GDT: Maple Leafs vs Flames The thursday (gezame)

[Havoc]

A goal a minute and we're still in it boys chill

 

[LastOne2100]

Sigh

Just crush the Canucks on Saturday. Also, split up JT and Nylander for a bit

Yeah we need Nylander paired with someone who can shoot.

Doesn't seem JT can do that anymore.

 

[keonsbitterness]

What other sport is that the case? Why is it only in hockey that it’s acceptable?

That's how the owners/managers want it.

 

[3blizzard4]

Ooooooo a save from Jack.

Jack killed all the momentum and mojo the Leafs had.

 

[saffronleaf]

He’s shooting the puck like his stick is made out stone or something.

lol shooting it like his hands are made of stone

 

[Nylanderthal]

Good one, Randy!

I’m not joking. Why is the game allowed to be played differently than it has been the whole year? Does baseball suddenly make the bases 93 feet apart instead of 90? Football, a much more physical game than hockey where imposing your will is the way to dominate is called the same throughout the year, so why hockey?

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Jt and muzzin at this point are just cap anchors.

 

[Stephen]

Bunting was ahead why is that icing?

Maybe the refs have plans after the game and want to move things along…

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

People keep talking about Simmonds, but they have Lucic, Gudbranson, Ritchie, Zadarov and about 3 or 4 other guys that play a greasy game. Simmonds is just one guy. Their whole team is built like that.

Simmonds, Ritchie, Clifford ... this would be a completely different game

 

[saffronleaf]

Why are different sets of rules acceptable? A penalty game 1 of the preseason should be a penalty game 7 of the SCF

couldn't agree more but would rather see the leafs actually win than theoretically win. it's just how it is unfortunately. hope it changes tho.

 

[LastOne2100]

A lot of good teams have learned that it’s easier to play by the other set of rules than to try and change the game.

How many playoff rounds can we cry about the refs not calling a lot of penalties before we realize we might want to be prepared to not need it?

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Yeah we need Nylander paired with someone who can shoot.

Doesn't seem JT can do that anymore.

He needs a center who can actually somewhat keep up.

Saying that he also doesn't look great though. Definitely not the commanding force he was earlier in the season.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Won 6 in a row. Can't win em all.

 

[fahad203]

Simmonds, Ritchie, Clifford ... this would be a completely different game

Then we would lose by 6 goals

Ritchie and Clifford shouldn't even be on our team. They are both done or we should be done with them

Mayfield and Crouse is the answer you are looking for

 

[Dragao6]

I appreciate these guys trying to defend each other but this team is so soft
They can try but we don’t have the man power

 

[Stephen]

lol shooting it like his hands are made of stone

That too, but notice how the puck comes off Tavares stick either so dead or explodes in weird directions? He’s gotta be better but it looks like the equipment isn’t helping either. Just weird.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Team lacks heart and u can see it.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

I think they do it right in football. They let a few more competition plays go (i.e. holding or interference) as long as it doesn't severely impact the other guy's ability to make a play.

If you horse-collar a guy or completely impede their ability to make a play, they will call it.

NHL, it seems like they don't even pay attention. One team can get away with everything and the other can get away with nothing.

 

[fahad203]

Won 6 in a row. Can't win em all.

Half of those were against NJ and Detroit. Two of them were comebacks in games were down and out
You can't build that habit. Especially against teams that has D and goalies like Calgary and most playoff teams

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Then we would lose by 6 goals

Ritchie and Clifford shouldn't even be on our team. They are both done or we should be done with them

Mayfield and Crouse is the answer you are looking for

Mayfield and Crouse would be great

 

[keonsbitterness]

No comeback tonight. We'll get 'em on Saturday.

The question has been asked for years. It is not changing soon. Best to get used it. Better if we took advantage of the "rule".

 

[DraftSchmaft]

I am concerned about Campbell having a .750 save percentage... Sure. Nobody is winning with that.

The rest, I am not concerned about... Because if we even get basic goaltending, we are at least tied in this game, and we win a lot more games than we lose.

Flames laid off the body for a while and Leafs still owning the fancy stats. You're correct at this point. This ones on Campbells shoulders 100%, the playoff loss blueprint was more in the moment fury comparisons.

 

[IrishInOntario]

If Muzzin isn't playing physical, at all, and isn't getting shots to the net from the point, what is he doing for 5.6 million per?

 

[steam whistle]

Those who laughed at Freddy's last game vs leafs make me laugh louder
