GDT: 1/20/25 - 7:30PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ Toronto

[RussianGuyovich]

Ah yes Hedman came to play defense and to chew gum and he’s all out of defense

 

[Ducati Boy]

Crow is getting lit up

 

[Rschmitz]

JJ keeping us in this one so far, they're winning most of the 50-50 pucks

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

The Leafs are proving that the fastest way to completely f*** this team up is to make us play with any kind of pace. We aren't the slowest team on the NHL but we damn sure deliberately play like it

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Barube always has our number it seems. We seemed to always lose to some pretty poor blues teams too.

 

[Ducati Boy]

Leafs look pretty good. Like SC contender good.

( I gag a bit as I write that)

 

[Rschmitz]

Finally playing better now that we've got the odd man rushes under control. Amazing how much better our defense looks when we generate offense...who would have thunk

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Nice play by hagel

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

gotta hit the net with a chance like that

 

[Rschmitz]

there is a change

Guentzel-Point-Paul
Hagel-Cirelli-Kucherov

Let's see if it lasts more than one shift

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

Let's build a 1-3-1! Brilliant f***ing coaching

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Good thing domi is dumb as shit

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

good play geekie

 

[Rschmitz]

Geekie playing much better at center

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Solid period for JJ. He's doing his part.

 

[JTBF81]

Give JJ some props, as he's kept them in it when the rest of the team pretty much no showed that 1st period.

 

[bov]

Considering how bad they look, being down by 1 isn't the end of the world.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Geekie is too good of a passer to be in a line with girgensons

 

[DFC]

Looks like they're attacking the weak right side. The giveaways don't help.

 

[Felonious Python]

The odd man situations are really just their David Lynch tribute.

 

[FinnLightning26]

JJ made some huge saves but you can't keep giving them that many good chances and expect JJ to keep up.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Geekie is too good of a passer to be in a line with girgensons

Sheary's scoring slump last season was 35 games. Girgensons already on game 45.

 

[DFC]

The Leafs are proving that the fastest way to completely f*** this team up is to make us play with any kind of pace. We aren't the slowest team on the NHL but we damn sure deliberately play like it

The Leafs are fairly slow. Definitely slower than us. They're nullifying our speed more than beating us with speed.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Good shift by the Kuch line

 

[DFC]

Good shift by the Kuch line

He checked MacKinnon's stat line between periods and senses an opening.
