GDT: Leafs @ Canucks at 7:00pm Sat, Feb 12th on CBC and Sportsnet

[Havoc]

This is why I'm not worried about offence against Florida/Tampa. Leafs are good at scoring when the game is going back and forth. Defence/goaltending becomes the issue against the good teams.

These weak teams collapse the slot and clog everything up, because Leafs keep them out of our zone and don't give them a choice, so our looks are worse, and players are often shooting flat-footed.

Fair. Boston series came down to needing a save. The last 2 against weaker teams (I assume you mean weaker playoff team and not actual weak teams) came down to needing a goal.

Why do you respond to me? You already know your opinion is worthless and your hockey knowledge is 0.

How was my response incorrect.
I was just completely your nonsense comment about them dominating.
My comment is as accurate as yours

 

[Stolie the Goalie]

Now that’s a name I never thought I’d see brought up nowadays

Well it has been 10 years.

 

[PromisedLand]

Bunting-Matthews-Marner
Engvall-Kerfoot-Nylander
Mikheyev-Tavareres-Kase
Simmonds-Kampf-Spezza

gotta get some 5 on 5 stuff going. Keefe better start coaching

 

[Sypher04]

How the hell was that high stick not a double minor? There was clearly blood on Rielly’s nose

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Guys I sound like I've smoked my whole life. Can we get a f***ing good period

 

[Man Bear Pig]

5v5 numbers since January 1st:

Shots against/60: 5th fewest in the league
Expected Goals against: 4th fewest in the league
High Danger Chances Against: 2nd fewest in the league

Team save%: 32nd in the league....worse than Montreal.....worse than the Devils...worse than everyone...with top 5 friggin D numbers!!

This is what I'm saying. The Leafs offense and defense has been excellent. Sometimes goalies go cold, but not this cold.

 

[Teeder Keon]

He had some killer sideburns.

Yeah, forgot about that.

I think that was an old cut tbh.

And there have been a lot of bad goals given up.

Refs didn't want to deal with Vancouver fans whining. I'm sure they're already pretty upset plating an afternoon game.

 

[frizzer1]

Matthews. Marner. Nylander. Rielly.
This core doesn’t come around very often.
But it’s being wasted.
And in my opinion the problem started when they signed Tavares.
Salary cap was killed.

Yeah, they've been winning in spite of goaltending (and Holl.)

This is why it's stupid when squishy fans whine about our goalies winning games and ignore swings like this.

 

[PromisedLand]

If either Mrazek or Campbell don't figure their shit out we are going out in 5 games in the 1st round. There is no other way to say it then we have to get .920 save % or better to have a shot.

against CBJ andersen posted .936

against habs campbell posted .934

Leafs gotta find a way to score in the playoffs; especially the core 4

 

[Aashir]

This could be game set and match

 

[NinjaKick]

this aint bowling

 

[LastOne2100]

Got away with one there

The PP was a huge problem and it looks like they got that fixed nicely.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

The ice is horrendous. You'd think this game was in Toronto.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Lmao not sure how Marner got away with that

 

[Aashir]

Well that Marner is an even up call or non call

 

[Dave92]

Lol how did Marner not get called for that.

 

[keonsbitterness]

this aint bowling

This is a Wendy's.

 

[BeLeafing]

I say this while being well aware I'm happy it wasn't, but good lord that's absurd Marner wasn't called there lmao
