GDT: Leafs vs Devils 7:30 PM

[Amadeus]

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

With experience, yes.

What a f***ing pathetic display this has been so far. A little blip of 10 minutes of hard play and then nothing for the other 30.

Well, I guess all you can really say is when they suck, there is no mistaking it. Zero structure, all over the ice, but especially in our own zone. I reckon we've seen this nemerous times this season, but the goaltending isn't there to bail them out lately.
Shades of Saturday night, for two periods anyway...

Tell me again the reason they were losing to Detroit was the 'new' lines. BS.

maybe for the third period they need to go to the new lines

 

[zeke]

These last 2gms are two of the very worst efforts of the year.

 

[Teeder Keon]

they need to mix it in his soup

 

[PromisedLand]

Hahahahahhaa. Has Malgin even had 6 points for us ??

 

[DraftSchmaft]

There is literally only one Leaf that can make a NJD look over their shoulder on a 50/50 puck.

And that one Leaf played less than 5 out of 40 minutes so far.

We are the weakest team in the league. Must be fixed

What has he even done lately to deserve more ice time though.

I can’t disagree

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

I always root for the boys to win, but if this is what were gonna see in round 1 why wait for changes, start them now.

[therealkoho]

He wanted out of the matrix?

Trade bait they won't be resigning him

 

[keonsbitterness]

Why are they promoting this lunatic Dan O'Toole?

Promoting? I thought it was a paid ad.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Or for anyone

 

[HockeyVirus]

Ok sorry why are we watching a 9/11 tribute thing during the f***ing intermission? f*** SPORTSNET

 

[keonsbitterness]

ok but still waiting on closure re: brooks

He needs to get seven points in a game for that.

 

[NylanderBros]

There's a difference between "not strong" and multiple odd man rushes, multiple bad turnovers in prime areas and several good scoring chances.

Don't get dominated by a bad team is a low bar.

That’s happened lots this year, the difference is Campbell stopped them before

 

[Stigma]

What the f*** is this?

 

[TheShape]

Promoting? I thought it was a paid ad.

Promoting wasn't the right word, regardless get the maniac off my screen.

 

[All Mod Cons]

I'm starting to worry this isn't a slump and just how they play now. They were great before the break, how do u fall off so hard.

Every season we look good for the first half of the season.
Then we start to drop off a bit. Results keep coming through (for the most part), but the systems go out the window, and questions about the goaltending arise.
Then we really start to struggle in the last 20 games or so. We look bad, goaltending goes to shit, players look sluggish with carrying knocks, and the PP looks completely lost.

Then the playoffs start. We put up a fight, but get eliminated at the first hurdle.

Then the offseason happens and we're all good again.

Its a terrible cycle.

Gander during the Third Reich

Is that the intermission I'm not watching?

 

[fahad203]

Gander such a great story

 

[v00d00daddy]

What has he even done lately to deserve more ice time though.

Not saying he deserves more. I’m saying we literally have ONE player that can worry the opposition and he’s a 4th liner. We’re boys playing in a men’s league

That's what LeaFland sees when they watch the Leafs falling behind

 

[Man Bear Pig]

What I hate is how talented this team is and the last few months they've become lazy in the first 40 or 50 minutes every night it seems.

Just sucks because how do we get better? Trading one of the big 4 simply won't make us a better team. We'd need to essentially call er and retool, trading all our elite talent for several blue chips and draft picks, draft like 5 or 6 times in the first round the next few years, and hope this time it all works out.
