GDT: Game 3 - Leafs vs Lightning

[deprw]

How TF was jack supposed to get that? It was bar down short side? Aside from being the size of Ben bishop what’s he supposed to do?

It was long pass that came behind the traffic. Jack tracked it well but it was perfect shot. Straight out the stick and high enough.

 

[ruaware41]

that's a bad angle shot, got to have that, no excuses

I mean it was a cross creas-ish type of pass and placed perfectly

 

[keonsbitterness]

Hagel DID grab Holl's stick!

 

[crump]

Kampf is a beauty.

it was a bad angle shot, make the save

he doesn't get the benifit the of the doubt after how bad he was from December- Mid April

Marner has 7 shots I think they just said.

Matthews and Bunts need to pick it up big time.

Tavares forsure needs to. Nylander has been alright.

Marner though isn't a problem tonight so far.

It's all on the PP or PK and they haven't scored.

Marner has been probably the better player out of everyone there but it's not saying much. He's had butter fingers and blown tires all night.

Bieksa said Hagel grabbed Holl's stick, not his fault. Still shouldn't put yourself in that position

 

[Wendelstache]

I’m still confused why we benched Lil. Lil at least has offensive upside and has shown growth.

He didn't clear the net on the one goal he was on for in game 2 ...
Dude needs to give out consequences when the opposing player is the blue paint.

I like how we have a playable 4th line. Spezza has been great

 

[Nooodles]

Leafs need to adjust. The Matthews line needs to find something. This is awful.

This is why it would be nice from Tavares to do something

 

[Nylanderthal]

It wouldn’t be a GDT without @Leaffanforlife23 blaming perfect shots on the goalie and @Matthews GQ suggesting a team that’s up 3-1 is awful. Never change boys

 

[leafsfan5]

Yeah the Matthews line is getting absolutely caved in, it's unacceptable

 

[HockeyAndWings]

TB is going to come out strong in the 3rd. Time to close this out.

 

[Al14]

For those that want to know...

Bruins 4 - Canes 1 !!!

 

[TorMapleJays]

Let’s go!!! Pissing off Lightning fans tonight boys.

 

[Shooter2x]

Holl bro no Erik Karlsson wanna be stuff in the 3rd.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Man who cares about why Crosby's skates get dull.

Wtf is this show.

Matthews doesn’t really look himself

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Leafs need to adjust. The Matthews line needs to find something. This is awful.

This is one time the stats back up the eye test. That line has been dreadful. Dare I say 2021 playoffs terrible.

 

[Burnie97]

It's all on the PP or PK and they haven't scored.

Marner has been probably the better player out of everyone there but it's not saying much. He's had butter fingers and blown tires all night.

Marner has still been good.

It's a team game too. We're up 3-1 because of the other lines. Hell I'd love a couple goals from line 1 but they can't do it every game. Pretty close but it's a long playoffs. Still another period.

 

[PromisedLand]

Leafs need to adjust. The Matthews line needs to find something. This is awful.

I'd put Bunting on Tavares line and move either Mikheyev or Engvall on Matthews line.

Bunting can piss off kucherov/stamkos; cooper matching JT line with kucherov and stamkos

Mikheyev/Engvall's speed/big body can help in forecheck and may open up some ice for matthews/marner

 

[sxvnert]

Anyone hear Tavares name this game? Still waiting for some kind of impact other then face off specialist

"But 81%!.........."

 

[Alerion]

Not. Good. Enough.

 

[SprDaVE]

Jesus Christ

That line should not have that much of a hard time. It's on them.

This is 2021 playoff stuff and a big reason why the Leafs lost.
