GDT: Florida @ Toronto - Wednesday 7:30 pm - The Fight for First

[horner]

Very disappointed with Mathews and Marner p***ys

 

[Mr_Fun]

Are Leafs fans suddenly seeing the true worth of JT?

As long as he can get near the net hes going to score goals. He's still a bit of a machine in that department.

 

[yubbers]

Man...it is gross outside.

 

[therealkoho]

Bennett and Marchand instead of Marner

Dreamland ain't either one of those guys coming here

 

[yubbers]

Knies and Mathews

Matthews can't win a board battle to save his life right now. Support him with a guy that can enable a f***ing cycle

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Need to step it back up in the 3rd. That 2nd period was unacceptable given how much of Florida’s lineup is out and they played last night.

Barkov, Tkachuk and Ekblad is most of their core

 

[Strangle]

This feels like a standard Leafs fan reaction. It should not be anything close to 5-1 Florida. Stolarz is hardly stealing this game. He has been good, as expected, but so has the rest of the team. It's a standard grind it out game. It's been a fine game for both teams.

The goalies job is to make saves.

We could say it should have been 4-0 Leafs in the 1st period because out of the first 9 shots the leafs put on bobrovsky, 4 of them were great chances

 

[PanniniClaus]

shouldn't we be outplaying a tkachuk-less barkov-less ekblad-less b2b florida team?

I wouldn't say we've done that so far. It seems like a fair game, but they are missing almost a line and a top 4 dman

I believe our resident Florida Scout said they would be half assing tonight and certainly would be hard pressed to compete with a bunch of injuries. Paraphrasing, but should be an easy win...Tampa is the team to worry about if I recall the words correctly.

 

[horner]

Mathews and Marner are bringing down Knies

 

[PromisedLand]

Switch Marner with Mcmann. Do something with the 1st line

I'd put a shit disturber on Matthews' RW and not mess with the 2nd line

They don't have barkov, tkachuk and ekblad and Leafs are still struggling to keep pace or impose their will. if I was Berube I'd take that as an insult and change it the F up

I'd run the following lines in the 3rd period

let Matthews line bring in the heat use the 3rd line to check.

Knies-Matthews-Domi
McMann-Tavares-Nylander
Jankrok-Laughton-Marner
Lorentz-Kampf-Holmberg

 

[therealkoho]

I think Jennifer did ccocaine tonight

Is it the extra big flair in her nostrils that gives it away?

 

[ER89]

marner against tight checking teams is invisible as is matthews

Agreed.

 

[PromisedLand]

Bennett and Marchand instead of Marner

I'd rather pay these two rats combined 12 AAV than marner alone 13+AAV

To be honest, this looks like every Florida game I have watched in the last several weeks. If the trend holds, they will give up a goal or two in the third period because their defense struggles later into games by virtue of having to play their third pair (neither of whom would be in the lineup if Ekblad and Kulikov were playing). Jones is having to play too many minutes, and it shows late in games.

 

[yubbers]

She just seemed jacked up in that intermission

 

[Antropovsky]

It's the 3rd... and Marner has been nowhere near the net the first 2 periods.

Watch his first few 3rd period shifts. Hes going to stand in front of the net.

It's like clockwork, he chickens out of the 1st and 2nd but forces himself there in the 3rd.

Thinking Berube yells at him ever second intermission lol.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

The hell happened to Kampf?

 

[yubbers]

No Kampf? Game over. lol

Berube did that 3 times this season for 10mins. He isn't a very bright coach tbh

 

[Cleetus]

nice turnonver by the rat there lol

 

[therealkoho]

No kampf double shift Mattews

 

[Larcos_Unal]

No, we should expect that a guy making that much money may want to drive his own line without needing a bailout

 

[Confucius]

What was that JT 2nd in the NHL in puck battle wins. Oh yeah 3.5 x 3

 

[yubbers]

No, we should expect that a guy making that much money may want to drive his own line without needing a bailout

Sure. But the top line is useless 5v5. SO let's try to remedy that
