GDT: Leafs @ Flyers - Part 2

[mikeyz]

Go be negative somewhere else.

So you have nothing?

Gotcha.

 

[93LEAFS]

Bad play by Rielly, but how the hell does that happen?

 

[lovemyleafs]

rielly is average at best defensively.

 

[Gallagbi]

How was that not an icing? Looked like it.

Andersen plays it to the corner ...for whatever reason

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

Rielly so terrible tonight

 

[ULF_55]

No that wasn't Marincin!!!

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Tough night for Rielly, that's two on him. Wtf is Andersen doing?

How was that on Andersen?

 

[lottster14]

Losers.

 

[Pi]

Close to icing but it touched Andersen...

 

[Maplebeasts]

It's not just the turnover. Where was ANYONE to cover the Flyer in front?

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Contract is bad enough without making up numbers.

What about that was a lie? When TERM is considered, Matthews is the highest paid player. Take his aav to 8 years, and it's far higher than McDavid's.

 

[DanM]

And there’s that stellar leafs defence again

Shush

We have a top notch team, not allowed to share that opinion.

 

[Wendelstache]

3 defenseman on that goal and no one knows how to play defense.

 

[TMLeafer]

Dumb team

Forwards late again too.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Remember, when you apply actual facts, hes not.

Term isn't part of the equation?

 

[Sypher04]

I am PRETTY sure all of us love AM, thanks for the smart ass remark.

It is the fact he will be paid a HUGE part of our cap, and is ONLY a 70 point player who rarely looks engaged.

His talent is undeniable.

If he plays like he can, he is worth a blank cheque.

Saying Matthews "rarely looks engaged" is just not remotely true

 

[stickty111]

Rielly is a disaster defensively. One thing that he hasn't improved in.

 

[mikeyz]

I'll give you a great reason.

In terms of absolute skill, the Leafs have Boston completely dominated, especially down the middle.
They can play complete games, as in they have the capability.
The game against Tampa Bay when Vasilevsky returned from injury was all Toronto, Tampa had no business being in the game at all, except for the goalie stealing the result.

Boston will rely heavily on their solitary offensive line and also on Chara on the back end.
If the Leafs can somehow wear down big Z and mitigate the damage from that incredible first line, there is a great chance they win the series.

If the Leafs play like this second period, we can all get ready for the Raptors' playoffs.

Can't say that I disagree

 

[Gallagbi]

How was that on Andersen?

He plays it to the corner putting Rielly in that spot

 

[Crispy Crust]

That's another game with 4+ goals given up.

 

[34]

They can still miss the playoffs.

 

[sxvnert]

"You cant blame Morgan Rielly!"

Thats the only person you can blame on that.

 

[CincoHolio]

Once again, Freddy is getting hung out to dry.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Lazy players taking their sweet time getting back.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I'm not sure that was on Rielly. He was outnumbered, and his partner didn't cover anyone

 

[Muston Atthews]

Wow Marleau is baaaad

 

[The Kessel Run]

Marleau handled that like a hand grenade.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

No he isn’t what a stupid comment. In total money he earns less than a ton of players and per year he earns left than mcdavid. Sorry you consistently make stupid posts like this. At no point in this deal does he earn more than mcdavid

Term is a MAJOR part of the negotiation process for an rfa. Being in denial about that is just... well... being in denial.

 

[Bomber0104]

And there’s that stellar leafs defence again

How could Dubas' spreadsheet let this happen?

 

[Gallagbi]

What about that was a lie? When TERM is considered, Matthews is the highest paid player. Take his aav to 8 years, and it's far higher than McDavid's.

We know his AAV and we know McDavids. McDavids is higher. That's why I said he's the second highest paid player
