GDT: Tampa @ Toronto - 7pm

[Racer88]

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.

I hope it’s a better response

 

[fahad203]

I would hope one of our guys will settle the score there.

We both know we are going to lose this game and we deserve to after that 5 on 3

But let's just give it to them. F the 2 points bs and raise hell

 

[TGB]

I don't really know hockey that well, so someone please explain to me...why is Engvall on the power play?

 

[Stephen]

"...for, for whatever reason, we just weren't sharp"

JT

Come on JT, your team is sharp like 50% of the time.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

It wouldn't matter if Dave Andreychuk was in front of the net, this team would just pass it around the outside until the Zamboni driver opened the doors.

And that my friend is the problem. Too focused on "advanced" possession stats and playing it safe instead of actually going to and getting the puck to the middle and scoring goals. Like, you might lose possession bro!

I'm sure the XGF was great though...

 

[hotpaws]

can we stop with the JT interviews already

 

[Bellefour20]

JT needs to do something with his hair. Looks bad every time he has his helmet off. I like it short.

 

[Morgs]

Idk why you guys want to split the PP. The issue isn't personnel (other than Rielly for Sandin, imo), it's the way it's run.

Even then, here is where they rank on the PP before tonight:

xGF/60 - 2nd
FF/60 - 2nd
GF/60 - 20th
SH% - 26th

That 5v3 was atrocious, but it's not like this team isn't getting the chances.

 

[djdev]

No point shot threat is the issue with the pp

100% the defense just sags off rielly, and his passes are all slow and telegraphed, even i know where hes going before he passes.

 

[Coachcorner]

I hope it’s a better response

Me too sire. >We can grow in this match tonight NOW LETS THUG THAT THANG UP!!!

 

[Gallagbi]

By who exactly ? I can see Simmonds hitting him but really he's a bit too slow

He's not gonna fight and Maroon and Hedman will protect him

It should be marner hitting him or undressing him. He's the one who has to respond

I'd be more than happy for Ritchie and Simmonds to start something on that 4th line and hope it builds.

 

[34]

Agreed. Tampa was the more dangerous team by far.
It will be interesting to see if they have any pushback in the 2nd.

Toronto missed the boat on trading Marner for Eichel. That trade should have happened. Makes no sense that Dubas was not beating down Buffalos door to make that trade. What a shame.

 

[DarkKnight]

Nobody wants to couch gate.

 

[PromisedLand]

Can we grow some f***ing balls and beat these pos both on the ice with knuckle sandwiches and on the score card

f*** tampa f***ing cheaters

Ritchie+Simmonds man up. go after their players like JT did

 

[fahad203]

I don't really know hockey that well, so someone please explain to me...why is Engvall on the power play?

You know well enough to ask the right questions

 

[Canadian Finn]

And that my friend is the problem. Too focused on "advanced" possession stats and playing it safe instead of actually going to and getting the puck to the middle and scoring goals. Like, you might lose possession bro!

I'm sure the XGF was great though...

not advanced, just alternate.

alternate stats - at best.

nothing advanced about them.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

lol morgan rielly hasnt had more than 3 pp goals in a season in his career, why is this guy considered a 1st PP quarterback??? i dont get it.

Like, possession stats dude!

If you can’t finish then who really cares, and before you ask, yea it is possible for this drought to last

 

[hamzarocks]

Muzzins defense on the goal is what Lilijgren haters think he does on the ice lool

That goal was just a joke. It was comical to watch how he defend Maroon there

 

[keonsbitterness]

can we stop with the JT interviews already

No.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Sergachev may want to stay in the back and pull himself from the game.

It will be better for his health. He’s a marked man the rest of the game.

As long as he avoids Simmonds, he has literally nothing to worry about. The rest couldn't punch their way out of a paper bag.

 

[Racer88]

Come on JT, your team is sharp like 50% of the time.

Your generous

 

[34]

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

Simple, they are way better players.

Yea because we have someone else right???
