GDT: Leafs vs Sens 7pm on TSN

[frizzer1]

When all is said and done
, Kyle Dubas will be referred to as the GM who signed John Tavares.

But... those two were criticizing the leagues decision...

yup, but I think the narrative is that the refs do nothing wrong. Im pretty sure the league is hoping this blows over and they can get back to game management.
They think we are going to hate a game with lots of calls. They want us to complain so they can say "see, you want game management"
Its a protest of sorts.

Jokes on them, calling everything is a more level playing field.
Same as calling nothing.

Literally anything is better than game management.

So Tavares is our new scapegoat? 27 points in 32 games and people acting like he has 10 points.

He be amongst the top 3 scorers on 18 different teams lol... but yeah he’s washed now.

... While people are dumping on Tavares, who obviously hasn't played well at times this year (definitely disappointed) can we talk about Auston Matthews and his 1 goal over his last 17? Periods of hockey. I know his wrist isn't 100% but this team can't be successful when our 11.7 million per player isn't producing. Meanwhile, a segment of this fan base tried to convince the rest of us that Matthews was as good as good as McDavid. While that's obviously not true, the gap has been extreme lately. In that same 17 period stretch I just referenced, McDavid has 4 goals and 8 points.

Time for our guy to step up and lead his squad.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

yeah point a game what a bum

He sucks for a 11m player.. he can't pass the puck, makes stupid plays.. but you go on and keep on defending him!

 

[djdev]

anyways, lets git er done now plz.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

I find it concerning that Matthews hurts his wrist a bit, and as a result $40 million in 4 forwards can't ever score.

Marner, Nylander, and Tavares have a combined 30 points in the last 12 games. All have 10 points each. Rielly has 8 points in the last 12 games himself.

The man with the hurt wrist is the most useless of the bunch right now by far. He had that nice Winnipeg OT goal and one other nice Winnipeg game. That is pretty much his entire highlight package since the Leafs' slide. He's had some bad puck luck, but his shot is not good right now and you can tell with how much he has struggled in the past 9 games.

 

[NK94]

hope the mods read your post and see what kind of nonsense your a spewing, what a joke

Says the guy crying over being down 1-0 20 minutes into a 60 minute game. Lmao.

 

[34]

ye most his career "highlights" are him being able to hold onto the puck in traffic, now he gets tapped and its a giveaway or a panicked pass often to the opposing team.

Yeah, but he is not the only Leaf struggling right now. The offense has completely dried up. Matthews and Marner have been ice cold.

Hopefully things change and the puck starts going in the net for them again. I don’t see Matthews not scoring for too much longer, he is just to good of a goal scorer.

I don't know if it will, Social media will light up on every game management call now

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Great shift from the 1st line

 

[TopChedder]

Agreed!

Sure he could be a bit more dominant, but I am hoping he picks it up.

Also posters talking about his age and how it's caught up to him.....he turned 30 like 5 months ago lol

 

[saffronleaf]

Who knew this was the Forsberg we should have been pursuing all along

 

[Griffin76]

I'm guessing you'll never see Campbell be indecisive with the puck again.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Nylander not having a great game.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Crazy how the Leafs pressure evaporates as soon as Tavares steps on the ice

 

[Sniper99]

When all is said and done
, Kyle Dubas will be referred to as the GM who overpaid John Tavares.

fixed, but hes not the only one he overpaid.

 

[Cleetus]

Says the guy crying over being down 1-0 20 minutes into a 60 minute game. Lmao.

yea talking about the game is one thing, telling people the dont deserve a covid shot over how they cheer for a team, a complete joke.... worst post ive read on here in a long while, give your head a shake

 

[NK94]

When all is said and done
, Kyle Dubas will be referred to as the GM who signed John Tavares.

Yeah how dare he sign a franchise centre who still amongst the top 15 in points and goals since signing here! Especially when the best available defenceman in free agency that summer was Mike Green! The nerve!

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Hope Andersen sees this bro.

I hope you're right!

 

[Thissiteisgarbage]

People are upset that at 11 million, you expect something more than a glorified grinder.
His moments of excellence are few a far between for two seasons now.

 

[Azazel]

I don't know if it will, Social media will light up on every game management call now

Im hoping you are right. Nothing is worse for the game.

 

[nuck]

Matthews needs to wake up. 5 points in his last 9. He is supposed to be our McDavid but he is not pushing the pace.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Dermott a few quick elite D plays. That is what people miss about his game when they dislike him.

 

[TorontoTrades]

Question, I missed the first 12 minutes.

How was the Galchenyuk tribute video?
