GDT: Tampa @ Toronto - 7pm

[Aashir]

Well....there is a lot more to this than what you are insinuating like how the Bolts had to go through a similar process, similar to how the capitals had to go through as well before they touched the holy grail. Not to mention with the changing of economics the money is a lot higher for upcoming players in general as the salaries of players increase, etc, etc. Hence Vasigod is paid more than stamkos, their captain.

Yes our big boys are not scoring atm, but they have been more awake than team.

I guess, but Tampa’s “struggles” weren’t beating bottom of the barrel “playoff” teams. They were losing in 2nd-3rd round. This team has a lot of time still, but our big boys have to start converting. 8 in 11 as a leader isn’t close to being good enough

Is it the goalie or is it his 5XL equipment ?

Careful now...we might just come off as complainers...oh wait..no matter what we say we always will. you right

 

[Gabriel426]

Honestly if the Leafs can play like this the rest of the season, they are going to win a lot more games than lose.

 

[Maplebeasts]

I'm not gonna be mad if we lose. The team is not playing bad. What I AM concerned about though is the lack of finish.

 

[PromisedLand]

When was the last time the Leafs scored on a point shot? Everytime a Leafs D shoot it gets blocked

the last d-man i can recall who can actually get the point shot through to the net was Gardiner

 

[hamzarocks]

Yeah, it's one of the dumbest posts I have ever read.

you say that about any post that doesn't suck off the leafs players or management.

Your as biased as they come

 

[LaPlante94]

The Marner - Tavares line has been putrid tonight after a few good nights in a row.

Didn't they only play 1 period together this game? He's been with Matthews for the 2nd period right?

 

[Sypher04]

So 4 in 8 is good huh

point out to me where I said that.

our lack of finish is due to our lack of finnish.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Aww shucks and yeap sleep-deprived in school and work did a lot of that

LR, you're like the son I had and then faked a blood test to get out of paying alimony.

 

[All Mod Cons]

God I miss Zach Hyman.

 

[Aashir]

point out to me where I said that.

I am asking a question. It’s yes or no, not that hard……

 

[Leaf Rocket]

It’s posts like this one that make me question why I still come on this site

You know what you have to do? Think about the times where people weren't around when we couldn't have a center to save our lives and then post something like this.

 

[Notsince67]

doesnt really require explanation. Matthews has played better than either Marner or Tavares tonight. And he’s not the reason the group of stars are underproducing as someone else erroneously claimed

Matthews has played like dogshit. The puck dies on his stick. Zero playmaking, holds the puck too long on the PP, shoots when he should pass. He isnt playing like he has any line mates.
Horrible.

 

[ULF_55]

Get Nylander on a line where he's the shooter.

Not sure if Kerfoot is good enough at center, but Nylander has to start taking his shot.

 

[Community]

I'm not going to harshly judge the team if they can't complete the comebacks like some posters will (because it's just one game), but this is the kind of game the Leafs need to figure out how to squeek out the win.

Not a lot of room for the top guys and they haven't been great, but the game is there for the taking.

 

[theTTC]

Is it the goalie or is it his 5XL equipment ?

I'm staring at that too - seriously, how's he getting away with it?

 

[Sypher04]

Do you have a preferred safe space?

has nothing to do with needing a safe space ass hat. I just get tired of reading the same bullshit after day

 

[Dreakmur]

Maybe we can get some opinions if Sergachev is even with Marner in this picture, and would have caught up to him because he is the far better skater.

Discuss.

Marner is about 15 feet ahead, and about 30 feet from the middle lane.

God I miss Zach Hyman.

honestly...bunting has made me realize how much we over valued hyman.

I'm gonna be mad if we lose because the Neanderthals will come out of their caves.

 

[DarkKnight]

We’re still in it anyways.

Horrible.

unfortunately true, he should be a lot better. Has been in the past.

Either fans can come out and say they are "Matthews fans", "Nylander fans", "Marner fans" etc, and that they won't take any criticisms of their favorite player even when their performance is off, or they need to stop defending these guys when they are playing poorly

Dion

Sure he would miss 200 of them per year but he would also put them on net

Man Oilers fans would laugh so hard in your face you’d fall over. Just stop.
