Pre-Game Talk: Bruins - Leafs, Game 4

[Squiffy]

Pre-game time, let’s go.

Willy Styles back we think? Roberson sits?

Brodie back in? My guess is yes but don’t know who is out? Easy answer is Lilly but somehow I guess not, going Benoit. Who knows?

Swayman? Ullmark?

Ok let’s discuss.


P.s. I’m not hellbent on gdt for this one, if anyone has something sure. But it has to be Bob Cole heavy. That said, I’ll take otherwise, the BwO brain trust is cooking.

I am looking forward to the game!

Apparently Matthews was playing through an illness last game. This season it seems like our team has an illness going through it every other weak. All that money on sports nutrition department and medical staff and all that and this seems to be happening more than any other team in the league.

wish it were tonight at 7 instead of tomorrow at 8

With Matthews playing through an illness and the possibility of Nylander returning I think the 2 days benefits the team more.

Also gives the team time to work on their terrible PP and PK.

 

[leafs in five]

true enough, I'm just selfish

 

[yubbers]

I never win anything

But I just won 2 tickets to game 4. LET'S GO!

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Hopefully Nylander plays tomorrow because you could argue not having him has been the difference

 

[A1LeafNation]

Imagine fans getting tuned up by the media bc this is their pump up anthem and the team hilariously fails for the past 7 years.

 

[Nineteen67]

We can blame Bad Luck Yubbers if they lose.

8 ET? Why?

 

[Fogelhund]

Go Leafs Go.
Powerplay.. need goals.
Penalty Kill.. need stops
Goalie.. make the easy saves.
Megabucks players.. lead the team, be the best players on the ice.

Play hard, for the whole game, pay attention to details.

If we win, it's because we showed up, played our games, and our Special teams won the battle on this day. If we lose, it's probably our own fault.

Critical game, just win. Want to win more than them bad news Bears.

Oh, and could someone please run over the rat.

 

[Jojalu]

Fix the special teams for f@#$ sakes!

 

[hoglund]

It's tough luck that they could only play 5 innings and losing by 1 run. They had no chance to come back.

Tonight would be good but tomorrow is fine. 8pm start I'm not a fan of at all.

Huh?

 

[hamzarocks]

Lose this and series over

Whether its 5, 6 or 7 doesnt matter. Leafs cant beat boston 3 times in a row facing elimination

Must win, seasom deciding game

Get in there and tear that place up! Do it for your friends here at HFBoards.

 

[Gallagbi]

From a team POV I like the break to work on special teams and reflect.

From a fan perspective I wish we played tonight

Have you picked out your tie?

Huh?

I don't mind 8 on a Saturday. If they win.

We need Marner and Nylander to make an impact before Pasta does. Hard to believe we are down 2-1 to this Bruins team without Pasta doing much damage and most of our foot soldiers stepping up.

Exactly right.

Somehow Pasta still has picked up 3 points althoufh he has looked invisable outside the goal he scored

 

[robertmac43]

Nylander being back would be massive.

Hopefully the PP clicks a little more this game. If it doesn't Keefe needs to step in and have Boucher mix it up.

With Matthews playing through an illness and the possibility of Nylander returning I think the 2 days benefits the team more.

Also gives the team time to work on their terrible PP and PK.

thing is with the talent on this team we shouldn't really need to practice too much on the PP, just let there talent come out. the problem could be over coaching the PP and there thinking to much or forcing things there being asked to do rather then just let there talent take over.

also the PK is bad because the players on the team are not good at it, and two days of practice are not going to improve it. doesn't mean you shouldn't practice it but that is a player personnel issue that was never addressed in the summer or trade deadline.

Start time very odd. They could have started the vegas game an hour earlier there and start normal staurday night in Toronto. Not sure what experience the network is trying to accomplish. I guess non-stop hockey but thats late.
