GDT: Panthers @ Leafs. Game 1 Tuesday 7pm.

[fahad203]

Keep playing the game. We had many opportunities
We'll get them

 

[Gallagbi]

Need to keep pressing, an obviously big period and were still in it

 

[joepeps]

Knies reminds me of so much of dare I say Matthews
Doesn't have the shot or skating but that style of play

More like JVR

 

[CincoHolio]

Eakins offers nothing

 

[keonsbitterness]

They wanted to stay away from NBA on Saturday.

Owner has a horse in the Kentucky Derby, so the league bowed down to his wishes.

 

[Anthrax442]

Can someone put Ron McLean out to pasture already?

 

[Wendelstache]

Wow plus minus. The stat of all stats

how about on for 14/18 goals against. that's a f***ing stat.

 

[Mess]

You have to love the style of play and entertainment value so far in this series.

 

[TorMapleJays]

Keith?

Wow plus minus. The stat of all stats

I actually weight that stat heavily.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

I feel like I'm being gaslighted into believing Liljegren is bad. He's been completely fine and is a +1 tonight. I don't know why people are so focused on someone who hasn't been at fault for any goals against.

McCabe Brodie Gio all worse tonight.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Don't know why they chose to blame McCabe on the 3rf goal, McCabe did his job.

Acciari turned the puck over, that's his fault or potentially Brodie but NOT McCabe.

You want to blame the D blame Rielly on the 2nd goal.

All he had to do was skate over and get it and he chose not to.

 

[1specter]

He's been ok and I have no problem with that. People seem to already be forgetting how Holl has played so far. It's not like Liljegren has been playing a lot of hockey lately either.

Exactly. A guy who isn't on the ice for any goals against vs a dude who was outscored 14-2 in 5 games. Like come on

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Leafs need to slow the game down. Florida will give us opportunities to score. Don’t need to be so risky that we have four men deep.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Doesnt feel like a playoff game….feels more regulation season game. So open.

That's how the last series went in the first two games.

 

[JadedLeaf]

I hate Holl. But I want to win. So can be mature and admit he plays better D than Lil

Does he though? 14 of 18 goals against is brutal.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

I feel like I'm being gaslighted into believing Liljegren is bad. He's been completely fine and is a +1 tonight. I don't know why people are so focused on someone who hasn't been at fault for any goals against.

Lol I feel like I'm not watching the same game as those people. Lily had a moment where he fell down ( nothing happened) and then a bounce off his stick near the boards (nothing happened). Other than that, he has done what they've asked him. Looks way better than some of our D in the offensive zone

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Wow plus minus. The stat of all stats

I mean... it's better than -7

Sure +/- is often a meme but there's a point where it's so lopsided you gotta wonder.

 

[fahad203]

Eakins offers nothing

Night and day compare to Lalonde

 

[3blizzard4]

Against TB throw everything on net.

Against Florida let’s play hot potato.

 

[keonsbitterness]

The outrageous takes are back lol

Duh! That's partly why I'm here.

 

[sxvnert]

Cant beleive we need to listen to Jennifer again for an entire series + eakins.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

McCabe finally burned on his many illadvised pinches this game.

 

[Future]

He's had some bad decision-making, I'm not going back and rewatching... he's who I've noticed most often making bad plays for the D.

Great rebuttal, man.

I’m seeing crisp breakout passes, good transition defence, and smart pinches. His skating has been a great compliment to an aging Gio.

 

[LeafsandSharksfan]

I mean the Panthers are playing with fire if they want to open this up, I think the longer if continues ultimately it will lead to Leaf wins.

 

[New User Name]

Sorry, but had to respond to the third or fourth Willy is terrible comment . . .

He's been AMAZING.
Skating great, entries with ease . . . and amazing passes.

Just hasn't worked out yet; will happen soon if it continues, mark my words.
Don't be a Debby DOWNER, everyone hates a wet blanket.

(specially one that's blind)

I know your post was a response to someone else. But I said I was disappointed with what I've seen from Nylander too. Just seems he's not putting as much effort into it tonight. And I am a big Nylander fan.
