GDT: Oct. 25/16 | 22 teams in Action

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Considering your coach had beef with Mike Commodore when he wasn't even anywhere near this bad, this is on your coach for letting him play (and continue to if he doesn't get banished into another league after this game).

People love to blame the goalie or a really ****** defender, but I think Babcock is losing his touch. Sure, he did good for Team Canada for the World Cup, but that's a team that doesn't need coaching. Don't know what he's doing in Toronto, but it ain't working.

Shoddy analysis relating to the Leafs, even by your standards.

Anyways, shots were in our favor, Bolts were limited to under 25 as well. And no, not every time a team gets outshot it's because that particular team protected its lead for most of the game (because, in that case, most trailing teams would be outshooting the winning team, which isn't what a greater CF% is supposed to infer).
The goaltending and consistent play from our defenders just isn't there. And it's too bad for Babcock, because the alternative to playing some of these vets could mean exposing the inexperienced Marlie defenders to these sort of thrashings

 

[Aladyyn]

Flyers generated two on ones and dominated possession.

Sabres spent ages in their zone, did nothing in the offensive zone, and threw the puck back at their every 30 seconds.

Yea we're atrocious at 3on3. It's not much better with Eichel and Kane.

 

[Rebels57]

Kulikov hit on Voracek the exact hit Weise layed on Holzer that got him 3 games.

Now we find out if DoPS stands for Department of Player Safety or Department of Philadelphia Suspensions.

 

[Tripod]

Buffalo looked liked they were playing the percentages.

Neilson was 6-0 in SO. Philly has been the worst team in SO since it started. They killed time in OT trying to get to the SO. They gambled and lost.

By my standards? Don't act like you know anything about me except my rather negative opinions on the Maple Leafs. (Newsflash, everybody that isn't a Leaf fan don't like the Leafs, and there's many reasons for that.)

Oooh, you outshot us. Congrats! I didn't know that the winner of a game is the team that shoots the most! Quick, someone add this very telling statistic into corsi, STAT. Toronto will look amazing!

If there's one thing most Leaf fans have started to beef with Babs on it's that he's in love with Hunwick and Hunwick has basically become his new Cleary. Otherwise, he's done a fine job. We're getting atrocious goaltending and our defense is so green that he doesn't have a lot of vets to put out there and the ones that he does in Hunwick and Polak are awful. Not to mention that Rielly has been pretty meh to start the season and so has Gardiner (it's actually been Zaitsev that's been playing well). Marincin is... well, same Marincin as always. Quiet as hell. Carrick has been erratic but that's expected.

The D is going through big time growing pains with how young it is mixed with Hunwick being worse than Brett Lebda and Andy Wozniewski... oh, and Andersen has been letting in muffins. That's our biggest problems. Babs has contributed by not ****ing sitting Hunwick already, but otherwise, not much else to complain on that front. We play good possession hockey and have the puck a lot but can't defend in our own zone when we don't have the puck and almost always give up a dangerous chance.

Not much room to roam in the Kings game.
Not that I expect them to engage in a shootout, all things considered.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

No, but it's more likely given how large the lead was for the entire game (see: score effects).

 

[Baemon Severson*]

Kulikov hit on Voracek the exact hit Weise layed on Holzer that got him 3 games.

Now we find out if DoPS stands for Department of Player Safety or Department of Philadelphia Suspensions.

Good Lord

 

[kducks]

Huge save from Bernier.

 

[leaflover]

Werenski plays a mature game for a rookie. He has a really high ceiling.

 

[57special]

I haven't followed Subban's career, but he's been awful in the NHL so far. He looks so nervous and battles the puck on every shot

Subban wasn't great, but they didn't lose because of him. I couldn't believe that some were blaming him on the Stewart goal. Seriously? A one timer, all alone in front from 15', when he got all his weight behind it and picked a corner? C'mon.

 

[kducks]

Considering he broke Holzer's nose, I don't think it was the same hit.

 

[McClelland]

Poor Andersen in the doghouse of a unrealistic fanbase! Comparison to Shrivens in oilers is very legit, left alone with no defence and astronomic many highscoring chances. Dubnyk struggled heavy himself (new equipment rules) then lost confident etc.

Price maybe had last a couple week longer in Toronto before they runned him out of town!

Lurked a little in their board and there a lot of posters who question if babcock is the right guy,. Forget your dreams of playoffs 3-4 years so Babcock can develop this raw talents who gives up as much as they produce and fill in the needs in other areas such Defence. Marner will end up in Ahl soon and polish his junior style of play.

Thats why hunwick etc gets lots of toi to protect the youngsters and shelter their toi!

 

[leaflover]

Great piece on Fugere during the intermission.
Helps keep the petty crap in perspective.

 

[leaflover]

Nice shot by Saad but Budaj has to stay on his feet, too much room upstairs.

 

[voxel]

Damn, Kopitar... damn. Best player in the Western Conference (and I'm an Oilers fan).

 

[Alwalys]

Looking like a patented Sharks beatdown-loss in progress.

 

[Del Preston]

Ryan Dzingel has both goals for the Senators tonight. Four on the season.

Who the **** is Ryan Dzingel?

Dzunno

 

[canadianmagpie]

Do the refs have a bet on the under for number of penalties in the Canucks/Sens game? There's been quite a few penalties that haven't been called. I mean, how they don't call Skille's crosscheck to the face of Phaneuf or about 5-6 tripping penalties on either team. It's amazing that we get games where nothing is called and then every little thing is called in another.

 

[Hyack57]

They are asleep because the Canucks are playing horri-bad hockey. The Senators could have pulled their goalie and Hank would have been looking PASS all the way on a 2 on 1.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Kesler is Tort's illegitimate son.

 

[Del Preston]

What happened to Getzlaf?

 

[Senscore]

If anyone is looking for a waiver wire pool pickup, grab Ryan Dzingel right now. He's got speed, skill, and is getting regular top 6 minutes with Bobby Ryan and Derrick Brassard.
