Criticism isn't allowed?

No disagreeing with Anthrax442 isn't allowed :@

 

[Nithoniniel]

Amazing how many times Matthews is a man among boys.

We've missed that a bit this season compared to last season though. Hasn't been as consistent in that department as he was last year.

 

[FlareKnight]

HFboards challenge: can we go one page without blaming JVR and Bozak for every goal against and world hunger?

Can you prove they aren’t at fault for world hunger?

 

[Bluelines]

not a bad period besides a couple of bad bounces...

Gardiner and Marner needs to make better decisions.

Yup marner flukey tip and gardners clearing pass hit a dead stick behind yhe net and it slowed the puck, cest la vie

 

[fahad203]

Marner doesn't have the confidence or the flash he did for the first 40 games or so last year. He looks a step behind or hesitant

He needs to drive that line, not Bozak or JVR. He needs to hold on to that puck

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

A few more dumb mistakes like leaving Kane alone in front and this game will be out of reach. Gotta smarten up.

 

[Rare Jewel]

The Bozak line lol.

Well done Pouly.

 

[Walshy7]

Bro, what you talking about?

I didnt' suggest that we should have picked up Debrincat. I am just praising Chicago

On top of that, if you followed our drafts, we picked Korshkov on that draft pick, not Dermott. Dermott was the year before

yep you are right there. Id still rather take the chance on korshkov panning out than yet another small scoring forward. ALso Grundstrom too, i prefer the 2 picks we made may not work but both offer something different. the way you wrote it i thought you were complaining we didnt take debrincat, which we see alot of with konecny too my bad

 

[Black hat blue eyes]

Their BACKUP goalie making saves and Andersen can’t find or stop a puck 2 feet in front of him twice.

You mean the one tipped by Marner? It's one period. We are only down 2 . Relax

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Naww Kane is.

I like Matthews as soon as this season tbh. His defensive game is on another level and he might be quite close offensively

 

[htpwn]

The Leafs may have had 3 of the top 5 chances tonight, but down 2-0. First goal against was a fluke, second had some element of luck too.

One of the most frustrating parts has to be seeing guys like Sharp or Wingels fit like a puzzle piece into Chicago's system -- gotta think they come down to earth eventually, right?

Chicago has two solid forward lines and one solid defense pairs. I think we can get to them -- the benefit of being three lines deep.

 

[Leafidelity]

So many goalie masks, I guess that's the new default avatar

 

[Bluelines]

Rangers aren't a bad team but alright

They arent the same Rangers of the last few years, they will be lucky to make the playoffs

 

[Legendary]

Poulin picking the Bozak line...no wonder the Burke era failed so miserably

 

[BertCorbeau]

Optimistic POV - Chicago's best period has been the first period in terms of goals scored, and the Leafs are only down two.

The chances are there for the Leafs they just need to capitalize

 

[Alerion]

Can you prove they aren’t at fault for world hunger?

The onus would actually be on you (or whoever) to prove they are at fault

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Trouble is, the first period is usually our best period too

 

[htpwn]

As always, so glad Poulin is no longer employed with this team.

McPhee's been a train wreck in Vegas. Their best player, and biggest FA signing, is stuck in the AHL and thinking of going back to Russia because GMGM doesn't want to lose some scrub defensemen on waivers.

 

[Pookie]

Will the Andersen critics acknowledge he stopped a breakaway by Sharp?

 

[Gallagbi]

A few more dumb mistakes like leaving Kane alone in front and this game will be out of reach. Gotta smarten up.

The mistake there was made by Hyman at the blueline. You can't turn the puck over with your team transitioning and plenty of outlet options.

Our best period is the first also.

 

[MikeBabcock]

Ship out JVR ASAP and bring in Kappy.

 

[IPS]

Leafs will come out flying this period. Matthews best period of the season coming up.

Good eye.

 

[Walshy7]

over under on babs' patented nylander/brown switch?

if babcock does that while allowing marner to float around for the past 2 games, he should be called out for it. Also Nylander has done nothing wrong tonight, not great just like all forwards but he is making an effort
