GDT: Leafs at Jets - 7pm.

[2 Slick]

Might as well make Rielly a forward. He doesn't know how to defend.

 

[Stephen]

Seriously. This is happening almost every game now.

Every other shift. Would be interested to see what the game film is on that. He’s always out of position anyway but he’s gotta be doing something systematically wrong for this to happen all the time.

 

[fahad203]

I missed it.. Is Mikeyhev playing???

Yes he is. Even when he's healthy, if he's not missing opportunities on breakways he's not very visible

 

[HockeyVirus]

I missed it.. Is Mikeyhev playing???

Yup

 

[Griffin76]

You angle towards your guy, but don't attack like he did and leave him wide open. Closer to a 2on1 than what we saw from Rielly. Which wasn't much of anything other than pulling himself out of position

So again I ask is he supposed to leave Dubois alone and try to play both? Dubois is the bigger threat because it's a shorter pass and he's in the middle of the ice.

Mo is the Taylor Hall of defensemen.

 

[saffronleaf]

Glad to see Thornton get on the board. He has been struggling for a while.

 

[forecheck]

Pionk is way too small to play that aggressively. He’s Gunna lose his head tonight if he wants to play that type of game

That doesnt happen anymore bud - Everyone is 10 feet tall now- no accountability

 

[fahad203]

I have more faith in our forwards to play better defensively

 

[Leafsfan74]

Joe now the oldest Leaf to ever score a goal. History is made.

More importantly, the fourth line is becoming a factor of late.

 

[theTTC]

Dubois with a nice sucker punch on Brodie there. What a gutless player

No, just smart - Dubois and Jets understand there will be no push back. Gutless is right, you just referred to the wrong team.

 

[saffronleaf]

Do we need to use Reilly in a more sheltered role a la Barrie?

 

[Twine Tickler]

Reilly’s awareness is so f***in absent. Brodie in deep, no one covering and he try’s to make a play at the line to keep the puck in. Should have been an easy breakaway the other way

 

[fahad203]

This is back to back shift that Tavares line is hemmed in given up grade a chances

 

[NK94]

Man, Rielly’s defensive shortcomings are terribly noticeable tonight.

f***, he just had Nylander bail him out down low and he almost just pinched again.

 

[mapleleaf979]

If diva Nylander shows up we win 5-2, if not 4-3 either way

 

[forecheck]

I can't wait until we have a #1 defenseman with a brain

Oh - so where do you expect to get this # 1 D man - We have no high draft picks and no one gives them away in trades and we dont have any money because the prima donnas took it all - so let me know WHERE ?

 

[fahad203]

Good shift by Matthews line there

 

[HockeyVirus]

Oh - so where do you expect to get this # 1 D man - We have no high draft picks and no one gives them away in trades and we dont have any money because the prima donnas took it all - so let me know WHERE ?

Calm down we have Marincin in our system still don't forget that. We'll be fine.

 

[Stonehands 1]

Good Game

 

[Dave92]

Campbell looks comfortable despite the early goal. Always a good sign.

 

[NinjaKick]

that puck control from willy... damn

 

[HockeyVirus]

Brooks has been very good.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Aargh Spezza fanned on the backhand. Great feed from Brooks.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Brooks is having a monster period out there.
