GDT: Leafs at Montreal 7 P.M. (EST)

[meefer]

Are you serious?
Let his man walk right in and basically take an open shot from 10 feet out.

Whatever, this is tiring, not you specifically, just the hot takes to blame Rielly.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

Campbell needs rest. Hopefully we sit him for a couple games. Guy has been unreal. Can't ask much more. Don't care about the win here. Just want Matthews to pot goals and the boys to be playoff ready. A point tonight would be fine with me.

 

[CelticDruid]

What the hell was Muzzin’s doing there? How could he that gassed?

Wasn't that Holl?

 

[The Apologist]

Brodie was the one who made that play happen, pinched up and had his shot blocked on a normal chance

Yup, and you just know had it been Brodie and Rielly swapped that Rielly would have been blamed for pinching. Let them have it. You'll notice it's the same 3-4 names every time.

 

[Not My Tempo]

On that 2-on-1, after Brodie takes the shot, Mikheyev turns around for a second to see where the shot went and so is flat footed when the puck goes the other way.

 

[Gallagbi]

It's funny, Rielly doesn't play the situation well, he doesn't read the back pressure or play to it, but it doesn't really matter. He still forces Anderson into a low percentage bad angle shot that should be stopped.

 

[Aashir]

I thought Campbell would be a 100% flawless goalie and the leafs would win 120 games in a row and two cups. And anything less than that is unacceptable.

The third goal was a backbreaking goal. Need a save there with the way the team was pushing, Allen’s made a couple very good ones. Sounds familiar??? Nah just kidding, hope he can shut the door in the 3rd

 

[Jmo89]

Matthews needs to get another hatty.

 

[The Apologist]

No chance, you block the pass and leave the goalie to take the shot. If he cheats, it's leaving the goalie having to expect both options are possible.

Hockey 101.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Bad luck for us it had to be Rielly. He really just let him walk in and rip the shot off.

Yeah he's supposed to take the pass away

 

[saffronleaf]

Getting to the net and scoring goals you have been Auston Matthews!

Ya thanks bye.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Yeah Campbell was way too deep, off the angle, and down way too early. Made it extremely easy to score there.

In fact got lucky on the Byron shot as he was wayyyy over on that one , any other shot us in
Sorry have to call it
2 bad games in a row from him
Let’s see if he can serve up some hot soup in the 3rd

 

[PromisedLand]

We won the 2nd period.

Lets win the 3rd period; win the game, get the 2 points and tell montreal to F OFF

 

[CanadasTeam]

Campbell is totally hanging his team out to dry.

He's on the hook for Red Lobster again if they somehow pull out a win.

 

[Not My Tempo]

Please fix the PP

 

[Zybalto]

Did I see that last Habs goal wrong?

Looked like a bad bounce off an actually beauty chance for Brodie that led to a 2 on 1 the Leafs got decently back for, even with some pressure on the shooter but Campbell blew his positioning either just playing to far back or cheating a bit thinking there was going to be pass and did against, of all people, a shooter like Anderson.

99% of the blame on that is Campbell really.

 

[CelticDruid]

It's funny, Rielly doesn't play the situation well, he doesn't read the back pressure or play to it, but it doesn't really matter. He still forces Anderson into a low percentage bad angle shot that should be stopped.

Unfortunately, Reilly has committed that error twice already.

 

[Havoc]

Could really use the zone entry god in games like this. #FreeBill

 

[Beyonder91]

He cheats the shooter, the pass goes across and 'oh my god Rielly, what are you doing, your job is to make sure the pass doesn't...' The new Gardiner is correct.

It wasn't a clean two on one... He needs to slide aggressively at Anderson. I guarantee you that Brodie wouldn't have let Anderson rip a shot there.
Rielly is unable to read the play defensively. He also had a play tonight where he forgot he and Brodie had switched sides during the play and went hard to the left side leaving a Hab player wide open to walk on for a quality shot.

 

[Budz]

Watch it again - the back pressure gets there if they pass.

The 44 apologists are alive and well.

 

[Bigmarycombo]

Don’t you posters know by now we should never lose a game, never make a bad play or never give up an easy goal. No other team in the league has bad games only us. That’s why they are all 56 and 0.
And we are sucking bad.

 

[saffronleaf]

Need Matthews to step it up and start contributing more tonight

 

[mcleafs]

It's funny, Rielly doesn't play the situation well, he doesn't read the back pressure or play to it, but it doesn't really matter. He still forces Anderson into a low percentage bad angle shot that should be stopped.

Bingo. He’s a dummy who’s no good but he lucked his way to the right play. Jack blew it. Boys need to come out big in the 3rd.

 

[Petrus]

Campbell has set an NHL record of consecutive wins for a goalie to start a season. Are we expecting him not to lose ever?

 

[Suntouchable13]

I really expected Campbell to not lose a single game till the end of the regular season, and go 16-0 in the playoffs with 1.5 GAA and .950 sv %

Yes, he is having a bad game. It's ok to call like it is, but that doesn't mean he is flaking out or that he sucks.

 

[Beyonder91]

Yeah, it's ridiculous. There is no consistency in the whining around here.

The only consistency is Rielly's poor hockey IQ. He demonstrates it every game.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Who the f*** was saying any of this?

I'm... uh... mocking those that are criticizing Campbell right now. I don't understand the confusion.
