GDT: GAME #16 | SENATORS @ LEAFS | RETURN OF JUMBO JOE | 7PM EST TSN

[frizzer1]

Sometimes athletes go over the hill quickly

 

[CanadasTeam]

Something wrong with JT

But he was fine when we were up 5-2

 

[Morgs]

Include nylander there too

too many posters giving him an easy pass
His play is garbage

Its like people are watching a different game. Lmaooooooo

 

[Superstar]

Prime Reimer could steal more games then this version of Andy.

And give you a big smile to boot!

 

[glue]

Thornton and Spezza look better than JT.

Sad but true

 

[The Big Swede13]

2nd line has been horrific

 

[Notsince67]

They didn't. Hodberg has been terrible this season.

Not lately

 

[Teeder Keon]

But he was fine when we were up 5-2

I never said that

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I wouldn't be upset if we moved Willy in a hockey deal for someone who played a more playoff style game in the top 6. JT plays better with 2 grinders on his wing.

Moving Nylander to try to get grinders for Tavares would be horrible asset management

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Im starting to think Nylander doesn’t fit in with this team

True. If he's not dragging our Captain's lifeless corpse what is he good for?

 

[Morbo]

Hogberg embarrassing Andersen tonight.

Imagine letting a guy named Zub posterize you on a breakaway.

Zub, for f***'s sake.

 

[Marshy]

Underhill cancel all your appointments for the next month. Tavares will be in touch.

 

[The Beyonder]

What is with Gerard Butler and disaster movies?

 

[StevenB]

I wouldn't be upset if we moved Willy in a hockey deal for someone who played a more playoff style game in the top 6. JT plays better with 2 grinders on his wing.

He had a career year with Marner on his wing, both Tavares and Nylander just need to wake up and start playing to their abilities

 

[IPS]

Andersen gave the puck away with a stupid play up the boards first. Why not just leave the puck for Brodie instead of putting a suicide pass up the boards with literally no pressure? He started that whole sequence with a terrible decision. Tavares at least flubbed his pass, which is no excuse, but he at least made a play that would have been fine if he did not flub it. Andersen flat out made a play that never should have been made regardless of what happened.

He also got undressed by a guy who is Ottawa's version of Marincin on the third goal.

I mean I don’t disagree with any of this.. still mad at Tavares though..

 

[Chief Berube]

JT and Nylander look like they're struggling to play the 2-way game, not cheating for the offense.

They’re not doing well in any zone... they’re not clicking at all

 

[ItalianLeaf]

Prime Reimer could steal more games then this version of Andy.

Andersen absolutely sucks. I want him off this team asap. Soft goals galore with this guy.

 

[djdev]

At least there is some push back but Hoberg is looking pretty good.

we have been the team pushing for the majority of the game, ottawas goals have all come off of special teams, so hard to be mad at their 5v5 play so far

 

[LastOne2100]

Not lately

If by lately, you mean he did well one game this season, last game, then sure.

 

[saffronleaf]

I wouldn't be upset if we moved Willy in a hockey deal for someone who played a more playoff style game in the top 6. JT plays better with 2 grinders on his wing.

I wouldn't give away our young talent just to give support to our rapidly aging captain. By next season you might need to flank him with Panarin and Rantanen just to get a bit of production out of him.

 

[The Apologist]

But he was fine when we were up 5-2

It couldn't be our fanbase over reacting again....nope, never.

 

[Jojalu]

Fact is, in all sports, no matter how good or bad the teams are, rivalry games always are close. It defies logic, but it is true across the board.

When Ottawa was better than the Leafs, we knocked them out every year.

The Leafs who are better than Ottawa are just .500 against them the past 4 years.

Same with Montreal games. No rhyme or reason

 

[notdoneyet]

Nylander 2nd in ixG and 3rd in xGF% means he's been lifeless? Dudes been probably our 2nd best player today.

Oh give it a rest
Even you cant convince anyone other than yourself that willy has had a good game

talk about grasping at straws lol

 

[Morgs]

Moving Nylander would be horrible asset management

Fixed it for you.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

But he was fine when we were up 5-2

People have been talking about him in this thread since the game started actually. He has looked terrible the whole game.

 

[Gallagbi]

I've learned that people here are idiots when it comes to goaltending.

The only goal which was Andersens fault is the 1st one.

After that every goal has been the team or an individual players fault.

Tavares for the 2nd
The whole pp unit for not noticing the time left on the penalty for the 3rd

Whoever was not in the zone on the empty one time connor brown goal at the end of the PK

I never played anything close to high level of hockey but seriously it's easy to see that Andersen has no chance on the 2nd and 4th goals and the 3rd goal was just a breakaway with a filthy move.

Ah I see vesey was the dumbass on the 4th goal

He's off his angle, out of his net and losing the puck. It's why some of these look like "no chance" opportunities.

Shots come off mistakes, a goalies job is to make saves. Fred is struggling tonight and it's evident

 

[Aashir]

Almost 5-5 there team d isn’t existent
