GDT: Game #3/56: Re-Set. | Toronto @ Ottawa | Jan 16th 2021

[Rob Brown]

Is Robertson hurt

 

[IrishInOntario]

Hyman is 80 percent of this line lol.

Complete ridiculous what they're forcing him to deal with. He can do everything Vesey does, at a higher level than Vesey does it... His demotion maked no sense.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

Oof, you're just a brutal poster. Want to correct me if I'm wrong or just troll?

 

[TimeZone]

At first I wasn't going to wear a mask but then Patrice Bergeron told me to on TV.

 

[Menzinger]

It was a nice shot...doesnt mean he shouldn't be on the third or fourth line

I think longer term he finishes the season in the 3rd line. But from the first couple games think folks have been exaggerating his negatives this season so far

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

Dominate 1st period and end tied. Well, I hope they don't copy and paste the rest of last game too.

 

[Nineteen67]

Matthews could have scored 5 goals already this year.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Surprised Thornton managed to get that passed Murray. Poor goaltending to be fair. Shouldn't get beat with a clean shot from there. But I'll take it.

 

[MattySnipes]

Just like last night, felt like the ice was tilted with the Leafs dominating and hemmed in Ottawa’s zone.

Yes that missed attempt by Marner early sticks out. Anyway. Just keep it up in second and get a few more.

 

[PromisedLand]

Matthews buddy score please

he is saving it for the playoffs especially the cup finals

 

[Pookie]

Such a character team.

a Leaf gets laid out by a team we will play multiple times a year and unless Simmonds is on the ice... no one stands up.

Nothing brings a room together like everyone playing for themselves

 

[Marshy]

How many Nick Paul's are out there are there just two? They're both playing great.

 

[hamzarocks]

Damn miss Kadri, wish he was still with us but didn't work out sadly. Secretly hope he comes back in 2 years to finish the job and win with us but pretty unlikely

 

[TimeZone]

Marner is throwing some checks this game... and showing energy.. this I can get behind.

Shame he hasn't put in the necessary work in the gym to bulk up a few lbs and improve his pathetic shot.

 

[Captain Crunch]

Haven't seen Willy do much tonight.

I think Keefe benched him for a bit.

 

[DarkKnight]

Complete ridiculous what they're forcing him to deal with. He can everything Vesey does, at a higher level than Vesey does it... His demotion maked no sense.

It won’t last don’t worry. It is interesting, whatever line he is on, for years now, has tons of zone time.

 

[cookie]

I heard he shouldn't be on the line tho

An NHL player scoring a goal while playing alongside top tier players isn’t a cause for celebration. How he affects his line mates’ play has been on and off. It’s logical to criticize this given the success previous line combos have had.

 

[Crosscrease14]

Tim Stuetzle gets his name dropped a lot for a guy who spent the period wiping snow off his ass.

Besides Chabot there's not a lot to talk about tbf

 

[IrishInOntario]

It won’t last don’t worry. It is interesting, whatever line he is on, for years now, has tons of zone time.

I'm near convinced that this is about tanking his numbers so that he can't ask for 4 million dollars this off season.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Of course we get no PPs while heavily outplaying them, what a joke

I'm more pissed at that brutal call on Marner.

 

[6ix]

Overall a good period.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

At first I wasn't going to wear a mask but then Patrice Bergeron told me to on TV.

I wish I could say it was a silly commercial to have but then I remember I've read hfboards Covid threads. Sports fans need to hear it more than anyone, they're a very iffy demographic intelligence wise if hfboards is any indication. I know they won't listen.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

No complaints with that period

I mean the Leafs were significantly better for the most part, so I would hope there are no complaints.

Their one goal was pretty much their only really dangerous chance, and it was a puck that landed in the perfect spot for Paul to get a high-danger shot.

 

[TMLeafer]

Hyman was very clearly slewfoot right in front of the referee. Especially after that BS call on Marner.

 

[LeafParade]

I would try Robertson with Hyman/Kerfoot. Give that line someone with a goal threat.
