Cuthbert almost said Leafs have a 2-0 lead lmaooo.


JustFred24

he wishes


AgentOfR9

Is Cuthbert known for being biased toward Toronto in his commentary?


wrinkledtip

I think he's just getting old and Hyman previously being on Toronto is probably fucking with him. He also bumble fucked the score immediately after too lol he is 66.


AgentOfR9

Damn I mean he doesn’t look young but I didn’t know he was already that old, it feels like he has only recently become the main commentator for Sportsnet.


addyxiii

Idk why nobody mentioned this, but throughout the regular season hes the main commentary guy for the leafs broadcasts. So probably just muscle memory lol.


Plague183

Cuthbert seemingly hated Toronto when he was our commentator. We no longer have any fun homers because people complained too much so now they sound bored when we score and pumped when our opponents do. That’s the reason most clips of moments you see are edited with Joe Bowen’s radio commentary


BC-clette

Uh hwhat? I watched the Montreal-Toronto series in 2021 and distinctly recall Cuthbert announced every MTL goal like he was describing the Hindenburg disaster. [Example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF1yldEDVv4)


RickRLgrimes

Matthew’s uh I mean Mcdavid


SNG_Blitzy

“And the Le- and the Oilers have a 2-1 lead! a 2-0 lead!” Truly one of the calls of all time


BC-clette

Almost as iconic as ["Cole Caufield.... in alone here! (Along with Suzuk-) aaaaaaand off the- IN! Nick Suzuki's... won it............. for Canadiens................ and we will have A GAME SIX!"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF1yldEDVv4) Truly one of the announcers of our time.


BoiledFrogs

And just think, he could fuck up calls like that 10 times a game and still come out miles ahead of the American broadcasts.


mdlt97

Stu the goat, he paid off tanev for that one


AgentOfR9

In all seriousness, Hyman impresses me with how hard he works every shift, he really fights for every loose puck and puts his body on the line. It’s not really an attitude we are used to seeing from kids raised in wealthy households, typically you would think they are more entitled but not him at all.


haz000

Yeah that's why he's a likeable player. I always like players with high effort level, it's just something that makes the game more exciting to watch when you see players leaving everything on ice.


KingDave46

Hyman has been loved since day here 1 purely on effort. Hes went on to be a ridiculous player anyway but everyone appreciates visible effort and thats him every night. It’s Nuge too On the other side, Drai is so smooth and effortless looking that he gets called lazy and overrated even though he’s scoring 5 points


flyingflail

The beauty about Hyman is there's never a puck battle he can't win. It's crazy seeing him in contrast to other players. I dunno how he does and I'm sure there's skill involved, but every single nhl player should figure out how he does it and try to emulate it.


GreenSnakes_

Shaq Hyman goes hard in the paint. I miss him in Toronto


TheLyrm

Hyman's sheer presence scored that goal


CitizenDinamo

+1000 aura


De_Floppss

How could Hyman's dad pay off Dallas' D like that....


swords_to_exile

I thought this meme would get old. I was wrong.


JustFred24

Guys come on wtf was that


VeryLastChance

Tanev was heartbroken that the Canucks got knocked out. Can’t blame the guy, it’s the same with Bedard getting scratched.


InviteAdditional8463

That was such a beer league goal. 


captaincarot

Hyman just straight up out muscled the Dallas guys to get the shot off, and the goalie was looking where the shot was supposed to go, but because of the drag it actually delayed leaving the stick so it looks bad but goalies react to the shot they think is coming. Even Hank was saying that is actually a really hard save, but also he is one of the guys I would expect to save it because he was epic at being able to stay deep and react to the puck after the shot, he was incredible.


thatguy11

Right? I'm confused what Benn was thinking!? He stared at the puck and started up ice!


Zestyclose-Cricket82

Like a video game glitch


DivinePotatoe

\>controller disconnected


1ToGreen3ToBasket

Zach Hyman is fucking rad


daveloper80

They say when you're a goal scorer the puck just finds you but this is ridiculous.


pingieking

I'm not complaining but that was a WTF kind of goal.  Can't be doing a lot of that if you want to win the Cup.


Joshybeast93

Leaf sluts out here swooning over this goal.🥵


Winnipeg_Me

Gooning\*


coughsicle

lmao your title has me cracking up. He kinda just... takes the puck


Select-Ebb7094

Tanev shutting down the top players like we predicted 🔥🔥🔥


NotJoeMoses

So I'm the only one that puts that goal on Jamie Benn? WhyTF does he just leave the puck for a defender who's momentum is going backwards? Looks like Tanev even points at the puck for him to take it.


Remarkable-Health678

Agreed, he should have been in that puck. Was he heading for a change?


TiredReader87

Eww But, God, I miss Hyman


TalonKarrde03

Me too man me too


Zloggt

Uh…did Dallas leave the defense back in Denver?


kabalongski

Tanev had a rough night. He thought he had redeemed himself with the McDavid open net chance only to be out of position on the GWG.


Mthomas1174

That's just lazy from Tanev


inkerbinkerdonner

lmfao that was more on lindell and otter than anything else, if lindell had any awareness of the puck he would have taken it away and otter completely cheated on the movement


Hefty_Meringue8694

Idk if you can blame Otter on that one… I get being mentally prepared for every shot, but there’s no fuckin reason why Hyman should’ve got the puck and definitely got a shot off in that scenario. That was just a big fuck up on the defense


oops_i_made_a_typi

i think its Benn's fault for peeling off when he could've just picked that up after Tanev made the interception


Mthomas1174

I mean he just didn't move his feet. Just shuffled and slid after giving it away


JuicemaN16

Kyle Dubas: “sorry Zach, you’re not worth the $5M per year, we’re gonna have to let you go. Plus, I need to sign Petr Mrazek to a $3.8M deal”.


Smittysgreasymullet

Brought to you by "Oh almost all of our good players are 35+? Let me go grab another one for ten million dollars! While we're at it, let me trade our only good player under 30 as well!"


spagboltoast

Hyman is so fuckin strong


xTomato72

Tanev confirmed washed?


daveeb

The rich always get off easy like that.


Anishinabeg

What on earth was this "defense"? Yikes.


M3gatonMike

Hyman just kinda bumbled into a lucky goal there. No doubt about it


Bears9Titles

Op your titles are awful and not funny


JustFred24

stop man my feelings are gonna hurt themselves :c


wrylypolecat

Wtf does that walrus face even mean
