GDT: October 16th Leafs at Caps 7:00pm on SN1

[A1LeafNation]

And here I thought keeping McBackup was the right move

We could have signed him this off season, but Marner.

 

[BackPassChampions]

Worst period for the Leafs in a LONG time.

Tampa says hello.

 

[deletethis]

I'm not really a fan of Kerfoot.

 

[Drytoast]

Tavares line has been invisible apart from that last chance.

We paid over 20 mil for that line to NOT be invisible...

 

[Jozay]

team doesnt give one shit about playing defense.

 

[Steven1562]

Need to find a decent backup. Hutch just doesn't impress me.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

Were still talking about this? This game isn't on Hutch btw it's on the team playing terrible.

 

[Canadian Finn]

brah? How about you go back to your basement, virgin?

Awesome reply

Well deserved.

This is the 3rd time I'm going to be posting this:

We gave Matthews a VERY handsome contract and he is basically picking and choosing games where he wants to physically engage.
The game of hockey REQUIRES you to put your body on the line. This boy is literally going out his way to avoid contact on the ice. We paid this boy 11.7 x 5 so he can forego the physical aspect of hockey whenever he feels like it? Is this seriously the level of entitlement we're allowing in this organization?

I am yeah. Sorry I guess

Who are you? Where did you sprout up from?

Caps are looking for their 1st home win. At some point we gotta give them credit for sticking with it. They're playing a helluva game. Total domination. Yet, only down by 2. It's still a game.

It was really just one brief period where we took a crap load of penalties including one on Shore that goes uncalled 99% of the time.
If they start calling that all game we'd be in the PP for 60 minutes a game.
Leafs need to find their feet. Scoring three goals against this caps team is not an impossible task.

Well you better become a fan because for a 3c, he's all we can afford.

 

[Gallagbi]

Gotta say, Rielly has been the most disappointing Leaf for me this year. He's just lost our there and losing every battle. He took some big steps the past two years, let's hope he figures it out soon

 

[Carltons Cup]

Thank God I bought cheap nose bleed seats for this game. That period was a shyte show.

The undisciplined penalties killed us. Our PK is brutal. Caps entering the zone way too easy.

I hope the 3rd period is better.

 

[thewave]

Let the trades begin! Will be a great new Era after Dubas is gone and we get a new PM. Hope again! No Drama

 

[frizzer1]

When they announced that Babcock was coming back this year I felt that they would be spinning their wheels until he was fired.
And it sure looks like that to me now.

 

[The Apologist]

Who here thinks we are a top ten team?

I do.
Easily.

 

[ORRFForever]

And together they cost 20 mil!

Teams have realized quickly that if you hit both, they will disappear.

This team needs some size... FAST!

 

[Dave92]

Only since the Lightning game sadly enough.

Don't forget the collapse vs Montreal.

Yes.

for sure.

it's absolutely Babcock's fault our stars are playing like hot garbage.

absolutely for sure.

I don't. In fact I might be in a minority position but I think this years Leafs are a worse team than last years team.

Agreed. We usually play great when losing. I believe we can definitely tie it up but everyone has to step up.

 

[Puckstuff]

Not concerned about back up goalie but this team lacks:

- a top 5 MVP type player that can take over a game every night (Prime Kane,McDavid,Malkin, Crosby, Kucherov type) Matthews/Marner just not there yet.
- No elite RHD on the top pair. (Pitreangelo or Parayko type)

We have a very, very good team, but sometimes the enemy of great is good
