GDT: Leafs vs Kings - 7pm - HNIC.

[Donnie740]

Eye test. Avoidance of front of net when other team is committed to hitting them. Dump in rather than take a check to make a play etc.

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.

Thought McMann had more time to go deeper and shoot

 

[garce]

Robertson+ for Rempe?

Rempe would just be a endless string of double minors, non offsetting majors and suspensions as a Leaf, even more than his stupidity as rag if that’s possible

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Tanev destroyed Lorentz LOL

 

[HockeyVirus]

Anyone notice if we win the forecheck battle the puck goes to the point most times. From there, the dman has no ability to make plays so just dumps it back down low and makes us have to win back the puck again? Over and over?

Soft to me isn't about entry, it is always about commitment and tenacity. Add consistency to this as well

They aren't the softest and they've improved, but the penalties they don't draw is astounding to me

They drew one now, heavy hockey draws calls.

Holmberg and Kampf together, a pair only a mother could love.

 

[thewave]

Gotta love Tanev. He wants to be a leader and shows it

 

[mcleex]

We got ripped off so bad on the Carlo trade

 

[93gilmour93]

A power play. Stop It....

 

[bax]

Holy shit are the refs ok?

 

[fahad203]

Good shift by the first line

 

[Aashir]

that was some great work by marner, matthews and knies

 

[Cleetus]

k time to get one here on the PP

 

[Nineteen67]

100% they score on this PP

 

[Burnie97]

Good job Leafers. Tie it up here.

A steady top 4 D man, the horror!

 

[bax]

Kings?

[Aashir]

we really need to score here

LA has really shut down much of what we've tried doing even strength.

time for the hot pp to show the benefits of being hot.

The Laughton trade was the bad one. Carlo ain't bad.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

This would be a good time to even the score. Don’t think they want to go down 2 to L.A.

 

[Geeve]

LA can keep collapsing like that because Leafs point is terrible, no shot threat and they bobble it up way be too much. But in essence if they collapse 3v1 that means someone is open.

 

[Confucius]

It's just weird. Throughout this cores time. I swear when Leafs were a heavy team in early 2000s they didnt get called for as many, but seemed to draw more.

Maybe Im wrong, I'd have to look at the stats

Wow it is weird 10 of our 12 least number of power play seasons have been with this core had to go back to one in the 70’s and the 94/95 season to round out the top 12.

LA is not a good team. We obviously have a tendency to make medicore team look great.
These are not the 95 Devils

Leafs players want to want it. We are lacking desire and hunger
