GDT: Leafs vs Devils 7:30 PM

[therealkoho]

I disagree with all due respect
The difference is unlike other teams Detroit and NJs are bad enough that we can come back

They haven't instilled any good habits. The lack of effort and lack of hitting still there
Those are habits we want to instill. We dont' finish our checks, that's still part of the game

Our D doesn't take the man to kill the cycle

Agree with some of this, I have noticed though that are using a little more physicality for stretches, like that 3rd Period against Detroit. When they do turn it on they're formidable

 

[fahad203]

We better pray and sacrafice few lambs that we don't get a bad slump for Campbell during playoffs

Campbell seems very mentally fragile or strong. When he's broken he's broken.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

think the contract banter got to jack. assuming he would have been happier then hell getting 2.5-3 x 5 last year but after his stellar play numbers like 5 and 6 were starting to get tossed around its almost like he's trying to hard

dude needs to sit back and get back in to his chill mode

 

[Teeder Keon]

No better time than now for Mrazek to get hot. Keep playing him.

 

[ANDI P IS CUTE]

the only think that matters is goaltending, wow what a pickle the leafs are in now.

It seems like we have a bit of a billionaire boys club culture which isn’t great. But they do seem to lay these kind of eggs against teams they easily handle on paper (and don’t) and bring their A stuff against the stiffer competition. If you’re watching from a coaching perspective there’s a lot not to like. Like why not just bring a sharp, serious mentality get up and hold the lead with authority?

 

[DraftSchmaft]

this intermission feels extra long

 

[leafsfan5]

Man the leafs act like the 73-9 Golden State Warriors when they’re really the Lebronto Raptors

Need to learn some humility and take every team seriously. We haven’t accomplished a thing

 

[Alamo Leafer]

He did help carry this team this far this season though. But, yes, it is concerning now

 

[frizzer1]

He's actually been terrible every time I've seen him. I get it he's young and has potential to get better but right now, presently, he's a train wreck defensively.

He has the physical ability but seems to lack hockey sense.
Can that be fixed?

 

[Stephen]

t.o. might not even sign jack at this rate.

Depends on how badly he plays the rest of the way. Mrazek has the term so if he’s got the upper hand the rest of the way it would actually be pretty easy for the Leafs to just go with the guy with the 2 extra years and try to get another platoon. Everyone loves the high ceiling but not if it comes with a low floor. Love Jack, everyone is rooting for him but you hesitate to give him the keys to the franchise.

 

[Ciao]

This is why you need two NHL-calibre goaltenders.

They can pick each other up.

yeah first 1/4 Campbell easily has this game 2-0 or 2-1 Leafs right now so I guess they got spoiled by that. They can't get away with it any more if he's going to be mediocre so time to kick the habit.

 

[therealkoho]

Punch was awesome !
Who didn’t like a wobbly once in a while

Diju know he crashed his plane in North Sask, broke a leg, lost an eye and crawled out of the bush after 40 days or something like that guy was made of hard leather and crazy!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

It's both, our goaltending should be better, but he shouldn't even be in a position to be pulled vs. This team

I mean...2 of the 3 goals were just straight up terrible to let in. We are going to give up shots and chances against. Literally every team in hockey does. We need competent goaltending or we go nowhere.

 

[ULF_55]

I think the keeper making a stop helps the young defense.

Goalie whiffing on everything will do no good.

I think that thread jinxed him

 

[SeaOfBlue]

no sorry
He has been bad for while a while now

He really has not.

If we are looking at January as a recent sample, and this has been his worst month of the year, nobody on our team has done better in possession. He has been a little bit up and down defensively, but far from the worst on our team and definitely not bad enough to take him out of the lineup.

Our goalies have made him look a lot worse than he is in January.

I know , crazy
Barilko wasn’t so lucky
Don’t know but a found that under my Cap

 

[123offtheglass]

Was he not starting tomorrow no matter what?

I thought so, he's practically playing a full game tn too tho, so that'd be a back-to-back for him.

 

[aingefan]

I flipped over to the raptors game

Nice busy week btwn the Raps Leafs and Marlies.
Finally.

 

[fahad203]

Did Keefe give the bosy steroids?

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Matthews needs to hold that one and do his signature sling shot wrister instead

 

[HockeyVirus]

Agreed because he has a slap shot that would make Phaneuf proud. Hard af but no one, not even he knows where it is going. Most likely somewhere up over the net
