GDT: Leafs vs Kings - 7pm - HNIC.

[Aashir]

pp not great

i don't mind the rush attempt from marner, didn't work out though which sucks

 

[Cleetus]

Kings getting the better chances short handed, leafs hockey baby!!!!!

 

[PanniniClaus]

Kings clog up the neutral zone and play a modified trap. Need to dump it in slowly and take the body.

It's funny, I think most feel the Kings still play the 1-3-1 but Hiller ditched it this year. They play a 1-2-2, basically a spear and a box in the NZ. What makes it work is the roster they have. D that have a great gap and can close and forwards that sense danger, provide back pressure and then pick up trailers coming in.

They have hardworking, intelligent and also skilled hockey players. Going to be a tough out.

Berube hockey could actually work as you have alluded to, if we had the right personnel. Which we don't.. up front anyway.

Can’t get one f***ing shot off on this PP. f***’s sake.

 

[Cleetus]

Leafs PP is like this website "An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later."

 

[fahad203]

When we are supposed to dump and chase, that's when we carry the puck

 

[yubbers]

Why is Jarnkrok on the PP? LOL

 

[ClarkSittler]

LMAO Jarnkrok on the Powerplay. Berube is drunk.

 

[Aashir]

exactly how our pp will look like in the playoffs

 

[thewave]

The mid Nov PP is back!

 

[mcleex]

A steady top 4 D man, the horror!

He can barely skate

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

What a PP

 

[Maple Leaf]

jarnkrok thinks he is datsyuk?

 

[fahad203]

exactly how our pp will look like in the playoffs

[Mr_Fun]

#sad.

 

[DarkKnight]

That PP was atrocious lol.

 

[PanniniClaus]

One person proclaims the Leafs are the softest team in the league, immediately after another person proclaims the Leafs are the only team in the league playing 1970’s grinding dump-and-chase hockey.

Only on hf boards.

To be fair, it's dump and very little chase.. we are a very poor forechecking team overall.

 

[Nineteen67]

Kings?

Well the Leafs didn’t get a shot, so????

 

[notbias]

Robertson+ for Rempe?

Sounds good, we need more AHLers.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Looks like the playoffs alright.

 

[Donnie740]

Expected toughness is the stat you are looking for

What about “high danger hits”?

 

[All Mod Cons]

Our very highly paid players struggle so much in games like this. Nylander usually finds a way to make an impact late in the game though

 

[ULF_55]

the only problem with that is him playing in Toronto he would play like 2 seconds and be banned from the league lol

Save him for MAD moment.

 

[HockeyMad68]

Berube better break out the line juggling machine. These lines are useless

 

[DarkKnight]

He can barely skate

Either can Tanev, who cares.
