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

[Marshy]

So we score 2 goals a game now. Cool.

 

[Coachcorner]

>Simmonds, one of our realest thugs, has been hard and heavy tonight. Treally loving his gezame.

Wonder if the canucks play against us saturday.

 

[Sniper99]

Opposing teams just clog up their front of the net knowing we won’t penetrate at all
Perimeter all the way in circles

Well they figured out they cant drop back to Reilly on the blueline cause some have found he cant shoot to save his life.

 

[LastOne2100]

Too many players in this team play soft games, not the heavy games
Kerfoot, Engvall, Brooks, Mikhayev. Continous rotation of softnes and figure skating

Btw. where's Robertson?

Keefe decided to bench him to give Thornton more minutes.

 

[Azail]

Honestly, it hasn't even been difficult for Helle. How few good chances has Toronto even had? You can say Campbell or Rittich could have made a save, but Helle hasn't even been put in position to make a difficult save.

 

[mcleafs]

3rd period shots 10-1 Leafs. 3rd period goals 1-0 Jets. Story of the season.

 

[Mugzy97]

I just want to say, this is just a game in the regular season, past the 2/3 point, and we have a playoff spot already secured. We are missing two of our best four players. Including the top goal scorer in the league. And our starting goalie has been out for some time, and we are on our second backup.

Please just everyone calm the F down.

Yessir! Great perspective.

 

[Havoc]

Leafs have pretty much owned 90% of this game .

That remaining 10% was just very very very bad.

 

[egd27]

Man our PP is soooooo terrible. We just pass it around the perimeter, and when we do go down low, it's just in-the-crease stuff like that Hyman attempt, not a real scoring threat. We're getting zero cross-ice one-timers, zero one-timers from the slot, etc. It's just not dangerous at all, really need a new PP coach. We've got the talent to be great on the PP but are terrible, coaching issue IMO.

Well if the PP coach isn't getting it done, shouldn't the head coach step in?
Or how about the "talent" trying something on their own?

 

[PromisedLand]

Very low compete on this team.

This team likes to play EA sports hockey (fancy and cute plays). In the playoffs this team would be kicked to the curb if they don't puck up intensity and compete

 

[Tlo1]

Someone said cue the losing steak after the habs loss.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

The team is extremely flawed and vulnerable as a result. The bottom 6 has no scoring depth. The top pairing is shaky defensively. They don't have anything that resembles a PP and they have series questions surrounding their starting goaltender.

This is a good team, but nowhere near the top 3 team in the NHL that there record indicates.

We are missing the best goal scorer in the league, and another high end winger, and we still look really good in this game. Arguably better than the Jets more often than not.

Other than Benn and Beaulieu, this is the Jets. Arguably our most intimidating competition. We were sloppy in the 1st period and on that 4th goal. We'd been all over them otherwise.

This is without a functioning PP as well. Once our PP gets back to where it will be, we are going to be tough to stop.

 

[danron1376]

winnipeg should just take penalty after penalty to clinch the win at this point

 

[Leafsfan74]

The Jets certainly don't play the Leafs evenly. They do bank on getting better goaltending though

I thought for sure Freddie would be traded in the preseason. And Cuba's go for another starter.

Meh. It is what it is. Our goalies have been inconsistent but let's not undermine that long win streak this team had. With Matthews, Nylander, Foligno and hopefully Nash, this team looks drastically different.

 

[cyborg]

Opposing teams just clog up their front of the net knowing we won’t penetrate at all
Perimeter all the way in circles

Start shooting the puck of their shin pads all plinko like.

 

[klmdg]

Dermott can do everything Rielly can

Keefe, unshackle him!

 

[Not My Tempo]

Legit wish I could be as bad at my job as Malholtra is and keep it

 

[Stephen]

Because this game means nothing

I think it means a lot. If the team is showing a next man up, rally with Matthews and Nylander out, let’s claw back after Campbell was pulled and beat these guys. I would accept a loss more easily. Shows they’re really getting in the mindset of a championship run. But when they still look like a team that thinks it can flip a switch? I’m not so encouraged by that.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

f***ing dumbass Marner.

 

[Burnie97]

Jets are where they are because of goaltending though.

If Leafs had Hellebuyck... the division would be over already.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Start shooting the puck of their shin pads all plinko like.

We make every player in the shooting lane look like a Ludwig

 

[Smif]

This is what you call a bad week, folks.

 

[The Beyonder]

Leafs have pretty much owned 90% of this game .

That remaining 10% was just very very very bad.

5% of that that 10% is us f***ing up the PP per usual.

 

[Mats13]

Might be a good time to actually give Robertson a chance

Just maybe, don’t wanna cut Thornton’s or Simmonds minutes obviously

 

[supermann_98]

Muzzin and Holl are TERRIBLE

The whole team minus 2 or 3 guys are terrible too though
