GDT: Leafs vs Oil. 9pm, TSN4

[mcleex]

Seriously tho that move Hyman pulled on his offside goal

I've never seen stone hands Hyman do that when he played on the Leafs

 

[fahad203]

One nice pass, but Marner invisible otherwise. Tavares and Nylander same. Too much money to be non-factors in any game.

Marner made 3 great passes tonight. All should have been goals

 

[34]

I truly believe that in 1 year's time it'll be the worst contract in the league

I think so.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

alright...please don't fall asleep and become complacent in the third....

 

[6ix]

I like the oilers offensive zone strategy of aggressive wall sealing. It’s lead to many second and third chances and extended zone time. Amazing what a coach that actually has a strategy can do.

 

[rdogg]

Did Huberdeau develop an equipment allergy that I missed or something?

Alright lets just say top 5 worst contracts in the league

 

[Anthrax442]

Shuddup, Mewrner

 

[ER89]

He and Matthews have been great

when they're not matched up against mcd. Otherwise its all in our own zone. Its quite pathetic that our guys can't carry their own lines consistently with pressure in the o zone unless its the sharks.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

What an awful goal to give up, but the ice was tilted for a while. The Leafs did play a bit better after it

Hopefully they don't sit back

this where keefe can tell them to use the glass to get puck out or just flip the puck out instead of always looking to make plays

Oilers winning the board game. They have a great organized forecheck. Our breakout is terrible, and still no real adjustment other than the flip.

Bad goal to give up by Jones. Could be a game turner.

If we're going to be playing our our heels in the third like the second half of the second, little chance we keep this lead.

 

[ULF_55]

Willie's going to go 38 games without a point now that he's making 8 figures.

Well he isn't actually making anymore today than last year.

 

[Mr_Fun]

its what happens when you have only 3 d who have half a brain and aren't as old as the stone age.

riellly - good
benoit - good
lilly - good
gio- old as f*** he aint it
brodie - old as f*** cannot be a top 4 and is getting beat by 3 and 4 liners
mccabe - might be the dumbest D-men on the leafs I've seen

Yeah, McCabe makes Phaneuf look like a Jeooardy champion.

 

[LeafParade]

Why do Matthews and Marner always refer to Holmberg as their favorite player. Is this some inside joke I do not know about?

 

[fahad203]

True, but I think Woll is better and he usually doesn't let in softies like that.

Saying that, besides that goal Jones has played well.

Woll has given his shares of terrible goals. I can think of the one against Ottawa behind the net giving the puck up to a Sens player

Jones goal was terribad and possible back breaker. But they have been in our zone all 2nd period

Woll isn't going to solve anything. Our structure is just bad

 

[CelticDruid]

To be fair his wallet is like 40% heavier. That's going to slow you down. Come on Willie.

Eight shots now?

He is the only one on that line producing offense right now.

Those other two stiffs have missed great chances setup by Nylander.

I'm not saying he's playing great but way better than last game. IMHO

 

[keonsbitterness]

This game better not be another blown multi goal lead. It absolutely cannot be. I fully expect the leafs to come out flying in the third and put this game away.

You said you were totally done with the Leafs. What are you still doing here?

 

[PromisedLand]

WTF is that peachfuzz I see on Mitch. Did he finally grow a few

Oilers are playing 3 lines and line matching

Keefe needs to shorten his bench and play the best 9 players.

Pumping up his trade value

 

[6ix]

Leafs are a pass happy team and not in a good way. The simple play doesn’t seem to exist in their brains.

apparently holmberg is really skilled; its just not translated to NHL as yet

 

[All Mod Cons]

It's the complete opposite to our D strategy. Just collapse to the net and stay narrow. We can never get to the walls in time.

 

[fahad203]

They like his mobility and hustle. He gets to the puck. Kind of like Hyman did
He just gets there. He just doesn't know what to do with it

 

[Craig Button]

Aside from the first shift of the game, haven’t noticed Marner.
