GDT: Tampa @ Toronto - Wednesday 7pm - SN

[Notsince67]

He is just showing how Teflon he is.

If you like the visiting teams Keefe will entertain you

He wanted to test his depth. That is why Marner ain't playing. He needs to learn the value of winning, not putting on an apron to bake cookies.

[Blanche Blanche]

On the replay, you could see the 4th line look to the bench looking to being taken off.

Theyre all like, Youre kidding right coach... its the top line coach....

 

[Burnie97]

Keefe pulls a Babcock by icing the 4th line vs 1st liners.

They're gud pros though. They were playing so well so he thought of some way he could f*** that.

 

[GrizzLeaf]

I don’t like how Keefe needlessly experiments with combinations when he could be building more continuity on lines and establish specialty roles. Like when he said he put the 4th line out vs Florida for information purposes. How about you just use your imagination and focus on stability instead.

Yeah. The panel even mentioned that at no time will we see the 4th out there against a top line, not by design.

It does nothing other than mess with everyone on the bench. They're all thinking about what it takes to win the game while wondering why the coach is throwing

Keefe might put three guys who have never played together before the first game of the playoffs.

 

[HolyCrap]

Can't believe Ryan Reaves out there versus Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point was something Keefe needed to see

Smart like a dump truck.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

GOLD

 

[Stephen]

Don’t see a scenario where Keefe needs to make a life or death situation in the playoffs whether Reaves should go out against the opposition’s very best and absolutely needs the intel.

Just assume you can’t get away with that high risk coaching move and use him when you need some energy and to thump some guys on the forecheck or handle a momentum swing.

 

[Antropovsky]

Leafs always look so disorganized...speeding around the ice but recklessly and seems to benefit the opponent more than the Leafs.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

These last 5 games, Keefe has been experimenting what this 4th line can do and who it can go up against, same with the Robertson - Holmberg - Knies line, he's trying to see if a line like that can handle bigger matchups if he plays them in the playoffs.

If he can't understand that the likes of Kampf and Reaves have no business going against good players without seeing them fail over and over, he's too stupid to be an NHL coach

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Well, at least Iron Resurrection is on. Restoration of great classic cars, and Amanda's tight tops.

Anyone who watches to knowswhatimean.

 

[GrizzLeaf]

I hope the check early on didnt scare him.

Tre better go in there and scare his viking arse

Not Tre's hob. That's Keefe's job.

Tre should have something to say to his coach, after the game

It’s just a high risk low reward coaching move and entirely implausible.

Experimenting there was dumb, there is no justifying it.

 

[Torontonian]

He can experiment all he wants but if at any point he throws the 4th line out against the opposing teams 1st in a playoff game with last change, he’s a total idiot.

100% agreed. I don't think he's THAT stupid to send out Reaves / Kampf / Dewar in game 5 in the playoffs to close out a game like he did against the Panthers.

 

[arso40]

Tavares is actually playing. Skating, battling and being engaged.

Nylanders been completely disinterested all game. Even on the pp he's been out of it. Not even reaching for pucks just a little farther away than usual.

he looks slow

 

[GrizzLeaf]

he looks slow

And yet he's been out skating Nylander. That says alot lol

 

[Blanche Blanche]

100% agreed. I don't think he's THAT stupid to send out Reaves / Kampf / Dewar in game 5 in the playoffs to close out a game like he did against the Panthers.

Team has been decent lately... but we all remember - Galaxy Brain Keefe...

He will do something like this sadly

 

[Mr_Fun]

All I can say to put a positive spin on Keefes dementia laden decision to play his 4th against the 1st is that least that experiment failed and we won't see him do that again. OTOH, I'm sure he's got more up his sleeve.

 

[Burnie97]

With some saves from Woll, no stupid penalties, and Leafs picking their spots... they can still win this one.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Alright here we go. Get a quick one

 

[yubbers]

Let's be honest..Keefe doesn't have an NHL job without Kyle hiring his buddy.

Sadly it's gonna take another year for management to see that for some reason. At least AMs locked up.

 

[saffronleaf]

would be nice to see matthews just score some goals. what's with this one goal here one goal there no goals there stuff. lets score some goals

 

[ULF_55]

Matthews needs 3 to beat Ovie?

Only reason to watch this collection.

Who cares if they even make it.
