GDT: The BwO Presents Leafs vs Preds: The Johnny Cash Edition - HNIC on SN / CBC, 7pm, Oct 28/23

[Macallan18]

Really don’t see what he’s bringing this year

Can’t win draws, isn’t playing on a real shutdown line so his defence isn’t being used and he is a black hole offensively

All true.

 

[Dave92]

Has Matthews already scored his goal for the week. I can't remember.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Leafs look like the much better team but goaltending is the equalizer

 

[Aashir]

It’s gonna be really tough to beat saros tonight I think

 

[Forecheck1]

Kampf brutal on the draw all year.

Defensive C with minimal oFFENSIVE ABILITIES and bad on the draws - Ya - 2.5 x 3 - WTF

 

[DarkKnight]

Really don’t see what he’s bringing this year

Can’t win draws, isn’t playing on a real shutdown line so his defence isn’t being used and he is a black hole offensively

And with Matthews emerging on the PK, he's less valuable there as well.

 

[Jojalu]

Smart shot by Rielly there. Great puck movement tonight all around

 

[saffronleaf]

Has Matthews already scored his goal for the week. I can't remember.

yes he got one against the caps

 

[Macallan18]

Trade Sammy, play the Zamboni driver as our backup

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Nashville's game plan is to double team Tavares apparently lol

 

[weems]

Good road period.
Controlled the play 5 on 5 and had some good scoring chances.
Sammy would like that ROR goal back.
Liljegren is starting to play better which is huge for our blueline.

 

[Leafs87]

I’m surprised at bertuzzi’s lack of skill.

It’s his confidence. That one foot pass to Nylander just makes it looks like he doesn’t want the puck to not make a mistake

 

[Griffin76]

Woll had no issues stopping those high danger chances though.

What does Woll have to do with it?

 

[Aashir]

Tavares nylander were amazing
Matthews Marner looking mediocre together, but pretty good on the pp

I think we are playing much better than Nashville

 

[Burnie97]

That's still a really solid road period. Keep it going Leafers.

 

[Macallan18]

Pee break

 

[saffronleaf]

It’s his confidence. That one foot pass to Nylander just makes it looks like he doesn’t want the puck to not make a mistake

i mean his play isn't really inspiring confidence

 

[francis246]

O'Reilly all alone 3ft in front of Samsonov and somehow it's Samsonov's fault. Unbelievable

Even if that’s the case Samsonov has to make that save. What good is a goalie who can never bail you out from time to time?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Decent enough period. Saros is a beast and beating him is going to be very difficult. Nashville shouldn’t have even been on the PP at the time of the O’Reilly goal but whatever.

 

[Forecheck1]

Good road period.
Controlled the play 5 on 5 and had some good scoring chances.
Sammy would like that ROR goal back.
Liljegren is starting to play better which is huge for our blueline.

WHY SO POSITIVE

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Missed the first, is the team playing good? How has Sammy looked?

 

[saffronleaf]

would like to see nylander and matthews score a couple

 

[Leafs87]

i mean his play isn't really inspiring confidence

I’ve honestly never followed him closely. I thought he had more bite and more of a skilled grinder game. He looks worse than bunting so far

 

[francis246]

Has Matthews already scored his goal for the week. I can't remember.

Yeah he scored in Dallas

 

[saffronleaf]

Missed the first, is the team playing good? How has Sammy looked?

team good but sammy let in a soft one
