GDT: Stanley Cup Playoffs | Round 1: Game 3 - Leafs @ Sens; Apr 24 7:00 p.m. EST

[The Management]

Considering all the time it feels like we've spent short-handed, tied isn't a bad place to be. But we need to see Matthews, Marner, or Nylander to actually... generate something offensively.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Really need Matty and Mitch to step up in the 3rd. Neither have been terrible but they haven't really stood out either.

 

[leafs in five]

I don't understand why you don't just let that possible offside go, if it results in a goal it will get reviewed anyway

 

[Mr_Fun]

That was me before my sex change.

What sex did you change to?

 

[ToneDog]

God Marner is awful this game

You are going to love him in round 2.

 

[kevsh]

Like the way they ended the period.

Now it's time for Matty & Mitch to earn their big money. Be the big boys and step up so the Leafs can put this game away.

 

[LastOne2100]

To be fair, he wasn't good last game either.

There's a difference between not good, and actively being awful.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Top line just out for a casual skate. Has Matthews or Marner generating a decent chance???

 

[fahad203]

Time for the other game. Back in 18 minutes.

You can last 18 mins?

wait, what are we talking about?

 

[BayStBullies]

Pretty good for being on the road, facing match fixing against you and having an opponent on the ropes. The Leafs will not get even up calls, neither will Stutzle diving and yelling each time he sees open ice ever get called. They need some positive bounces, catch Ulmark being playoff Ulmark.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Be a good time for Matthews to call game in the 3rd.

 

[Smif]

Win 20 mins and we get a strange hold on the series.

Strange or strangle hold?? Kind've a big difference

 

[Sypher04]

Gotta be honest I don't like the way this series has gone so far 5 on 5, especially against a team that is good but not elite. Not giving me a lot of confidence about the 2nd round if we get there. Does anyone think if we played this way against a team like Florida that series would go any different than it did a couple years ago?

We’ve won the 5 on 5 minutes that mattered.
This game has been more even, but games 1 and 2 were decidedly in control by us.

 

[MSZ]

Another playoff game where core 4 did absolutely nothing even strength. Well at least powerplay is still working for now, if that dries up too then it's golfing season.

 

[MCR74]

Pretty good for being on the road, facing match fixing against you and having an opponent on the ropes. The Leafs will not get even up calls, neither will Stutzle diving and yelling each time he sees open ice ever get called. They need some positive bounces, catch Ulmark being playoff Ulmark.

I predict more dives from Playoff Warrior and his mentor.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Yeah not a banner night so far for the core 4.

 

[Sypher04]

Strange or strangle hold?? Kind've a big difference

Ugh autocorrect is a real bitch.

 

[tuckerintensity]

I don't think so at all. A few misplays but he's drove play better than every Leaf.

I've no idea what people are watching. Yes, he took a bad penalty, but he hasn't been bad and he's been the one driving any offense on that line.

 

[BayStBullies]

Stutzle was made for figure skating. Jumping everywhere

Just wait until your favourite Sens fans whine that they missed those "penalties"

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Refs have imposed their will on this game. Knies is tripped before our goal, no penalty. He gets a penalty for cross checking but two Ottawa players were cross checking him and Matthews. Paccioretty dragged down but their Tzachuk and Stutzle’s diving were theatrical.

 

[stats1]

Marner at the of the end period there is the shit I hate about his game in the playoffs. Just get the puck to the net!!! He’s trying to dance around with the clock running and it ends up being an off side. Shoot the f***ing puck Mitch

 

[Smif]

I don't think so at all. A few misplays but he's drove play better than every Leaf.

I have been disappointed with Willy this series tbh. He should be the best pkayer on the ice imo.

 

[GoonieFace]

We get it, the reffing hasn’t been great, so let’s move on

 

[tuckerintensity]

Ugh autocorrect is a real bitch.

This has me remembering and laughing at the classic come off it, you stuck up bitch.

 

[Apex Predator]

Strong 3rd period! Let’s go boys!!
