GDT: Leafs @ Panthers - Thursday 7pm - Amerant Arena

[LastOne2100]

How about on that 2nd goal?

Yeah my comment did not age well.

Woof.

 

[All Mod Cons]

By 2 you mean JT and MM, yeah I agree.,

Yessir. Matthews and Nylander are enough for start power at forwards. Build a proper forward group around them.

Then finally sort out a decent defence. And end this lunacy with the goalies.

 

[cyris]

Nah cause they will get in only to get spanked when it matters

Not willing to back up your normal pointless over reaction huh?

 

[WTFMAN99]

They just keep coming out and let the opposition take it to them for the most part.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

One of the problems is in my opinion that we never can rely on our D to score..every day i check the box scored from every nhl game almost every team has defenders that can score..except for rielly în the playoffs and maybe klingberf now Liljegren Giordano Mc Cabe and Brodie have 0 chances to score almost every game..we cannot rely all the time only on our first 2 ofensive lines...also Domi sucks i never liked him.. Bertuzzi will be ok..

 

[Aashir]

O-Dog is absolutely right. It's so easy for other teams to play in our zone

I thought we were f***ing past this

Ovechkin said it a few years back
Foligno said our below the hash marks was bad

How tf do we never learn

 

[Gallagbi]

Honestly it was a relatively uneventful period. 2 bad goals and some soft play that I didnt love overall, but we shouldnt come out down 2 there

 

[KaN19]

The cap crunch has rid the team of good depth. We now rely on ELCs and reclamation projects. We literally cannot afford a competent bottom 6, D-core, or goaltending.

 

[shaner8989]

Domi klingerbrg and bertuzzi are all dog shit

I will probably be back when they tie it in the third, let's be real.

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Knies Matthews Nylander
Bertuzzi Tavares Marner

 

[MK78]

bad end of the period there.... the defense stinks, sammy stinks.

We spent our money on grit and offense

We love overreactions here

 

[William Hylander]

I see marner is in playoff form early this year.

 

[cyris]

This!

it baffles me we still don't know how to play "Big Boy" hockey after being embarrassed so many times in the playoffs.

But I thought Reeves was going to take care of this?
With him in the lineup guys like Tkachuk would be too intimidated to punch guys after the whistle

4 games into the season. My God

 

[Carltons Cup]

Florida has a real goalie. With Bobo in net, the door's almost shut on this game.

I'd love to eat crow...

 

[PromisedLand]

Same start as last year. Sucked pretty much until they had to be disrespected.

Remember all the Spezza lectures; Gio and Marleau speeches, Simmonds having to fight to wake this corpse of a team

I mean this team isn't self motivated even after taking every f***ing penny in contract negotiations? You can't lead from teh front? what kind of leadership is this?

 

[cyris]

We love overreactions here

Well you certainly do

 

[TMLAM34]

I wanna see Bertuzzi - Matthews - Nylander

 

[3blizzard4]

This!

We added Bertuzzi, Domi and Reaves. Still soft as butter.

 

[Fogelhund]

Whats better usage in this case?

Less usage?

We’ve been soft. No pushback, even though we signed pushback. Allegedly Reaves, Domi and Bertuzzi provide some of that. D are too soft. Domi has been terrible. Marner doesn’t look much like Marner. Samsonov just not making saves.

Need to play much better if they want a chance in this game.

Oh, and plenty of hot takes.

 

[1specter]

I see marner is in playoff form early this year.

Scared of Tkachuk

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

I really think it's time to move on from one of Marner or Nylander. The defense isn't very good, our goaltending is sub par to average and our depth scoring is non existent. They will obviously play better as the season goes on but this team isn't going to move past round 1 or 2 as is.
