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

[Amadeus]

Robertson has been full of energy and is hustling but his skill hasn’t shown. Seems tentative and a bit weak on the puck.

No space to be honest. Montreal doing well.

 

[PromisedLand]

Malhotra has been an absolute WASTE as a special teams coach.

Where is Paulrus?

 

[shaner82]

Reilly and Thornton pretty frustrating to watch tonight

I know what Reilly brings to the table, but I wouldn't resign him, not with what he is going to demand. He's just not worth it. Way too many shortcomings. Trade him or let him walk

 

[Gallagbi]

The net front guy on the PP only works if you get shots to the net...

When Willy is back load it up ffs. Quit messing around.

We have 1 guy who can shoot and he's constantly overplayed. 2 screens for 2 mediocre (at best) shooters is just a bad decision.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

This trash pp could kill the teams season

As much as you're infamous for hot takes, you might be right on this one.

If we have a 100% complete and utter lack of a PP in the playoffs, I see another first round exit.

I don't blame coaches or anything. I blame our outrageously expensive core forwards. This is ENTIRELY on them.

 

[fahad203]

Why doesn't Keefe just try maybe a speedster like Robs with Matthews instead of Joe

 

[mcleafs]

Guys I get the frustration, but nothing will change til Rielly is removed. No other mix up matters. They’ve tried it already.

Rielly on the PP is a 4v4 with a 5th guy who occasionally just gives the puck away.

 

[IPS]

Oh great now we have Thornton anchoring the Matthews and Marner line. Keefe is insane.

Infuriating to say the least..

 

[Stephen]

Rielly with that great decision making for a weak high wrister.

Rielly’s signature play is to get his passing lane to the RW cut off, takes two steps left and shoot an arcing floor hockey style shot that gets blocked.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Trying to force Thornton into situations is just silly. He has no business on the PP or on line 1.

 

[Havoc]

I've been seeing for a while we need to go 5 forwards to fix the PP. No D on this team has any powerplay skills.

Matthews was in selke talks before injury. Hyman is our D guru. Marner is Pk1. We're in good hands still.

 

[MSZ]

If I were Keefe, I would spend the entire next 3 practices working on just the PP and nothing else.

They have been doing this at practices for weeks. It's clearly a coaching issue, they have ran out of ideas.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Yes.

Joe with Marner/Matthews.

f***ing sweet.

 

[Crosscrease14]

Priority #1 is figuring out the powerplay before the playoffs

 

[IronHalen]

LOL Keefe. Thornton playing like doodoo? Put him on the first line!!!

 

[DarkKnight]

For sure reward Joe with some top line time, I mean he’s feeling it.

 

[Stephen]

Rielly with that great decision making for a weak high wrister.

[Not My Tempo]

It blows my mind how we have the best goal scorer in the world and Rielly and Marner are shooting for tips from Simmonds and Thornton

 

[The Big Swede13]

Why the hell is Jumbo getting rewarded with 1st line minutes

 

[Stonehands 1]

The pp must be changed.
Load it up

we"ve already got two thats alloted to us

[Marshy]

Thornton ....just wow ...never seen a player stand still so much.

 

[Teeder Keon]

It’s ok
But Galches worse game

 

[Leaffan1991]

Joe deserves to be on first line clearly

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Is Thornton's number tricking Keefe and Malhotra into thinking he's McDavid?

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Joe on the top line, let's goo

 

[Teeder Keon]

Even Hyman my son is very normal

 

[Beyonder91]

Rielly would be fine on the second pairing. The problem is if he gets paid as a #1...

 

[hamzarocks]

come on boys don't lose to these guys

 

[Gallagbi]

Tavares line has been our best tonight
