GDT: Leafs @ Flames 9:00pm on SN1 and SNO

[francis246]

So we're just going to ignore the fact that Lucic was wide open in the slot and hop straight to blaming Andy after making a few big saves.. this fanbase is ridiculous lol

well the puck literally bounced off a skate right to him. Can’t get much luckier than that. But it wasn’t really a blown coverage

 

[Racer88]

I don’t think they are playing as bad as some people are making it seem. It was expected Calgary was going to push back. But once we get out of our d zone we are creating solid scoring chances

They have been outshot 15-3 in this period......ya it’s that bad. Lol

 

[Gallagbi]

Gotta make some of these chances count - the Nylander slot chance, the 2on1 with Mik/JT, that Marner chance. At least get a SOG

 

[ottomaddox]

come on leafs. you have to beat boucher!

 

[Jojalu]

Need to persevere here! 8 games in 14 nights can't be an excuse( although it is a factor).

Calgary doesn't want to fall 7 points behind so early in the year. They will come out hard in the 3rd

 

[Man Bear Pig]

I am really starting to sour on Mikheyev.

The puck was bouncing.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

We've missed the net on some glorious chances.

 

[hamzarocks]

Man marner made a very good play to get to the net, but he needs to get his shot on net. Overall he has been great today with several great passes, but we need him to finish there next time

 

[Gallagbi]

Bogo should creep up a bit when Simmonds drifts into the pile, but it's understandable why he may have been reluctant

 

[Notsince67]

Shorten the bench. Start with second line

He need to stop trying to pick corners.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

This will be tied before the end of the period

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Shots are sort of misleading, since the Leafs have had great chances that have missed the net. Still a horrible period though, and completely wasting an excellent first period

 

[Leaffan1991]

Nylander missed a shift, Keefe is probably annoyed at him.
Also people saying Mik is useless besides skating?? He does so much more he's great defensively, creates penalties with his speed, excellent on PK and a good passer

 

[likecheese]

Kind of luck you eventually get when you're in the o-zone the whole period.

 

[PromisedLand]

Toronto has looked like they have been on the penalty kill all period.

now imagine how tough it would be for the goalie to continuously been in crouched position laterally moving all the time as the puck is in your zone for majority of the period

 

[mcleafs]

I’m starting to wonder if 5-0 wins allowing less than 15 shots is the only acceptable result for many of you to determine when the Leafs play well.

 

[francis246]

lmao we scored on one of those shots and almost scored on another. Also if Marner could hit the net that would be nice. The leafs got hemmed in for a bit but honestly not that bad

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

It's one of the worst periods of hockey this team has played in a couple of years. It really is that bad. I assume thy're gassed which I guess is understandable after all of this hockey.

You think this period is good enough? You have horridly low standards.

To be fair, I don't doubt the guys are absolutely knackered.

Top teams, can just about weather the storm. Let's see if we can. If we do, I think it'll be a huge win for the guys.

 

[TMLeafer]

Finally a chance to see a Lehtonen shot.

Nice breakout Mikheyev

 

[keonsbitterness]

But when we do break their cycle, we get two-on-ones. Crazy!

 

[hamzarocks]

Lethenon with a bomb

meh a bit of an overreaction in my opinion. Def not our worst period of hockey. We sucked ass against Ottawa.
