GDT: Foligno and Andersen Return Tonight in OTT | 8pm Sportsnet

[TheGreatOne11]

I know where his heart is. But if we go on a SERIOUS run. People have changed their minds before.

Foligno could stay. And i would be all for it.

 

[Antropovsky]

My god.... this color guy doesn't stop talking haha. My ears!

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

All this tells me is that Andersen should be our 3rd stringer come the playoffs.

It tells me that for sure but it tells me two more things:

- Whoever let the terrible powerplay drag on for this long needs to go. And I don't mean Malhotra. Someone needed to step in weeks ago to take control of this situation.

- If Gary Galley calls any of our games during the playoffs well...well I just don't know. I'll be very sad at a minimum.

 

[Kiwi]

True but they are treating it like a nothing game.

It isn't easy, sports require emotion but when you don't have any it's extremely hard to manufacture

a

Don't hate him, he just has been a bad goaltender for a very long time now and some people just can’t accept that. Stats don’t lie. The eyeball test tells everything.

again, i never even gave my opinion on him as a goaltender. im justing speaking about this game specifically.
hes been mediocre for over a calendar year, but when players in front of him arent doing their jobs they need to be called out too, not just andy.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Rielly can't even complete a basic pass at this point...
What the hell happened to him?

Fortnite.










Lol i dunno, i feel his hockey IQ has somehow dropped? He just makes dumb plays. If i learned he somehow has been playing through an injury i would feel much better.

f*** Tkachuk

All the Tkachuks are 6' 2", 250 pounds. And the men are even bigger!

 

[Gallagbi]

They don't take the time to set up properly, and they need people grinding in front of the net.

We pass the puck behind the goal line on the PP more than any other team in the league.

Funny, if anything I find were too set and don't use the low zone enough. We need to be more active and go high low to open up, but I do think we get overly focused on a single asset and try to execute that instead of understanding the whole purpose which is to open up lanes and areas.

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

Damn, Muzzin is killing it lately 2 points again tonight.

 

[Coachcorner]

Our savvy vets simmonds and foligno treally thuggin it up tonight again HARD.

 

[Stephen]

Really like that Foligno snarl. Hope we can find a way to keep him for another year.

Can't argue with your concern either - there's a lot wrong.

Man Gally is drunk… his colour commentary is horrifically inaccurate

 

[Griffin76]

Galley just getting it all out now cause he probably won't see any playoff games.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Man Gally is drunk… his colour commentary is horrifically inaccurate

But he's still better than Greg Millen.

 

[Marshy]

Andersen has grabbed the backup job tonight boys ....






























.....for the Marlies.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Launched.

when teoscar gets ahold of one... man is it pretty

wrong thread. Galley sucks

 

[socko]

I'm not a fan of how Marner's handled the PP for most of the year, but he does show creativity and promise. Not sure what the top end of Rielly is on the PP, but damn well sure of the bottom end. That's why he takes more blame and then the simply blown SHG by him won't help

Sandin is clearly a more cerebral player but nowhere near the skater that Rielly is. I think they might be better once setup with Sandin but Rielly is more likely to stop the clears and better at gaining the zone. I'm fine trying anything though. They don't make adjustments. Just keep running the same thing that the entire league has figured out how to stop. One thing I do like is Nylander in front of the net. That should be a staple IMO.

What I dont understand is how when Rielly was taken off PP1 it didnt suddenly start lighting it up. In fact it looked nearly the same.

 

[go_leafs_go02]

Anderson looks so out of place tonight.. man...

 

[Carltons Cup]

It's more entertaining watching paint dry than tuning into this game.

 

[Mopar]

Galley: Perfectly placed shot by Zaitsev.

Didn't look like he got all of it and off a Leaf sweater. Brutal. I've been laughing out loud at how innacurate it's been all game.

What if he scores two in the 3rd?

 

[stakesishigh]

Breaks my heart that we finally get a competent defense and our #1 d and #1 goalie lose their ability to play hockey.

Maybe well get Galley and Hughson.
