GDT: Maple Leafs @ Senators | Game 69, Nice Edition | Sat Mar 18 2023, 7PM | CBC, SN

[Mingus Dew]

It’s on everybody. Sogaard cannot kick out a rebound directly into the slot but at the same time the rest of our players looked at McCabe drooling while he walked the line and picked his shot.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Zub has spiders in his brain.

 

[K1900L]

Their goalie makes the stop. Ours doesn't. It's been the story all year. It's not systems. It's not messaging. It's not DJ. Our players just aren't as good. Our guys are close and they're coming but they are not there yet.

We have had average goaltending all season long and still weren't able to comfortably reach playoff spots.
While goaltending certainly isn't superb, a lot of these goals are due to terrible turnovers, a huge amount of odd man rushes against each game and no rebound battles for the puck. And this is allsl systems and messaging.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Every kid born between 2013 and now in Ottawa has become a Leafs fans because of Matthews and Marner

Probably. I remember doing a co-op stint in an elementary school in 2012. Jersey day was all Crosby jerseys. Likely the same now with Matthews/Marner.

 

[Adrianopolous]

Debrincat can't score eazy chances

 

[Dionysus]

Zub has been bad lately.

Brutal non call on a board, can't wait for another terribly reffed game.

That's just poor parenting

 

[Ouroboros]

Leafs have a good pre-scout on 5.00gaard - shoot low for rebounds. he can't control them.

Troy Mann probably told them that.

 

[Speatleysson]

**** Murray is going to play like a superstar tonight

 

[L'Aveuglette]

DBC has two goals in the last 15 games when we need him to score most.

I'd be willing to keep him but at no more than $7 million per.

You need more than average goaltending.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

From his body language I don't think he wants to stay. Just my opinion

 

[KingAlfie11]

Every kid born between 2013 and now in Ottawa has become a Leafs fans because of Matthews and Marner

But why?

 

[WallyD]

Jesus, it’s easily 25-1 leaf vs Sens jerseys right now.

Not surprised... I know Ottawa season ticket holders who prefer to sell their Toronto game tix because (a) the price they get significantly offsets their package cost, and (b) because there is not much out there less pleasant than sitting among obnoxious Leaf fans!

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

But why?

Someone mentioned inbreeding and I tend to agree with that statement

 

[Senscore]

If we don't offer DeBrincat stupid money someone will

 

[Ouroboros]

**** Murray is going to play like a superstar tonight

Murray shutout is an absolute lock. Maybe a small chance he gives up a late one to make it 7-1 or something.

 

[Adrianopolous]

But why?

Because it's cooler to be a Leafs fan - being a Sens fans gets you made fun of

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Rookie goalie who isn't ready behind a defensively questionable team is not a recipe for success

 

[Speatleysson]

Batherson fanning on everything tonight

 

[headup]

5 Senators on the rush with 2-3 Leaf players behind them. Yikes.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Because it's cooler to be a Leafs fan - being a Sens fans gets you made fun of

Lol there's nothing cool about being a Leafs fan. It's more of a lemmings thing with these normies who just want to fit in.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Because it's cooler to be a Leafs fan - being a Sens fans gets you made fun of

Leafs fans have absolutely nothing to poke fun at now that we're getting new ownership. I really don't get it

 

[K1900L]

I know that many people like to criticise ADB for his lack of offensive output, but Batherson basically has been non-existent all season long both defensively and offensively.

Last game he was banging bodies, but mostly I agree
