GDT: Just Win | Stanley Cup Playoffs - Round 1 - Game 7: Bolts @ Leafs | 7:00 p.m. EST | CBC, TNT

[Leafsfan74]

The problem with the PP is Rielly is useless outside of being good at keeping the zone. It's a glorified 4on4 with pinch coverage.

I'm not watching the game tonight, but from what I saw too often from Reilly this year was a guy who wouldn't shoot enough, was too slow and projected his play too often. I said early this year that they need a point shot threat on their PP or they are at a major disadvantage. If he can't blast it, then snap it to the net when there is traffic there.

I still believe Bunting should be on that first PP unit over Nylander.
Nylander is not a good fit on the first unit.

the guy who lead the team in PP points taken off pp1.

oh man

 

[leafsfan5]

Demote Nylander to 4th line. He's going to cost us the game.

He’s quite literally our most productive forward in the last 2 playoffs

 

[DarkKnight]

I’m positive there are people here who will find a way to be negative even when we win

We needed to be winnier.

 

[jgs]

People here talk about the Leafs fragile character. There is still two periods to play, Leafs are still in this game and many are acting suicidal.

 

[Tak7]

Next goal wins.

 

[mcleex]

Getting sick and tired of the same PP
Same formation

Same pass around

So predictable

 

[DopeyFish]

well officiating hasn't screwed us so far. That's a positive @ least

The icing on the cake is watching Hedman burn us with his point shot.

 

[Kalaish26]

Got to capitalize on our opportunities. Doesn't matter how many chances we get if we don't make them count. Don't want a repeat of Game 6 OT again. Jack's got to stand on his head as well and be almost perfect if we want a shot at winning.

 

[Apex Predator]

The big 4 came to play. Solid came between both teams.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

at this point in the game we are usually down 2-0.

1-0 ?

easy peasy

 

[yubbers]

Sup home slice

Chillin Happy the weather arrived. Hope you're good!

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Game of bounces. Bad bounce resulted in a delay of game penalty for Gio. Shot went off Rielly's stick and then Paul poked it in

Bounces will go our way this period

 

[notbias]

Start by removing Rielly for Muzzin.

just run 5 forwards

You’re not watching the game but you’re commenting here? Cough bullshit cough.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Lets goooo

 

[Racer88]

If this team keeps requiring speeches all the time then thats trouble to begin with. You can't motivate yourself to show up for Game 7 in a do or die situation? Come on!

Speeches and excuse

 

[LeafsFan89]

Hard to complain about the effort.

But should I bet on the Leafs and just reach a new low? At least I win in that sense.....

 

[DarkKnight]

Let’s go!!! One shot will ignite this building.

 

[saffronleaf]

point back all good lol

& we got a way with clear one in the 1st too. It's a wash

 

[IrishInOntario]

That Marner miss early in the period still hurts so bad too...can't miss on chances like that in a game like this.

Some teams have a culture of being clutch in those moments. It's the trademark required for winning in the playoffs... I wish I could count Toronto among those teams.

 

[paulhiggins]

Based on what exactly?

Two giveaways on his first shift and then a pass to an offside player, aside from lack of playing up to his abilities.

I agree but I find it funny that I’ve posted this, you have, and another person I saw. And we’ve all said it was a different player that was held on the boards.

I said it was Mikheyev. You say Kampf. The other said it was Engvall. Regardless, that doesn’t happen and Paul gets picked up on the back check with no issue
