GDT: Sens at Leafs 7:00pm on CBC/SNO Sat, Oct 16th

I still think they need to get Mitch and Tavares back together long term. And Willie back with Auston when he returns.

either or works

 

[Griffin76]

Matthews Marner Nylander kapanen Jonsson JVR Hyman Brown

Young, fast, skilled.
What the heck happened?

30 million was only enough to keep 3 of them.

 

[Nineteen67]

Ottawa is giving Marner's shot ZERO respect.

I thought he worked on that???

 

[LastOne2100]

Agree with all these comments.

This team is slower than previous years too.

With Dubas' horrible cap mismanagement, we'd had no choice but to get worse every year.

 

[Gabriel426]

Agreed. I think this is currently our biggest problem.

No depth scoring.

If anything it is actually JT and MM along with whoever they are playing with thats not scoring.
The depth has been scoring each games.

 

[djdev]

Agreed. I think this is currently our biggest problem.

No depth scoring.

outside of willy, the only goals this team has scored this year has been by our depth lol

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

So when Marner shoots it’s bad
When he passes it’s also bad??

make up your minds

Well it isn't like people want him to either always shoot or always pass. He has to read the situation and make the right play. Making the pass that everyone knew was coming wasn't it

 

[glue]

Agreed. I think this is currently our biggest problem.

No depth scoring.

I think it goes beyond depth scoring even, Marner can’t finish well often enough and JT’s finishing ability seems to be deteriorating

 

[Morgs]

So when Marner shoots it’s bad
When he passes it’s also bad??

make up your minds

Him shooting is fine, him missing the net on virtually every shot is not. Him passing when the lanes were closed and they gave him a clear path to the net is what the joke is.

 

[Nineteen67]

So when Marner shoots it’s bad
When he passes it’s also bad??

make up your minds

If only he could shoot at the level of an average NHL player

 

[Morgs]

Damn Mitchy, having a game but are stuck with the Tavares curse.

 

[93gilmour93]

Forsberg is robbing Tavares and Marner all night ffs. So many chances

 

[TMLeafer]

Nice move Marner.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Definitely not for lack of chances

 

[2 Slick]

Making a 3rd stringer look like a Vezina trophy candidate, 11 million dollar players on this team are good at doing nothing.

 

[Dave92]

Marner is a 5 million dollar winger. A winger who can't score 30 is never worth more.

 

[therealkoho]

Snake bit call St Pat now

 

[socko]

Well it isn't like people want him to either always shoot or always pass. He has to read the situation and make the right play. Making the pass that everyone knew was coming wasn't it

I definitely think you pass. On a 3 on 1 you generally want at least 2 passes to really get the goalie out of position.

 

[Azazel]

Dermott!!

 

[LeafsFan89]

First period I have seen all season this year. The Leafs seem to give more of a crap.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Dermott! Nice work

 

[hamzarocks]

Dermott's always been great at diving and stopping the pass on 2 on 1s

 

[mikeyz]

Who were those posters telling me in a thread a week or so ago that Marner would be a PPG player if he was playing for Buffalo? Lol.

 

[Azazel]

Simmonds is hungry hehe

 

[Dangles McGavin]

Good points. I'm considering what this team looks like on paper once Matthews is back.

Marner and Tavares will be fine once they aren't matched up against other teams' best.

Edit: tried multi-quoting lol. Context was my opinion that our biggest issue is depth scoring.
