GDT: Leafs @ Sens. Debut of Mrazek.

[fahad203]

6 shots on net in 15 minutes when you're down 3-0.

Maybe the coaching staff should shuffle some players around or shortening the bench

 

[Koolboss]

This is brutal, this team doesn't even look like a Leafs team anymore, I would take JVR Bozak Kessel over this clown show

 

[Throw More Waffles]

He hasnt looked great tonight, but he was fine for the home opener - had 4 shots on goal. Plus there's been no reporting on any lingering health issues

It isn't exactly rare for a player to permanently lose a step after a very significant head injury. And I don't think it typically gets reported as lingering health issues.

 

[PromisedLand]

Score doesn't tell the tale. Pittsburgh scored three empty-net goals.

Was watching that game Cooper pulled Vasy with 6 or 7 mins to go

 

[Cynical]

Man, this team has no one who can provide a spark. How are they expecting to compete in the playoffs if they do make it. Absolutely none of their players are aggressive. It's like they're playing the game in slow motion.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

I find it weird given how much chemistry the two had together during Tavares' first year here.

Agreed. JT talked about getting off to a fast start and when Matthews went down I thought the starts aligned for him to do just that. Not liking what I'm seeing so far.

Careful what you wish for...

 

[IPS]

Depth is going to be a serious issue again for us again this year

Other than one line, no other line has any pressure of any kind or chances

Lol the depth won us last nights game

 

[Teeder Keon]

gonna need liquor this intermission lol

Keep your private thoughts private mate

 

[3blizzard4]

MLSE “jersey sales are up. Tickets are sold out. TV eyeballs are up too. Good job Shanny and Dubes. Sign your extensions here.”

 

[fahad203]

It's game 2 and we already have to juggle the lines.

It could be a preseason game. It's actually more the reason, maybe see if you have chemistry with other players early in the season

If you are going to experiment, you wouldn't want to do it early in the season ?

 

[Cleetus]

Maybe Hyman was a bigger part of that line than we thought ?

Hyman was a beast last night looked so fast in that lineup

 

[Dave92]

If it doesn't work this year I'm gonna start to doubt Dubby's assertion that repeated public humiliation is how you build a winner.

 

[Cynical]

Now imagine the Sens with Tkachuk. Looking very good.

They're not that good. The Leafs are just a bad team.

 

[TheShape]

I know it's only game 2... I know that.

But given how outrageously scary the injury to Tavares was in game 1 of the playoffs, after how many games of him looking invisible are we allowed to be concerned? He's invisible out there today.

I asked yesterday and endlessly got flamed, but I still think it's a legitimate question.

I've been saying for a year now I think his days at centre are numbered, he's too slow in transition and overall doesn't impact the game enough to justify his cap hit. But yeah, how dare I, I was also endlessly flamed.

 

[DarkKnight]

Engvall having a game.

Oh I agree with you, it's just funny that we're already this much of a mess that we need to do it already.

 

[keonsbitterness]

At least Mrazek showed up this period.

 

[DarkKnight]

Adjustments in game? Funny.

 

[Menzinger]

It isn't exactly rare for a player to permanently lose a step after a very significant head injury. And I don't think it typically gets reported as lingering health issues.

I don't think either of us are qualified to speculate on that. Plenty of players bounce back from concussions without any longer term effects.

 

[PromisedLand]

didnt watch the first period did Keefe change his lines to get something going? or is he staying status quo like he did in playoffs?

 

[saffronleaf]

wow Engvall got school'd by that deke.

he's playing himself off the roster pretty quickly

 

[Teeder Keon]

Engvall having a game.

Head and shoulders above anyone else

 

[fahad203]

Jesus

Isn't someone going to get pissed and hit someone?

They are just toying with us

 

[BrannigansLaw]

F’ing brutal. Mrazek getting shelled and the gutless players in front of him are just watching
