Half-Assed GDT: Leafs vs Blues

[Davimir Tarablad]

Brutal D zone turnovers combined with brutal goaltending

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Would have liked the point.

Sit Binny, play Husso

 

[Hrkac Circus]

I think it’s time to play Husso as the number one goalie for awhile and see what he does with it.

 

[Robb_K]

6 seconds of 2-man advantage! At least they had some chance. Not a great game for The Blues.

 

[BlueDream]

f*** that. Should have at least gotten a point, terrible way to lose. Leafs are skilled but still soft and we would wax them with a full lineup.

Sounds like next game we could get Schenn, Parayko, Tarasenko and Brown back. Husso also needs to start. That will be a more important one to win.

 

[Blueline2757]

This loss was on Chief. He didn't put Husso in after the third goal, then we might've had a chance.

Binny needs to go to the AHL for a while.

Call up Charlie sideburns!!

 

[mw2noobbuster]

Whatever, I'd be more embarrassed as a Toronto fan for letting an AHL squad drop 5 on me.

 

[TheDizee]

so will Binner answer the media tonight and face the music? no cupcake questions tonight for him, hes flat out the reason we lost. atrocious goaltending.

go ahead and make excuses for him. point out the turnovers, point out the shot totals (lol), hes flat out garbage since the bubble. i laughed last game when the announcers said he could have been a all star. are you kidding me?

the binnington defenders are becoming the new brian elliott homers

 

[Xerloris]

AHL squad put up 5 and will lose and if it was allen in net, this board would be in flames.

but binner somehow has some magic barrier that prevents him from any criticism because of things he did almost 3 years ago

You keep talking shit about an AHL squad but I don't see any AHL guys that scored a f***ing goal tonight.

Go call out the atrocious defense and stop riding Binnington's jock like a jaded ex.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

We need Perron, Schenn, Tarasenko, Buchnevich, Parayko, and Brown back.

We have 30mil on the Covid List/illness.

 

[542365]

Give Husso every start, including back to backs, until the Olympic break. Even Husso on his 10th game in 10 nights doesn’t allow 6 goals in this game. Thanks for the Cup, Cam, err Andrew, err Jordan, but kindly get the f*** off this hockey team.

 

[Robb_K]

On the winning goal, Binnington knocked the puck in with his left leg's backswing.

 

[President Skroob]

Binnington should be equally embarrassed

 

[ezcreepin]

go look at the posts before Christmas. This board swore up and down Binnington was magic and it was all on the defense regardless of every stat that pointed to his decline. I was also banned for pointing out how average he was. So for the bulk of the crowd here that's crapping on him, theyre FOS.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter how a guy is playing in random parts of the season, but rather his numbers at the end of the season. We can rightfully critique his play in the playoffs since his cup win, but he has been at or above league average even after his amazing 2019 cup run. He was awful tonight and we can also critique that, but his numbers, just on the basis of the stats alone, do not say he is super average or below average.

An average goaltending performance and we win 5-3. Simply average. That’s all we needed.

 

[TheDizee]

the best thing to happen to this team was playing through the covid crap last month and watching chucky sideburns spit out #1 performances every night. the team actually played hard for him and loved defending in front of him.

and the worst thing to happen to them was playing binner vs WPG before xmas then not letting chucky sideburns sniff the net again after he went 5-0 with incredible stats.

Make all the excuses for him you want, its not going to change the reality. He's allowed 22 goals in 6 starts. Do the f***ing math.

 

[Joshuar56]

this might be the worst take in this thread and there have been some doozies

Well since Campbell is terrible it's ok if Binnington is also...

3.05 GAA and .906 are WELL below average. Like probably shouldn’t be in the league level bad.

husso and chucky sideburns dont seem to have issues stopping pucks behind this "atrocious" defense.

meanwhile this guy has allowed 22 goals in 6 starts since returning.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

We had 25 shots. Average goaltending by both we lose 3-2.

worst part is we are stuck with that contract now. hopefully he can turn it around but cant continue to feed him starts when he plays like he has been.

He hasn't played the full season and I will bet 1 million dollars those are not his stats over his 3 years after the cup season.

 

[Meatball]

Let's see:

-January
-In playoff position
-Half the team missing
-#1 goalie slumping

I see no reason to panic.

 

[CraftyVeteran]

Lots of comments blaming Binnington, but how is it the goalie's fault the Leafs have 2x as many shots on goal? You don't win games turtling in your own zone, especially when you still blow coverage in 5on5.

ah, there's that Allen's disease again.
