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

[The Beyonder]

0 in last 17 ... 1 in last 22 on the PP. Come the f*** on.

 

[BTP]

bruh how many POSTS are we gonna hit .... not just this game its BEEN the story

 

[Stephen]

We have been snake bitten offensively going on 3 weeks now. Wild.

Really badly constructed power play. Thornton and Simmonds don’t even have jobs out there. It’s like Marner and Rielly to the outside and Matthews getting occasional looks.

 

[The Apologist]

The post is not our friend this month

Fify

 

[Griffin76]

Not only should Thornton not be on the #1 PP but he sure as hell shouldn't be staying on for the second unit.

 

[IrishInOntario]

Plenty of chances. Our big boys just haven't been good enough to finish tonight. Theirs have.

That's the difference in the game right now. Shit happens.

 

[Captain14]

Thornton on the PP for 1:38 is bad.

Lol...that is worse than bad

 

[BigGulpsEh]

He doesn't have a cannon and that's ok. What I don't understand is that I thought Muzz did. Why is Muzz not there?

Its not just about how soft his shot is but he is so inaccurate

 

[Mats13]

Thornton on the PP for 1:38 is bad.

Thornton with 1:40 and Willy with 0:20

Now that’s how you win hockey games

Thornton on the PP for 1:38 is bad.

Keefe is lost out there.

 

[forecheck]

BOTTOM LINE- This group does something come playoff time or Dubby and Shanny experriment is over!

 

[Battle Lin]

keefe has everyone playing all out of wack in the lineup...hyman and galchenyuk our two most skilled wingers after marner and nylander, so keep them in the top 2 for more than 3 games for christ sakes

thornton and spezza are both still playing good for their age but are still bottom 6 guys now, and pretty decent ones still so play them there

simmonds is your 4th line enforcer, hitter, net guy, nothing more really...so play him in the right role man

kerfoot has been a solid 40 point center his entire career, which is ok for a 3rd line c, so play him there

engvall has nice size and d and only enough offense for 4th line standards, and PKs for you, thats 4th line center written all over it...so get him in the right spot keefe jeeze, get everyone playing where they should be

 

[Superstar]

He’s actually leaning on the iron.

He robbed Matthews twice on almost sure goals...once on a windmill glove save where he couldn't catch it because the shot was so hard...another one on a deadly one-timer on the Leafs' recent PP.

 

[Racer88]

Puck luck folks. That’s the difference tonight.

Hitting posts is simply about poor inaccurate shooting. Luck has nothing to do with it

 

[1specter]

I hate games like this where even though it's close you know it's done halfway through based on what's happening

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Really badly constructed power play. Thornton and Simmonds don’t even have jobs out there. It’s like Marner and Rielly to the outside and Matthews getting occasional looks.

Simmonds just hasn't been able to complete a simple pass tonight.

 

[Stonehands 1]

Ping, oh the leafs must be in town

 

[Throw More Waffles]

And our core is not on a 10+ game slump...

So maybe don't make crap up to make a weak point.

Tavares: 7 points last 10 games (57 point pace/82)
Nylander: 5 points last 10 games (41 point pace)
Matthews: 6 points last 10 games (50 point pace)
Marner: 8 points last 10 games (65 point pace).

Honestly, what are you talking about?

Agreed. It’s time to shit or get off the pot.

 

[saffronleaf]

so we're not the best team in the north, eh?

Joe Thornton is Keefe's Marleau. I am sick of our coaches using the wrong players too much.

naww that cant happen.... after reading the boards here that is just not a possibility

 

[The Apologist]

Its not just about how soft his shot is but he is so inaccurate

Like so many of the guys on our team every one of his shots looks like a half pass looking for someone to 'finish' the shot.

Why don't the Oiler D get caught up the ice so far tonight? ( sarcasm)
