GDT: Leafs vs Jets - Tuesday 7pm

[keonsbitterness]

RIP Chris Schultz

Super nice guy.

 

[CerebralDevil]

Time for the Jumbo Joe experiment to end. He is too slow and can’t handle the game speed or transitions. He is losing puck battles and giving up the puck. He needs to retire

 

[All Mod Cons]

Yep, and another 4 seasons of this cap hit.

It's horrendous and will hold us back for It's duration

 

[Stephen]

Is Tavares even bothered anymore? Or just happy collecting his 11mil a year. What a waste of money.

It’s a bad sign when he plays a good game and the first thing that comes to mind is “he’s skating well, I’m surprised.”

 

[wingman75]

Holl sucks

He does tonight, but he has company. Muzzin has been equally as bad.

Also, too many egregious mistakes. One offs, yes, but they all ended up in goals... no recovery from those big mistakes.

Team played well. Jets played like crap and still won.

 

[DarkKnight]

He’s in the zone now.

 

[hamzarocks]

lmao

Once again showing proof leafs have a finishing problem

Really need to consider calling out certain players

Andersen, kerfoot, mkiheyev, Engvall, Marner/Nylander, JT, Matthews should be called out

Holl and Muzzin should be asked if they were high this game

Rielly should be told he cant keep getting walked around (and hes my favourite player on this team but hes got to stop that)

Only Zach Hyman is fault less.

 

[keonsbitterness]

LMAO, this GDT has to be gold for Jets fans

They're gonna frame it.

 

[frizzer1]

The leafs offense has been Matthews/Marner all year long.
With Auston hurt the results are not surprising.
That and with a goalie who can’t be counted on to make game saving stops

 

[Alerion]

This guy is f***ing phenomenal.

 

[leafsfan5]

This guy is our father

 

[klmdg]

Yep, not on Freddy. LOL

 

[zeke]

Hilarious difference in goaltending tonight.

 

[JayfromNB1219]

Sorry guys that wasn’t skill that was damn luck on helle’s part...

 

[Teeder Keon]

Usually a last game of a slump looks like this one

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Thursday’s game is a big one!

I agree.

We're fast approaching the question of whether the leafs are in a slump, or if they overperformed in their first 2 months.

 

[LastOne2100]

We have the worst goaltending in the North outside of Ottawa.

 

[BTP]

how the f*** is every goalie we face the literal second coming?

 

[Stephen]

That line desperately needs someone who can finish. Nylander has set Kerfoot up for so many Grade-A chances and he blows 90% of them,

Once upon a time that would have been Tavares...

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

If we don't learn how to solve Hot Goalies It's going to be the same old story in the Playoffs.

 

[Critical13]

Perhaps I’d be more open to goaltending critiques from people who didn’t spend a year telling me Sparkles was a goalie. But I digress...

Freddie needs to do more, agreed. Freddie is a question mark to bring us to the promised land. Absolutely.

To be honest, I don't even really think Freddie is bad. I just don't think he's the starter on a contender.

Vegas - Lehner/Flower
Boston - Rask
Tampa - Vasi
Dallas - Khudo/Bishop
St. Lou - Binnington

It's just a completely different level of goaltending.

 

[TMLAM34]

Time for the Jumbo Joe experiment to end. He is too slow and can’t handle the game speed or transitions. He is losing puck battles and giving up the puck. He needs to retire

I wouldn’t say retire. But definitely needs to be demoted to the bottom six that’s for sure. He can’t keep up with Matthews and Marner in transition and it only hurts them.

 

[93LEAFS]

He was above average his first 2-3 years, but hasn't been for a while now. As our Defensive play improved (and even a bit before) his struggles have been more consistent

He's 7th in sv% among 16 goalies who have played over 6000 minutes since the start of 2018-19. That's pretty much exactly middle of the pack. 6th is GSAA. He's pretty much what we pay for.

Do I wish he was better, yes. But, expecting Campbell to walk in and play 55 games and not become the next scape goat seems like a reach.

 

[saffronleaf]

Great save by andersen. Now we can blame the whole team for letting him down

at least we know that's what he'll do

 

[Hockey Crazy]

f*** this
