GDT: Leafs @ Nashville 7pm ET March 19th 2022

[Sypher04]

It is exactly that inconsistency, or even more so, the extreme highs and lows in how this team can play, that tells most of us they are not a serious contender.

The so-called contenders are not nearly as consistent as people think they are

 

[keonsbitterness]

I like our jam recently

Peanut butter !

 

[LastOne2100]

Yep...3 posts/crossbars didn't help.

Saros has been awesome also.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Leafs PP has been absolutely abysmal this game

No movement of players

 

[Burnie97]

I fail to see either with him.

True at this point.

 

[fahad203]

Why did Marner pass that?

You were on prime shooting spot

 

[Coachcorner]

Playoffs type game they keep trumpeting. Sounds about right, Toronto always choking when the games matter most.

Imagine having a killer like forsberg with us sire... that guy a monster for real.
We have ours too, but matthews and marner and nulander are more of eh uh, console generation type. Trendy people who dress well. Forsberg a kill on the ice.

We need thugs, gangstas. Motte, Luke Schenn, goalie, Deslauriels. Rinaldo. Killas. Tucker, Belfour (drunk). Corson. Roberts, Gary.

That was such a stupid penalty to take. I really hope Keefe throws exrta F-bombs at him the rest of the game and after.

Wouldn’t even waste the breath, just simply tell Kyle he needs to go back down and bring up someone else cause he’s not getting in the line up again

 

[Stephen]

Lol ok. This game has been fairly close. Couple posts, few dumb penalties. SOOO much overreacting jesus christ.

Counting posts is a “losers race” to quote the late great Pat Quinn.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Rielly looks dead out there

 

[Apotheosis]

im just here to see Matthews get 2-3 points and climb up the scoring race and widen his rocket lead

 

[saffronleaf]

team body language looks so poor

beaten down, in hockey, physicality, and even spiritually

 

[ULF_55]

This is playoff quality game and we are not ready.

Yep, that's what it looks like however we are seeing some animosity from both teams.

Maybe they should be roughed up more often, and they might stop giving free passes to opposition players when they have a chance to make contact.

 

[Anthrax442]

Toronto has hit two posts and Mikey missed a wide open wrap around. It’s not like they are getting blown out, they are getting quality scoring chances. Are actually engaging in physical play tonight. I don’t know what more you can ask of them?

I bet it says so on the Stanley Cup.. "Leafs were bet out in the 1st round, but they hit a bunch of posts. "

 

[Leafs1991]

What about the games against Dallas and Carolina earlier this week? Both intense playoff style games that they were on the better side of.

I wouldn't bother. My dad was finding excuses during that game against Dallas too for why the Leafs won. They were slow etc, they were old (which isn't really true). It's just annoying the overreactions people have in this thread. I don't think the Leafs have played bad tonight at all. It's been pretty even for play all around.

Counting posts is a “losers race” to quote the late great Pat Quinn.

I am not saying they should. But to think they are getting dominated is comical. You're watching right? This game was open for either team to win.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Just sloppy, lazy hockey by a team that doesn't want to put in the effort to win

 

[francis246]

Lol for sure, 'heavy forcheck'. That worked well. Also when you're down a goal with 8 minutes, 4th liners shouldn't be playing.

Bro they are running 11 forwards rn. lines are gonna get jumbled you have to give guys a quick break. Unfortunate Clifford took a penalty, but blaming that on Keefe is kind of crazy. You expect him to play 8 forwards the rest of the night?

 

[CelticDruid]

Tavares lol

 

[LastOne2100]

Laziest back check of all time?

 

[therealkoho]

Omfg what was that

Or what wasn't that, which is the theme of the night

 

[Cecithepylon]

Eased kall in before we showed him the real defence

 

[57 Years No Cup]

It's o-o- verrrrrr!

 

[saffronleaf]

better team won, that much is clear

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Matt Douchebag gets his goal
