GDT: Penguins vs Maple Leafs (Revenge game)

[The Big Swede13]

f*** Ritchie

 

[Nylanderthal]

Thicc nick can’t buy one

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Ritchie gotta score at some point

 

[Menzinger]

Good chance there

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

I don’t think Ritchie will score this year

 

[Macallan18]

Nick Ritchie shot! Worse stats at this point than Clarkson

 

[DopeyFish]

"what a play by ritchie"

uh what

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Wow nice pass by Marner there

 

[hockeynorth]

that was a sick chance

 

[Racer88]

Agreed. Sandin got walked pretty badly. Liljegren was out of position.. Matthews and Marner couldn’t even have done anything there

Or maybe they could have had possession of the puck and been in the other teams end…….isn’t that why we pay them all that money

uh what

That was a great pass by marner, but Ritchie really did nothing with it.. didn’t lift it off the ground at all. Pretty easy stop as a result

 

[The Kessel Run]

Nice look there by Mitch. A little more flow these last 2-3 shifts.

 

[Apex Predator]

As much as I dislike Ritchie on the first line seems like that guy can’t buy a goal the last few games.

 

[LeafGrief]

Marner creating two terrific scoring chances so far tonight. Love to see him being dynamic like this.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Simmonds could've had 2-3 breakaways already if he wasn't so slow lol

 

[The Kessel Run]

You're being willfully ignorant as to how actual hockey works.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Disagree. They've been unbelievable in their role.

Yeah it sucks they've had a bad shift and gave up a goal, but that happens to every single pairing. As long as they generate more than they give up (they do), it isn't worth worrying about every mistake

 

[Aashir]

Or maybe they could have had possession of the puck and been in the other teams end…….isn’t that why we pay them all that money

Or maybe the defencemen could’ve done their job. The things they do dozens of time per game.

I get that Matthews and Marner haven’t produced, but that play wasn’t a reason to be pissed at them. Our D should be better their

At best if they are absolutely dominating they will have the puck about 65% of the time. That is at their peak over a string of games.

Going up against Crosby/Rust/Guentzel, it will be closer to 50/50 with quality chances for both lines. We got burned there due to poor defense from a pair of young d-man. Got time to get it back

 

[Teeder Keon]

Will 47 ever take the puck to the net ?
Soft in every aspect of his game ,
Offensively and defensively and mentally in every situation
But he loves to turn into “fake tough guy “ after every contact from the opposition with cheap cross checks and slashes afterwards as they separate …
Teams with warrior mentalities in all positions are perennial cup contenders

 

[James Blackley]

Simmonds could've had 2-3 breakaways already if he wasn't so slow lol

He never used to be, but a serious hip injury will slow anyone down.

I hope he goes in a deal for a top 6 scoring winger.

C’mon tell us how you feel about Engvall

 

[glue]

Really don’t like Ritchie

 

[Burnie97]

Good shift build off that
