GDT: Preseason Game 3 - Laval Rocket+ vs Leafs 7PM EST Sportsnet & RDS

I’ve never heard Dvo talk…. Interesting

He talks!

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

Not sure you're on the same thread as me. I would think we are getting molested tonight.

 

[Deebs]

Meh, this is just one of those nights where our propsects get roughed-up by a stronger opponent and show nerves fighting for a potential spot.

And then after getting dominated in basically all facets of the game early-on they try to do something, anything, which means they play a bit more loose and recklesslly.

And that, paired with just crisper play on the Leafs part vs. our Canadiens just exacerbates the whole problem and makes our younguns look worse than they actually are.

Yeah, I would have wanted to see more positive from some players out there, including Joshua Roy, Beck, and Kapanen. But it is what it is, and we should take the good with the bad.

For sure. Most of these guys are gone after tonight and then we get serious. All good

I’ve never heard Dvo talk…. Interesting

Yoo I've never seen him smile.. Something's wrong with him for real.

 

[Hacketts]

I want to believe in Newhook in the top 6, but just have that feeling It's going to be musical chairs for a bit on that 2nd line.

Demidov...the ultimate silver lining.

 

[The Real Timo]

I'm not sure what people thought was going to happen, Dvorak is our #1 line centre xD

There were times where this would be true in a regular season.

I’ve never heard Dvo talk…. Interesting

I find a lot of people thought he was mute or something lol

 

[Rapala]

Berube has done a good job getting his top line out against our three 4th lines.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Dobes and Hutson probably our best players tonight. Our forwards can't really get much going offensively, but Beck and Newhook seem to be trying the hardest.

pezz and tuch have been good and physical

 

[Tyson]

The pace has picked up...time to see who can get it done and who needs more time.

 

[morhilane]

I thought the 2nd looked a bit better than the 1st, except for all the burning pond-hockey stuff.

 

[Riddick412]

Always sucks to lose to the laughs, but I'd be more heart broken if it was the Habs losing...

 

[dinodebino]

Hutson will be a headache for Robidas and St. Louis to coach. Always wants to go forward, thank god Therrien ain't the coach anymore with

Yeah, and I know fans love this. But in the NHL, it ain't the way to play all the time. You just can't do that all the time, every time. It screws up the systems (or the concepts) and it certainly destabilizes even his teammates. Hockey at that level is all about automatisms. When you have a player like Hudson who free wheels ALL THE TIME, it warps alot of concepts and systematic plays. Not sure he will be able to do that all the time at the pro level.

I know that it's not a popular opinion here, but I'm not convinced yet. He's exciting for sure. But in team concepts, not convinced yet.

 

[sampollock]

Kypreos still blowz.

What does he mean that management has to fix up the right wing there's too many guys too expensive
Whats he yaking about

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

Berube has done a good job getting his top line out against our three 4th lines.

He’s the best coach for the Leafs as Sportsnet will amplify his constant whining.

Dvo smile on this inside.

I know.

win the Jack Adams for sure

I want to see some of the young guys throw some weight around in this third period

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

He's doing just fine where he is

They are going to trade him if they can get a good offer.

 

[dinodebino]

I'm happy about this result. Kids are kids. And there aren't many vets in there. Arber ain't a vet.

 

[Essenege]

Easton Cowan is legit. Unfortunately Leafs got a better player than we did in that draft. Unacceptable. 2022 and 2024 will make up for it, but still…

 

[sampollock]

kipper put the pressure on Canadians management
I bet Kent is just worried now

 

[Habby4Life]

Xhekaj is overrated...

Even his fighting is overrated.

 

[Tyson]

Here is how it works out with Kapanen...
Dvorak keeps his spot, Kapanen to the SHL and Beck to Laval as the 1st call up. I am probably wrong.
