GDT: NYIslanders @ Toronto - Second Sprint Starts - 2/5/24

[Burnie97]

It's odd how bad leafs play against this team. I don't get it.

They have a solid goalie... decent d but not much else.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

This was sneaky genius from NYI. They got our best defensive player off the ice for 5 mins. Luckily we also scored.

 

[mikeyz]

Marner giveth and Marner taketh away. LOL

 

[MSZ]

It's the same careless Leafs before and after the all star break.

Don't be a buyer at the deadline, please please please.

 

[fahad203]

We have a lot of players that brings very little

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

He was tired

Can't really blame him, Kyle MacLean has world class skill and has made all kinds of goalies look silly

 

[Aashir]

Liljegren spent that entire shift chasing the puck lol

 

[Cleetus]

He bit so hard on that, worse than the ai goalie in NHL 95, dang that was bad

 

[Byron Bitz]

If I’m Keefe I’m making a new rule where the team treats every Islanders game like a playoff game. Anyone who plays like shit against the Islanders gets benched next game and if they lose the entire team bag skates next practice. I’m sick of this team losing to this shit team.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Marner giveth and Marner taketh away. LOL

He was determined to only pass backwards on that PP.

 

[ULF_55]

Laugh ... that's coaching.

"Oh, Keefe tells them to be complete idiots?"

I hope so otherwise they are.

Leafs don't have solid goalie or decent d so it's not that odd we play bad against them.

 

[saffronleaf]

great shot willy lol

 

[TimeZone]

Nylander casually trying to snipe one from behind the goal line in the corner, good stuff Willie

If they treat every Islander game like a playoff game, they are sure to lose, so I don’t understand your point

 

[scotian1]

Leaf stars far too careless with the puck

 

[Aashir]

Matthews has made 3-4 godawful passes so far

 

[DarkKnight]

Knies doesnt even want the puck, put him on another line. Flip him with 89.

It's not really that odd if you notice how the Islanders play.

They play a heavy aggressive, grinding, forechecking, playoff style game where they don't really give you anything and you have to work for everything that you get. Our biggest Achilles heel..

 

[saffronleaf]

marner too weak on the puck

 

[Cleetus]

we need some intensity. these guys are just too nonchalant

Really not sure why Keefe doesn't try Robertson there. That line needs someone with motor

 

[saffronleaf]

just chillin

 

[DarkKnight]

McMann is really underwhelming.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Another coach gets ahold of Matthews and Marner and after one period worth of hockey can tell it isn’t optimal.
