GDT: Game #5 Leafs 2-1-1 host Sharks 3-0 6pm EST

I'm just glad the Dubass experiment will all be over soon. Take your analytics to the Seault

 

[DueDiligence]

Don't they have seven rookies in the lineup? How are they an old team?

Key players like Karlsson, Burns , Vlasic , Couture, Bonino, Cogliano, all over the age of 30.

 

[glue]

Man these guys are such losers..this season the pressure is on right from the beginning, since they know this is likely their last dance, instead of stepping up, they’re choking even harder

 

[Apex Predator]

Keefe doesn't have an answer.

sounds like Babcock hmmm wonder what the problem is?

 

[CabanaBoy5]

I ha

This is a badly coached team.

im beginning to believe that. We just had 4 days off, how can we look so unprepared.

 

[egd27]

cmon crowd.....get on them for this display

 

[HockeyVirus]

Get Rielly OFF THE f***ING PP1

 

[All Mod Cons]

It’s almost impressive that Dubas has built an entire roster of passengers.

You couldn't build a team as vanilla as this - with what Kyle started with. I would honestly feel more confident in 85% of the posters here being the GM.

 

[ottomaddox]

Toronto's Left Wing Position is going to be this folks. You can't just expect Bunting to carry that side the every game.

 

[saffronleaf]

marner is sad, weak, dull

 

[Morgs]

Wonder why that could be?

Any ideas?

Most people don't realize that even the best teams in the league only win ~60% of their games, and even though the Leafs have outplayed every team they've played so far, they aren't 4-0. It's a long season, it's so tiresome watching people scream the sky is falling every time we're losing.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Absolute shit

 

[Sniper99]

marner and jt really ruining this team.

oh, its not just them. Not even close.

 

[MSZ]

Block leaf shots by clogging the defensive zone and forcing out side pressure and apply pressure on clumsy d man=win/rinse repeat

The book has been out for years. The Isles has done it on JT's return, the Canes on the Zamboni night, and most recently the Montreal series.

 

[NastyKnies]

So Keefe sticking with the duos of Matthews-Marner and JT-Nylander huh?

How about going with Matthews-Nylander and JT-XX and put Marner on another line to get some offesne ffs

Keefe is out to lunch

 

[Canadian Finn]

Babcock is getting his Leafs paycheck and laughing his ass off.

Leafs are his cuckold

 

[Leaffan1991]

Seriously start booing this shit, our top guys need to hear they aren't as good as they think they are

 

[123offtheglass]

Honestly Marner broke out after Babcock put him on the 4th line, Keefe needs to do something similar, at least take him away from Matthews...

 

[Once]

Lol this is embarrassing.

 

[Morgs]

The last time they played well, that Babcock guy was the coach.

Those teams played well, and could beat good teams.

This edition of the Leafs struggle to beat bad teams.

I'd assume this was a joke post but I've seen your post history.

 

[Apex Predator]

I ha

Remember pre Matthews when Babcock would get all those guys to give it their all. Then Matthews and company shows up and we constantly have the same issue?

 

[Stephen]

That Tavares offside might be the first time he skated faster than someone else all season.

 

[Rogue Leader]

It is really a pain to watch. The Leafs almost always bring pain and misery in my life ...

Interesting take.

 

[Griffin76]

I seriously don't think this team has enough offense to repeat their glory days of getting eliminated in game 7 of round 1. The loss of offense is real. Tavares = Replacement Level. Richie = Can't hold Hyman's jock.

The forward group is basically the same as last year minus Hyman. I know the general consensus is that "Hyman makes every line he plays on better" but him being gone doesn't deplete the goal scoring that much.

 

[ottomaddox]

THESE ZONE ENTRIES ARE HORSE SHIT!!!
