GDT: Leafs @ Lightning HNIC

[Burnie97]

Normally I am the voice of reason in not over reacting, but honestly they kind of deserve the shitstorm coming their way the next few days with how the team has looked so far this season.

Mainly because they acknowledged their slow starts the past 2 years and are once again doing it and pissing away the chance to face a wildcard team instead of a top 5 team in round 1 again

Frustrating forsure

This is how a team is supposed to come out against the team that eliminated them, unlike us on Thursday.

And this is the reason that I was not really excited for the season, the D sucks and the goalies are even worse if Woll cant become #1

They're being handily outpossesed and outshot.

When the opposing goaltender has a .250 SV%, it certainly helps your chances.

They have momentum now, but they came out flat as a pancake.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Whens the last time you saw a .250 save %?

D needs upbringing and Sammy needs to go back to whatever witch Dr he went to this summer and get his talent back.

 

[SprDaVE]

Johansson making saves with defensive breakdowns left and right. Kind of unheard of.

 

[Geeve]

Knies getting unnecessary head shots, someone protect the kid.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Zero defensemen and a goalie who gets beat clean on NHL shots. At least we can sell everything off at the deadline.

That’ll never happen

They will mortgage any remaining future we have left to try to be competitive.

Meanwhile there is no fixing this mess with bandaids. Dubas gave away and wasted so many assets instead of continuing the build and now look at this pile of shit.

Rewind to 2016 please when we had talent coming from everywhere.

 

[Strangle]

Look at that, tampas defense let Nylander walk in and take a shot but it didn’t end up in the back of the net. What an awesome DEFENSE they have, eh?

 

[PromisedLand]

Don't trade our first it's going to be a good one

probably a blessing in disguise really. that trash dubas already traded the 2025 1st rounder so may be not a bad idea LOL

 

[Macallan18]

Woll makes a save!!!

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Woll just did something Samsonov couldn’t do tonight

Make consecutive saves

 

[Strangle]

Woll has to be the starter after tonight

 

[stickty111]

Knies getting unnecessary head shots, someone protect the kid.

Isn't that Reaves job? Maybe he forgot his role

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Woll has to be the starter after tonight

f*** Jones might have to be the backup

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Can we stop shooting at the goalie's chest?

A lot of times it seems they miss the net in general as well

 

[MoreMogilny]

Chicken or the egg? Is it the defense that is bad or is it the goalie who has an .832 save percentage on the season?

It’s both

Our D is porous and hardly mobile.

How we’ve gone so many years since the rebuild started without developing any top 4 D is insane

 

[CapspaceKiller]

McCabe just letting the lightning through

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Woll just did something Samsonov couldn’t do tonight

Make consecutive saves

Samsonov didn't even make non consecutive saves

 

[Shooter2x]

Goaltending and D would be an over night fix if Dubas didn't make all those dumb trades with our picks

 

[Strangle]

It’s both

Our D is porous and hardly mobile.

How we’ve gone so many years since the rebuild started without developing any top 4 D is insane

The leafs have 13 shots, why don’t they have, like 9-10 goals?

Every team gives up shots, the goalie is part of the defense, probably the most important part.

If a defense is bad, it starts at the goaltender

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Liiligren is not longed for this team

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Man this first line f***ing sucks

 

[LastOne2100]

McCabe and Klingberg both awful

 

[Cleetus]

McCabe just letting the lightning through

he is not good, awful trade

 

[All Mod Cons]

Dubas has done so, so much damage to this organization

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

I secretly hope the shit hits the fan early this season cause I don’t really like this core of forwards or support group or head coach.
