GDT: Leafs vs Bruins - 7PM HNIC

[The Best Leafs Everr]

I think this team has always been good enough to win, which is why every series has been competitive and gone the full length. The difference this year is 82 games of a new system with some new asks.

We aren't looking at 10% improvement here. We are looking at 1 or 2%, marginal improvements that give us enough to win those close series. The rest is up to luck

If the top dogs can’t score we won’t win, that’s going to be the same story. Well we will see I guess.

This team looks terrible. What a shift from the vibes a week ago.

 

[frizzer1]

Somethings up with Matthews.
Can’t even pass the puck.
Snap is missing on his shot.
We’ve seen this movie before.

 

[PromisedLand]

matthews is learning some very bad habits from marner a.k.a. offensive blue line turnovers and feeding opposition for transition in numbers and speed

 

[BallardEra]

Not much from the Leafs 5 on 5 in that first period.

 

[LeafsFan89]

I think Boston will be in a dogfight for a wild card spot this season. They are going to struggle like heck to score goals. It's basically pastrnak and a bunch of plumbers. Lindholm was a terrible signing given the cost.

I mean... we're not looking much better. And I would put more money on Boston making the playoffs than us at this point lmao

 

[Dave92]

Matthews is such a p***y he'd definitely lose a fight to Marchand.

 

[therealkoho]

I don’t know whether it’s personnel or system, but this team is awful.

You gotta admit though really well paid!

 

[IronHookem]

So far, its looking like the same team that we saw the last 2 games, only this time Stolarz is here to save the day.

 

[Evilhomer]

Been saying this. Even for symbolic reasons it makes sense to move on completely.

Agreed. It's not about money for me when it comes to Tavares. I think he will sign a very friendly contract, but I think the team should move on anyway.

 

[MSZ]

I don’t know whether it’s personnel or system, but this team is awful.

Personnel.

It's obvious that Shanahan has the final say for any personnel decisions.

I see them declining hard. Pasta plays alot, his legs will fall off by December

 

[MK78]

At least we're not losing.

Choking after another 60 goal season destroyed his confidence just like last time. He'll be lucky to score 40, just like last time.

Toronto can score. Boston can't.

 

[Leafs87]

Pretty bad start. Stolarz made some saves Woll didn’t but otherwise nothing impressive from the leafs

 

[meefer]

Another slow start. Why?
Stolarz solid.
Robertson the best on his line...his line?
The disconnect on the PP is beyond me.

I can only hope that the difficulties are a product of a new coach and his demands. They are unsure of themselves. But it doesn't make for a good watch.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

I don't even want Tavares back at 2M. Let him walk

Nah f*** that. Get him an uber. He moves too slow

 

[Rare Jewel]

Big Tony is the best Leaf.

Again...

 

[horner]

Chicago owns our pick

 

[MSZ]

At least we're not losing.

That's before the refs give Boston a 5 on 3 to balance things out later in the game.

 

[sxvnert]

Willing to bet removing his C came with a promise to extend his contract.

Everytime he crosses the blueline immediately passes it to the left. Fking take it hard to the bet once in a while mix it up.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

I honestly believe we need to move on from Rielly and Tavares.

Chicago owns our pick

Is it not top 10 or 15 protected ?
