GDT: Leafs @ NYI - 7pm. Sportsnet

[Aashir]

Holy crap bertuzzi couldn’t get that puck deep 3 times

 

[All Mod Cons]

That was probably the weirdest shift I've seen there from Bertuzzi. I had no idea what sport he was playing. Haha

 

[notbias]

They play an average of 9-11 minutes. That is not enough, that is almost 4th line minutes

They should be around 12-13 every game and maybe more if that line is buzzing. Keefe plays them 9-11 no matter what

They suck defensively and we have two first lines... not much ice time to go around after the top 2 lines get 1st line minutes.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Tavares looks faster now

Not sure if serious

 

[Evilhomer]

Sammy and the defense have been shaky. We are coming back tho

If anyone has watched Islanders' games this year, you know they aren't going to hold this lead. Leafs will win this one.

 

[DarkKnight]

Holy f*** that building got quiet.

 

[Strangle]

I wonder if they could invent a guy that could establish a thing I would call a "system" .. I'd call this new thing a "coach" ...

Our players aren’t those type of players, I hear people say

f*** YEAH THEY WILL

 

[DarkKnight]

34 looks great tonight.

 

[fahad203]

expecting more from Bertuzzi, come on man!

Nothing impressive about that guy
Just messy all around

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Tavares looks faster now

Was he sitting down previously?

 

[pcruz]

Is there anyone even in the arena tonight?

You can hear thes skate noise clear as day.

 

[egd27]

I don't understand people who complain about the 3rd line getting enough ice time...

They are the 3rd best offensive line and 4th best defensive line... if the other lines are not tired, they will get thrown out there ahead of them... not a hard concept.

You realize that there are degrees of being "tired" right?

Well, that's a load off my mind...

 

[Jojalu]

Matthews/Nylander have had so many looks. Time to put another in.

 

[v00d00daddy]

Beginning of this shift is what drives me crazy. Matthews chips it into a corner for willy and he does almost nothing to fight for it. Kinda swings his stick one handed and then rolls out. Marner does the same crap.

I wish Matthews or Keefe would scream at them. Go in hard or f*** off

 

[Burnie97]

Much better period. Especially the last 5 minutes. Hit the freaking net though.

 

[fahad203]

Leafs have all the momentums, so I fully expect Sammy to give up a bad one

 

[DarkKnight]

Wow, things are really going our way now, Timmins won a board battle.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

How was the third Isles goal ? I missed it

this culture where the team is the core 4 worked well for us in the past

 

[keonsbitterness]

Possession, puck movement, shot.

That's right, I said it!

 

[Racer88]

That’s what everyone around here keeps telling me.

Keefe doesn’t even ask them because ‘they aren’t that type of player’

Makes no sense to me, sounds like we need a coach who is gonna ask them to

I agree 100% that would be a start

 

[93gilmour93]

Holy f*** that building got quiet.

Because they finally realize that they do need him

 

[notbias]

Alright, flip the lineup, and play the two worst lines we have for 20 a night, I am sure that'll work better.
