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

[notdoneyet]

The big leaf d men have to keep hitting the bruin forwards.
It’s not a one game series.
It’s attrition.

Edmundson and lube haven’t had a hit yet

 

[DarkKnight]

Let's get one here.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

First goal against is Reavo's (75) fault mostly , he hits a guy vs. covering for the pinching D (Edmundson, 20).

For the 2 on 1, Lily(37) takes the shooter (very Rielly) and the cross ice pass was successful. Shot goes just under Samsonov's arm.

Goal Attribution:
Reavo (85%) - his man got the 2 on 1.
Edmundson (15%) - you don't pinch when the 4th liners are the forwards.
Lily (5%) - didn't prevent the cross seam pass.

At least Treliving’s team is buying into the playoff attrition game concept. Hit em early, often like a heavy weight fight and make sure they’re mentally and physically not fresh for the series as it progresses. With those Dubas teams it was never enough of this forechecking.

We are down 1 due to hitting everything...

I've liked their game so far, but what are you talking about?

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

I play a millionaire at parties! At least I'd like to.

 

[Stephen]

We hit a ton in the playoffs under Dubas. We just didn't go out of position and allow 2 on 1s to do it, like we did on the first goal against.

We absolutely gave up odd man rushes during the Dubas era, what are you about?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

We had maybe two scoring opportunities.

What are you seeing that I didn’t?

Leafs had more scoring chances 5 on 5

 

[Stephen]

We're down one because none of our stars have scored, what are you talking about?

 

[Bomber0104]

He's been one of the worst...

Yeah Matthews is the best player on the ice but his winger playing with him is the worst.

Great analysis as always from notbias, who’s been cheerleading every single early playoff exit since he’s been a member lol

 

[MSZ]

Damn. Swayman is good.

riiiight... well, it is 4/20 today. Pass the medication.

 

[yubbers]

amazing what happens when you don't drop pass 86 times. You enter the zone quickly. LOL

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Swayman is a big hurdle for the Leafs right now.

 

[pcruz]

Gotta finish on that play there.

 

[Bomber0104]

Leafs had more scoring chances 5 on 5

The Bruins had more crossbars than the leafs had chances.

Watch the game more closely.

 

[TorMapleJays]

I like them brining the puck to the net.

 

[Mess]

Now that's a hockey game.

Felt like the hits were 87 -85 after 1 period.

My Lucky rabbits foot, 4 Leaf Clover and fingers crossed kept the score 1-0 only, with 4 posts/crossbars away from what could be a big hole.

Seems like LUCK is on our side.

 

[Nineteen67]

Lucky to still be in the game.

Make them pay

 

[Stephen]

Really didn't like that Marner shot selection there. 70 goal man to your right for the cross ice and you select the wrister into traffic.

 

[Morgs]

We're down one because none of our stars have scored, what are you talking about?

Would we still be down 1 if a non-star scored?

 

[DopeyFish]

tavares confirms that swaymans pads work

 

[fahad203]

That's what goaltending look like?

 

[notbias]

We're down one because none of our stars have scored, what are you talking about?

It'd be 0-0...

 

[ClarkSittler]

C'mon Tavares FFS

 

[DarkKnight]

Geez he's big in there.
