GDT: Leafs vs Islanders | 7:00pm | SNET-O | The Break is Over, The Push Begins Now

[TonsofPuppies*]

Hahah, 2 SHG in one powerplay? I have never seen that before, of course its the leafs.

 

[saffronleaf]

lmao... interesting period.

 

[Moncherry]

And people actually want to trade reimer. :

Reimer is nothing special either.

 

[mikebel111*]

Nice pp
It was a good period except 2 dumb moments
Kadri solid period
Lupul is brutal

 

[ConnorTO]

i hope people dont expect to be taken seriously when they cant even spell player's name right

 

[JB Maple Leafs]

why doesn't Carlyle play Clarkson with Kadri and Lupul on the PP instead of Raymond??? Put Clarkson in front of the net to cause havoc!!!

 

[jimmycarter]

everybody should be available except the first line, gleason, rielly. and can't get rid of phanuef.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

All I have to say is Leafs paging Kadri and Lupul. Time to step up and help out the #1 line.

 

[BonMorrison]

Not scared.

 

[tacoburrito]

randy is gonna have to choke a dman

 

[Wami]

Who's would you rather have, Grabner or Kessel?

 

[stish]

Pretty hilarious watching people freak out on here

They have 3 weeks of whining and complaining all ready to let loose. Honestly, it's why I rarely come here anymore. No one wants to read the constant childish *****ing about every single play.

 

[ULF_55]

Actually it was Bernier's fault.

Blatantly Bernier. Puck panic.

 

[Pi]

Jake Gardiner is the dumbest defenseman I've seen play for the Leafs in a long time. He takes brainless to another level.

I think I am losing hope on Gardiner. I think he's just a player that had a fantastic 30 games and now he's just back to Earth.

We have to ship out Franson and perhaps Gardiner ASAP.

So much talent but can't make plays under pressure. Gardiner crumbles under any sort of forecheck and gives up the puck.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

big fan of gardiner but i`m furious right now with him, he can GTFO

 

[TheThrill81*]

Why did Rielly ****ing skate over to Bernier crease. I was sure he was going to clear it but it hit his skates.

Why was Bernier outside his crease and then backpass it to Rielly? Score one for "elite" stickhandling.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Everytime when you think Gardiner has finally got it, he makes a terrible play.... ugh.

 

[ryno23]

Actually it was Bernier's fault.

Sorry that is Reilly fault. You learn as a kid if the goalie has the puck you move away from him to allow for a pass and force the forward to chose who he attacks the goalie or D.

Pretty basic peewee hockey concept

 

[BertCorbeau]

Some miscues for sure ... I was kind of expecting that because of the two week break, but the Bernier one was pretty bad ... Unfortunately the Leafs mistakes cost them two goals

Leafs are and will continue to get their chances .. The Isles aren't that good, the Leafs just have to keep skating and capitalize on their chances

 

[Kyle Doobas*]

Actually it was Bernier's fault.

Ugly goal, but I can't see what option Bernier really had but to try a fancy pass back to Rielly after he pretty much skated straight at Bernier instead of giving him an outlet.

 

[saffronleaf]

Jake Gardiner is the dumbest defenseman I've seen play for the Leafs in a long time. He takes brainless to another level.

lmao come on now.

Gerald Diduck? Aki Berg? Lebda? Hell, even Franson?

Gardiner is not at that level. I think he's got decent hockey IQ.

 

[bunjay]

why doesn't Carlyle play Clarkson with Kadri and Lupul on the PP instead of Raymond??? Put Clarkson in front of the net to cause havoc!!!

Because Raymond has 50% more PP goals than Clarkson has total goals? Because Clarkson was completely useless when he was given regular shifts on the second PP unit?

 

[Cor]

The second goal was just bad luck.

Not every goal needs to have someone at fault.

 

[Paradoc]

Nonis has to go out and trade for a defenseman because we have two that don't know how to play it.

 

[King85Kong]

Lets see how much people over-react after one period.
