GDT: Maple Leafs @ Oilers || 8PM EST

[93gilmour93]

I am so mad right now; part of me wants dubas to trade matthews tonight and get some help to balance out the forward group

Bunting-Tavares-Marner
XXX-ROR-Nylander
XXX-Kampf-Jankrok
ZAR-Acciari-Laferty

McCabe Brodie
Rielly XXX/YYY
Gio Liljegren
Schenn

XXX and YYY are filled with return from Matthews trade

 

[Gabriel426]

Laffy- Acciari and ZAR is a really good line and I can see this line being a problem for any teams.
McCabe is meh, but that’s only ONE period, he needs to calm down and just play his game.
Sammy needs to calm down bc he is just too jumpy in net. The 2nd McD goal is a weak goal which he should had and maybe the Hyman goal too.
I don’t think Oilers is any good, bc every time we get into their zone, they panic, just need to cut down on neutral zone turnover esp when McD is on the ice and Sammy needs to control the pace of the game.

 

[horner]

Mathews no motivation.
Hyman looks better.

 

[Bellefour20]

The Flames have been awful against the Oilers all season long.

 

[JadedLeaf]

It is not as if last year was a fluke. He won the Richard the year before too.

For that reason, I think it has to be injury-related. We know he had wrist issues in the past.

At this point it feels like he's been dealing with an injury more often than not in his career and that's kind of worrying

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Some of you guys need to breathe. Maybe go for a walk.

 

[therealkoho]

Holl will costs the Leafs in the playoffs if we keep him and he plays.

And he makes some mistakes and if the goalie can't stop it and as long as the Leafs make the playoffs, because of all the mistakes they may not win another game and miss the plsyoffs

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

Samsonov Splits

Home
17-2-1 / 2.01 / .926

Road
5-5-1 / 2.83 / .904

Figure that out

Well he looks terrible so far. Sloppy rebounds, losing his angles and sight of the puck.

 

[Dragao6]

I would trade our entire roster for 97

 

[MSZ]

That was many years ago. Kadri is having a bad season.

 

[Stephen]

I love when this team talks a big game and then backs it up with performances like this. What happened to paying Dubas back for going all in for them? Frankly I don't think he made very good moves yesterday, but the players need to actually show up

The GM went hero on them yesterday and the whole team is sleepwalking. No special effort or attention to detail. Ho hum.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Sammy no bueno tonight

Matthews needs to wake up

 

[tmlms13]

O'Reilly trade had me fooled we'd be adding players like Ekholm after.

Laffy Duck might not even be better than having Engvall. Jake McCabe is a bandaid top 4 to go with super bandaid Holl

This perfectly encapsulates Leafs Nation

 

[Aashir]

Here comes the Edmonton lurkers….

 

[keonsbitterness]

Some of you guys need to breathe. Maybe go for a walk.

Or an enema.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Sammy no bueno tonight

Matthews needs to wake up

Saving it for the playoffs by all accounts.

 

[SprDaVE]

Some of you guys need to breathe. Maybe go for a walk.

"we dont care about the regular season"

*proceed to meltdown in period 1 of a regular season game after a couple additions*

 

[Metroid]

Sucks that oilers have something to prove.. they fighting for a playoffs spot... Hyman facing his old team. Mcdavid is facing a team he grew up loving... Leaf players are like "f***, why are we in Edmonton, can't wait to get out and just start the playoffs already"

I'm obviously joking.. but like .. sucky to see this

 

[htpwn]

Didn’t we score like 3 goals last game and like 4 the one before that.

Hmm, you're correct.

Interestingly, though, we have only scored the first goal in 1 of the last 6 games.

That must be where my feeling of poor 1st periods is coming from.

 

[therealkoho]

Ken Holland was a goalie at one time, he just said he's still looking for a Dman. Does anybody know if he's noticed how Holl makes all those mistakes seeing as Keefe hasn't, Edmonton might be a good place for him.

 

[frizzer1]

Schenn needs to play with Gio on the 3rd pairing. the only partner that has worked with Rielly all year is Lilly. Keefe is an absolute idiot for not knowing this.

Too slow together

 

[BallardEra]

I don't get how Samsonov has a .926 SV% at home and .899 on the road.

Matthews and Bunting for Draisaitl and Kostin

 

[Canadian Finn]

At this point it feels like he's been dealing with an injury more often than not in his career and that's kind of worrying

as my younger bro says,

Matthews isn't injury prone, he just gets injured a lot.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Really can't believe Matthews has been this mediocre so far this season.
