GDT: Leafs @ Bruins 7PM HNIC

[saffronleaf]

every time the bottom six steps on the ice it's full tilt for the bruins.

 

[SprDaVE]

Awful period. Seriously lucky that it's tied.

 

[MSZ]

sheer domination by the bruins this period.

shots are 5 to fifteen. ridiculous.

26-1-3 at home.

That's some serious shit.

 

[Bellefour20]

The way things are going, I'm now curious to know who is reffing this game.

 

[Gallagbi]

Our stars could learn a lot from how the Bs top players move the puck and stay in motion

Sportsnet intermission

 

[Maplebeasts]

Not a good period. On the other hand the refs missing the thrown stick on the Bruins goal is un-f***ing-acceptable.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Yikes
Not a good period at all for us
I’m extremely worried about our playoff hopes unless we make sone serious changes
Sorry to say
We are at least 2 levels less and under the commitment of the Bruins and make up and philosophy

 

[hockeyes]

Leafs very lucky to be tied, gotta come out with a lot more intensity in the 2nd or this already over.

Now your talking

 

[Aashir]

Not the greatest period

Boston held play for a good chunks

Murray was solid though and kept it a tie game

Need to be more sharp and play in the ozone more

 

[Racer88]

Marchand's one of the least likeable players in the league, but he does know a thing or two about hockey. Maybe I'm biased here because he's saying basically exactly what my thoughts are, but what can I way, IMO he's 100% correct.

Something to think about for the "we'll never win a damn thing as long as Dubas is in charge" crowd and the "you can't win while paying such a high percentage of the cap to 4 players" crowd. Or not, whatever.

This team I believe can win it all. Yes, I've been saying that for years but I'm saying it again. Hopefully they show tonight what it is that makes me think that way. GLG!!

Meh those comments are just like the respect in the handshake nonsense. It’s easy to be gracious when you are the best team in the league.
As far as the we will never win with Dubas and the cap allocation the fact remains that we haven’t won squat and have lost first round 6 years in a row

 

[TMLAM34]

Refs have been awful…

 

[PromisedLand]

Murray should just throw his stick... its not a penalty in Boston, f***ing bullshit

right at the refs. they don't need eyes anyway; because they are f***ing blind

 

[Leafidelity]

Not a bad period. Very back and forth so far

 

[kb]

The hot takes are hilarious.

Never change.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

What were Tavares and Rielly even doing on the tying goal? Yes it was a giveaway but both sort of ignored Bergeron standing all alone in front of the net.

 

[BayStBullies]

The way things are going, I'm now curious to know who is reffing this game.

Here you go:

Tonight's Referees:

Referees Frederick L'Ecuyer (17), Eric Furlatt (27)
Linesmen Jesse Marquis (86), Kilian McNamara (93)

Keefe knows that they aren’t that great at hockey. His solution is to make sure they don’t play hockey on the ice

 

[Griffin76]

Holl is so horrible when he turns back with the puck. If he's facing up the ice he's fine. He turns to retreat behind the net or tries to send it around the boards behind the net and it's automatically on the opposition's stick. I'd rather the guy ice the puck than to see him turn back against the boards. It's almost like he's scared he's going to get hit against the boards and he panics.

 

[therealkoho]

He probably knows the rule, unlike our colour commentator….

And like almost everyone on this site

 

[frizzer1]

Ultimately, what will prevent the leafs from winning in the playoffs is that their bottom six provide no offence.
And that is the result of having no cap space to improve them.

 

[Gallagbi]

Awful period. Seriously lucky that it's tied.

I thought we were the better team for middle 10 min. First and last 5 were rough
