GDT: St Louis @ Toronto - 7pm - TSN

[Aashir Mallik]

Id bench Matthews, he’s been the worst player I’ve seen


Make a save too

 

[thewave]

Woll kills us

 

[ashs]

Why is Tanev with McCabe

 

[fahad203]

Needed a save there from Woll

We got 3 good ones before that
That was a severe defensive lapse

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

Tanev is not fully to blame there, but I feel like he's positionally been terrible this game.

He has really been inconsistent... that goal was a bad pass by Woll and then McCabe and Matthews just got clowned on down low. Not good.

 

[Racer88]

Not that I really believe it's on a coach to get players ready for a game, pro athletes should be capable of doing that, but the majority of fans said that Keefe was a horrible coach because he couldn't get them up for games or start on time.

Perhaps that shouldn't have fallen on his shoulders

Ya. It’s starting to look like it’s the players after all. they are just not good enough of a team

 

[Blanka]

Facking Caillou

 

[Smif]

Is that the great defensive Marner that just got scored on.

What in the world did Marner do wrong there??

 

[MSZ]

The whole first line should be benched for the night.

 

[DarkKnight]

Matthews was Berubed.

Both things can be true that Keefe didn't do his job as well as he could have and these guys are just the wrong stuff. I'd also say there were some developmental years there where having a rookie coach wasn't the right thing.

 

[McSnypsky]

Matts really thinking he has to score every shift, he's not doing the little things that make him good defensively

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

bench the tin man

 

[authentic]

Ya. It’s starting to look like it’s the players after all. they are just not good enough of a team

Haha just realizing this now?

 

[DarkKnight]

What in the world did Marner do wrong there??

Existing for some. Embarrassing.

 

[Craig Button]

Matthews holds Marner back

 

[Racer88]

This place is gonna be saucy soon

I’m just hanging around to hear that according to the fancy stats we are kicking their asses

 

[BallardEra]

Matthews, I'm on a 6 game heater with my Tim Hortons hockey picks.

Please score so I can get free coffee for a week.

 

[JamieG19]

Matthews has been awful defensively. All this hype and garbage about how tough Berube is , what a joke. The true test is how he treats Matthews and Marner. Nothing has changed , just a bunch of hype and ppl giving Berube credit for stuff he hasn’t done

 

[horner]

To do this to your coach against old team unexebtable

 

[Stephen]

The whole first line should be benched for the night.

Benching Captain Auston Matthews tonight would be an interesting way to send a message. Atrocious defensive work for 3 goals against, a bad screen for goal 1, disconnected controller on a 4th liner in the slot for goal 2 and some major board work malfunction with McCabe for goal 3. For the new coach playing against his old team.

 

[ULF_55]

Matthews again with the minus.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

2nd period and no live thread is crazy

So does that mean this is a dead thread? I'm gonna go shave.

 

[fahad203]

That was a filthy pass by Tavares. Just absolutely nifty

Woll is the only reason why we are even in this game so far

 

[IronHookem]

We are 8 games in, and Benoit has already caused ANOTHER breakaway trying to slapshot the puck. Just stop trying, you cant score for shit.
