GDT: Game 5 | Leafs @ Bruins | COME BACK BEGINS - WAKE UP EDITION | Tuesday, Apr. 30 7 p.m. EST | Leafs trail series 1-3

[Racer88]

Wow that has to be a leaf record allowing 2 shots all period

A leaf record and a leafy record…….one of those goes in

 

[Lightsol]

Good first period of play but as usual when the Leafs outplay the opposition lately they have nothing to show for it. They have to make simple plays to the net and crash it. Boston isn't going to give them the pretty ones. Nylander and Tavares were horrible that period but Marner and Domi are looking good so far.

EVERYONE's bad with Tavares anymore.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Domi should be resigned. It wouldn't even be a big contract as he will take a discount to stay here.

Don’t count on it. He’ll want too much for what he offers. He’s not a Centre man, he’s not a top six player. He’s not a scorer, and he looks to pass too much.

 

[Aashir]

They need to practice accepting passes. Also, Rielly and Tavares need to be off PP1. They directly cost a minute or more every single time. Beyond that, I'm just glad they didn't get called for the McAvoy dive.

Tavares touches the puck on the half wall and the play dies 100% of the time

Have him on for the faceoff, if we lose get him off for someone else, any one else I’ll take freaking Reaves

He can’t make passes from there and we always go his way for some reason

 

[6ix]

Meh. I mean the effort is there. It’s been there all series other than game 4. Samsonov, Woll, doesn’t matter always the 2nd best goalie.

 

[fahad203]

Bertuzzi-Domi-Marner (very occasionally put Raves out there with Domi-Marner to create space epscially on offensive zone faceoffs)

Knies-Holmberg-Nylander
Robertson-Tavares-Jankrok (put speed on his wings)

Limit Tavares' minutes.

No reason why 3rd line should see any minutes
Play 3 lines and run them to ground. I don't care

Marner should see every other shift

 

[notbias]

If they keep playing that and lose, so be it. But that's part of the frustration, ya? Boston isn't going to get 6 shots this game either.

I mean, I understand the frustration, that was almost a flawless period and it is 1-1, but people are talking about how bad players are after that period...

 

[Al14]

Our Leafs, 12 shots 1 goal. Boston, 2 shots 1 goal. That kinda sums up the series.

 

[GoonieFace]

Begs the question as to why he has waited unti game 5 and down 3 games to 1 to start flying?

He was publicly humiliated, maybe he thought he could float his way through. So annoying that guys just decide when to play

 

[BackPassChampions]

Yes, they should be.

Only ones digging the puck out of the corners right now.

Greasy goals are just as good as highlight reel goals.

The Dubas Era is done!!!

Buddy is watching a totally different series. I’ll take Domi and Bert all day over the core.

 

[PromisedLand]

Outside of a few games, Bertuzzi hasn't impressed me. I do like he goes to the net. But he's pretty slow.

IMO the 5.5 AAV can be spent much better. Unless Bert wants to sign for like 3.5 AAV (which he won't so....)

 

[cyborg]

I think Boston is playing their game. Clogging the front of the net, blocking everything and anything. Leafs have nothing from the point. No 2nd chances and a lot of it from the outside. It's going to take a lot of good shots and 2nd efforts to score. All Boston needs is a couple looks, we need a barrage of shots to hope.

Leafs should start shooting pucks of their legs,maybe get a dirty goal

 

[SprDaVE]

See Leafs had the puck a lot and solid shots, but nothing dangerous. That has to change.

 

[Evilhomer]

No reason why 3rd line should see any minutes
Play 3 lines and run them to ground. I don't care

Marner should see every other shift

I'd give Marner 30 minutes in this game. No reason not to.

 

[Racer88]

He was publicly humiliated, maybe he thought he could float his way through. So annoying that guys just decide when to play

I’m with you.

 

[Blanka]

If we had Swayman, the absolute worst positioning we'd be in is tied at 2 games a piece. In fact if we had just average goaltending, I'd tend to make the same claim.

The momentum Samsonov has killed could stop a tsunami from a meteor.

 

[Leafs98]

Playing well but this is why its impossible to win 3 in a row , Bruins are good even when Leafs dominate.

 

[Torontonian]

One of the underrated things I dislike about this group/coaches is the galaxy-brained face-off plays that look like an NBA offensive possession.

Ill never understand taking the puck from the top of the blue line, straight in front of the net, to going to the side wall and putting it on net lol.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Yes, they should be.

Only ones digging the puck out of the corners right now.

Greasy goals are just as good as highlight reel goals.

The Dubas Era is done!!!

How many greasy goals have they had? Our offence is nonexistent. They’re in our top 6. They have to produce more than one in 5 games.

 

[saffronleaf]

need nylander to consider contributing. he's effectively been absent the first give games of the series. how about contributing now?

 

[Jozay]

Leafs need to do a better job actually blocking Swaymans eyes

 

[TheShape]

Begs the question as to why he has waited unti game 5 and down 3 games to 1 to start flying?

Playing like this could be his last game as a Leaf...

 

[Gallagbi]

Seeing that Domi 2on1 again, I'd like him to drive the net. Gryz is frozen

 

[Blanka]

Meh. I mean the effort is there. It’s been there all series other than game 4. Samsonov, Woll, doesn’t matter always the 2nd best goalie.

This guy gets it

Tavares cannot win PP face offs.
