GDT: Game #50: Leafs @ Jackets 7pm ET

[Nylander88]

Lybushkin is fun, I'm a fan. Hopefully his physicality rubs off a bit on the church choir boys we have up and down the lineup

When you have everyone staring at you the whole period, it's easy to find mistakes. He just looked all around solid. Love the addition so far

 

[McSnypsky]

Terrible period.

Lucky to be up, even with 2 pps.

Lyabushkin likes to ice the puck.

Better than giving it away!

Hush hush dude.

 

[SprDaVE]

Yeah that was a pretty bad period 5 on 5. PP seems fine.

Leafs need a lot more from a few players. Just way too many passengers.

That 2nd and 3rd line probably need to be blended.

 

[Mr_Fun]

That was more of a penalty on Tavares than on Lyubushkin. Refs gotta call that one.

 

[saffronleaf]

the league should use video footage of what just happened as a training thing for referees. like textbook example of game management. this is unacceptable.

jt just got grabbed and dragged down. this is not a hockey play.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Bad is an understatement for lines 2-4 that period

Doubt that it will , and eventually when he sees that no one else will , he will stop too.
Muzzin threw a lot of hits when he first got here too.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Ugly era all around sprinkled in with some rare good times

We were lucky back then 16 of 21 teams made the playoffs. We made it one year despite finishing 20th overall.

i think we need 1 more esp with muzzin recovering

 

[cookie]

Yeah can we not see Tavares and Nylander on the ice at the same time?

 

[therealkoho]

Can you imagine if this guy is Yuskevich level

 

[Scion]

How Keefe can continue to run these lines is so beyond me.

 

[HockeyVirus]

gotta do what the rangers did and bring in several at the same time that can feed off each other.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

8 of our forwards had a xGF under 20% 5v5 that period

that was a brutal no call even the CBJ commentators were surprised

 

[MarMarSab3]

Engvall is brain dead he has zero iq

 

[TIGERCOOL]

Terrible period.

Lucky to be up, even with 2 pps.

Lyabushkin likes to ice the puck.

he iced it once playing with a new team... unless I missed one? think that gets a pass. Also laid a nice hit and drew a penalty. I get being frustrated with the Leafs right now but why be so negative on Boosh

 

[Lemontree]

Smart play by Nyquist, clearly he is aware of the clause that states you can’t call 3 penalties in a row on the same team. It was a solid open field tackle, great job of wrapping around the waist to stop the ball carrier.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Lyb seems really good.... Like skating too?

Thought he was supposed to be a Polak.

 

[DarkKnight]

Look I was over the moon we were even able to turf no pulse Ritchie, if we actually have a decent 6 d man as well, unreal return.

 

[McSnypsky]

And being safe with the best faceoff team isn't so bad

 

[dubplatepressure]

How did Lybby do in the 1st? I am just tuning in.

 

[HolyCrap]

He is a huge Holl fan. Pretty sure related to Holl.

Sample size of 1 period. He has warts. But it's ok because his strengths are our weakness in others.
