GDT: Apr 24 7:30pm - BwO and the Leafs vs TB: Freaking Game 4. Baby: ROR? No, the real hero so far is Squiffy's liver

[pcruz]

Would be nice to swap Nylander and Marner for the last few shifts to see if momentum changes

What the f***.

You want to promote Nylander up the line for his good play?

 

[Budz]

What is the game plan? Don’t lose?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

1 and 17 when leading a series. Jesus

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Plays are dying on our D's sticks in the offensive zone. Sure, it's nice to have defensively responsible D, but we have too many of them with zero offense in their game

Doesn't help that half of them are not fast

 

[htpwn]

Going on 5 periods being unable to generate offensive pressure.

 

[DarkKnight]

Try Lafferty on the JT line, it isn’t working.

 

[Stephen]

I will be shocked if leafs get even 15 shots on goal the entire game

They look like they want to play a November "process game" and got punched in the nose early.

 

[GojuLeaf]

How are they putting up so much pressure? It's crazy the leafs look slow as molasses

 

[Leaf Rocket]

move on from first period and then come out blazing in second period because wow we are just lifeless atm.

 

[IPS]

Don't get me wrong, it's on the coaching for systematic changes to the PP and such, but this putrid effort can never be put on coach. These guys have to want to care about winning. They're getting outworked in all three zones.

Agreed.

These guys look like they're playing at 60% right now.

 

[sxvnert]

Kerfoot can do something anytime, guy is invisible.

Kerfoot is popular in the dressing room so......

 

[MSZ]

We are playing not to lose I think

Playing scared, like the previous 6 years.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Were we not playing our best hockey with Matthews and Marner driving their own respective lines? If Marner doesn't want to drag JT from the the nether lands than give him O'Rielly. We're a one and a half line team right now.

 

[Confucius]

Dump and lose avoids getting hit.

Dump and change, like back when we were a last place club

 

[DopeyFish]

Get dump and chasing...

what do you think the 1 in the 1-3-1 does? just sits there? there's a reason why it's such an annoying system

 

[Macallan18]

Ok no more goals this period, own the second one

 

[HockeyVirus]

Jarnkrok - Matthews - Nylander
Tavares - ROR - Marner
Do it

 

[JadedLeaf]

wow 1 and 17 when leading a series.

 

[Havoc]

I think it's almost time for knies-matthews-marner

 

[Wendelstache]

switch Willy and Mitch for different look you dummy, take advantage of your elite guys.

 

[Legion34]

I thought the leafs outplayed Tampa last series.

This series so far has been all Tampa for about 75% of it.

Won’t beat vasy tonight. He will definitely get a a shutout

Vasi never loses 3 in a row. No chance the leafs score.

Shutout

 

[Antropovsky]

Matthews lack of engagement in all this is so disappointing. To think. Other 6'3" guys competing hard and making life hard. Snap out of it.

Leafs play a non physical skill game for 80% of the year.... and now they are confused how to win playoff hockey. Are anyone of us surprised? The fancy dipsy doodle plays don't work.

Can't wait until the playoffs to play playoff hockey.

 

[thewave]

Dubas, you're on in 3, take a sip of your water from your Tim's prop cup.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Us being 1-17 in the playoffs while leading in a series is such an absolutely ridiculous stat. Like to the point it is hilarious.

 

[Burnie97]

Tampa does the same play over and over. Dumps in and puts it to side boards then back to point for a shot and rebound.

Not sure why they can't defend it better its easy to see. Or they come in and do the old Engvall curl back to the point. Stop letting it be so easy.

As for the offense... just f***ing go for it. This team always plays there best when they attack. Don't sit back.
