GDT: Tampa @ Toronto - 7pm

How can Draisaitl and McDavid be better at running the Oilers PP than Matthews, Marner, Tavares and Nylander

What the f*** is wrong with these guys

Drai is willing to shoot while the Leafs is waiting for the other person to shoot.

 

[Twine Tickler]

Not a good 1st period. Far too pedestrian. Going to need to wipe that from the memory and move on. The game is very much still up for grabs.

 

[Coachcorner]

Nor exactly the statement game I was hoping for

wAIT until you see the dirty second period sire. You'll get what you want sire. The fights, the check ins by our THUGS. And also sesome gezoals by our squad I invested on this, so its guaranteed now sire.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

And the Ritchie experiment is over. He’s a one tool player, brings nothing but a body out front and is a liability everywhere else. Lazy, no passion, hard to like.

Agreed, what a plug.

 

[Cecithepylon]

I love how much we love and hate the leafs aha

Too many cooks in the kitchen?

 

[Nylander88]

I only want one thing from this game. Simmonds needs to put Sergachev on the injury list.

I don't wish injury on anyone. But a good ol' fashioned beatdown is in order. I think Wayner handles it

 

[ULF_55]

Marner passes are sooooo predictable on the PP, fact his shot is crap makes it even easier to stop.

Only room for marner or Rielly on the PP. Not both!!!

Self destructive tendencies.

May be one of the worst PP's I've witnessed ever for this team, mind you I'm only going back 60 years!

Yah I am not liking that putrid back check either. He needs to be press boxed.

 

[Aashir]

Pp should we fully retooled, it ain’t working, it wasn’t working before, and I ain’t working soon either

PP1
Ritchie
Spezza - Bunting - Marner
Rielly

Marner runs the unit, if he’s not working, Spezza runs the unit. Shots, tips, deflections, redirects whatever this is that unit

PP2
Simmonds
Tavares - Matthews - Nylander
Sandin

if Matthews isn’t gonna pass and when he does it looks like he shouldn’t, he needs to be a trigger man, play him bumper and have the other guys try and set him up for catch and release or 1Ts
Everyone else can play the role like they normally do

f***ing tired of this shit. We have 4 guys who should be able to run a pp alone with no coaching.

 

[TMLeafer]

Aren't headshots a reviewable play to determine if an infraction was a major or not? Or is it only if it was initially called a major. Ref was looking right at it.

 

[fahad203]

Nick Ritchie skating is David Clarkson bad.
My gosh, how the hell did this guy get to the NHL?

6'3 everyday

the part I don’t understand is this group has done it. Why can’t they find it anymore

 

[kb]

It wasn’t a clear cut breakaway. Hedman isn’t the only guy on the ice.

5 minutes for that head hit would have been more reasonable than a penalty shot.

IMO it should have been a Penalty Shot and a 5 min checking to the head major.

 

[Gallagbi]

I don't mind Cooper asking why Marner was on the ice. It's a fair complaint from the opposing coach.

That said, easy 5 and we should respond even if it's physically to that next period. Was nice to see JT respond

 

[Gabriel426]

That PP was horrible, but that should have been a penalty shot and a 5 minute major. Absolutely disgusting and dangerous hit.

Agree, but would Marner needs to be off the off due to concussion protocol if that’s the case? Who would take the penalty shot if that happens?

 

[The Big Swede13]

Can we get Spezza and Sandin on PP1 please

 

[B33R LEAGUE]

Im happy players don't take dives like in soccer.

But if Mitch lies on the ice for even 3 seconds, that suspension goes from 1 game to 3.

It was a bad hit, but DOPS needs to put less emphasis on the consequences of an egregious act and just give Serg 3 games.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Dave Poulin annoys me.

 

[djdev]

seriously we get traffic and front and all rielly ever does is fire slow, telegraphed passes off to the wings, the opposing team literally doesnt have to cover him since he wont shoot and they just collapse into a tiny box and deny all our fancy cross ice passes from stationary player to stationary player

 

[Morgs]

Lmao if Nurse or Morrissey make Canada, that's hilarious. I'd even bring Muzzin/Brodie before I'd bring Rielly.

 

[PanniniClaus]

That was a 5 on 3 "how to" video in the making. Very lucky the period ended for a reset as that kind of 5 on 3 can sink a team.

 

[ottomaddox]

No more boner power plays. Do better Leafs.

Go Leafs go

 

[shaner8989]

Utter trash. Nothing else can be said. That is just downright disgraceful.

My gosh, how the hell did this guy get to the NHL?

How the hell did he get the contract Dubas gave him? Oh right, it was Dubas.
