GDT: #2 - 10/07/17 | RANGERS @ leafs | 7:00 - MSG PART II

[NickyFotiu]

Nash literally just skated by the puck in the crease instead of stopping?

 

[InwoodBlueNYC]

I know it's only 2 games but 7 ****ing goals? COME ON

Freakin' Ovi has 7 goals himself

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Have to shoot that there, Zucc

 

[NCRanger]

Goaltending is going to kill this team this season.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Zucc shoot that cmon what the hell

 

[Alluckks]

few things

first, the leafs are dangerous.

second, we made a nice run

third, that offsides thing was unfortunate and the hayes call is just stupid

last, with THIS henrik, wes goin nowhere.

Could be he is just old and may start a little slower. Game knowledge, positioning, control of your defense, etc. are not things that just disappear. I still fully expect Lundqvist to perform when at key times.

 

[Drew4u]

This team is so frustrating. too many times they have had mini breakaways and they DONT shoot.

 

[Kakko]

Funny how none of that happened when it was 5-2.

So you genuinely believe AV tells them to be dumb when they're not losing?

Teams generally perform better when they're down. That's been the reality in every sport ever.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

"So now they call him offside"

- AV probably

 

[InwoodBlueNYC]

Nylander and Marner look like the biggest pansy girls in the world

Except that they are both playing pretty well and their team is up 7-5

 

[NickyFotiu]

Zooks shoot that. Dont pass to Nash.

 

[nevesis]

few things

last, with THIS henrik, wes goin nowhere.

By this logic, the Leafs are going no where as well.

 

[aufheben]

To not challenge plays like that which aren't even close to conclusive

I mean it's obviously not about "getting calls right", or there wouldn't be a limit and/or a penalty. Just get rid of it.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

I have no idea what AV is doing with Chytil. No idea whatsoever.


It's clear though that he's not going to play so we might as well send him back

 

[NYR]

I know it's only 2 games but 7 ****ing goals? COME ON

I don't care whether it's game 2 or game 82.
These players and coaching staff get paid a fortune to be ready once the puck is dropped.
Excuses are complete BS to me..

 

[MysticLeviathan]

By this logic, the Leafs are going no where as well.

Leafs have Matthews, one of the best young talents in the league.

 

[Kovalev27]

WE actually had about 3 chances to win this game and didn’t do it. Very frustrating night

 

[Osminator]

Nash and Grabner are already pissing me off... gotta bury at least some of your chances FFS...

 

[Machinehead]

So you genuinely believe AV tells them to be dumb when they're not losing?

Teams generally perform better when they're down. That's been the reality in every sport ever.

He's the most passive coach in the league and the only time he's not us when we're losing, which is why we have a ton of trouble leaving the zone.

 

[vladmyir111]

Because the people who amend the rulebook are too dumb and stubborn to admit their offside challenge rule was poorly written and too broadly applied - so, rather than amend it properly and fix the wording (so those 10 second later offside bs challenges are gone), they just add a penalty to deter use of it.

Well I'm ok with some kind of fix for that, but yeah that just seems lazy

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Does Carey look any more ready to take NHL shifts than Chytil? Why is Carey still getting shifts?

 

[offdacrossbar]

By this logic, the Leafs are going no where as well.

so hank plays for them too ?

 

[Ail]

I have no idea what AV is doing with Chytil. No idea whatsoever.


It's clear though that he's not going to play so we might as well send him back

Seriously, why did they even keep him? Idiotic. I mean giving him 7-11 minutes a game, and some PP time would be fine, but this is just stupid. However unsurprising.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

btw can someone explain to me why they're the Maple Leafs and not the Maple Leaves? So dumb.

 

[SA16]

I mean it's obviously not about "getting calls right", or there wouldn't be a limit and/or a penalty. Just get rid of it.

Meh it's about fixing the obvious ones and not taking 5 mins to review whether a skate is a millimeter off the ice.
