GDT: Game #4 Leafs host Rangers 7pm ET- Auston Returns!

[therealkoho]

Tavares and Marner are f***ing shit

But Willie and Matty missed open nets

 

[BigGulpsEh]

Gotta love some posters already shitting on matthews. Some of you are pathetic

 

[Lemontree]

Tavares is f***ing useless. Buy him out.

Not before Marner. Tavares works his ass off to retrieve pucks and engages in battles.

 

[hockeynorth]

Observations so far:

A) Marner feels completely dependent on Matthews at this point, he just defers to him nonstop, and when Matthews isn't there he seems useless
B) Muzzin is slowing down
C) Dermott and Sandin are progressing nicely as a pair
D) Campbell is legit
E) Nylander is going to have a huge year
F) Kampf is a much better player than I thought
G) ALL HAIL BUNTING

The explosion of goals is coming against San Jose

 

[Apex Predator]

Happens way too often as a Leafs fan

why is that? Honestly it’s not a coincidence anymore. The way they play or something else. There has to be a reason.

 

[therealkoho]

Did anyone else see that Marner was gassed after a 20 second shift at the end? He is such a hard player to like right now.

That's because he had been on for 55 seconds came off for about 5 and got sent back out

So he’s another Hyman?

Then why go back on? Everyone and their mother knows that Marner isn’t particularly a great athlete.

 

[TeddyBare]

Matthews was getting Pissed Marner kept exiting the zone in OT

he literally exited the zone 3x with Matthews down low and he kept having check up

 

[Lemontree]

So he’s another Hyman?

No, he wins faceoffs and plays centre. Are some people here angling to get rid of Tavares, you realize Kerfoot would be the 2nd line C.

Too bad he can’t keep up with anyone anymore.

 

[Lemontree]

Too bad he can’t keep up with anyone anymore.

Marner isn’t slow but he can’t do a damn thing to drive any scoring chances. Crap on Tavares all you want but he is actually doing things required to win hockey games when he isn’t scoring.

 

[IronHalen]

But 11 mill cap space though. For literally anything. It'd be hard to find a worse way to allocate that much money..

 

[johnnybbadd]

With 11 million in cap space you can get a good 2nd line centre and upgrade another position too.

 

[Lemontree]

Who? Who are you going to get? The cap hit that is killing the team is Marner. He is getting really close to Eberle level play.

We have to all be honest. Marner and Tavares are both problems. I agree that Tavares can bring more to the table if he’s not scoring. I don’t see how this team is going to score nearly the amount of goals that they have the past few years. They should embrace the fact that Campbell is going to keep them in games and play from the net out. It will mean that all of the star players are going to score 20-30 less points then we are all used and I think that their egos won’t let them play like that even if it’s best for the team.
