GDT: The Edmonton Oilers visit your Toronto Maple Leafs for HNIC.

Your eye test is working!

Generally does

 

[zeke]

you mean those high danger corsi forced isn't that high danger?

Yeah what we need is more point shots. That's where the high danger chances come from.

 

[Racer88]

10-4 SOG.

Locked them down really well.

Agreed but you would think with all that fire power they could have at least 1 goal

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Let me guess......we're way ahead based on what Excel expected?

I'm sure if the Leafs were the team that got badly outplayed, you'd be very happy to complain about that

 

[fahad203]

You can't hit what you can't catch.

Try and miss. Let him know it won't be a free lane

 

[Super Mega]

need to put Nylander on 1st line for a shooter

Far more valuable than say..... "feelings".

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Yeah what we need is more point shots. That's where the high danger chances come from.

Against Andersen? I agree

 

[Wafflewhipper]

That period was well played. More chances and no risky plays. Everything getting plugged through-the neutral zone

 

[zeke]

Generally does

The stats agree with your eye test that saw the leafs dominate that period.

They will start going in. It's not a concern.

 

[MattySnipes]

Try and miss. Let him know it won't be a free lane

Maybe if they meet in playoffs?

Dont see the Leafs playing like that. Tbh.

I agree with you though. They should be trying to hit him.

I've seen Petry do it to him (he missed him by a fraction of an inch), and he disappeared all game.

 

[egd27]

With Matthews hurt, this team doesn’t have much ability to score. So they have to play tight defense with good goaltending and wait for a break.

That makes sense, but they haven't changed their approach to the game one bit IMO.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

The stats agree with your eye test that saw the leafs dominate that period.

Seems the McDavid line dominates when they're on the ice... then the Oilers are on their heels 3 shifts in a row. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Menzinger]

Good period for the most part

 

[Gallagbi]

Craig Simpson is right. The blue liners on the point need to be utilized better by the attack so we aren’t just creating a traffic jam in the high slot.

Need them to stay out of the piles and start putting hard pucks on net instead of floaters for defenders to step infront of.

Basically they need to start shooting to score.

 

[PromisedLand]

Yeah what we need is more point shots. That's where the high danger chances come from.

so are you finally coming around that HDCF% is not really that useful without proper context? like that 1st period leafs had?

 

[On-the-Fly]

Gotta think 12 gets his look with 50 soon.

Bourne says Keefe likes to get a good look at different combinations to see what hes got up his sleeve and youve got to think he sees 12 on the 4th more likely than the 1st long run, no?

 

[forecheck]

When is Sportsnet Contract up - They are terrible and getting worst !

 

[Teeder Keon]

Boring game

I like boring when the other team has” O “

 

[zeke]

Seems the McDavid line dominates when they're on the ice... then the Oilers are on their heels 3 shifts in a row. Rinse and repeat.

Mcdrai had one good shift, but were hemmed in their own zone the rest.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Try and miss. Let him know it won't be a free lane

If a defenseman keeps letting mcdavid past him, it is a free lane

 

[Gallagbi]

so are you finally coming around that HDCF% is not really that useful without proper context? like that 1st period leafs had?

How many HDCF did you count? How about the stats?

 

[McSnypsky]

need to put Nylander on 1st line for a shooter

yeah I'd like to see that for at least a little bit

 

[Stephen]

Need them to stay out of the piles and start putting hard pucks on net instead of floaters for defenders to step infront of.

Yeah, and a little dynamism. Walk the line. Open up some lanes, throw the puck around, blueline QB stuff.
