GDT: Leafs @ Flyers - Part 2

[Legion34]

Tell the posters here first. Seems like half this board wants him off this team.

Yep. Worst fan base in the league. They eat their own. Have to pit one against the other.

My bet is Matthews leaves.

Kinda hope he does. Not that it will change anything but it would be well deserved

 

[The Kessel Run]

Does Nylander ever shoot the puck at the net? Always top of the glass with every shot.

Think that went off Hart.

 

[Gallagbi]

See that stretch pass @therealkoho? Similar to the one Nylander tried last game

 

[Walshy7]

Nylander how do you miss the ****ing net there

No watching eh? If he missed the net the faceoff wouldn’t be in our zone would it? And the score shot clock wouldn’t have gone up by a shot

 

[SnizzMitch]

Will Nye with the good ole clapper 50 feet high and wide...

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

oh look, Matthews hits 70 points. wonder what new negative the mainboards will manufacture now.

The main boards?! What about here in the Leafs forum?

 

[Walshy7]

Does Nylander ever shoot the puck at the net? Always top of the glass with every shot.

I mean that shot right then was on net. Hence the face off in our zone the goalie saved it

 

[Legion34]

You can recognize he is a good player while also recognizing he is overpaid based on every comparable.

When you are first in many ELC goal scoring categories who is the comparable?

 

[LeafsLegendAkiBerg]

oh look, Matthews hits 70 points. wonder what new negative the mainboards will manufacture now.

You don't need to go there to find it:

What?!

He has 70 points and makes McDavid money, the one goal today does not change how he has played for a large portion of the season.

I know he has all the talent in the world, I don't doubt that, but he still needs to be the player he was before injury.

 

[Jozay]

Does Nylander ever shoot the puck at the net? Always top of the glass with every shot.

Its by far his biggest weakness. His shot f***ing sucks. He can shoot it hard, but his accuracy is awful.

 

[Schooner]

No watching eh? If he missed the net the faceoff wouldn’t be in our zone would it? And the score shot clock wouldn’t have gone up by a shot

People are blinded by hate man

 

[lottster14]

Anyone else feel like having Jim hughson commentate our playoff games is a bit of a discouraging blow? bit of a curse? Roots against us and is just awful as he is

 

[ToneDog]

Games don't mean anything to Boston recently either. Their fate is sealed just as much as ours. They've done far better than us since our positions were locked.

No arguing that.Said it before, our guys talk the talk, they need to walk the walk and they need to do it soon. The shit is going to hit the fan if the Bruins shred them.

 

[Gallagbi]

Haha there's no winning.

It's funny, I thought "stupid main boards" then I realized we committed the second highest cap hit in the league to a player who never hit 70pts. I believe in his production, but it's pretty nuts to think about.

 

[Walshy7]

People are blinded by hate man

100%, last night one guy posted “how many goals against is that for nylander tonight” the answer was 0 he was on for 0 goals against

 

[Marshy]

Remember that D "Sack of potatoes" in that Babcock vid? Can he come in for Marincin next game?

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Yep. Worst fan base in the league. They eat their own. Have to pit one against the other.

My bet is Matthews leaves.

Kinda hope he does. Not that it will change anything but it would be well deserved

If he's going to demand to be dramatically overpaid based on league-wide comparables, I hope he leaves as well.

But what I hope more than anything is that he becomes great and accepts a fair contract.

 

[pcruz]

He's not on the same level as Marner, but he's better than he's shown. The big thing is though, Marner plays with a shift to shift intensity that most of this team lacks. I also don't think that is a trait you just develop. Marner developed it due to being undersized and always playing with a chip on his shoulder due to how much he's been doubted. That has never been the case with the other 2 big 3 members.

I disagree.

Nylander's shooting and scoring ability is far superior to Marner.
Nylander's ability to thread the needle and find the target is nearly on the same level.
Nylander's vision and playmaking ability is nowhere near Marner, very few in the NHL are.

Top end, with ideal linemates, I can seem one being a 25-30 goal and 70-80 assist guy, and the other a 35-40 goal and 50-60 assist player.

Overall, Marner is the better player, but strictly offensively, they're not (at their very best) all that far apart.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Fantastic a penalty.

 

[DanM]

You don't need to go there to find it:

Oh ok sorry

AM is the greatest hockey player that ever lived, should be paid 20 million dollars per year, and with his intensity we will win 27 cups in a row.

GO LEAFS GO

Greatest D in the league, what a GA.

This should cover it, sorry for ever insulting the Leafs.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Does Nylander ever shoot the puck at the net? Always top of the glass with every shot.

He's addicted to that "tinggggg" sound.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Johnsson has been BRUTAL tonight

 

[DopeyFish]

Wtf Johnsson
So pointless

 

[Maplebeasts]

Dive?

 

[Macallan18]

PK coming up

 

[Notsince67]

The main boards?! What about here in the Leafs forum?

There's the door

 

[keonsbitterness]

Careless by Johnsson.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

SH goal now PLEASE!
