GDT: Leafs at Seattle 9pm Feb 14th on SNO,east,west

[Wendelstache]

Least fault goes to Campbell. He got hung out to dry.

dude hasn't made a timely save since 2021.

 

[fahad203]

yea Keefe gotta do some f***ing coaching here. He has to BREAK the Nylander-Tavares pairing.

Tavares has been a shit show he needs to get fed some 3rd line minutes

Bunting-Matthews-Marner
Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Nylander
Tavares-Kampf-Kase
Spezza line

JT is too slow to play center

if he's going to try stuff, try it now if it works. Changing lines in playoffs maybe too little too late

Especially when you need a goal. Even Babcock used to stack Tavares with Matthews

 

[BrannigansLaw]

It seems like it took them like 15-20 games to adjust to him not being there and bunting being more than a puck hound. But since then…. Man O man have they been good

Hyman was the most overrated player by this fan base. The way some people talked about him, they made it sound like the Matthews line would be neutered without his forechecking.

 

[Stephen]

This 2nd line? Not good

Nylander and Tavares look completely out of sync with each other and are both completely out of it individually.

 

[McSnypsky]

Why did Nylander choose to do that?

to keep puck possession I assume

 

[Apotheosis]

Let's go, Matthews PP goal pls

 

[francis246]

Holl couldn't clear; he needed to get the puck higher and the Kraken were able to skate fast enough to seal the wall, but at least that was the smart play.

Muzzin had a bad pinch. He was way too late to react if that is what he wanted to do. Nylander's decision though was just fundamentally awful. He is at the end of a minute and a half shift and he decides to go backwards to more tired players?

Comes down to hating Holl for screwing up the right play, or Muzzin/Nylander being too stupid to make a rather easy decision?

i get that but when you’re out there for almost 3 minutes trying to get the puck out when you got 2/3 forwards barrelling down on you is hard af. At least he tried to make the right play. Nylander literally had time and space and just decided I’m gonna put the puck back into our zone where we were just hemmed. It’s a dumb decision

 

[aingefan]

When Willie was scoring, he was fighting for the puck and getting his nose dirty.

Now he seems to be skating around like a primadonna.

He skated hard to break up a chance earlier that shift, but yeah….sometimes.

let’s go PP.

 

[Teeder Keon]

The most bland boring play by play team in the history of sports tonight

 

[fahad203]

Dying seconds.

That Russian kid who was going to hand that puck and didn't. I would not want be him in that locker room

 

[therealkoho]

I still think Keefe needs to get Nylander onto a different line. I don’t like him and Tavares together. Tavares has been mediocre 5v5 as well. Play JT with other slow players who can’t skate. Get Nylander with Kampf/Mikheyev

Kerfoot is one of the fastest Leafs

 

[MSZ]

My bad. I forgot that was Gagner

Thanks for correction

He had 11 consecutive points in two games, which actually broke Wayne's record.

 

[Apotheosis]

Honestly I would ty Miky and Kerfoot with Nylander. Pure speed line.

 

[Apotheosis]

BUNTING NUMBER 2

 

[TMLeafer]

Bunt!

Or Kase's skate?

 

[Teeder Keon]

Out PP1 smell blood

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Bunting is a beast.

 

[BeLeafing]

Grubauer is horrible lol

 

[Griffin76]

Wow the 2nd PP looks great

 

[Cleetus]

Bunting double dipped!

 

[keonsbitterness]

BOOM goes the dynamite!

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Playing against a sucky goalie is a rare but fun experience

 

[aingefan]

That was like 20 passes.
Beauty.

 

[leafsfan5]

That PP was nice

 

[DarkKnight]

Spezza so smart.
