GDT: Leafs at Jets - 7pm.

[6ix]

Brooks has vision

 

[2 Slick]

Twice Spezza can't take a good pass. Waste of a good chance

 

[The Examiner]

Brooks and Spezza have been good together.

 

[Ramboshaw]

Adam Brooks hockey IQ is pretty friggin high

 

[Burnie97]

Didn't get much out of it but good shift by Tavares line. Look engaged tonight.

 

[saffronleaf]

Good shift from JT line but need to generate good scoring chances with the o-zone time.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Dubois and Ehlers really love blowing the zone early looking for breakaways.

 

[fahad203]

Brooks has been very good.

Impressive. I was critical of him and I still may but he's been better than Engvall

 

[TMLeafer]

A playable 4th line is great.

 

[Nylander88]

Personally pumped for playoffs this year. I just feel like this team is a little bit different. I know we had that slump where everyone talks like the sky is falling...but we have so much more leadership in the room. Guys who know what to say and when to say it, along with being the grittiest team we've had in a long time. We're far from a team that'll run you through the boards, but we have definitely improved in the grit area compared to playoffs past

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. View attachment 425964

dont worry. 99% of the rielly bashers have never played a game of competitive hockey. Agree with you, that was just a real slick pass from stastny and a silky finish to boot

1-2 steps towards our net puts him in the passing lane Stastny chose and close enough to Dubois to step up if a pass goes there. He needs to be playing it as a contain situation, which he isn't.

He makes a choice to pursue and pressure Dubois needlessly which opens up a dangerous lane. Ends up in our net as a result.

The choice here isn't which man he should cover, it's what area he should be in to limit the danger before he has to make that choice

 

[The Examiner]

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

Puck was bouncing. It’s been doing that all night.

Smart, simple and hard.
I like his game.

 

[danron1376]

this adam brooks guy just might be a regular player for us

 

[2 Slick]

Engvall is about as useless of a player that it can get, so that would not be a fair comparison. Lol

 

[fahad203]

A playable 4th line is great.

You are not missing Barabanov?

 

[Teeder Keon]

No. I don't want that filth on my team.

I do , I don’t like him at all , love to have him though , he’s a winner

 

[Not My Tempo]

Sandin is so good

 

[peconcan]

Galchenyuk is going to have to answer the bell tonight by the looks of it

 

[socko]

Puck rolled on Spezza.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Heh hehehe... Prince Albert

 

[forecheck]

Good scouting report !

 

[fahad203]

Galchenyuk is going to have to answer the bell tonight by the looks of it

He can answer back by scoring few goals. That would be so sweet

 

[McSnypsky]

Brooks looks good but I think that Nash will play come playoffs

 

[Nylander88]

I still need to see him in the playoffs

That's fair. He seems like he's embracing moving from a top 3 overall skill guy, to a guy who's just a pain in the rear to play against. Wouldn't call him tough or gritty, but he just seems annoying. Forechecks hard
