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

[Bellefour20]

1/3 of the way through this last win streak I said I didn't like how we weren't scoring, the pp sucked, and we were squeaking out OT and close games, while relying on an injured unproven goalie. I was told that's just how they play now and not to worry. Well is everyone good with this team going on a deep run playing like this?

 

[Griffin76]

He's actually not been that good. He did well on his goal. He had a few decent looks on the PP. Had a number of poor defensive plays and was otherwise invisible today.

Marner is pretty much the same way.

Tavares is the entire line today.

Actually he has played pretty well. I'm watching the game too.

 

[Optimist]

Can we decline penalties?

 

[fahad203]

Foligno and Nash have never played for this team so it's hard to say that the team's struggles are due to them missing.

Jets are also playing without Wheeler

 

[DopeyFish]

what a pass by spezza

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Foligno and Nash have never played for this team so it's hard to say that the team's struggles are due to them missing.

Addition by subtraction. They're far better players than Simmonds, Thornton, Engvall.

 

[Azail]

Think that might be anytime soon?

Not if they continue to do what they have been doing. It isn't like they have been good on the PP, and are just getting unlucky. They look like they have no idea what to do, besides pass it around the outside.

 

[Gallagbi]

That 4th goal is on Rittich not marner . Nothing should have happened after Ehlers poked it away

I mean, Marner takes the puck without pressure, drives to traffic, blows his dainty move, loses the race, loses position and allows his man to the net uncontested. If Rittich stays in the net it's still a breakaway

 

[egd27]

Think we can call that one a "big save"

 

[Stonehands 1]

Rittich!!!!

 

[Teeder Keon]

Glove save Dave

 

[Crosscrease14]

Big Save Dave

 

[The Examiner]

Yikes, Spezza. I hope this shit isn’t contagious.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Frustrating that this is essentially a carbon copy of every loss to the Jets this season.

 

[saffronleaf]

awesome pass by spezza, tape to tape

 

[TMLeafer]

They're playing like they're trying to kill time? Maybe tell them they don't have the lead?

 

[Atomos2]

Are you still crying about his contract?

Someone has to. These guys need to be held accountable for playing like dog shit

 

[fahad203]

I like how Rittich doens't even flinch

 

[Amadeus]

That was an equally worst play by Muzzin. I hate how passive the dude plays.

 

[Smif]

That was a vintage Spezza pass.

 

[TMLAM34]

Foligno and Nash have never played for this team so it's hard to say that the team's struggles are due to them missing.

I never said the teams struggles are due to those two missing. I said on the bright side we’re playing without those two players along with the others. It’s nice knowing someone like Engvall and ideally Thornton sit for those two.

 

[Tragicallyhip]

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.

Wheeler and Stanley (+12) are out.

 

[rdogg]

1st round exit incoming

 

[fahad203]

That indian guy's name cannot be Ryan. He's too much of a Sanjay to be Ryan

 

[Aashir]

Man I can’t even be mad at that pass, it went perfectly on that guys stick
