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

[Dirty Dan]

Samsonov is such a loser. Every time they get some momentum you can count on him to let in a goal.

They better hope Woll figures things out.

First shot went far side post on a cross crease, second completely screened. This is the goaltending they expected to get

 

[Divine]

Leafs #1 priority needs to be to get a goalie.

Look at the difference in confidence and rebound control you get in Swayman vs Samsonov.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

The contrast between Swayman and Samsonov is huge

Have we even had one blast from the point this entire game ?

 

[Blanka]

I still think we're the better team out there. The difference is goaltending.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Swayman stopping everything in sight our guy lets in an untipped point shot.

 

[Jmo89]

Knies made a bad mistake there but Boston has made mistakes too. Their goalie actually makes saves though, including the first scoring chance of the game.

 

[Nineteen67]

They need to try to win one shift before the night’s done. Build off that.

 

[ashs]

Sami should've had that

 

[frizzer1]

C'mon Tavares FFS

He can’t finish.
Bert should be there.

 

[theTTC]

8 years of this same hot garbage. Thanks for the living hell, Shanahan. Time to tune into the Haney-Garcia fight card.

 

[The Management]

Honestly not sure how you fix this group. Highly touted offense once again a dry well when the spotlight heats up.

 

[TheShape]

As expected, Swayman is dialled in.

 

[Leafsfan74]

4th Line for Leafs has been the most dominant so far for them,

 

[fahad203]

I really wish Penguins made the playoffs. Maybe then the Dubas fans would not be here

 

[LastOne2100]

Samsonov is the best goalie we have. Woll would get lit up worse.

Goaltending has been this franchise's biggest issue for a long time and exactly why we have no hope of making a deep run.

 

[saffronleaf]

so many turnovers by our immobile dmen

 

[Jojalu]

The Leafs are playing with rubber sticks.

It sure seems like it. Especially Dewar. My goodness

 

[HolyCrap]

they got goalies, we got a headcase, and AHL backup

Yeah but Evilhomer gaurenteed goal tending will not be a difference maker. Lol.

 

[Leafidelity]

Difference is goaltending

 

[Bomber0104]

Holmberg f***ing useless as always there. Neither closes the gap or gets out of the way so Sammy can see the shot.

Yep.

Option A) attempt to block the shot
Option B) screen my goalie and chicken out

Let’s choose option B

 

[ruaware41]

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.

dewer has fumbled the puck at least 3 times now. If he's nervous of all people I'm not sure why he's had no history with this rivalry

 

[Burnie97]

Again... so far it's goaltending. The basic stats show that story.

 

[Stephen]

The 10 ft passes laterally are the killers. Why they insist on it is insane

In the playoffs you have to go north. That puck might not get there so cleanly and you’re going to have a battle getting there you can’t risk things coming back the other way.

 

[Not My Tempo]

This sport is like 90% just whichever goalie plays better

 

[francis246]

This team sucks large shits

The team doesn’t suck, but man we need goaltending.

It’s the same problem every year. We can’t score and we can’t get a save. You ain’t gonna win that way
