GDT: The Annoyed Edition | HNIC - Leafs Vs Oilers | 7 p.m. EST

[Racer88]

The team played decent but absolutely garbage goal tending

 

[Confucius]

Had to miss most of the first. Murray shouldn't be in net Samsonov earned it.

Woll should be the backup

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

I dunno wtf all this talk about the Leafs getting tougher at the deadline was all about. This team plays soft as shit. Take away Schenn there’s no one on that team that strikes the slightest fear of playing against for the opponents

You really think Tampa is afraid of a guy they scratched in every game of the finals the last time they won the cup?

 

[leafsfan5]

honestly a really good first for the leafs, dominated play and generated chances

Too bad Murray was a sieve

 

[Macallan18]

Ok that sucked

 

[9Iron]

Name one credible coach EVER who has employed this stupid rotating defence pairings with a game? Make a f'n decision Keefe.

 

[Leafs87]

You really think Tampa is afraid of a guy they scratched in every game of the finals the last time they won the cup?

I think a lot of players on Tampa would be

 

[DarkKnight]

No points to show for it yet but Matthews was the best player on the ice in the first period

Absolutely, lots of jam, great use of his body and making things happen.

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

I love how viewers say "Just hit him" lol. You don't think everyone in the league would like to hit him if they could.

They chase him rather than anticipate where he is going and go there to meet him.

 

[Antropovsky]

Best player in the game finishing hits... jeesh. Naa we don't care that our best players never do that.

 

[PromisedLand]

Two oilers on Matty and Marner at all times.

Clearly oilers coaching staff has had a game plan. They said let kerfoot roam free he doesn't matter

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Definitely not going to stick around this intermission to listen to Sportsnet slobber over the Oilers.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

It is becoming blatantly obvious that our best chance of success is stapling Liljegren with Rielly. Like we need Rielly to be better to have success long term. Playing Rielly with Holl or Gus is basically just setting him up to continue to get caved in. Put the man in a position to succeed please Keefe.

 

[Macallan18]

These Coke adds are so f***ing lame

 

[Phion Keneuf]

11F, 7D and Murray. What a f***ing combo

 

[rocketman588]

something tells me McDavid was motivated by Matthews well deserved award wins last year. He's shifted to anothern level somehow. Have to respect his hunger and his skill.

The great ones are motivated by little bullshit like that

Our guy unfortunately seems to be motivated by weird shit

 

[wingman75]

Thought we played really good that period and carried most of the play.

First goal against has to be stopped. No traffic, no tip, no excuse.

Second was was a bad bounce off Gio, though Murray was caught that doesn't go in if Gio doesn't put it in.

I still dislike 11-7 very much.

 

[glue]

Oilers played well defensively, I give them credit they looked good. In fact they had better defensive coverage than us. That said the difference that period was Matt Murray being garbage

 

[Stonehands 1]

We ruled that period, lets hope our goalstanding stands the rest of the game

 

[frizzer1]

Keefe is going to scratch Liljegren for Holl in the playoffs.
Hopefully it will be his last decision as leafs’ head coach.

 

[Racer88]

11F, 7D and Murray. What a f***ing combo

Ya this team has been downhill since the trade deadline

 

[rocketman588]

Name one credible coach EVER who has employed this stupid rotating defence pairings with a game? Make a f'n decision Keefe.

He's basically going 11-7 because he loves holl at this point. Dude has two goals against in 7 shifts

 

[Griffin76]

Does the sign on his front lawn say the Kerfoots? Or Kerfeet?

 

[Macallan18]

Definitely not going to stick around this intermission to listen to Sportsnet slobber over the Oilers.

Go get some snacks, toilet break, refill the whiskey, kiss the wife goodnight, walk the dog, change the kitty litter, whatever

 

[All Mod Cons]

Engaged Matthews looks.
