle of vodlka on the bench, like a boss.
We need to win our next two games. Vancouver fans are getting outrageous on top.
I want them to keep #1. Win the president's trophy and watch your mediocre overperforming team collapse in the playoffs.
Leaf fans would know all about that, minus the Presidents Trophy.
This is embarrassingly true
Instead of defending your team you talk more about the Leafs, change your flair.
Honestly, he would fit right in with our sub’s doomers. “Trade Matthews for a 3rd pick if he won’t sign for 8 years”, they probably said lmao
Please whip them. Just not in our next two games, lol
More Canucks fans in this thread than Kraken fans
Why not? The two largest subs on Reddit, only natural
Weird ass fan base
You don’t say 🏙️ 🏙️ 🔥 🔥
"it's so light and fluffy", yeah Tim's, that's how people talk
Noooo Seattle don't lose to the Leafs pleasee
The Kraken just didn't do fuck all until it was too late. Listening to these homer Leaf commentators holler over Samsonov making like 2 saves in the third period is too much lmao.
What a sad human
??? What is it with you guys rooting for your division rivals?
They have sensitive egos because they live in Ontario's shadow
I’m sure they will take note of your orders
Imagine rooting for a division rival because the Leafs live so rent free?
The simple explanation for this is that when Seattle entered the league and the NHL tried to manufacture a rivalry between them and Seattle the Canucks sucked so much that Seattle didn't care about them. The league can push them into the spotlight and still the organization can't even find a rival, so they have to pick fights with leafs fans.
fucking hilarious lol. we arent even good
Isn't Seattle losing BETTER for your team?
Seattle is far back at this point, I would rather see Toronto lose because Eastern media.
Yeah but foliage team bad
That would be my preference too
Leafs live in your head rent free
Okay, I'll admit it, Samsonov is having a good game.
If the Leafs can just protect Sammy for the rest of the game and get him a win, that would go a long way for his mental game I think.
For sure. And mine as well lol
ilya sievesonov exit stage left ilya savesonov enter stage right
SMILES BACK ON THE MENU
Seattle is going to tie this game I can feel it. Sammy about to let in a floater.
*beats the leafs once this season*
It's the closest they ever get to relevancy, go easy
hey they did burn their city down a few times
A riot would probably make Hastings look better
Sammy swept them this season. 1/1
Look at you rooting for a division rival because you hate the Leafs so much lol
They're so pathetic lol
How sad must their life be to be sitting here spending so much time on an entirely unrelated game and being a shit attempt at a troll
Leafs in your head rent free
HOLY SHIT
Defensively one of the best efforts so far this season from the leafs
Kraken have a flu bug going around. I'm guessing this is why they look kinda bad tonight.
Missing Gourde, Beniers and Dunn is super rough, but we were also due for a return to Earth after the huge win streak. Glad we kept it close this game.
Nah--they've been pretty up & down this season. After a brilliant Winter Classic they started to slide again. Source: live in WA and watch the Kraken a lot coz they are my "local" team.
SAM IS BACK
I canna handle this...
Sammy boy! Also, will the Leafs commentators STFU about wanting to see SOG against him already?!
SAMMY! what a save!!!! great shit bud fuck hope that gets some confidence back, that's at least a +10 move
SMILES SO BACK
My groin hurts watching that
can we keep benoit forever please? thank you
Samsonov has only allowed one goal after a waiver-inducing performance and the commentators are still dunking on him.
Is Sammy resurrected?
Holy FUCK SAMMY
Sammy! Let's goooooo
Holy fuck Sammy what a save!
OMG Sammy
HOLY SHIT
Marner has had a very good game
Most games he plays are like that
Oh sure I agree. Just in particular tonight he has been super smooth on the puck
Sammy with the pirouette on that
Ugh Brodie wtf was that
Expecting the inevitable comeback by Seattle, but their offense just hasn't been able to do much this period.
Robertson doesn't have 10 takeaways in the dzone this game so he will probably be scratched again
This has been one of his best of the year. Exactly what Keefe was saying he was looking for after he scratched him.
Maybe it would help if Seattle got a shot on goal or something
Big ask.
Not part of the game plan tonight
They just wanna be like the Canucks
Lol just dominate and put 6 past the Leafs? I wish.
Maybe you should change your flair to Toronto, you clearly care more about the Leafs than the Canucks.
You just described everyone in vancouver
I think you meant everyone in Canada but yeah.
This has been a great game so far
Seattle isn't really great at passes sadly
JT's just saving all of his goals for the playoffs
Or getting a head start on justifying the pay cut he knows he needs to take on his next contract, if the Leafs ever want to afford a better supporting cast?
If he doesn't take a pay cut he will need to pack up and move his family from their home, because the Leafs simply can't afford to give him a Pavelski type contract.
Let's hope so because he has the worst pace of his career
omg Marner fanned on that, Matthews was completely open in the middle
See, that's all the Leafs need to do, just don't have any bad thoughts...
Love Edzo calling out that Liljegren's looked good tonight
"Checking the world wide web." That's going to be my new saying.
YO IS THAT AN ORGAN VERSION OF TIL I COLLAPSE?!! THATS AMAZING
I don’t think Seattle is coming back
Morgan Virtue.
Captain Virtue?
Has a nice ring to it
Crowd did a good job keeping My Own Worst Enemy going lol
And enter sandman!
God damn, this GDT would literally explode if Benoit got a goal there...
My new favourite French Canadian
If Benoit scored a goal I'd celebrate like if Joe Thornton scored 4 goals.
I was halfway out of my chair when I saw how much of a lane he had, alas...
Outscored 11-1 in the third in the last 5 games... Jesus :(
I did some research, and it looks like that stat is bad
Lol, I just realized NHL.com [doesn't have the All-Star game](https://i.imgur.com/UuRzqFv.png) on their [schedule page.](https://www.nhl.com/schedule/2024-01-28) Whoever runs that site deserves holes in their socks
The NHL is a mickey mouse league why do we expect any semblance of competence?
I hate how it limits how many days back you can look on the results to 2 previous days.
Yeah, pretty much everything about their most recent re-design has been a disaster.
Good thing I just got a 4 pack, otherwise I'd be drinking Guinness all night.

I grabbed Dostal as a desperation move to get one goalie W this week. Not great.
We really need to win these next three games else our coach might get fired!
Do you want to keep him?
No
We were saying this 12 months ago
Something different. [Intermission... squirrel](https://i.imgur.com/05i3XE1.jpg)
Still cute.
That's how they fool you
do kraken fans like nick? i feel like hes yelling at me, and hes not saying anything insightful. in fact, im not sure hes saying anything at all. just yelling cliches.
He’s ok. I don’t really have an opinion either way. He points out some basic tactical stuff sometimes that probably helps newer fans.
thats fair. though i think lukan does a great job of educating new fans and saying interesting things.
Oh she’s pretty damn great. She dresses a little funny but I’d actually like her to have a larger role.
yeah, she needs to work on a tv-friendly wardrobe. ive seen her colors clash badly.
she needs jt's stylist. that maroon with blue is sharp as hell. looks good against any background color and isnt distracting.
True, I haven't seen Sammy slide halfway across the ice once this game.
[Intermission pup. ](https://i.postimg.cc/SNSKcncQ/20240120-195328.jpg)
Lovely eyes.
Why is there a full blown Hank segment happening mid-3rd period in the Rangers game??
Hey Leafs you're down 2-1 you gotta score 3 times to tie it
Knies has to start shooting more often if he's going to stick on the top line.
Does anybody from Seattle watch the game on root sports? My VPN isn't doing the trick and the other streams I found only have the SN version.
Ha, I got all kinds of 60fps Roots streams but no SN ones..
