GDT: Leafs @ Senators | Jan 15 | Part 2

[Cleetus]

Justin Holl, always in the perfect place to look dangerous, and get chances..., but he absolutely sucks when he gets the puck lol

 

[Leaffan1991]

Muzzin is the only one on our blue line that can slap a puck. Time to bring in Lehtonen

 

[phillipmike]

Matthews, Thornton, Simmonds, Rielly and Brodie are a combined -16.

 

[Canadian Finn]

time for a dirty one to get us into this last 10 minutes.

 

[34]

Will that change momentum?

No

 

[Ryan Michaels]

Keefe has multiple embarrassing inept performance in a short period of time.

The entire playoff series he got dummied by Torts, he lost to a f***ing Zamboni driver, he has Thornton on the first line and getting Matthews off to the worst start of his career. And the team just looks awful and directionless under him going back to the end of last season.

Babcock should never be mentioned next the Keefe.

And you're right Keefe and Babs shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence, one is an NHL coach the other talks about hockey on TV.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

I asked the same question.

All of our stats experts suddenly disappeared?

Thing is the xGF was like 1.2 when the Sens had 4 goals 3 of which were directly in the slot and/or a rebound into a pretty much open net. That should tell you the stat isn't perfectly capturing what is happening on the ice. Far from it

 

[Aashir]

But that's how Matthews plays even in good games. He actually always seems disinterested to me, even during good games
I thought last game he showed a bit of fiesty side

I agree and it was unlucky he couldn’t get on the board more, but he always has those inklings, that’s what we see in all of these guys they just don’t give enough of a crap

 

[All Mod Cons]

Tavares with the blast. Looks good and he should be out there on PP1 instead of Simmonds and Thornton.

Murray should've had that. It wasn't a very good shot.

 

[Cpt Maple Leaf]

What does Keefe do exactly.
I remember people were excited because he juggles up the lines. Because stubborn Babcock never did that

But again I ask, what does Keefe do exactly?

Plays the third line, too much.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Leafs have to score 2 goals in 11 mins and not give up a shot...

LOL

 

[Wendelstache]

I don’t think super friends Matthews and Marner should be together.

There are nights where they look out of sync like tonight (probably took the lowly Sens lightly).
Probably don't want to break up JT/Willy, they have been by far the best line this year.

 

[keonsbitterness]

GQ mag disagrees.

Magazines still exist?

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Get it to Tavares. Everything he touches is gold right now. Leading the league in points.

 

[Confucius]

He didn't bobble it, it looks like he deflected it straight to Stepan and then lazily stuck his stick out instead of actually moving back into position.

Fine nevertheless it slid into his pad and he couldn't control the rebound.

 

[ToneDog]

If we pull Freddy now, we should be able to pull this one out.

 

[Stephen]

Justin Holl, always in the perfect place to look dangerous, and get chances..., but he absolutely sucks when he gets the puck lol

I find it mind boggling that a player like Holl is allowed to roam the way he does and not on an extremely short leash. The imagine of him on a two on one or behind the opposition end tells you a lot about how well this team is coached.

 

[HolyCrap]

Honestly. I know this is a hot take but I would love to move Marner for a player that is a bit less skilled offensively but plays a 200ft strong game.

When Marner is not dancing around he is utterly useless.

You’re not alone.

 

[fahad203]

Put everything on net. Everything

 

[Throw More Waffles]

I find it mind boggling that a player like Holl is allowed to roam the way he does and not on an extremely short leash. The imagine of him on a two on one or behind the opposition end tells you a lot about how well this team is coached.

Yeah, he looks really bad.

 

[LastOne2100]

Put everything on net. Everything

This. Less cute, more simple.

 

[Bloomberg]

I think at some point, we need to acknowledge that Rielly isn't a #1D that you put out against the other teams top line. We need to one of MNM for a #1 D. Nylander for Byram!

 

[The Kessel Run]

Andersen looks washed. Sad to say.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I am not going to freak about this, gotta maintain the long view on the season.

 

[Sniper99]

And you're right Keefe and Babs shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence, one is an NHL coach the other talks about hockey on TV.

Not for long if this shit keeps up, and he wishes he had Babcock's resume
