GDT: Leafs @ Caps - 7:30 - SN

[Macallan18]

these guys cant defend, Cant score, gonna be a long year....

They can score, but are playing a very defensive system which emphasizes their weaknesses (shiity d men) and eliminates their star offense

 

[Racer88]

Not Marners fault, but when they kill a penalty Marner is the only one on the ice

lol. It’s never Marners fault because he is this awesome defensive juggernaut

 

[CelticDruid]

Marner with a second straight game so far.

Now watch him score.

I agree it wasnt his fault but your statement does ring true

 

[Aashir Mallik]

B2B games where we look super unskilled compared to the other team

The games on Sportsnet. You should watch if you’re going to comment.

 

[Macallan18]

Don't make excuses for Timmins

Timmins was in position in front of the net, OEL was pirouetting and oblivious.
OEL is coming down to earth in his play

 

[DarkKnight]

So many little angry ankle biters lol. Ruff ruff little guy.

 

[Confucius]

Marner with a second straight game so far.

Now watch him score.

He made a nice pass at the start, I guess it’s his fault no goal was scored

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Timmins has to go he's absolute garbage he's been better than previous years but that's not saying much.

And right he's DIRECTLY responsible for them being down, and that's not even counting the previous stupid offensive zone turnover which caused another chance.

To be fair, the sequence prior Timmins did some real nice board work, should have been the end of the o zone possession.

 

[BallardEra]

Pretty solid game so far.

Caps look a lot faster than last season.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

B2B games where we look super unskilled compared to the other team

This team is literally a bunch of plugs surrounding an overpaid, underachieving core so that's to be expected.

Our D core especially must be the least skilled in the league. At least Stolarz has been a surprise this year.

I think he has Justin Holl type upside but you can’t over use or over trust him like he’s prime Pietrangelo. He’s got a the right build and some raw tools but you have to proceed with caution.

 

[GoonieFace]

Are you referring to the turnover at the blue line?

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Leafs look like a team that was managed by Kyle Dubas for 5 years

You are joking right? We have Rielly, a number one defenceman*

Expecting perfection from any defender never mind a bottom pairing one is pretty silly.

Been watching from the start big man. I respectfully suggest you try the same thing. Watch with an open mind and you will see that your Darling Mitch is not the can do no wrong player that you think he is

"Justin Holl type upside is not a good thing.

Justin Holl was trash

If you’re watching and concluded that second goal was on Marner good luck to you.

Mobile D and everyone can move the puck. Their young forwards can fly

He’s had little development time with all his injuries, think he has played very well this year and has huge upside. Time will tell.
OEL on the other hand has started reverting to form, acceptable enough bottom pairing but pretty weak in his own end.

He needs a strong partner. Hopefully Berube finds combos he’s happy with and gives them time to build chemistry.
