GDT: Leafs @ Chicago - Wednesday 7:30

[MarnerElite]

Bunting is one of two of the top 6 that has been actually useful and gives a solid effort every shift.

You must be watching a different game then...Also, i don't give a shit about guys who look like they are trying but keep turning pucks over, can't make plays, etc(which is half of this team)...If it wasn't for Austin and Mitch(on most nights because i hate his game sometimes too), i wouldn't watch this team at all.

 

[PromisedLand]

These playoff losses are permanent scars, you don’t get to just move forward. This group is damaged. It’s like Gardiner, they’ve seen too much now.

Tavares is embarrassing as a captain right now and Matthew’s simply doesn’t have another gear, he looks like he does every game. Where’s the guy to put this team on his back and change the channel?????

Kadri and Hyman should be joining the team soon after they are back from LTIR

oh wait...

 

[Dave92]

Is it possible to get less out of people than Sheldon Keefe does without physically harming them?

 

[Aashir]

Auston Matthews is going to go down as the most talented perennial loser in the NHL in a long time.

Insane skill, horrendous leadership, just can’t win. The next Joe Thornton.

Even joe Thornton won playoff rounds

 

[klmdg]

Only way to salvage this night is if the boys retreat back to Muskoka during the intermission

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Keys from the first:

Muzzin-Holl no good.
Campbell is not a no.1
Rielly isn't worth 9 mil. Jones out classed him with ease. Rielly used to look like that but that was 3 years ago.

 

[Stephen]

For the Leafs players sake, they might have to go back to zero fans in the building for Saturday night.

 

[CelticDruid]

This team is Dubas.

Soft underbelly, rolling around like a puppy waiting for its tickles.

Belly rubs for all, soothing words and safe spaces, all are welcome.

Even if you can't skate.

"Maybe the Marlies are doing better and I can watch fun hockey..."

*Losing 3-0 to the Rockets after 1 period*

[shaner8989]

Anyone else cheering Chicago? Its the best thing long term.

This franchise is a f***ing joke

 

[Kiwi]

Build from the net out. Defense in the second layer

Those positions rely on each other to be successful

Campbell isn't God, he needs some help and he's getting nothing

 

[socko]

This team is serious crap. Even if they stopped pouting and actually tried, the talent isn't there anymore.

 

[Aashir]

Uhhhh, nothing personal, but I'd suggest raising your expectations.

Hey instead of getting blown out in the 2nd, they skipped the bullshit and did it in the 1st. Love that, take no shit attitude

 

[BTP]

marner should not have the A on his shirt until he puts his big boy pants on and give a dam

stop shitting on 1 player. Marner had a decent period. The whole team needs to be shit on not 1 player.

 

[Bg19]

Remember when Dubas protected Justin Holl at the expansion draft?

Lmao he's absolutely clueless from the start, was handed a group that saved him from being exposed for a couple of years but once he started inking some deals it was clear he was in over his head.

 

[Stephen]

This team is Dubas.

Soft underbelly, rolling around like a puppy waiting for its tickles.

Belly rubs for all, soothing words and safe spaces, all are welcome.

Even if you can't skate.

They look like they need his Buddy Holly glasses.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

HEY! You...."advanced" stats advocates. The Leafs had 11 shots that period. By the eye test, NONE of them were "high danger" or even dangerous.

What do your "advanced" metrics say?

 

[ruaware41]

Holl chipped it up and the next idiot didn’t have sense to get in deep and was more concerned about getting off the ice.
Horrible play all around.

Sounds like a “team” playing for their +\-

 

[leafsfan5]

When do they return home so we can boo the shit out of them

 

[forecheck]

i mean i still didn't like it, i wanted them to keep mccann and expose holl

i really really really hate holl and i have since he started

he isn't good but keeps getting free passes because he sometimes plays ok

But he plays for cheap and thats all they can afford

 

[killer1980]

Not really watching anymore, SO is though so I am seeing the shit show. Entire franchise should be blown up. Create a new one. This one is done.

 

[CelticDruid]

On the plus side, we’re losing to the worst team in hockey, embroiled in one of the worst scandals in recent memory.

Both teams have had problems with abuse in their buildings.

For the Leafs players sake, they might have to go back to zero fans in the building for Saturday night.

Leafs need a lockdown to flourish.

 

[Canadian Finn]

For the Leafs players sake, they might have to go back to zero fans in the building for Saturday night.

I grabbed four tickets from work for next Saturdays game...dont even know who they are playing.

Amazing that they weren't spoken for.

Part of the reason why Marner seems so bad is because Tavares is snake bit. Just awful.
