GDT: Leafs @ Flyers - Part 2

[Suntouchable13]

Nylander 5 - Pasta 35. **** you Dubas.

Let's hope he has a big season next year.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Nylander 5 - Pasta 35. **** you Dubas.

It's just so goddamn embarrassing...

 

[The Kessel Run]

Yikes! I missed the second. What the hell happened?

 

[crump]

Colby: "What was up with that Letang incident?"

Hartnell: "he was trying to take a bite of my cheek...oh wait...that was you"

 

[Koolboss]

Dofus is such a nerd lol

 

[pcruz]

To all of the optimists.

The way this team has played since December and especially the 2nd tonight. Please explain and convince me why you feel they have ANY chance in hell of beating Boston.

I will wait.

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.

Who even gives a **** anymore. Team doesnt look like its gonna get past round 1 again. Freddy ****ting the bed and defensively this team is a joke.

Would love to be wrong, but man, I've lost a lot of hope. Maybe im just being dramatic.

Ya I'm invested in seeing the season through. I'm watching like it's a car wreck now. **** it.

 

[saffronleaf]

Sportsnet is so bad

 

[Stephen]

And by the way - I am 99% sure that Babcock's system has our wingers collapsing in our own zone.

Notice how many goals against originate from shots at the point.

That’s just tonight.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Yikes! I missed the second. What the hell happened?

Poor defensive effort and apart from maybe 2-3 shifts we were always on our heels.

 

[ULF_55]

20 stupid players or 1 stupid system. What's more likely?

Either way, too much floating by the players.

I swear, if I see another waving stick "check" attempt.

Like twice

Obviously, with Gardiner and Dermott they'd be better, but something would still be stupid.

 

[Kiwi]

He did better than Matthews last year

Does he get a medal for playing better than a guy who sucked?

 

[Stephen]

One of those games where leafs don’t show the will or desire to even play the game.

What’s worse though, if they come back like they’re flipping a switch just to reinforce these bad patterns?

 

[PromisedLand]

Dear Leafs

 

[lottster14]

Have you seen him in the defensive zone all night? Stick checks, light fly bys. Defends like he’s in a basketball game and scared to foul out.

He's very overrated.

 

[Notsince67]

Auston Matthew's tonight

 

[CincoHolio]

It’s also ludicrously unlikely.

Unlikely, yes. Ludicrous? I wouldn't go that far the way the team has played over the last dozen or so games. We still have one more game against them so anything is possible.

 

[ToneDog]

Let's hope he has a big season next year.

Yeah in a Canes uniform. If all you bring to the table is offence, you gotta have more than 5 lousy goals. Heck, JT had 4 in one f'n game. If not, at least look f'n interested.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Like twice

Obviously, with Gardiner and Dermott they'd be better, but something would still be stupid.

Let's not pretend like with Dermott and Gardiner we were stellar defensively.

 

[keonsbitterness]

The only good thing about the Sportsnet intermissions are when the panel all gang up on Elliot Friedman for not knowing **** about hockey.

He's smarter than the rest of the panel combined in his sleep.

Seriously, I too always wonder why Friedman was put on the panel with real hockey men. The way the other guys glower at him, they'd bully him and flush his head down the toilet if this was still a mans world.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

I don't understand how you can be 6'3 223 lbs and be such a sissy.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I am thinking maybe missing training camp and 2 months of the season has an effect. I am just trying to be optimistic.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Expected goals are 2.76 to 2.5 for the flyers. Andersen is just getting outdueled again it seems

 

[lottster14]

2019 has just sucked the joy out of watching this team.

I hope they can get their **** together.

All I ****ing want is a series win against Boston.

You can lose four straight games to Tampa 10-0 and I won't complain.

Just don't lose to Boston.

Honestly feel like this series against the Bruins is going to be as frustrating as ever. Refs will be even worse than last year, we will show up when we want to etc. (yes, even in the playoffs sadly). I'm more excited to watch teams like Carolina in the playoffs. Having said that i hope Arizona sneaks in too

A man's world=bullying?
