Pre-Game Talk: Bruins - Leafs, Game 4

[Jojalu]

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.

Still better than every other team.

Leafs have had every game within an hour. Rest of the league is bouncing around different timezones playong at crazy times

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Our team is supposed to have such good offense that it overcompensates for D and G so I'm going to need to see over 3 goals for the first time lol

 

[Evilhomer]

Exactly right.

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

Pastrnak is mostly only useful on the power play in the playoffs.

Central start times Saturday on TBS are 1, 4,7,and 9:30. I would prefer 12, 3, 6 and 9

This isn't pretty.
It really is all about Matthews and passengers this year.

 

[hoglund]

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


Huh?

I must've posted in the wrong forum, the ads block the view of typing, which didn't help.

All good. Switch to Brave and you'll have no issues.

Call me crazy but I start Woll or Jones next game.

Full credit to Sammy for an excellent couple periods in Game 2, but Game 1 and 3....You can't let in goals like that. Especially when we famously can't score.

It's obviously not all on Sammy but we can't be letting in back breakers like that.

Yeah this was true all year, except it was Matthews, Willy and the passengers.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Yeah this was true all year, except it was Matthews, Willy and the passengers.

Except for the final month of the season. Willy had his feet up in first class sipping Martini's.

 

[GoonieFace]

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.

Probably no different than any other team, we just don’t hear about it or they don’t disclose it.

 

[OVO16]

I expect Willy back for this one. The extra day of rest should help the team

I still don't want brodie in the lineup but I have a feeling that's the change Keefe is gonna make today in practice

You're crazy.

 

[BLONG7]

OK guys how can you neutralize The Rat Marchand?
Please give this guy a tougher game!!
Good player yes, but does not play the game the right way.....................hand him his own a$$ !!!!

 

[SprDaVE]

but at least we hit good

 

[Commander Clueless]

Crazy.....good?

 

[BayStBullies]

Pastrnak is mostly only useful on the power play in the playoffs.

If the Leafs had that they'd have a lot of success.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

but at least we hit good

Yep hopefully we returns on that investment. We shouldn't need to choose between hits and goals. Need both to win.

 

[Jmo89]

If Willy draws in, he scores on the first pp.

 

[Evilhomer]

If the Leafs had that they'd have a lot of success.

The Leafs power play will come around. Boston will keep taking a lot of penalties because of the Leafs forecheck and pressure.

 

[ashs]

Win or lose. Leafs 4 life.

Sounds like a guy we should target then!

Marner+ for Pasta?

 

[yubbers]

Have you picked out your tie?

Leafs hoody and ballcap all day

You don't need hits to win. You do need goals, and defense, and goaltending, but we were unfortunately more focused on hits.
