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

[Seath The Scaleless]

Definitely need load management for the top 4 D down the stretch. Schedule has been a mess and it won't get any lighter

 

[fahad203]

I know I am old school and people here going to hate me

I wish Saborouin was playing instead of Brooks. He would have gone after someone at least with a hit
I loved how he absolutely destroyed Calgary player the other day

 

[Burnie97]

Dubois needs to get dropped. He's not tough.

Much better period by the Leafs.

That 4th line should stay on the bench in the 3rd. Shorten it up Keefe if you're serious about winning.

If Leafs win this though... first star is going to be big save dave.

 

[LastOne2100]

I'm sorry guys

I've been watching all season... And Engvall just doesn't have it.

If he's not being carried by other players in his line he's useless.

Doesn't use his size.. not dangerous, no shot, his speed his good for his size but he seems to hesitate too often when he should be reacting fast like his linemates. He just doesn't adapt to the NHL level.

Yeah, really disappointed in him this year. Had so much promise but took multiple steps back instead of forward this year.

 

[Not My Tempo]

Man the way Kerfoot reacted that didn't look good.

 

[Marshy]

Man if we bring that 2nd period intensity nightly when we get Matty/Willy/Foligno/Nash in there we'll be alright.

 

[PanniniClaus]

PLD needs a punch in the face and i assume that gets looked at by player safety.

 

[Gallagbi]

Did we get a powerplay for the blatant headshot by Dubois there?

I've watched about 5 minutes so far and the officiating baffles me. An obvious call on Tavares, followed by non-calls on a Brodie hold that led to a chance and then 2-3 Jets hooks in the slot preventing a SOG, capped by a headshot similar to what cost Kadri a few playoff games.

Edit - Oh yeah, the blatant cross check on Marner by Dubois.

 

[fahad203]

Yeah the Reichel goal, I want to say? Rittich has that big frame and sort of over active hyper way about him.

You mean the Riechel attempt? he tried to slap shoot on a penalty shot?

Yes, we did.

Illegal check to the head against Dubois.

 

[frizzer1]

I know I’m now shitting on him
But is there a more fu softer player void of balls ever in the corners than 47

Inge Hammarstrom

 

[IPS]

Anyone notice how quickly Winnipeg moves the puck on the power play? Instead we get Morgan Rielly stick handling for 5 seconds before making a decision.

Takes insane skill to make those 5 foot passes over to Marner.

 

[Gallagbi]

Doesn't look like we got a power play.

Oof, that's an easy headcheck any day of the week.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Man, I hope Kerfoot is okay. Dubois is obviously one of those players who tries to compensate for his lack of ability by attempting to injure the opposition

 

[123offtheglass]

Hope Kerf is alright, looks like PLD hit his head hard.

If Kerfoot is out does that mean it's a 5 minute major?

 

[LastOne2100]

Oof, that's an easy headcheck any day of the week.

Sorry I replied and then immediately NHL.com added the penalty. So yes, we have a power play.

Par for the course really

Looking forward to see what Ben Hutton can add as as D option.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

You have an entire intermission, figure the power play out.

 

[Gallagbi]

Really want Simmonds to have a "conversation" with Dubois. We really need some of these guys to step up and step in during these situations

 

[Coachcorner]

Johnny is treally on his gezame tonight mayne!! HARD! Just as matthews is izout, this man our captain steps on toes and is really killing it gilmour hard now!

Wonder if our vanucks gezame is played saturday. It's possible.

 

[fahad203]

They had an entire 6 weeks

 

[SeaOfBlue]

But the team in front of him hasn't been good lately...Hopefully his good play didn't subconsciously cause them to take their feet off the gas pedal...Actually this kind of grind it out (boring) playoff hockey at this time might be the wake up call they need... Either they adapt in the last dozen games or so or it'll be a short playoff...assuming of course they have the personell to handle that style of hockey.

They haven't been amazing, but they've been better than him. He's let in some pretty weak goals in some of those games. I think we could have won both the Calgary and MTL games despite that, but our defense was better than our goalie in those games. Our defense was also better than Campbell in the Ottawa game.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Of course
Another savage hit or slash or abuse on another of our players
I know this is our thing to be passive , but it turns my stomach as a fan of our team how , meek and mild and passive we are
Worse aspect of our team since this new regime took over
I’m slways left scratching my head when I think or Shanny being part of this identity
I’ve said it before
Easy pickings on the playoffs as I’m targeting and hammering these guys every chance i get
Especially when the PP is having Cialis challenges
AM and mm and WN and JT are going to get hurt seriously one of these abusive non respectful hits or beatings

 

[Thissiteisgarbage]

Tavares has that "man waiting for a bus" charisma, haha.
