GDT: ECQF Game 1 | Ending Edwards | Leafs vs Bruins 8pm EST | SN, CBC, TVAS, NESN

[GoonieFace]

80s had some weird movies. This was one of the best. Predator kept me awake a lot of nights

Big trouble in little china still the best movie ever

When that guy blew up like a balloon was one of my favourite movie moments when I was kid, that and Large Marge from Pee Wee

"The goons are terrible, and would be costing us the game if not for the posts, but at least they hit."

Morgs, we'd be up in the game if our uber skilled superstars were producing and yet here we are.

"Leafs looked terrible"

"Samsonov sucks"

"Bruins dominated"

f*** off.

 

[Budz]

He's been one of the worst...

What the hell are you watching???

 

[Xecross]

Lilj is on the ice for a lot of scoring chances because Keefe has Edmundson pinching for some f***ed up reason AND because the Bruins have two guys watching him for breakouts Gardiner-style, because Edmundson isn't great at breakouts.

This. It's more on Edmundson than Lily.

Lily is having a better game than Rielly IMO

 

[Jojalu]

We had maybe two scoring opportunities.

What are you seeing that I didn’t?

Swayman made that huge save early. Then maybe Matthews had a chance late.

 

[bax]

When we hits posts or crossbars the threads are full of those aren’t shots on nets so it doesn’t matter. Let’s try to at least be a little consistent

 

[DarkKnight]

...

Well, I hope he scores the game winner but like most of the team they kinda disappeared in the middle 16 mins of that period.

Need more from that line.

Sure, his game has been nice and compact so far and he's engaged. But ya, need more zone time that line.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Not a great first period, and we gave up an unnecessary 2 on 1 goal chasing #hitz, but the fact that it's not the 4-0 it could be gives me some hope.
Gotta score on this 4 on 3, and then it's a brand new game.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

i also am watching TNT but im assuming CBC panel ?

Yeah, the Gem stream is more reliable than my other options.

Peewee Herman is so under appreciated

 

[ruaware41]

Matthews and Marner gotta stop those terrible cross ice passes trying to enter the zone. Just dump it in

 

[yubbers]

you want him to stop the misses too?

Just shows pucks are getting through. I'd like him to move laterally and not end up on the hashmarks ffs.

 

[Stephen]

The hitting is insurance for the later games but can't compromise position

Dewar has been particularly bad positionally. Seems like he gets too busy with the shift work on a regular basis in the ozone, gets stuck on a Bruin and forgets to back check.

 

[ashs]

Morgan plays better bruised, let's see which comes out in the 2nd

 

[Doublerum1975]

I always forget hitting is legal, but hitting and they fall down is the penalty.

It’s called crossheck learn how he rules

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

I feel molested after watching that Kit Kat commercial

"The goons are terrible, and would be costing us the game if not for the posts, but at least they hit."

Your favourite GM missed the playoffs.

Its period 1, of game 1. Chill with the biased take

 

[crump]

Somehow we are still only 1 shot away from tying this. Get refocused, fix the bonehead mistakes like not covering a pinch and reversing to nobody. Play a simple game and get in there. They have a 4 on 3 to start the period. They can be right back in this.

 

[theTTC]

Domi, best Leafs player so far. Very important he is challenging Marchand.

Love Max. The big question is, will 17 teammates play win-or-die just like him?

 

[Blanka]

[CelticDruid]

Yeah, the Gem stream is more reliable than my other options.

You can pee on TV now?

What a gig.

 

[notbias]

Morgs, we'd be up in the game if our uber skilled superstars were producing and yet here we are.

They are playing well and driving play... the first goal was from over-hitting... I said in another post, I think it was just early excitement and Reaves has been playing smart recently, but we are down because of it.

Not sure the issue is the stars, they've had some looks, and it's also only one period.

What the hell are you watching???

Well, when he is on the ice they are being out chanced...

I'd say where the chances were given up are most concerning. We need to tighten up in out zone.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Double Reaves minutes tonight, he has been a one man wrecking ball. Reminds me of a Yuskevich or Gary Roberts the way he just took the body.

As long as he avoids penalties, this will pay dividends in games 3 and 4.
