GDT: Leafs @ Sens. Debut of Mrazek.

[Metroid]

Sending good vibes out to the angry folk!

*Blasts good vibrations in the background

 

[Sypher04]

Lots of time left in this one.
Not worried at this point.

 

[Zybalto]

The third goal was the only one that was really terrible.

Even then, it went off a skate to an open man and may have gone in off Holl there (havnt looked close at it)

Hopefully the bad luck from the hockey gods was used up that period for a while.

 

[saffronleaf]

would be interesting if the sabres did well without eichel a la the islanders-jt situation

 

[therealkoho]

Kitty cat lol

Oh I thought it had something to do with ahem "wet" if ya know what I mean

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Very Leaf-like period

Ya no shit eh, its amazing how some things never change.

 

[Sypher04]

Ottawa games are always terrible

I am going to be so glad when we are done with our games vs Montreal and Ottawa this year.

 

[Go4soda]

I’m not gonna make a “sky is falling”rant. I watch every game and cheer this team to the bitter end every year. But this leafs team still has no guts. Any real contending team with character would steamroll this rag tag perennial bottom feeding sens team.

 

[Cynical]

If you're a sports fan and not just a Leafs fan this is probably the lowest team on your list of teams to watch until the playoffs (if they make it). What a depressing team to follow.

 

[fahad203]

This is essentially a guranteed loss at this point. No way Leafs come back
Not without Matthews

 

[The Big Swede13]

Bunting and Kase are getting the next 2

 

[BrannigansLaw]

TORONTO HIGH DANGER CHANCES GENERATED 9
OTTAWA 5


are you even watching the game ??
We outshot, outchanced, out high danger chanced the other team. if you are unlucky this is what happens ....... sometimes you dont get the bounces

yeah our expected luck/60 is so bad every year. Especially in the playoffs

 

[ottomaddox]

That's it! I'm so angry. I'm starting a new thread...

 

[kevsh]

I'll cut the Leafs a little bit of slack, starting the season with a back-to-back against a rested team in its home opener.

But the brutal Engvall giveaway is the type of carelessness Keefe has to exorcise from this team before the playoffs or it'll be 0-6 in first rounds.

 

[Dave92]

Ya no shit eh, its amazing how some things never change.

It's amazing that our management keeps thinking they will lol.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

I think the pattern we’re seeing isn’t luck. It’s just opportunistic hard working teams who can capitalize on errors by throwing things on net while the Leafs look better from a Harlem Globetrotter POV, buzzing buzzing.

First goal kicked in…lucky
2nd goal off Holl and Ennis…lucky
3rd goal off Ritchie right to Ottawa player…lucky

We’re helping them get lucky with boneheaded plays but two goals not directly off a stick is unlucky.

 

[socko]

I wonder how much Brady Tkachuk could have bent over Dubas for before Dubas ran himself out of cap and had to start spending 1st rounders for role players with bad backs?

 

[Leafslet]

I dunno, a couple of brutal bounces, one classic engval bonehead play and some atrocious tending. All in all, they didn't play THAT bad, but it's not bouncing their way and Mrazek can't trap a beachball tonight.

marner disappeared all period. not dangerous at all. jt looked slow.

and multiple boneheaded turnovers.

and a bad penalty 200 feet from our net.

and zero sense of urgency.

how is that playing good? we had a stretch of 5 minutes where we decided to play. then we were done with that effort again.

 

[ACC1224]

Tough period but lots of time to regroup. Better score the next one though.

 

[Jozay]

Nylander will have to carry tonight

 

[Bellefour20]

Ottawa games are always terrible

The end of season results are always terrible too. I wonder if they're related?

 

[TheShape]

I really do think this whole Simmonds thing needs to have a pretty short shelf life. If he isn't going to be physical night in night out then what exactly is the point in rostering him?

Can't play him and Spezza together, it's one or the other and neither can play any higher than 4th line. I hope he doesn't become our Jumbo who plays every single game as long as he's healthy.

They have way too many players that similar. So call safe players, good skaters but vanilla. Doesn't really bring anything different

I have yet to see Ritchie throw a hit. Only player looked good, maybe stood out is Bunting

Kase has his moments but really don't bring anything we didn't already have

 

[Leafslet]

agreed.

Period 4 of 246 into the 2021-2022 season, in case anyone is wondering if the forum is overreacting

I totally get why other fanbases read our forums, from outside its probably hilarious

This is what I picture a bunch of posters look like after their hot takes 4 periods into a new season
