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

[Aashir]

I think it’s just a function of the Leafs being healthy on D up to this point. Also, aren’t the Marlies on Covid protocol?

Still, if he is part of our future, he should get a taste of the nhl like sandin did. Only time he got it was a 7 game span in which Rielly was injured, Andersen was playing beach volleyball and Barrie... no dermott was our #1D

 

[IPS]

Justin Holl has turned to complete shit again. Pretty well exact same story as last year, looks like a premier shutdown D first half of the year but regresses badly as the season goes on. The guy isn't anywhere near the un-tradeable piece a few posters here made him out to be.

 

[Leaftors]

Down 2 goals, Robertson better get more ice time than Thornton.....

has thornton done anything bad this game?
he hasn't been bad

 

[MSZ]

I hope to god the next 2 games against the Nucks get postponed.

This team is a complete dumpster fire ATM and need a solid week of practice.

The game on Saturday has already been postponed. Not sure about the Monday one yet.

 

[CelticDruid]

Time for JT to put this team on his back and carry us to a victory

He can start by winning a f/o on the PP

 

[BertCorbeau]

Team looks tired with a lot of mental mistakes .. Lots of games lately.

Goaltending hasn't bailed them out at all tonight either. Going to be a grind but hopefully they can at least get a point.

Hell, I'd take a loss in regulation if the Leafs could at least score a couple of PP goals and get out of THAT funk.

Really starting to worry the Leafs won't make it past the first round again.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

We are finding out what happens when you get average goaltending while having the worst special teams in the league. Not exactly a great combination for success. This is a team that should make it to the semis but there is a very real possibility we are going to be sunk by bad special teams.....again.

 

[Aashir]

Is he the one wearing 97?

Is so, then YES

97 is probably the most useless player on the roster.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Won’t make a difference. The goaltending is dog shit.

Do you seriously think goaltending is the problem tonight?

 

[The Apologist]

Won’t make a difference. The goaltending is dog shit.

The goaltending is entitled to a bad game every now and then.
Our D has been very lackadaisical for the last three games. Both from the forwards and back end.

 

[hamzarocks]

a disappointing game so far. Just need to play it shift by shift now. Get some momentum and don't let the jets get chances. Be smart in the zone and don't make crazy pinches like muzzin/holl made in the 1st.

I think we still have a shot at a win but if they score next its over. We need a goal in the 2nd preferably a power-play goal to get off the snide and mentally get back to feeling good about our PP

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I expect the Leafs to play a lot better, but they just don't have the talent to make it count

 

[IPS]

Anyone getting tired of Pierre yet regarding his completely useless play almost every shift

Literally nothing redeemable about his game nowadays. Riley Nash will be a great change.

 

[cyborg]

Won’t make a difference. The goaltending is dog shit.

Sorry ,cant hang this one on the goalie,poor decesions by our defence that lead to 2 breaka ways.First goal he should of had

 

[supermann_98]

Their D sucks we should take advantage

Our D sucks worse, at least tonight they do

 

[dubplatepressure]

Anyone getting tired of Pierre yet regarding his completely useless play almost every shift

You mean you don't like constant dump ins on 3 on 2s?

 

[PromisedLand]

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

whatever happened to "Dubas improved our D" crowd?

 

[123offtheglass]

That was a brutal 1st, goaltending included, better wake up for the 2nd or it's going to be a long night

 

[ryno23]

can't wait for Foligno to get in the lineup so #47 can finally get out of the lineup. He brings nothing and has a terrible hockey IQ.

 

[Stephen]

The Jets the more tired team outworked us. Kudos to them.

Every Canadian team saves a little bit to take down the Leafs.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Why?

Because despite how well the team is doing anytime something bad happens you show up to say how awful they are. It’s predictable.

Best team we’ve seen in a while and you still can’t get onboard. You still need to be edgy and give everyone a reality check.

 

[Cpt Maple Leaf]

Life would have been different had the leafs scored on the freaking 5-3 powerplay.

They have lost it mentally when it comes to the power play. Mental block of some sort.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

The Jets the more tired team outworked us. Kudos to them.

To be fair, it's also our 3rd in 4 nights / 4th in 6 nights

But yeah. That PP deflated us

 

[killer1980]

They really miss Matthews and Campbell is proving he may not be the answer. Still think they don't have the intestinal fortitude or leadership that it takes to win. Hope they prove me wrong.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Good luck scoring 4 goals on Hellebuyck.

You mean like how Ottawa did on Monday?
