GDT: Boston @ Toronto - Feb 1st @ 7:30 pm

[PromisedLand]

i don’t see why keefes so reluctant to play nylander and Marner

an intelligent coach would do this to get some offense going.

Montgomery put pasta on the 2nd line starting 2nd period. There is no effing around on boston

 

[hamzarocks]

Saving grace is we don't have 34 playing today

Yeah he's been sub par to his elite stndards but hes still the best centr between both teams.

Us with matthews and a quality LW add takes this to 7

Us without him and a LW upgrade loses in 5ish

 

[Byron Bitz]

f*** if we had won these two recent Boston games in regulation it would have been the difference of 8 points and we would have an excellent chance of passing them and playing a wild card team in the playoffs. Do the Leaf players not realize this? Why did they treat these games like any other game? We needed to empty the tanks.

 

[dubplatepressure]

I don't have an issue with 2 because 2 happened because Lilly didn't get the f*** off the ice.

Goal 1 happened because Marner didn't work hard.

And 3 because of lack of pressure and 4 because Brodie tripped and 5 because of blown coverage…. When do we stop? What’s the point?

 

[Stephen]

Zacha pretty good. Just signed long-term extension for 4.75M per and only 25 years old.

He’s a failed top 10 pick now reinventing himself as a middle 6 forward with size. It’s a common story and similar to what the Leafs were trying briefly with Galchenyuk as a reclamation, or what Colorado did last year with Nichushkin.

nah the matthews of this season is worse than the aging bergeron

 

[Nineteen67]

Not a star, but we need some depth up front.

I swear it’s common sense

If offence is struggling, put the best goal scorer with the best playmaker

 

[BayStBullies]

How much do you think Keefe will enjoy the handshake this year after repeating the same errors?

 

[Cleetus]

no capspace man

quality depth costs cap space and we don't have much

its like having built a 997,000 dollar house with a 1 million dollar budget, that needs another 500k to be livable lol

 

[ToneDog]

Nylander is about - 70 for the night. Not his fault.

Lilly and Sandin can't play together in the playoffs.

Sandin can't handle a forecheck.

Our goalies are a worry

We have little depth

All good though.

No worries. We re in good hands and Dubas will be burning the midnight oil to fix all his mistakes.

 

[Anthrax442]

Im taking my daughter to Disney on Ice on Friday. I think there will be more output from the performers than from our D tonite.

 

[SoftDumpNtheCorner88]

Drink more.

I'll drink whatever, as long as it's not the same kool-aid you're drinking.

We aren't going anywhere with our money tied up in players who forget they're playing in a tough physical sport (one of the only ones that allow fighting). Once playoffs come around and pond style hockey comes to an end and teams get aggressive, this team crumbles like wet toilet paper.

Spread the money around and get players who push back harder when push comes to shove.

 

[Gilmour1996]

If this is what the playoffs will be like, we'll be done in 3 straight (with Game 4 just being another formality, like the first 3)

 

[the squared circle]

No team shakes hands better than the Leafs

 

[Aashir]

If this is what the playoffs will be like, we'll be done in 3 straight (with Game 4 just being a formality)

My question is: will we get that respected handshake

 

[Antropovsky]

How much do you think Keefe will enjoy the handshake this year after repeating the same errors?

In Keefes defense... He keeps sending subtle shots to his leaders that they aren't leaders...but he can't get them to respond. Hes been trying. Hes not the GM.

 

[CelticDruid]

Not enough nights.

And 3 because of lack of pressure and 4 because Brodie tripped and 5 because of blown coverage…. When do we stop? What’s the point?

Goal 3 and 4 can't go in especially 4 Samsonov killed ALL momentum with that goal.

3 and 4 those ones NEED to be stopped

 

[Pebble live]

Hopefully Dubas can find another soft winger in Europe to fill in the top 6 by the dead line.

No team shakes hands better than the Leafs

Practice makes perfect.

 

[DarkKnight]

Lil Sandin as a reliable playoff pair is a big question mark, Keefe might be wise to break them up now and see what we come up with. Just saying, they’re an unknown, great so far, but that’s regular season.

 

[Cleetus]

No team shakes hands better than the Leafs

I mean we only get 1 crack at it a year, but its an elite handshake

 

[BallardEra]

Not enough beers after watching this game.

 

[PromisedLand]

the way i see it; if leafs get tossed out again in the 1st round we r gonna get a fresh start with new management.

To me its a win-win scenario. Leafs either go deep in the playoffs (ideally win the cup) or dubas/keefe (and hopefully shanahan the fraud) are gone
