GDT: SCQF Game 2 | Leafs vs Habs - 5/22/21 @ 7:00pm EST

[Alerion]

Be nice if the young guns could show up because I love him but they aren't winning many games with Spezza as their best forward.

 

[HockeyVirus]

It would be nice if the $22.5 million duo on the first line made an appearance in this series and did what they're paid to do....

I remember Babcock saying in the playoffs, you need your depth to win the first few games. The longer it goes, the more impactful your stars are. I didn't agree but he's won a lot. I wonder how accurate that is.

 

[wingman75]

4th and 3rd lines easily our best. Did the 2nd even play? Matthews line was very non-impactful

Man, as skilled as Marner is... And as many points he gets, he is fckng useless so often.

My turd has a harder backhand than that.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Not a bad 1st period... prob the least physical period ive seen from any games in any series so far.... which i think is good from a leaf perspective... hopefully matthews/marner can find space and cash in

 

[Mitch nylander]

Great period.

 

[Gallagbi]

You'd think that blatant trip after a soft call would warrant a penalty, but I guess not

 

[Chief Berube]

I saw so many penalties that should have been called and the one you end up calling was the softest call I’ve ever seen in my life

 

[ER89]

marner has been trash as always i see. One good playoff game he's had.

 

[SeenSchenn2]

Spezza looks great. Marner with another quiet period.

 

[Azazel]

That ain’t game management,, pure incompetence called it on Danalts head movement incredible

They always call the Leafs for a soft call after a goal is scored by the Leafs. Has been happening all year almost without fail.

 

[Syed Ammad rizvi]

Brooks not coming in for Thornton could be the death of us in this series...

 

[On-the-Fly]

I hope it's just rust for Hyman

I hope its the 3rd line, if Im honest.

 

[mcleex]

Wish Perry blew out his knee there

 

[2 Slick]

They call an invisible holding penalty, but when Montreal blatantly tripped Toronto, it was ignored.

Yeah... okay.

 

[hamzarocks]

If marner doesn't produce this series is he any better than barzal/rantanen/aho/point

He needs to produce. His play rn is not good enough. The blame is to be shared.

Matthews hasn't been great and Hyman is killing plays right now as well

 

[Mess]

Best period of the series so far..

More tempo and more intensity then last game and more scoring opportunities.

 

[Thissiteisgarbage]

Anyone see Marner around??

 

[Stigma]

Why did Kotkaniemi hold four fingers in the air? Is that the amount of goals he scored this year?

 

[Maplebeasts]

Simmonds best leaf forward that period - maybe coach will find a way to play him more than 12 minutes this game ?

What were you watching? Spezza was miles better.

 

[Budz22]

I’m referring to nylander as 29 because he doesn’t deserve Patrick Kane’s number with how he’s playing

Oh dear

 

[Jojalu]

After 4 periods I can't say I dislike anything except for the PP and our inability to finish.

I see effort, attention to getting back on D, smart hits. JUST START TO FINISH.

 

[forecheck]

It would be nice if the $22.5 million duo on the first line made an appearance in this series and did what they're paid to do....

They dont get paid in the playoffs - so they dont really care .

 

[Pete2000]

When Spezza retires, I want him to remain in the Leafs organization.

 

[7even]

First line was awful again when the game matters most. Marner is awful in the playoffs especially.

The harder Marner tries the worse he looks. He's not playing his game.

 

[socko]

Playing utlra soft in front of our own net. Playing the puck and not the puck carrier. What happened to Muzzin? He's not worth much if he's going to play soft.
