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

[frizzer1]

Sandin is slow and small.
A bad combo for a d man.

 

[saffronleaf]

My question is: will we get that respected handshake

maybe they'll even kiss the hand

 

[Nineteen67]

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.

Probably, but so do the Bruins.

 

[MSZ]

My question is: will we get that respected handshake

No.

Last year was a fluke because Vasi had a sub .900 series.

 

[Leaffan1991]

McCabe, Gavrikov, Peeke, Murphy. Please get one Dubas

 

[CelticDruid]

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.

Cool aid I'm drinking?

You need to drink more.

 

[DarkKnight]

Yikes Simmonds.

 

[Petrus]

Oh my Nylander, possibly most skilled leaf ever

Nylander has been awesome.

keefe is a dumbf*** as well.

Why would you start two wingers who are shit at draws and lose posession in favour or william and mitch.

Agreed. It should be Tavares to gain possession and then switch it up.

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.

Sandin just does not have the size to absorb a heavy aggressive forechecking game.

 

[leafsfan5]

We really rolling Samsonov/Murray vs Vasilevskiy in round 1

I'm gonna kms

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

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

But glad that Sammy has won almost every home gezame he has played though he is not robot. And a funny guy

 

[hamzarocks]

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

Hopefully doesn't come to that

Would wonder which era hurt and disappointed mote

The Kessel era or the maythews one

 

[Leafs87]

D is way to small and can’t handle a forecheck

 

[Stephen]

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.

This team doesn't have a high pressure gear. They seem to do well in a low pressure, positive environment but the moment there's a feeling of a big game situation and they seem to hit a brick wall offensively and their cheap parts start making costly errors.

 

[BTP]

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

yeah. end of the day im not putting too much stock in this game.

this aint the team we'll be icing in game 1.

We are a different beast with 34 in the line up. Add a LW at the deadline and even more so.

this game, quite frankly, means absolutely nothing.

 

[saffronleaf]

yup, this is exactly it.

matthews is probably going to ask for 16m per year with player's option or something

 

[Confucius]

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

View attachment 644950

3rd best team in the league, if regular season doesn’t matter don’t sweat this meaningless game. It’s a glass half empty World then.

 

[Racer88]

Hahahaha they just showed Dubas taking notes like he actually has some sort of idea what he’s doing. Lol

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

We really rolling Samsonov/Murray vs Vasilevskiy in round 1

I'm gonna kms

Bunting and simmy finna run vasiljevski over. Bruise him a bit.

 

[Cleetus]

yup, this is exactly it.

matthews is probably going to ask for 16m per year with player's option or something

hopefully for that much he walks

 

[ULF_55]

3 of the goals are on Samsonov.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

But glad that Sammy has won almost every home gezame he has played though he is not robot. And a funny guy

This is Boston though

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

Simmonds go punch someone (Marchand, McAvoy, Bergeron...).

 

[mcleex]

Hahahaha they just showed Dubas taking notes like he actually has some sort of idea what he’s doing. Lol

Legit what is he even jotting down?

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Dubas' phone better be on fire tonight

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

Matthews is freakin furious with some model at the hotel now.
