GDT: Leafs vs the “best team in the North”

[PromisedLand]

somebody score a f***ing goal. doesnt have to be pretty. get an ugly one so habs can cheat on offense and give up odd man rushes

 

[Alerion]

I swear the habs committed 4 clear infractions in one shift

They did. This is clearly a swallow the whistle game.

 

[Wiseguys]

Tavares useless as always.

He has to carry Nylander. That's what's the problem with the line.

 

[hamzarocks]

Nylander and Tavares have had their chances tonight, but no finish.

Pretty clear that line wont work with Mikheyev there. Either Robertson or Joe come back and find chemistry and help the spacing and chemistry problems be fixed or Dubas pulls the trigger on the top 6 LW upgrade sooner than expected.

 

[Racer88]

I mean JT is PPG coming into tonight.

He has 1 goal and for 11 million cap hit we need him to be better

 

[Dangles McGavin]

Love that I'm feeling emotionally invested in this game. The rivalry is back!

 

[lipstickjunkie]

Imagine posters in the sexy willy thread trying to make other posters believe that willy is one the new breed of power forwards.

I’ve never seen a player so deathly afraid of a hit in my life. It’s embarrassing to see. No one should defend this type of play.

It is pretty funny when people call him a power forward.

 

[BTP]

These are the kind of close, tight games we need to play and win. Thats hows you build for the playoffs. Not the 5-1 shit.

 

[fahad203]

Vessey, Kerfoot and Engvall really don't bring much

I really hope they are just place holders until Joe, Robersson and Simmonds returns

 

[Leaf4Life]

Feels like we're a one line team all of a sudden.

 

[The Beyonder]

Are we sure we aren’t the team playing 3 in 4 nights? Jesus forget taking their foot off the gas they got out of the car

Leafs hit posts and whiffed on golden chances, this game has no business being tied at 1 if they just had some more luck or finish in this game.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Unless he does something today, Nylander is pointless in 4. His numbers look ok based on a hot start that quickly disappeared.

The whole second line is concerning.

 

[TMLeafer]

Noticed Hyman's taking Matthews' faceoffs after the first?

 

[Racer88]

It would be a good 1st line

In the AHL maybe.......lol

 

[2 Slick]

Leafs have had zero scoring chances in the third period. Awful

 

[garce]

Vessey, Kerfoot and Engvall really don't bring much

I really hope they are just place holders until Joe, Robersson and Simmonds returns

Going to make the decisions pretty easy

 

[The Man with a Plan]

There has been 1 penalty tonight in total and it was against the habs.

To be fair. There have been plenty of penalties but only 1 has been called.

 

[fahad203]

Feels like we're a one line team all of a sudden.

Once in a while, you have to get the boys going

Last game, Nylander, Marner and Matthews for one shift looked awesome

 

[HockeyVirus]

He has 1 goal and for 11 million cap hit we need him to be better

I agree but this is different than you saying one of the worst 2nd lines in the league lol

 

[saffronleaf]

Noticed Hyman's taking Matthews' faceoffs after the first?

hopefully nothing due to injury with all these friggin slashes

 

[2 Slick]

Soup turns around throws it to the offensive blackhole Muzzin.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I like how both Nylander and John went to get open for a pass and neither screened Price, making that save as easy as possible.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Maybe we need offsetting penalties to score a goal

 

[Racer88]

These are the kind of close, tight games we need to play and win. Thats hows you build for the playoffs. Not the 5-1 shit.

He is the anti power forward

 

[saffronleaf]

put tavares with marner and matthews. nylander with hyman and kerfoot or something. shorten the bench. just spitballing
