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

[Captain14]

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

A shot that misses its mark by an inch is not poor shooting.

Shanny f***ed up when he made the decision to replace Dubs with Lou.

Yeah, spending 13.25M on Marleau, Zaitsev, and Martin while having Zaitsev and Hainsey as his only 2 defensive upgrades over a 3 year window was genius GM work.

 

[Griffin76]

I guess 44million dollars of cap space can only buy us 1 goal in games like these

44?

If the Leafs finish 3rd or 4th it'll be an embarrassing choke and a terrible way to go into the playoffs. Luckily it won't even be close the the most embarrassing moment of the Dubas Keefe era, so maybe the players will be used to it.

Will you care that we finished 3rd if we win 2 playoff rounds? Equally will you care that we finished 1st if we lose in the 1st round?

 

[Teeder Keon]

Even that scoring attempt by Marner was him trying to be cutesy
You need to bury scoring chances , bare down instead of trying to out wit the goalie

 

[fahad203]

I like how Tipped just plays McDavid. No over coaching, no over thinking
I have a star, I am going to play him every other shift until he gets tired or tells me otherwise

 

[leafsfan5]

Oh look we're playing another Vezina candidate

First it was Korpisalo, then it was Merzlinkins, then it was Rittich, then it was Demko, then it was Helly, then it was Smith

who else shall we add to this list

Smitty putting on a clinic....

How many bad goalies are going to "put on a clinic" against us before we come to the realization that our team just isn't very good?

This team isn't good.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

I told you, we are making vezina trophy candidates out of these goalies. Even a 39 year old goalie lol!

Eventually people will figure out the real problem is lack of finish when the league is no longer playing pond hockey. We saw it in Columbus last playoffs.

 

[Wendelstache]

What? Lou is trash. Trotz carries that franchise.

gtfo, who hired trotz and got the personnel for trotz to utilized.

 

[Cleetus]

What? Lou is trash. Trotz carries that franchise.

who brought Trotz in?

 

[Alamo Leafer]

now they're just dizzy C's out there lol

 

[Superstar]

Smitty putting on a clinic....

Guy's 39, make him pull something, lol

 

[Stephen]

that was absolutely PATHETIC Marner. I can fart a better shot than that.

Just hammer it home. There’s no time for soft touch plays when your offense is so dry.

 

[Mats13]

3rd line getting shredded

But can’t even blame them, no idea why our coaches thought matching up the third line with Mcdavid was a bright idea

 

[Stonehands 1]

Mcjeses left all alone

 

[34]

Oilers have dominated the Leafs. It looks like an NHL team vs house league.

 

[Cleetus]

Guy's 39, make him pull something, lol

thought he did in the first on that spezza chance lol

 

[Stephen]

What? Lou is trash. Trotz carries that franchise.

I think not. They likely don’t have championship upside but they’re run like a well oiled college program.

 

[MattySnipes]

ZIP line needs to be unzipped.

 

[The Apologist]

But why change it up? It’s not like we’ve went 0-17 or anything

Oh you silly person you....

Auston, Mitch, over the boards together.... Johnny T/ Willie... You're next. I have a feeling this time it will work.

 

[Dreakmur]

A shot that misses its mark by an inch is not poor shooting.

A shot that grazes the goalies arm before hitting the post wasn’t bad luck either.

 

[NK94]

It's true. I miss Zaitsev back there on the blueline instead of Brodie.

I totally miss Martin being a $2.5M healthy scratch.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Leafs are going nowhere the way they have been playing. Room needs to be shook up.

 

[The Beyonder]

Even that scoring attempt by Marner was him trying to be cutesy
You need to bury scoring chances , bare down instead of trying to out wit the goalie

Absolutely. More cutesy than urgency for sure. Should be hard and high.
