GDT: Minnesota @ Toronto - Wednesday 7pm

Can only tell them to go to the net so many times before you run out of breath

I thought we were in for a whole lotta accountability? Don't play the right way, miss a shift or two. Nah, it's the same old. Do what they want, when they want.

 

[DarkKnight]

Holmberg has to be waived.

I'm not the biggest Jarnkrok guy, but man what an upgrade he will be over this stiff.

 

[TMLeafer]

I can't watch Reilly not shoot with three guys in front of the net anymore.

He's so cooked. Useless in both zones. Too bad because he used to at least have a clue on offense.

 

[ACC1224]

Robertson has been the most engaged Leaf.

I noticed the last bunch of games that he doesn’t fall over as much.

 

[DarkKnight]

He's so cooked. Useless in both zones. Too bad because he used to at least have a clue on offense.

They floated him in a JT Miller deal, I'd look at it.

 

[Confucius]

Oh Christ, Berube is doing the “load up line” of Nylander-Matthews-Marner. A massive sign the coach has run out of ideas.

Someone tell him to do the opposite, I know it’s counter intuitive to him.

 

[CelticDruid]

Domi can't pass.
Five feet astray from any living being.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

What would you do to motivate them? I am honestly completely baffled as to how someone is expected to get these guys to give 100%.

I’d Separate our M&M from each other. It’s that simple. This team is crippled up front, Matthews and Marner don’t NEED each other to produce, but the rest of our sad-sack forwards need elite players to help them out. The team is completely non-threatening offensively. Spreading the wealth could help.

 

[frizzer1]

Well they would have to replace him with the best 2nd line center in hockey, tough assignment

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

 

[DarkKnight]

I noticed the last bunch of games that he doesn’t fall over as much.

He does look sturdier.

 

[Ports]

Brits certainly have a handle on how to make really good police procedurals. I think it's because they don't have to rely on an over abundance of gun play as most US produced shows do. It's like Yellowstone it started pretty good, but became intolerable after show #3 or so.

Loved Ozark, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and some others but most American crime shows are way too formulaic and predictable.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Great job Tanev.. my word

 

[frizzer1]

Domi can't pass.
Five feet astray from any living being.

He really is awful.
That’s why so many teams dumped him

 

[ACC1224]

Better shift there

 

[fahad203]

This is a boring game and team

 

[7even]

Tanev is so good dude

 

[wingman75]

You don’t get it, all good.

I could well argue you do not get it. lol

I get you want the bottom six to step up. That does not happen with the Leafs. Has not for years. If you have examples of it, I am all ears.

You are saying what you WANT, I am telling you how it IS. They are very different ideed.

Doesn't mean I don't get it... I just do not expect it. This team is the core. And it sucks.

 

[HockeyVirus]

I thought we were in for a whole lotta accountability? Don't play the right way, miss a shift or two. Nah, it's the same old. Do what they want, when they want.

Who cares it's only Jan! Not like when they lose in round 1 it matters. Marner knows he has 14M waiting for him, full no move. Whatever he wants.

 

[Aashir]

Minnesota is about to sweep the season series

When was the last time that happened…

 

[therealkoho]

People remember what they want to remember. Babcock was objectively an asshole who lost the room and was outcoached in the playoffs multiple times, but boomer logic dictates it must just be modern hockey players being "soft".

You certainly have a vivid imagination, well done young man, well done!

 

[MSZ]

It took them almost two periods to finally show some urgencies.

 

[LastOne2100]

Minnesota is about to sweep the season series

When was the last time that happened…

They've been good this season, and we've been bad lately.

Sweep was always an expected outcome.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Even our passing is awful.

 

[DarkKnight]

Holmberg can't connect on the elusive six foot pass, twice that shift.

 

[TMLeafer]

Put Nylander with Robertson and Pacioretty. Domi and Holmberg can't handle a puck
