GDT: 03/07 GAME 56 Our Buds vs a few BJ's

[1specter]

Taking the Columbus money line at 3-0 would've been smart.

Also Mikheyev has been playing rather selfish this game..

 

[Superstar]

We are going to give up the lead early in the 3rd aren't we?

4-3 early in the 3rd...

 

[Aashir Mallik]

That second period killed a lot of the vibes of this game.

they don’t have that killer instinct everyone likes to talk about

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Surprised Dermott didn't get 2 minutes for getting face washed.

 

[MSZ]

Say what you want about bad D or bad positioning by Mrazek. The other guy, Merzlikins has stopped everything in the 2nd period for his team.

 

[ER89]

f***ing put Brodie back with Rielly and have one decent pairing for f***s sake. Get Lilly with Holl. Good f***ing grief. Would be nice if Taveras did something and if willy f***ing played with a pulse.

 

[Stephen]

For crying out loud, have some dignity Dermy. Jenner's face washing you in your own crease and you just take it. After a mauling.

 

[2 Slick]

Mrazek .890% 3.22 GAA on the season, tonight, .889% 2 GAA so far.

Second goal isn't on him, but every big chance equates to a goal every single time. Every deflection goes in.

Can't do anything in the playoffs with trash numbers like that from your goaltenders every single game.

 

[lipstickjunkie]

Jenner has a very punchable face.

The MOST punchable face.

 

[supermann_98]

We are going to give up the lead early in the 3rd aren't we?

+/- one minute into the 3rd. If I was in Vegas I'd drop 20 bucks on a columbus goal within the first 2 minutes and party the rest of the night on my winnings

 

[frizzer1]

Keefe break up Tavares-Nylander ffs

1st line
Robertson-Kerfoot-Nylander
Mikeyev-Tavares-Engvall
Simmonds-Kampf-Spezza


3rd and 4th line are offensive black holes

Agreed.
Kerfoot and Nylander did well together in the playoffs .
Tavares to the third line with grinders is probably where he belongs now.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Gotta get Robertson away from JT and Willy before he picks up their laziness/ineffectiveness. He's still young and impressionable.

 

[CelticDruid]

Reilly is absolutely useless in his own zone.

7.5 next year.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

As of now, Tavares and nylander could be replaced by Tyson Jost and Alex Nylander and you would never be able to tell

these guys are so pathetic, you can tell when the rookie who doesn’t even get trusted enough to start in the d-zone with them is carrying the line

 

[LeafsFan89]

As soon as we get a 2+ goal lead, I don't get excited because I know the Leafs are going to lose it or make it difficult on themselves.
In all honesty, it is going to take a few seasons of not blowing multi goal leads 90% of the time to reverse this reaction.

 

[saffronleaf]

The MOST punchable face.

I also nominate Max Domi for consideration

 

[MoreMogilny]

We are going to lose this game too

It’s set up absolutely perfectly.

 

[LeafsFan89]

I also nominate Max Domi for consideration

I nominate RatChand for tribute.

 

[Teeder Keon]

[makbeer]

2nd clb goal was on the D. The forwards switched and the puck wasn’t in a threatening position and then inexplicably the d leave their man and go chasing the forward too.

Meh at least none of the goals are soft AF today. He's making the saves he should be making at least, and that is all the Leafs need to win a game.

But obviously sucks that pretty much the two most dangerous chances CBJ has had this game ended up in the back of our net.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

The only knock I have on our dynamic duo is their D gets a bit sloppy when it's 4v4 or 3v3

 

[IrishInOntario]

I'm not so sure Wilson or Reaves care what Domi does to Justin Holl lol there's a reason you won't see him do that against Washington or New York though. But come playoff time, we'll kill em with kindness haha

A little bit more of this is what I'm talking about... Only difference being that Sabourin let's up when Domi goes to the ice, where as Max always keeps punching when the opponent is already down. So if you could replicate this, with about 5 more that drilled his head into the ice and put him out for a while, this fan of blood sport would be left smiling!

 

[Scion]

Another blown lead? Colour me shocked.
This team has snoozed through the second.

The leafs deserved better than 2-0 that period. In fact, I'd argue they had the better scoring chances.

Yeah, I'm pretty immune and numb to all of the big offensive numbers the Leafs put up. I know that even with a three or four goal lead, they'll most likely give it up or struggle to win it in OT.

Defense and goaltending has sucked the excitement out of the games for me.
