GDT: Our Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Buffalo Sabres, March 2, 2022

[2 Slick]

Our team has been winning games over the last two months because they’ve been out scoring their problems. Their goaltending is probably one of the worst in the entire NHL. Statistically they have been the worst since December 1st.

They played a pretty good game against Detroit, scored 10 goals and still give up seven. Our goaltending is trash. We already know our defence sucks, but our goaltending is even worse.

 

[Gallagbi]

Clearing in front of the net had nothing to do with playing RD or LD, you can’t be outmuscled the way Sandin is being in this game.

He's been outmuscled once for a goal (and even then looked to be pulling off for thr pass) and he's not going to continually win battles. He's found ways to be effective all year. I don't think it's a coincidence that the worst game we've seen him play is on his off wing. Even if he will lose a battle or position from time to time.

 

[saffronleaf]

we have an embarrassing game once a week.

even the bottom of the barrel teams get up and play us like its game 7.

terrible.

and sadly the Leafs respond like its game 7

 

[Ashdown2]

people blaming the goalie tonight just didnt watch the game ...... full stop

everyone except the third line played line total garbage.


honestly the D pairings today caused so much confusions and bad passes all f***en night.. everytime the pinned themselves in the dzone.

 

[Teeder Keon]

The whole team. Not a single guy except maybe Mikheyev stood out as giving a f*** tonight

I thought the same and that’s even stretching it

 

[therealkoho]

Preferably the break away goal, awful play from Sandin but you're team desperately needs a save there, the goals might not be on Mrazek tonight, but the numbers (4 on 19) still isn't good enough.

Breakaway should've been stopped no doubt the other 3 are like most of the goals that have been leaking in, just bizarre WTF kind of goals. Which makes it 3 for 18 which really doesn't tell the story.

I'm LeafsNation all the way and have been for 60 years and I've never seen this kind of run of pure shite luck.

 

[ULF_55]

This was a team effort.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Usually when you don't notice a defensive D it's a good thing. But Holl is quietly having one of his worst games of his life.

 

[supermann_98]

I really think Tavares may be cooked. He just looks terrible. Nylander is lazy and kerfoot is a 3rd liner. We also have the worst goaltending possibly in the NHL. I'm expecting nothing come the post season.

I hate that I'm agreeing with this but I cannot argue with a single thing in your post

 

[HolyCrap]

Dubas has to find a starter and backup the way this tandem is playing. Not to mention other pieces. Mind you the entire team has been equally shitty tonight

 

[Gabriel426]

Robertson is pretty good when he actually on the ice.
Just need to chalk it up as another game in the regular season.

It’s not either <> or: it’s both.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Robertson benched. Keefe hates him.

it literally makes no sense to even dress him on that line. Setting him up to fail.

 

[djdev]

Someone call the Raptors....at least they play well in front of their fans.

lol no they dont, not this year at least. our home record is 17 - 13, our away record is 17 - 14

 

[Sniper99]

Imagine paying for tickets to this game sheesh

A few thousand people will be looking to book appointments with their financial advisers after purchasing these tickets.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Sports can be so weird
How can an entire team not show up ?

 

[Griffin76]

Hit the f$^kin net

 

[Stephen]

Robertson benched. Keefe hates him.

I’m not sure why they called him up so quickly but it seems like beyond effort level there’s a lot he has to figure out at the NHL. All he does is chase the play and when he gets the puck he has nowhere to go.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Robertson benched. Keefe hates him.

Keefe is actually pissing me off with his personnel decisions lately.

 

[saffronleaf]

He won't waive his no trade to join Toronto. A playoff veteran like him knows this team just doesn't have "it".

well I'd wanna get that confirmed from him at least. I'd inquire if I was Dubas. I think Toronto is a pretty attractive destination.

But if not him then idk, Varlomov I guess? Need someone.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Kerfoot has lost the puck every single time tonight bar none

 

[Maplebeasts]

When has he ever had the puck? Simmonds and Spezza can't even make a pass right now.

 

[Aashir]

Trying to think of a single player on the team who came.close to a decent game so far. Maybe Engvall who at least got a couple decent scoring chances earlier. The top two lines tonight have been awful

I’d say mikheyev, and engvall stand out

they attempted, and had a few chances

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

I guess it was worth throwing 2 points away just to verify that playing two of your top four D on the wrong side is a bad idea.

 

[Teeder Keon]

This game should be free admission and paid by the players
