GDT: Game #52 - Leafs @ Oilers - 5PM - Set your clocks to center of the universe time!

Connor just won't shoot

It’s crazy at this point

 

[McHelpus]

Please Gibson or the guy off Utah. I'm so tired of Skinner always forcing this team to play from behind.

 

[crowfish]

Never seen a team with worse finishing than this Oilers team. It's like endless chances and minimal goals, all year long.

 

[Missing smitty]

They have to take him off the fireplace. He's utterly useless right now. Stecher would be better right now

Nurse, Nurse should be there, he was always so good at walking the line

 

[Cloned]

Mildly hot take.

They should try RNH on the right flank on the PP and move McDavid to the left.

It’s a better shooting angle for RNH and is the one position where his dust off isn’t as detrimental because teams have to worry about the short pass to Draisaitl.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

a team that plays hot potato.

"here, you take it, no you take it...."

Oh to have a Sykora-like sniper.

 

[CROTT]

When was the last time we scored a goal on a nice hockey play?

Yep, the teams been off for a while now. Not even Shesterkin would have bad nights like he does for the Rangers.

Clear the front of the f&@king net for once…

 

[crowfish]

It’s crazy at this point

He has 4 shots halfway thru the game and has been all over the ice setting up plays

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

The sad part is the Leafs team isn’t good. A legitimate push and they’ll fold

Oilers are in their mid season dip

 

[GhostfaceWu]

these low percentage passes from our d need to go that pass from Kulak to a player with like 3 leafs players on him is stupid.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Nice viscous cross-check from earring wearing Matthews there

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

He has 4 shots halfway thru the game and has been all over the ice setting up plays

It’s hilarious u use 1 period sample… he is on pace for a near career low…

Bouchard with no power play goals, has to play with our best defenceman, doesn’t penalty kill, rarely plays in the last two minutes of a close game, and is pretty much exclusively on the ice with Connor McDavid who tilts the ice skewing Bouchard‘s fancy stat numbers? That Bouchard?

I obviously meant Eugenie

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Stick almost goes through Leon's jersey there...wtf

Ridiculous statement. Bouchard posts the same metrics away from McDavid. Ekholm hit career highs playing with Bouchard. Bouchard is the highest scoring d man in a playoffs. Bouchard is 24

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Oh to have a Sykora-like sniper.

Jeff Skinner says hi but Koach won’t play him.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

We are getting shutout tonight

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Jeff Skinner says hi but Koach won’t play him.

If this game ends the top line stacking the loss will be worth it.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Why pass ffs shoot the f***ing puck

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Three on one these losers can barely get a shot lol

 

[McHelpus]

We are getting shutout tonight

Think so

 

[snipes]

Loading up McDrai against a team as deep as the Leafs up front is just straight up stupid.

Also shoot the ****ing puck!!!!

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

What an idiotic pass by brown

 

[Sanchez]

I remember texting Gregor about him- holy hell Gregor went on a 5 minute rant defending him. When multiple GMs and coaches have been fired and no one has even whispered your name- you’re the second most powerful person in the organization

Gregor is never wrong don't you know?

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Perimeter play as usual. Zero scoring threats or shooting threats in the bottom 9. Slow and old. This is how we look against the best of the best.

TO built exactly like us, but they are just way deeper in their top 9.

This is the ugly side of this lineup. Old washed slow fwds that have zero poise or finish or ability to generate anything.

Sometimes it works, but sometimes you run up against an even better pure offensive team like TO
