GDT: Maple Leafs (15-8-1) vs Capitals (13-10-1) | 7:00 PM EST | Hockey Night In Canada!

[WilliamNylander]

Someone get Garrett Sparks on an Uber already

This is embarassing

 

[Advanced stats]

Can't really blame mcbackup on either goal, but if he let's another on in early in the 2nd.. Andy time.

 

[34]

Game over.

Leafs first game shut out this season here.

 

[hockeyes]

Feels like a 6 or 7 GA night with how shaky the goaltending looks

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Sickening listening to these two morons in the booth.

Leafs continue to play like crap.

What are you talking about? They have been by far the better team tonight.

 

[Havoc]

What else to expect when it's Ovi vs McBackup. Knew he was good for at least 2. Hopefully it ends here and Leafs can take over. Caps aren't playing that great besides Ovechkin making it known he's going to eat the backup for dinner.

 

[TMLS]

Hughson and Simpson getting progressively more happy as the period went on.

I'm watching the washington feed, 100% better than hughson and cbc.

 

[MJ65]

? he's been good

He is suppose to score which he is not doing and that's the bottom line

 

[Maple Leaf]

JVR - Matthews - Marner
Marleau - Nylander - Kapanen
Leivo - Kadri - Brown
Komarov - Gauthier - Hyman

Rielly - Hainsey
Gardiner - Zaitsev
Dermott - Borgman

Andersen
Sparks

let's go

This is right

 

[Pinto]

He’s gotta stop that 2nd one for sure. He just looks so slow and awkward in net

 

[BertCorbeau]

First one was a deceptive release by Ovi .. I'll let that one slide.

Second one McBackup has to have.

Happy with the team's effort overall though.. They can score, they just have to keep the effort up.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Outside of those two shots, Washington has shown nothing. Leafs controlling possession. Lots of time to get it back.

 

[CyBorgman]

JVR - Matthews - Marner
Marleau - Nylander - Kapanen
Leivo - Kadri - Brown
Komarov - Gauthier - Hyman

Rielly - Hainsey
Gardiner - Zaitsev
Dermott - Borgman

Andersen
Sparks

let's go

Putting Marner with you top 2 goal scorers is the best way to ensure you score no goals.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

2 goals on 7 shots..... solid backup right there holy f***

 

[LaPlante94]

good job scratching sosh, carrick and leivo

Yeah cause we looked amazing last night in Carolina with all of them in the lineup

 

[CelticDruid]

Leo could've played it a bit better IMO.

Good shot though.

Leo with the fly by.

 

[Not My Tempo]

Honestly I don’t have any complaints that period about the team (minus Komarov).

 

[Savvy]

Not that he’s had glaring mistakes so far this game but if the leafs manage to lose this I believe that would make the leafs 1-5 with him in the lineup, correct? That’s a pretty glaring “coincidence”

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Low blocker side twice. Straight through.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Maybe there's a reason they are star players.

But Ovechkin doesn't average anywhere near a goal per game against most teams. The leafs are especially bad at it.

 

[TMLeafs18]

Leivo scores and has a good game last night which obviously means he needs to be in the press box tonight.

Didn't look very dangerous in that first period

 

[Confucius]

Can we call up Pickard already....McBackup is absolute trash.

Isn't he 2 and 0 and played great until today.

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

Ovechking is a f***ing legend.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

JVR - Matthews - Marner
Marleau - Nylander - Kapanen
Leivo - Kadri - Brown
Komarov - Gauthier - Hyman

Rielly - Hainsey
Gardiner - Zaitsev
Dermott - Borgman

Andersen
Sparks

let's go

Babcock separate Hyman and Matthews or Kadri and Komarov?

 

[CyBorgman]

Liked they folded last night? This narrative doesn't even make sense.

Actually yea exactly like they folded last night. If Andersen doesn't make several big cross crease saves in the final minute they blow that lead.
