GDT: Game 44 | Jets @ Leafs | Thu Apr 15 7pm | TSN4

[Teeder Keon]

Out of all the players we picked up, Rittich could be the most important one

Also on a side note. Remember when everyone said we brough in Simmonds to bring energy, tenacity and lead this team

Well I'll be looking forward to that. Lets see if he can hit someone, push back someone, get a bit angry
I'll bet on the side of NO

Totally agree
It’s not good when you bring these players in for their respective talents and they end up not bringing them to the game ..
He’s becoming like that player from LA last year
Mehhhh

 

[The Apologist]

Muzzin and Holl should never be allowed to pinch again. Rielly gets shit on every time he pinches but these 2 never get any flack.

He also gets shit on every time Brodie pinches. Hell, he's getting shit on by some when even these two f*** up now.

 

[LastOne2100]

Were having trouble against a pretty bad team

With Nylander and Matthews out, their forwards are MUCH better than ours.

 

[wingman75]

So the PP is to a point where it is having a major negative impact on the team. Vs CGY and now tonight.

Also that first goal against was weak as shit.

Off to an amazing start too, PP severely broken.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Team hasn't laid too many eggs this year but this one stinks so far.

Hate this slump and our bad PP is shooting their team's confidence down now.. And poor goaltending isn't covering the difference.

 

[fahad203]

Clearly Barabanov was the glue that held this team together.

Somewhere in Vancouver, Vesey is having a laugh along with Boyd.

Last time our PP was working, Vesey was a regular

 

[2 Slick]

If it wasn't for Matthews amazing season Dubass would be looking for an accountant job right about now lol

Him, Marner and Hyman have carried the team all season.

 

[frizzer1]

With Matthews out their offense is challenged.
You would think they would be concentrating on defensive play rather than having their d pinch on every play?

 

[PromisedLand]

The PP not scoring goals is defnitely impacting us and letting the air out of our momentum if any directly into oppositions' momentum

PP needs fixing or we need to play PP like a 5 on 5 with two defensemen and 3 forwards

 

[supermann_98]

Where the f*** was Justin Holl?

Where was the whole team? It was like Shiefle was out on a shootout attempt

 

[34]

This game is over. The Leafs won’t score another goal.

Get yourselves ready for another first round exit. Reality check!

 

[Byron Bitz]

Friendly reminder that the Jets are on the second half of a back to back and we were off last night

 

[Stephen]

Muzzin and Holl have been brutal tonight. Whenever Holl gets ahead of himself and gets too aggressive offensively he undoes what he’s good at. Defense.

 

[The Big Swede13]

With Nylander and Matthews out, their forwards are MUCH better than ours.

Their D sucks we should take advantage

 

[Aashir]

Three of their goals are by three of their top players. One was breakway, one was 2 on 1(semi) and one was PP

I am not defending Campbell, but all of them the team up front could have done better

The thing is, that whole 3 game set against Winnipeg, this is what we complained about, make a big save, we’ve seen it against us time and time again, Campbell even did it for a period, which was unsustainable, but since the Ottawa game, Campbell has looked too beatable at times, the 1st goal, whatever every goalie gives up a bad goal once in a while, the second.. eh ok would like a save to redeem the first goal but whatever its only 2-1, but the third one is like.... wtf. The D have been atrocious don’t get me wrong and I still think holl will be exposed if we make it past round 2, but sometimes you need a save which makes the bench energized cuz rn the Power play ain’t doing it

 

[Jmo89]

He loses to Montreal and it won't be his problem anymore.

That's assuming they hold on to 1st spot. I doubt they do that with a 1 in 40 powerplay.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

The special teams going to shit is really concerning. The PK isn’t covering for the anemic PP with goals against in three straight now. Team is making Dubas regret buying since 4 hours after the deadline officially ended.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Actually not really. The coaching staff just hero worships Simmonds and Jumbo into playing minutes they shouldn't be. Between Mikheyev, Kerfoot, Spezza and Robertson you should at least have a quality top nine with a passable 4th.

Well I’m talking about the players that are actually playing. If minutes keep getting fed to guys who can’t handle it then it means our depth players aren’t very good.

 

[Stephen]

Friendly reminder that the Jets are on the second half of a back to back and we were off last night

Looks like the other way around.

 

[Torontonian]

All started with the non eventful 5 on 3 that managed to only get two shots again. Our powerplay continues to deflate the team, if its 2-0 game instead of 2-1 this game is already different

 

[Menzinger]

Friendly reminder that the Jets are on the second half of a back to back and we were off last night

The Leafs are also missing 2 core forwards including the teams top centre

 

[Throw More Waffles]

The guy won 10 games in a row, can people here give players room to make mistakes. jesus.

The PP problem is starting to look like a core player problem. Happens every year (starts off on fire, gets figured out, then sucks into the playoffs). You won't win in the playoffs with such inconsistent special teams. It's all a very VERY legitimate reason for concern.

 

[The Blueprint]

Man to go from up 1-0 on a 5 on 3 to down 3-1

Just terrible. The first line was looking amazing too

Yea pretty much. I don't know how the PP can possibly be this bad but after failing to execute on a 5 on 3, jets come back to tie on PP quickly and we just crumbled after

 

[TheGreatOne11]

This team is gonna get smoked in the first round. Complete trash

Bet.

I'll never post on HF again if we do. If we don't neither do you.

And by smoked that means we lose in 5 games or less.

Stop this this hyperbole reactionary crap. We're a good team, bad games happen, Campbell after winning 11 in a row looks human, doesn't mean he's trash, the boys haven't even had the additions we got at the deadline yet.

Also playing the same teams over and over again, bad games happen, this is still the best leaf team i have ever seen.

We will do great come the playoffs.

 

[The Apologist]

what could he have done differently?

Imagine putting a shot on the point for a PP that's one in fourty now? Just one possible idea.
