GDT: SCQF Game 1 | Leafs vs Habs - 5/20/21 @ 7:30pm - CBC, SN, TVAS

I just don't understand how you call that irrelevant Spezza penalty, but not the 5-6 blatant cross checks or hooks that have taken people out of the play sinxe

The Habs give out casual cross checks on every single engagement like candy on Halloween. I have no idea how they aren’t called for those. These guys are doing their best Bruins impression, wish one of our big boys would step up and send a message.

 

[Dave92]

Two 2 on 1's for Marner that period and no shots from them. He should really simplify his game a little in the playoffs

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Too many players are taking too long to shoot or make a play. Yeah I’m looking at you Marner.

You want muffin boy to shoot more

That is todays NHL

 

[MarMarSab3]

Nash and Thornton are Meh, Galchenyuk needs to get back in.

 

[Pi]

Marner is just pathetic in this game. Please put Nylander and Matthews together in the 3rd.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

I see Perry got over the guilt quickly and is back to causing shit.

 

[htpwn]

Engvall and Galchenyuk have to be in the lineup next game. Habs D are slow, we need to skate around them not try and grind them down.

Agreed. The bottom six is too slow right now with Spezza, Nash, Thornton, and Simmonds.

 

[Jojalu]

I counted 6 more hits for a total from the 17. They now have 19. WTF

I have always meant to mention this..

I always count more hits than the Leafs get credit for it.

I swear, if I knew what I was doing I could go over the tapes and find 30 extra hits alone from Nylander alone. Not bone jarring, but a hit nonetheless

 

[Mats13]

Not a bad period all things considered

But it would be nice if a forward not named Nylander, Matthews or Hyman actually did something

 

[keonsbitterness]

Senõr italiano?

He's a man of the entire world.

 

[socko]

I haven't noticed Nash at all. Has he played?

 

[scotian1]

Nash is nowhere near game ready.

 

[therealkoho]

What if somebody wrote a more inane commercial

 

[Pi]

Nash and Thornton are Meh, Galchenyuk needs to get back in.

Nash basically keeps it boring on the third line. I don't mind him.

Tavares injury should get Galchenyuk in and someone else should go out to get Nick Robertson in. We need more shooters on the PP. He played fine against Columbus in the playoffs. Time to get him in like Sandin.

 

[razkaz]

Leafs outplaying the habs. Continue the effort in the third and they should win this

 

[Anthrax442]

Why big bird talks so much

 

[robertmac43]

Looked like a much better team that period. The boys are settled in now, hopefully we can keep pushing here in the third!

 

[Mats13]

I wanna see one more person call Nylander an perimeter player

Being euro doesn’t make you soft

 

[RebuildYear5]

Marner is just pathetic in this game. Please put Nylander and Matthews together in the 3rd.

He's playing good, calm down!

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Knee linder

 

[Coachcorner]

Simmonds and nylund almost put us on board again...... we'll get it in the dirty third. I'm from that too.

 

[Notsince67]

Not a bad period all things considered

Tavares is in the hospital.

 

[Gallagbi]

Make up call, unfortunately... I wouldn't be surprised if the refs swallowed their whistles here on out.

Nothing to make up at that point, it's a tie game without a PPG

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

Nash and Thornton are Meh, Galchenyuk needs to get back in.

Nash hasn’t played in a long time, I think getting him back up to speed will be huge for us later in the playoffs if we get there
