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

[Mr Hockey]

Well yeah we've had all the pressure and they've converted on their rush chances while we've made a bit of a mess on ours.

hows that #1 doing? lol

 

[lottster14]

Patrick Kane over Drai.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

It's time to face facts Mattys elite snap shot is gone

hardly any zip on his shots

One of his shots was 94 MPH.

 

[IrishInOntario]

Every year before Matthews (lol) "nagging injury", he's right there with McDavid in goals/points.

I'm starting to think that every other star player often has "nagging injuries", but they play through it better.

McDavid has taken it to another level... He has left Auston in his dust.

 

[DarkKnight]

When you’re struggling to score, the remedy is to shoot shoot shoot then shoot. I throw everything at the net.

 

[Bellefour20]

You guys really do have the fortitude of a wet paper bag. Relax.

When was the last time the Leafs had offence, defence, and goaltending all clicking at the same time? When is it ok to show concern?

 

[The Beyonder]

You guys really do have the fortitude of a wet paper bag. Relax.

You're giving this board too much credit.

 

[Carltons Cup]

Since our offense has disappeared, the game is probably over tonight.

First place is overrated especially with empty stands. Just make the playoffs and we'll be ok.

 

[1specter]

I think Stipe's got 'er but Ngannou scares the hell out of me.

For sure. Having to face that man twice is a nightmare.

 

[MattySnipes]

Theirs are playing with Pulujarvi

Ours are playing with Thornton

Tbh I haven't even noticed Puljujarvi.

McDavid and Draisaitl just know how good they are and they're showing it.

Matthews, Marner, and Nylander have been poop. Luckily for them they have 1 more period.

Enough of this perimeter crap hockey and endless odd man rushes against filled with shit blind passes.

 

[TheRexman]

You guys really do have the fortitude of a wet paper bag. Relax.

It's frustrating, especially when they haven't looked like the team that shut down Edmonton 3 games in a row since those 3 games. I get the Matthews wrist injury. What happened to the rest of the team?

 

[saffronleaf]

I think teams have adjusted to the Leafs and nothing is working anymore. I think Toronto might not be good enough.

We simply cannot compete with McDavid and Draisaitl. There is nobody on our team that is even in their league.

 

[Teeder Keon]

One of those nights I guess

Too many of those nights in over 50 years

 

[IPS]

You know what gang ...
I very rarely get truly pissed off , I Iike to keep it light mostly ..
but I also always have to keep it on the realsies !
We will never ever ever winin the playoffs and the championship with soft headed soft hearted , soft playing soft players with no balls and no mental and physical toughness with little or no compete !
Enough is enough already
Get these players off our team
47
15
And players like them

look at almost every player on the great teams
They are tough as nails and their 3rd and 4th line are mean spirited and hard to play against
The only tough player we have in our bottom 6 is Hyman right now
Enough
Have all you softies finally come to your senses with these type of players

Shit man those guys are the least of our problems tonight.. Jake Muzzin decided to take the night off and that's the difference tonight.

 

[frizzer1]

Why are people asking for Nylander on the first line, as if he's played well enough to deserve that, at any point this season?

Because his skill is being wasted playing with Tavares.

 

[zeke]

hows that #1 doing? lol

Oh hey look at this "leafs fan" enjoying himself tonight.

 

[The Apologist]

His giveaways aside, he posted a .935 last game.

Tonight he hasn't been good enough though.

This has hardly been on Campbell. The first goal maybe but the next two no way.

I'm not one to jump on the star players but if Willie, Mitch, Auston and JT can't figure shit out soon then they owe this team some money. When you demand McDavid money you better show up every damn night.

As for Keefe, has he tried Willie with Tavares and Mitch with Auston? Something tells me this time it might work... The last 8 games have obviously been a fluke.

 

[Azail]

There is nothing wrong with Campbells game tonight. I don't know what you guys are watching. If Toronto could actually score on their opportunities, not hit the post or miss the net, or continually screw up 2 on 1s it would be tied.

Considering many goalies have been doing this against the leafs recently you have to think the leafs shooters are to blame, not the goalies being Gods.

 

[CelticDruid]

We get these elongated slumps every year.

Could be we are not as good as some people think we are.

We just have no flow, no zip, no energy.

 

[daethfromabove1979]

Is John Tavares playing? He’s absolutely invisible.

 

[Future]

Can we get Gally on the first line? Who cares at this point?

 

[Mr Hockey]

 

[lottster14]

Engvall not scoring is like Kapanen's struggles. Both likeable players but seem to have bad luck

 

[Dreakmur]

At this point, if we exposed Kerfoot, Muzzin, and Hutchinson in the expansion draft... we'd probably lose Hutchinson.....

 

[IrishInOntario]

Toronto hasn't played poorly, the Oilers 3 best players have just stepped up and made great plays tonight, while Toronto' have not.
