GDT: Leafs v Habs II

[Guided by Veseys]

Thornton with the sweet over the hill Jagr push

 

[Mr Papagoergyo]

Brodie with some nice small plays making things easier. Love it.

 

[TimeZone]

You're not getting 3 past Carey to win this game. Sorry

This isn't 2010. Price is way, way past his prime. I don't think we get 3 in a row past any NHL goaltender in a row though, perhaps not even a zaomboni driver.

 

[saffronleaf]

Thornton looks really slow

I think he might hold the Leafs record for slowest, inching out even Allison.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Dermotts been good

Imagine that he was almost a scratch.

 

[Stephen]

Ya it seems like the drive/competitiveness to do anything it takes not to get beaten just doesn't exist. No matter which roles players you had

Just a real tentativeness. Our big guns just don't start a game looking to destroy the opposition.

 

[fahad203]

He has an assist. Pick on the other 11m guys pointless if this is what you want.

Sure he has an assist. That's the problem. Players in this team gets assist

What they need is tempo, puck possession, gemming the net. Even our 3rd liners will get 20 goals this year. Don't worry

 

[Man Bear Pig]

I wish Simpson talked less. Just let Cuthbert talk you annoying buffoon

Hes turning into Madden. They'll show a slow motion replay that lasted 4 seconds and he's talking for 50 seconds about it.

 

[forecheck]

Yeah, That was a bit of a head scratcher for me too. I would have young gun Robertson in there over him 100%.

Coach is trying to make the GM moves look good - only reason they give these a try ...

 

[keonsbitterness]

The equivalence of Rearranging the chairs on the Titanic

Maybe it would have avoided that iceberg if someone had rearranged those deckchairs.

 

[peconcan]

Change things up in the 3rd
Matthews JT Marner
Hyman Jumbo Nylander
Soup Kerfoot Simmonds
Vesey Spezza Barabanov

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Roberston has more talent in the tip of his dick then Vesey has in his whole body.

I won't ask how you know that.

 

[34]

Tavares still making 11 this year?

I like JT, but that AAV is tough.

 

[IrishInOntario]

Tavares still making 11 this year?

Yep. On a point per game pace already.

I'd say 34 and 16 need to pick it up here. It's not about how pretty they look in creating scoring chances. It's about what they do on the scoresheet for their 22+ million per year.

 

[fahad203]

I haven't seen enough of Barabonov. Has wheels but doesn't have the ice time

 

[hamzarocks]

Positives are we play habs 9 more times. Hopefully if we lose this one, take it to heart and improve their play moving forward

 

[Bloomberg]

Why is everyone concentrating on Vesey and Thornton? Vesey is playing with a 11M center and a 7M winger and Thornton is playing with a 11M center and a 10M winger. They are not expected to play a major part in driving the play...

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Good save on Suzuki there

 

[saffronleaf]

You're not getting 3 past Carey to win this game. Sorry

You also have to take into account that Freddy is on pace for his signature Freddy 5. So we'll need 5 more goals past Carey Price, one of the greatest goaltenders ever.

 

[TimeZone]

Josh Anderson and Shea Weber are playing Hockey and thanks to Joe Thornton in the top six neither are the slowest players on the ice for once.

Awesome moment for them

 

[peconcan]

We need to score on this one

 

[Warden of the North]

Please score

 

[Cleetus]

What does jimmy vesey do that’s useful?

draw penalties?

 

[PromisedLand]

Habs are collapsing down low; cant make plays there; get it to the points and shoot bombs

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Need to leave this period 3-2 to have a chance
