GDT: Blues at Leafs 7:00pm Sat Feb 19th CBC

[MoreMogilny]

We looked like junk. Can’t push on decent teams that pressure us physically. No secondary scoring in this one.

Worries me for playoff time

Everyone says we need defence. We need another scorer just as badly

 

[saffronleaf]

better team won

 

[MSZ]

Damn, JT is like a 60FPS video in 24FPS mode

I'm a 144hz guy now. Even 60 looks slow to me.

 

[Doublerum1975]

One missed call changed this whole game good job refs

 

[keonsbitterness]

Better team tonight won.

 

[Azail]

Yeah that was great how about all the games lately where he’s let in at least 4+ goals.

Sorry I forgot where he is responsible for tying up sticks in front of the net. Or ya know, covering the open man cross crease. I forgot that unless Campbell has a shutout, hes the blame, my mistake.

 

[34]

Come on! One more goal for the touch down. Lets see it!

This team are sellers at the deadline. Time to accept this is a failed build and strip it down. Start the rebuild.

 

[LastOne2100]

Oh I thought you were talking about us making backup goalies look like vezina contenders. Nevermind then.

No, mostly that our goaltending, when compared to what any NHL backup should be able to do, has looked brutal.

My mistake about this particular game is that Husso is not a random backup .

Now that's also the fault of our defense being brutal, but still.

 

[Stephen]

yep, never the guys in front of him. Its all goalie and nothing but.

Team defense and goaltending are a partnership. Sometimes the goaltending makes the defense look better by bailing them out. Sometimes team defense are the invisible structure in front of the goalie and make them look super human. Sometimes they both break down on the same play and you have a night like tonight.

Wtf are you talking about ?

 

[Sniper99]

I mean Campbell has objectively been bad since the New Year...are you trying to say he hasn't been?

Not every game like most people are making this sound. Letting Campbell go would be foolish.

 

[Gallagbi]

It was only secondary scoring. Top line didn't score a goal

 

[wingman75]

The first line looks good, just no finish, unfortunately. I'd throw JT in there. literal no-show.

both please. But fully agree guys like Mikheyev, Engvall, Simmonds, Kampf… they aren’t doing much offensively. Specifically Mikheyev and Engvall.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Come on! One more goal for the touch down. Lets see it!

They already got the TD

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Only time I noticed Tavares tonight was when he fell on his ass turning the puck over nearly leading to an EN goal.

11 million dollars absolutely WASTED on this plug. Even worse, we even gave him the C.

 

[rdogg]

Lets face it. The Leafs will face either FLA or TB in the 1st round and will get rinsed because of goaltending.

Better luck next year

 

[thusk]

It's the effort and skating ability. Open your eyes. Liljegren has a give a shit meter out there and is still a rookie. Muzzin either doesn't give a shit or doesn't deserve to be out there lately.

Yes hes a good skater but he still a 6th dman offensive dman right now, make too many risky play and i pretty sure toronto will trade for a dman and liljegren will not play on playoff' except for an injury

But im agree muzzin playing really bad, he pinch too much right now and get caught out of position too much.

Muzzin didnt help liljegren and liljegren didnt help muzzin both was awful defensive side

 

[Confucius]

Why is Dubas just not trading the first for Vasilevskiy. It's so easy.

/s

Our D is not very good. You can see it all game many many grade A chances for the Blues. We have to fight tooth and nail just to try and get our stick on the puck infront of their net.

 

[Marshy]

When you can't afford depth like the Blues have your stars have to be difference makers. Campbell can't be the 2nd best goalie out there either.

 

[saffronleaf]

husso has been playing lights out this season

binnington is actually their #2

well at least we lost to the best

 

[Racer88]

Lets face it. The Leafs will face either FLA or TB in the 1st round and will get rinsed because of goaltending.

Better luck next year

Or the year after or the year after or ……well you get it

 

[MoreMogilny]

It was only secondary scoring. Top line didn't score a goal

Wouldnt call our 3rd/4th best player and our leader in the last playoffs secondary scoring

Need the bottom six to be able to contribute and there’s not enough talent there.

 

[Dave92]

Ya I guess we will be able to get better than this

GP	W	L	OT	GAA	SV%
35	23	7	3	2.33	.924

Stats don't tell the whole story. He put up good numbers in the playoffs but after his shutout in game 4 he was god awful in 5,6,7 , made 1 save in two overtime games and gave up a garbage goal in a tied game 7.

 

[Gallagbi]

Sorry I forgot where he is responsible for tying up sticks in front of the net. Or ya know, covering the open man cross crease. I forgot that unless Campbell has a shutout, hes the blame, my mistake.

I mean a respectable save% is a fair ask most nights, no?
