Low Effort GDT Ottberia Senators vs Leafs

[senswon]

If he wants to be 3LD, Kleven will have to show more than he has so far tonight.

I think he's been more concerned about getting walked by a superior leafs lineup
Let him get his timing and he'll get somebody on the tracks

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Everyone is playing well it seems but these guys a little more so I’d say:
Jenik
Yakemchuk
Chabot
Halliday
Crooker

Pinto's been solid, so has Bath.

 

[RAFI BOMB]

It is early but I am noticing signs of fatigue in Halliday. I think like Green said about the 4 day mark of camp that some guys drop off. I see some things in Halliday both in this game and the intrasquad game that suggest to me that he needs some more physical maturing before being able to jump to the NHL in a full time role.

Also based on the intrasquad game and this game so far I think Crookshank is going to start falling down the depth chart.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Honestly, I think our forward group will be fine no matter who makes the team. Our 3rd pairing though scares the shit out of me.

 

[senswon]

Yeah defense has been nice to watch. I'm continually shocked not seeing the d pinching constantly to keep pucks in and getting caught

Agree his foot speed needs some work.
Hands and vision are there

Nice to see a system beyond working hard?

I’m wondering what kind of style or identity that Green wants for the 4th line. Does he want an energy line like some/many coaches do? Or, does he want something else? That will have a bearing on who makes the cut.

Please give me a Vermette-Kelly-Eaves style line.

 

[PatrickEaves]

It feels so weird seeing a #6 on defense that doesn't shoot left.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Second time chabots stick has gone flying out of his hands. Chabot also looks hurt

Nice.

I don't think his wrist is 100% like he said.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I don't think his wrist is 100% like he said.

Then he shouldn’t be playing.

 

[Big Muddy]

That puck got deflected.

Soogard hasn’t faced a lot of shots so far.

The F group on the Leafs goal did not look very good in our own zone.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Then he shouldn’t be playing.

I don't think it'll ever be 100%.

DJ kinda destroyed his body by overplaying him when we were rebuilding.

 

[Relapsing]

Leafs fans already counting that against Matthew's season goal total

 

[ThreeMs]

Sogaard in mid season form already

 

[PatrickEaves]

Eh. Most of them won't make the team. At least there are options. We don't really have many options for the 3rd pairing.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

You can't contain that much offensive power for long with an AHL roster.

 

[Cosmix]

So now the game is tied 3-3.

 

[senswon]

Soogard prob shoulfa let that puck go into the corner...chabby woulda got it easier.

Oh well

A player needs to be able to check to play in a bottom six role. They need to understand stick placement to take away passing and shooting lanes in the defensive zone and passing lanes in the offensive zone. If a player can't do that effectively then there isn't a role in the bottom six for them.

Leevi is our 3rd best goaltender.
