GDT: Sabres at Leafs 5:00pm

[93gilmour93]

this team is going to miss the playoffs.

Matthews doesn’t really set a strong or consistent tone. At this stage of his career he isn’t really captain material.

The most disappointing thing to me is where is his swagger this year? Last year we had so many moments of him like when he was howling during a Reaves fight or other things when he is killing it.

Just looks like he is not having any fun and hates hockey

lol and blaming the goalie is classic

We have 1 goal on a .870 goaltender and it’s our goalies fault

Two things can be true. Yes you are right that we can't score
And yes it's true that they scored rather easily

We played last night, we could use some saves to get our legs going.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

So is it safe to assume that unless we get lights out of goaltending, we're either going to barely eek out a win or get spanked?

Basically yeah. We are entirely dependent on elite goaltending at this point.

 

[Leafs87]

We should give Arthur a shot in Stolarz is out long

 

[keonsbitterness]

What does everyone make of the drones popping up everywhere, and especially New Jersey?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Halfway through game and only one goal on the board again

Shocking.

Man our goalies can use some goals

We’ve scored 14 goals in our last 6 games and 2 periods

What the f*** is that

 

[93gilmour93]

And I think they hang out in the sky over New Jersey

 

[Leafidelity]

Beat clean on 3 shots. That can’t happen in the NHL

Dudes paid absurd amount of money.

He has barely caught any attentiin from fans and media

NYlander and domi (to an extent since he makes 3.75M as well) both arent bring called out either.

3 of our 5 key offensive players are heavily under delivering and we are acting like its fine

I don’t like his energy level and ice cold assassin vibe. You could see the uplift when he put in that effort to score the NJ OT winner and what it means for the team. But that Detroit goal he scored he was too cool for school and added no momentum shift for the Leafs.

 

[fahad203]

Man our goalies can use some goals

We’ve scored 14 goals in our last 6 games and 2 periods

What the f*** is that

That's bs thats what that is (meaning I agree with you)
Our goalies are the only reason why we have been in games

NJ we were totally dominated
Last night was an absolute disaster
Tonight looks the same

We have no goals off the rush at all it seems

14 goals last 6 games for team that has 4 players over 10 million

 

[Ciao]

NHL goalies need to stop unscreened shots.

I've been a big fan of Hildeby until this game, but I'm quickly losing confidence in him.

If he doesn’t have the reflexes to do this work you can't correct that. Either you have it or you don't.

It looks to me like he doesn't have it.

I see the Leafs are still great at playing slumpbuster for other teams.

 

[LeafsNet]

Every time this team has had an opportunity to take a commanding lead in the Atlantic, they squabble it.

This team just doesn’t have that IT factor in them. It’s not about the loss, it’s about the attitude. Go ahead and win tonight, but it would have been much better to win both games this weekend.

This season is mirroring every season for the past couple of seasons now.

.500 October
Amazing November
Bunch of Losses near Christmas and New Years in December and Early Jan
Recovery in February
.500 March/April

Finish third in the division and first round exit.

Rinse, repeat….

Just going to quote this again because I knew the Leafs would lose both games this weekend.

Guys enough with the Matthews bashing. He is obviously injured somehow, without a shadow of a doubt. Accuracy and explosiveness doesn't just disappear. He is off. Yet he is still point a game with 10 goals in 21, and playing in obvious discomfort.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Buffalo is scoring the next goal

 

[Mr_Fun]

Man our goalies can use some goals

We’ve scored 14 goals in our last 6 games and 2 periods

What the f*** is that

It's a combination of everyone for sure, but questionable goals really makes things worse.

Nicky Bobby

 

[Mr_Fun]

Nicky!

 

[Blanka]

That was nice. Great setup.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Max Domi is so good

 

[blue stick]

Nicky Bobby!!

 

[keonsbitterness]

Nascar Nicky Bobby!
