GDT: Jets @ Leafs 7PM CBC

[Polaris1010]

Really shows how important center depth iz in todays day and age

Ummm .... the center drives the line.

Babcock learned that probably 40 years ago.

In all that time, probably in the history of hockey, probably only one winger will be regarded as able to drive a line and that is Kane.

My worry is the Refs been bad in the last home games for the Leafs. Not saying it is the reason they lost but didn't help either.

 

[Atrusai]

I expect he'll have a strong game.

Laine also tends to play well in Toronto - think he'll have a good game.

Hope the Leafs don't coast into this game because the Jets played last night.

Biggest worry is Leafs haven't exactly played well at home so far for whatever reason. Need to pounce on the Jets early, tire them out so they don't have any energy left in the 3rd.

Just scored an awesome deal on ticketmaster. Just checked ticketmaster randomly and bought tickets right away.

Another false narrative falling by the way side, Marner the PP guy, not 5 v 5, has only 4 of his 13 points with the man advantage.

We need more PP opportunities... We are somehow tied for dead last in the NHL in PP opportunites / GP....

It’s because they don’t carry out of their zone and carry through the neutral zone with speed.

You could argue that should lead to more hooking, interference, clutching penalties too.

 

[Maple Leaf]

les go

I’m saying Leafs do neither.

Ahhh.

Matthews has been quiet the last couple of games... I expect him to be on his game tonight!

I thought he was the best player on the ice on weds.

No doubt that's one of the reasons. Can't really draw a neutral zone penalty with a stretch pass. We should take advantage of our speed and skill more.

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Love it!

Holl...

[BertCorbeau]

I thought that was only a Babcock thing?

 

[Jmo89]

I'm thinking Auston scores a couple tonight.

 

[Brown Dog]

GO LEAFS GO!!!

who cares where Laine is playing? Does it change anything?

Means he’s struggling.

 

[Nooodles]

Means he’s struggling.

He could still score 3 tonight

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

He could still score 3 tonight

less of a chance on the 4th line.
