GDT: Game 3 - Leafs vs Lightning

[Teeder Keon]

Kid there was looking for some milk

 

[Maplebeasts]

My god guys take a breath and calm down a bit. We're up 3-1 and have been the better team by a noticeable margin. So much panic in the thread for no reason.

 

[All Mod Cons]

You mean the guys leading the league in playoff scoring?

Yeah.

 

[mcleex]

If Leafs lose this game they only have themself to blame. Numerous PP chances to put it away

 

[The Kessel Run]

I’d love to see Willy randomly get a fire under his ass again.

 

[LadyLala]

I swear our big guys get stage fright. It seems to really get to them when the pressure gets higher and higher.

They have no clue what frightening is. Try being the fans watching this year after year.

 

[2 Slick]

Tavares needs to get off the first PP unit

Yeah. he can't even score a goal with some of the best players in the NHL. He's essentially a face-off specialist at this point.

 

[djdev]

on the road is where u need your depth to score since the coach can set matchups against our 1st line, so far its been good

 

[SeaOfBlue]

i know he scored on the pp, but we really need a dman with a shot back there.

Well I think part of it is that you have 40 mill worth of forwards out there... You probably don't want your defenseman shooting all that often.

That being said, there are times when he can probably shoot for a Tavares tip, but they want to cover Rielly more than Marner right now it seems.

 

[Jmo89]

If they get out of the period 3-1 I think they'll finish things in the 3rd. Just don't let Tampa score another one this period.

 

[therealkoho]

marner is the best player on both teams this series

Best player in the playoffs maybe

 

[Apotheosis]

This is critical thinking without saying f*** this powerplay it sucks. Thanks. Legit thank you.

LOL thank you. The only time the powerplay looked threatening was the 5 on 3 set piece game 1 when they used that exact set up so couldn't hurt to try it.

We are Leaf fans, we are always on edge.

He needs to be on another team with all the NOTHING he is contributing to our Leafs !!!

its about the "threat" of the shot

 

[All Mod Cons]

Just please get out of this period

 

[keonsbitterness]

Which by the very purpose of the PP is considered a failure.

Gotta get enough small victories to earn the big ones

 

[LadyLala]

I’m dying here.. jfc

 

[tmlms13]

Man really needed to take advantage of the PPs. It's rare we get so many it's going to kill us.

 

[Mickey Marner]

If we survive this thunderstorm, the team owes Campbell dinner

 

[SprDaVE]

This is gonna be 3-2 very soon

 

[Budz22]

Someone please bring Colton back down to earth.

 

[Alerion]

Cmon Leafs, get out of the period

 

[LeafsFan89]

Man this team. I hate this team so much. But I want them to win so badly.

Dodged a bullet there
