GDT: Leafs at Capitals 7:30 p.m., TV: Sportsnet Radio: AM 590

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

The Tavares line was hemmed in, but this time it was the first line rather than the fourth. So I guess it's a good shift for them

 

[Morgs]

A power play??

 

[djdev]

L2 hemmed in again

 

[DarkKnight]

Nylander waiting for someone else to win a puck defensively waaaaayyyy too often of late.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Dirty. Love Bush though he is in all teh battles, a bunting on D. We need another Dubas!

 

[The Kessel Run]

Greasy play.

 

[fahad203]

Not sure if that's a penalty to be honest. He did go for the hit and Luby actually put himself in that spot

I want to see the replay

 

[DarkKnight]

How is it on our D? Any floating shot is a challenge for him right now.

What? Carolina is elite that way. It isn’t on our D, their system flattered him.

 

[Macallan18]

Robertson looks fast.

Yeah for someone who just had a broken leg

 

[keonsbitterness]

Nice job by Rielly keeping it in.

 

[Nylander88]

Lyubushkin is such a breath of fresh air on how to just play sound defence. Does so many little things right with zero flash. Great pick up by Dubas so far.
Also, I think the Tavares line can use a spark. Maybe try Robertson there for a few shifts. If that doesn't work...send JT to the 4th line lol

 

[The Kessel Run]

Well that’s the antithesis of puck movement.

 

[DarkKnight]

Kind of a boring game so far.

 

[LeafsFan89]

No Robertson on PP2?

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Simmonds instead of Robertson, ok

 

[Macallan18]

Nylander waiting for someone else to win a puck defensively waaaaayyyy too often of late.

He’s slumping too, hasn’t scored since the first period of last game

 

[HockeyVirus]

Well that’s the antithesis of puck movement.

Caps are finishing checks and every player is bailing on 1 on 1 battles right now. Watch closely.

 

[DarkKnight]

Matthews and Marner slumping

I don’t like them together.

 

[Cleetus]

Marner and Matthews are going to make Bunting a lot of cheddar

 

[Maplebeasts]

Simmonds on the powerplay is just lol.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

If Bunting was getting proper PP time he would be way out infront of the other rookies right now. Lucas Raymond the only guy ahead (by 1 point now) has 13 PPP vs 4 for Bunting

 

[keonsbitterness]

Kind of a boring game so far.

Probably better that way.

 

[DarkKnight]

He’s slumping too, hasn’t scored since the first period of last game

He’s getting chances offensively, defensively he’s been disinterested for weeks.

 

[Macallan18]

I don’t like them together.

JT might need Marner

 

[The Big Swede13]

Matthews seemed to be playing the bumper there on PP1 interesting…
