GDT: Leafs vs Canucks - 9PM SN

[Chief Berube]

You meant shutdown 3rd

LOL yes defs meant to say shut down haha

 

[Gabriel426]

Totally. Earlier in the season, we had GREAT movement on our PP. Guys were flying, snapping the puck around, changing position constantly, super dynamic. Now everyone is pretty stationary and just making safe passes from the point to the half wall and back - of course we aren’t generating prime chances.

Overall, our offence is just a lot more static, safe and predictable. That has to change, our strength is high end offensive talent who play a really dynamic, fast paced, somewhat risky game with the puck. I think we have to get back to that.

It is interesting that during the beginning of the season even though the team were flying they couldn’t score as much but managed to play a very discipline lock down game.
While the last 10 games or so, they can’t score on PP and the offence is okay but yet they can’t seem to lock down game.

Can't polish a turd!

You can, but its a shitty job.

 

[Lightsol]

We're tied with a shitty team 48 hours after the most embarassing loss of our lives.
We could be better.

You haven't been a Leaf fan long, have you Apologist?

 

[keonsbitterness]

Lmao Friedman.

Even game?

Leafs deserve win 75% to 25.

[CapspaceKiller]

the leafs have no urgency in this game

 

[Chief Berube]

If Bogo is out I can see Keefe keeping Sandin in and putting Dermott at RD

or Sandin with everyones favourite.... Marincin

Tavares is playing great at a perfect time. Most importantly, he's giving the other guys the blueprint. *Stop* with the cute passes and just get the puck on the net by either shooting it from wherever or get to the front of the net.

Both teams are playing well BTW, should be a good 3rd.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

A good ol' prairie boy, to boot.

He was born in the saddle dome and his dad is the architect, then they moved back to scotland and started an electronic band named Boards of Canada. His mom was in Abba.

 

[wingman75]

I'm surprised Habs fans didnt call 911 when Chiasson injured Price.

For those who don't remember: Habs fans tie up police emergency line with calls for Chara's arrest

 

[The Apologist]

Getting prepped to misplay that one too?

Probably, because apparently whether he takes the shooter or the pass away it's wrong.

 

[Gabriel426]

Remember that long shot from the boards that beat Andersen in overtime against Washington?
A sign of things to come.

He was still giving the team a chance to win game in and game out.

 

[Bellefour20]

I can tell you that last shot of the seawall in Vancouver on SN Pacific was not live. The sun is setting as we speak and that looked closer to midday.

 

[Gallagbi]

Probably, because apparently whether he takes the shooter or the pass away it's wrong.

When you do both poorly that'll happen

 

[wingman75]

Hutton says hi

Right! And I think he is eligible for Thursdays game too. I do feel we'll need Bogo though if we're going to do any damage in the playoffs.

 

[Killer Orcas]

A good ol' prairie boy, to boot.

Was born in Calgary then the USA until 14 until moved to Sweden. He spent summers in Sweden during his childhood as well. Had to google some knew was born Canadian but lived in Sweden.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

What duo is better? Hughson and Simpson or the guys calling the game on SN west/pacific?

 

[MSZ]

the leafs have no urgency in this game

JT and Nylander are the only two Leafs showing up so far.

 

[Gabriel426]

The Canucks generate so much offense from the point compared to us

That’s bc their Dman actually shoot the puck while ours like to make the perfect pass and be on Highlight of the Night

 

[smokes lets go]

thanks for the insight, craig.

We're tied with a shitty team 48 hours after the most embarassing loss of our lives.
We could be better.

Not to mention the shitty team is recuperating from a pandemic that affects their cardiovascular health.

To further emphasize this point, just take away Matthews's goals. What you get is Sabres-level suck and I'm thanking the powers that be that Tavares and Nylander are heating up.

 

[Gallagbi]

Hutton says hi

He's a good Bogo replacement given he can log big PK time

 

[The Apologist]

You haven't been a Leaf fan long, have you Apologist?

Sadly yes, not as long as some but long enough to have proudly sported my 'Alan Bester' jersey.
The 'most embarassing' line was kinda piling on how crappy the Sucks are.

 

[Leaf4Life]

Rielly is completely ineffective on the PP. What is he doing out there? His shot is not just putrid but he can't even get it through traffic it's so slow.

 

[ACC1224]

Lmao Friedman.

Even game?

Leafs deserve win 75% to 25.

Seems like a pretty even game

I only believe the National Enquirer.
