GDT: Leafs vs Bolts game 4

[Aashir]

Don't think we lose this series but if we do no one on this team should be safe except Matthews and Marner. Mrazek, Holl, Muzzin, Kerfoot, Nylander and Tavares would be the group I choose to move.

I’d be open to every f***ing one

None of them have earned any protection to stay here whoever gets the best value you deal even matthews

Regular season player 100% of the time

 

[PromisedLand]

Hey Keefe, ever wonder why the opposition are constantly putting the puck into Holl's side of the ice?

It is pretty obvious to any knowledgable hockey fan except Keefe and Holl and dubas fans here

 

[hamzarocks]

Besides obviously wishing we could trade Tavares, that Nylander effort there could very well end his tenure here. Complete joke. Might as well get ride of them both and invest in a defensively responsible second line and hope Matthews-Marner can carry the offence because they clearly cannot win with this offence first strategy.

Kadri reunion? Dump JT+ Jack for an elite goalie somehow

Bring Kadri at 5 years 7M

It would end in failure most likely but at least Kadri wasn't as bland as Johnny No Dekes is

 

[ACC1224]

Next goal is crucial.

 

[TorMapleJays]

Yikes.

 

[socko]

The problem is Tavares is a garbage bumper

JVR was 3 times the PP asset that Tavares is. The guy isn't really good at anything except faceoffs.

 

[lovemyleafs]

Really wish we didn't trade Kadri for Kerfoot. Such an awful deal.

Highway robbery.

 

[Big Bruce]

This team legit hasn't thrown 1 f***ing body check in 4 periods now.

But Keefe goes straight back to the do-nothing 4th line because oh noes the penaltiez!!!

Frustrating beyond belief

 

[IPS]

If we lose this and Dubas is fired. Will he be the worst playoff GM in NHL history? The record for consecutive 1st round losses is 5 and Dubas will have 4 in 4 years.

nah he stay

 

[wingman75]

I understand that. They have that pedigree and everyone knew Tampa would come out like gangbusters tonight. It's not like Leafs are up 3-1 and laid an egg. It's 2-1. Tampa was not gonna get swept at home.

Right. It's not the loss, it's the how for me. Totally unprepared to weather an initial push. Just sends a message to Tampa that if they do push, we have no real answer. So if they bring that in game 5 we be fckd (potentially and based on what we have seen so far in this series.)

 

[Mickey Marner]

That play tells me he’s not in the core moving forward.

If the previous five years of that crap wasn't enough, I doubt the sixth will make a difference. He'll probably get the captaincy after Tavares.

 

[LastOne2100]

You missed:

5) Revoke the Captain label from Tavares

I was trying to provide realistic options to rebound, but I guess Keefe making positive adjustments is as unlikely as the organization taking the C and giving it to someone who deserves it.

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

If we lose this and Dubas is fired. Will he be the worst playoff GM in NHL history? The record for consecutive 1st round losses is 5 and Dubas will have 4 in 4 years.

The team has necessary parts to win the cup exept for the coach. If he gets fired it will be because he extended Keefe after 2 playoff series he should have won but lost.

 

[Gallagbi]

So are we asking for ‘game management’ now? I thought we didn’t like that.

I'm cool with the penalties if they're being called. Slash to Brodies hands seconds before his retaliation. Kase having his stick pulled into a high sticking penalty was also pretty interesting. Then you have the Matthews tackle and Holl knee.

If the standard is the Engvall slash, the above as all pretty blatant.

Tough to guage the standard of calls right now.

 

[Anthrax442]

Its bad enough the game is 0:5, i got to see closeups of Dangle's zits?

 

[binop7]

Kadri reunion? Dump JT+ Jack for an elite goalie somehow

Bring Kadri at 5 years 7M

It would end in failure most likely but at least Kadri wasn't as bland as Johnny No Dekes is

Kadri is going to get 8-9M from someone no doubt

 

[CelticDruid]

Yeah, that was bad by Nylander but I haven't seen any of out players lay a hit or even try to skate in first gear yet.

They are all scared it's obvious.

Keefe just blew it.

Needed some push back.

 

[frizzer1]

Maybe their bumper doesn't take forever to get to that position and fall down when he tries to reach for the puck.

Tavares reaction time is so slow every time he tries to do something with the puck he gets checked.

 

[TorMapleJays]

Looks like the Leafs were out partying last night.

 

[Big Bruce]

JVR was 3 times the PP asset that Tavares is. The guy isn't really good at anything except faceoffs.

Jt is a puppet
Hes a joke
Hes negative aaa house beer league talent

 

[Nylanderthal]

Your obsession is weird and unhealthy

 

[DcW]

He should be benched for that.

I’m with you on that!
Maybe Game 72 of the regular season, 3rd period, up by three goals…I get it. Do a fly by and change. That’s was pathetic

 

[MarnerElite]

1) No more Holl. Ever.
2) Move Tavares down to the third
3) Take Tavares off PP1
4) Take out Spezza for Simmonds or Clifford so the team starts hitting again

Yes and i'd add that if Sandin is 100% ready, take Giordano out(he's very meh imo)....Go more with puck moving dmen but still play smart(no dumb pinches giving up easy 2 on 1's and such)...I'm not trying to make it seem like that's so easy but honestly i'd be way more confident in those lines. And they do need some of that muscle from Simmonds and others...Just within the rules obviously.

 

[Craigo85]

Even Matthews-Marner haven't been great together since game 1. The rest of this one should be Tavares-Marner, Matthews-Nylander and see if something works before next game. Need some 5 on 5 time though which is rare this series.

Yes that's what I meant, something like 16 and 91 together, 88 with 34, or 91 on 34's wing.

I'm not sure what's best, he's the professional coach ...figure it out.

 

[Morlu]

I’m with you. I love Matthews but this team has no heart. Just disgusting to watch.
