GDT: Leafs @ Caps - 7:30 - SN

[Anthrax442]

What is this shit?

 

[Stephen]

This is definitely a week to load manage your eyes.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Whether we like it or not, that bed is made. They will commit to all of them, including Tavares, for the long-term.

Yep. Every else we do is pretty pointless to be honest. But I suppose we'll just continue to go along with it.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Haven’t exactly been getting many bounces last couple of games. It’s been tough going for sure.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

We are a team full of cardio merchants. 2 steps forward and then 2 back all year long.

 

[wingman75]

This is worse than last night I think... or close to it.

Like, it's shift after shift of nothing. Then a mistake. Then a goal against. Then hours of nothing again.

Big money players generating next to nothing other than the one play by JT.

Ridiculous. I thought this would be a bridge year, but holy crap batman.

 

[Confucius]

I didn't watch the 3rd last night. Looks like I'm doing the same tonight.

It will get better

 

[CelticDruid]

I did have lamb chops

Do you use mint sauce?

 

[frizzer1]

Well, there always next year.

 

[Leafs87]

We have reached the year where scrapping the bottom of the bucket hasn’t yielded in finding any NHL level talent

 

[6ix]

This team either looks great or absolutely terrible. There’s no in between, and they look awful far too often.

 

[Stephen]

All we do is pass around the perimeter and then take a weak terrible shot into legs. Pathetic.

It’s like they have the talent sliders set to full “Berube” and the work ethic slider to full “Keefe.”

 

[ACC1224]

He quit ages ago.

Who was it?

 

[fahad203]

Do you use mint sauce?

Habibi pls... garlic sauce all day

 

[NastyKnies]

Dog shit

 

[1specter]

At this point I wouldn't mind this team just falling flat on its face so some actual f***ing change happens. This is a god damn joke

 

[Aashir]

Marner and nylander have been god awful

Marner has been so useless two way, invisible offensively and a pylon defensively

Nylander has just been awful.

 

[GoonieFace]

It’s only November…..wait till we go on our yearly November run

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Great response after last night's no show.....

 

[Leafidelity]

Id agree if we had a 1st round pick this year. Or our 2nd. Or 3rd. Or 4th.

 

[Martin Skoula]

McCabe fumbled the puck twice on consecutive shifts

That’s the problem with the team. Or one of them. NO puck talent on the back end. An ancient OEL and an overplayed Rielly are nothing compared to contending teams who have actual talent on the back end.

It’s not just McCabe, this has been a problem for the entire rebuild era. I’ve never seen a “skilled team” bobble pucks this much, we have to lead the league in unforced losses of possession over the last decade. Missed passes, mishandled pucks, pucks shot into shin pads or just fanned on, you name it. I just don’t get how Matthews and Marner can at the same time steal and immediately control impossible midair pucks on one shift and then whiff a simple unpressured pass the next.

 

[CelticDruid]

Who was it?

You're so obvious, dude.

 

[Aashir]

Whether we like it or not, that bed is made. They will commit to all of them, including Tavares, for the long-term.

Didn’t you say Washington would struggle to get anything?

theyve scored 3 and had one called back and have generally outplayed us

 

[wingman75]

Who was it?

I actually don't know, just assumed based off how the last couple games have been going ha ha.

You can ignore me, I'm just bitter with the effort and (lack of) execution this week.

 

[3blizzard4]

Oilers getting hot. They are next. They won’t be easy to say the least.
