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

[LastOne2100]

Our power play needs to figure itself out again.

Maybe take JT off of it as he is a non-option.

 

[zeke]

Welcome, lyabushkin.

 

[LeafsFan89]

He didn't have possession of the puck. Why was the play blown down?

 

[Torontonian]

Another odd man rush, the counter attack will always be how you play against the leafs, shut down the middle of the ice and counter against us.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Pierre is going to be the first player since Hammerstrom to go into the corners without breaking eggs in his pocket and to boot he will bring roses and kisses for all ….

 

[Macallan18]

Every time they say Lyubushkin's name, its like razors slice my ears

Funny for me when I hear Holl

 

[StevenB]

But that 2v1 defending

That screen took away any chance Lyub would’ve had to take the shot instead of the pass. He did what he was supposed to do there

 

[pcruz]

Bunting draws a borderline penalty.
Matthews doesn't draw an obvious penalty.


This league is awesome at times.

 

[Nylanderthal]

But that 2v1 defending

I thought he got back quickly and took away the pass well. Soups gotta have that save imo

 

[Diver3368]

They are playing with more fire tonight. They just have to keep their focus on defence.

 

[Anthrax442]

Funny for me when I hear Holl

FOr me coz they butcher his name every time.

 

[2 Slick]

Only one goal against an ECHL goaltender so far. Looks like Toronto is gonna make this one look like a wall.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

He didn't have possession of the puck. Why was the play blown down?

expected possession

 

[djdev]

He was right next to the open player
Of course laine is gonna shoot lol

on a 2 on 1 u let the goalie take the guy with the puck and the dman takes the other guy, its a much higher % to save the puck as the goalie that way.

 

[Torontonian]

Why the f*** would you defend the pass with Laine as the shooter?

Because it's hockey 101, you take away the pass and give the goalie the shot. Whats a goalie more likely to stop, a shot directly on or a pass across the slot for someone to tap in?

 

[Aashir]

Well tbf Lyubushkin fully took the pass and gave Campbell the shot. It’s not campbells fault either that laine had a picture perfect shot

Marner can’t turn that puck over like that. Gotta pass it quicker or dump it, cut the cute shit out

 

[The Kessel Run]

I thought he got back quickly and took away the pass well. Soups gotta have that save imo

in fairness, Laine is one of the most dangerous players in the league from there. He’s going to snipe more often than not.

 

[DarkKnight]

Laine and Matthews were never that close, it’s more that just goals.

 

[francis246]

the PP is the one spot I feel like JT has been okay. He's winning draws, hes getting looks in the bumper.

 

[therealkoho]

Yeah what was Holl doing there

 

[Griffin76]

Welcome, lyabushkin.

Did exactly what he was told.

 

[djdev]

JT man....sigh

 

[2 Slick]

Tavares is useless.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Good god how did JT miss the net!!

 

[Nylanderthal]

He was right next to the open player
Of course laine is gonna shoot lol

That’s the job of the D man on a 2 on 1. Cut off the cross ice pass…. That’s always the job
