GDT: The Legendary Maple Leafs versus Jets again friday

[CanadasTeam]

Didn't like that 1st.. thought they spent too much time in our D zone.

 

[zeke]

Bad period but we managed to keep them from getting many dangerous chances at least.

Helps that our goalie doesn't make chances look better than they are.

 

[Cecithepylon]

I’m fine with that period honestly 0-0 is fine. We didn’t get blown out. Regroup and get a few in the second

 

[Racer88]

Tavares line is total dog crap so far tonight. I hope they pick it up for the 2nd

 

[CelticDruid]

I don't know if anybody watched Overdrive today, but O'Dog was running around the parking lot as part of some bit. He looked absolutely massive. I laughed a bit at first, but then felt bad for him. The man's food intake is out of control.

Dude is a heart attack waiting to happen.

 

[MrvJets]

Good period by the Jets totally dominated that period and quality chances.

 

[hockeyes]

Just gotta wake up and be a little quicker in the 2nd.

 

[MapleLeafs77]

This olympics hyman question is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard in my life

 

[therealkoho]

can you imagine Hyman McKinnon and McJeebuzz

 

[Gallagbi]

For all the Hyman talk on team Canada, I'll say this.

He and Crosby would be an absolutely nightmare downlow. Throw Marchand on the left and you wouldn't get a second to breathe that whole shift.

 

[Bellefour20]

Why does the Jets feed keep saying the Jets are a well rested team compared to the Leafs? They both played each other on Wednesday and they're schedule is pretty identical going back few games beyond that.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Very boring game

Are you sure you're watching the same game as I am? Far from boring.

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Is the site broken for anyone else? Looks like someone is pulling an April Fool's joke a day late.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Drop pass city

Puck is held a foot in front of the opposing net, a couple of drop passes later Leafs are trying to keep the puck in from the blue line.

Shooting is ok too...they seem to forget this.

 

[Pi]

I love Nylander but wow what an absolutely embarrassing first period by him. Loose and casual play that led to several cycles for the Jets, just not engaging in any battles to retrieve pucks on either side of the ice.

This is the kind of play that deserves a benching. If it’s a close game, I won’t be surprised if his ass gets stapled to the bench tonight.

 

[Racer88]

Good period by the Jets totally dominated that period and quality chances.

And yet they still couldn’t score

 

[danron1376]

when was the last time this team shot on a 2 on 1 instead of passing?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

That 2nd line had a bad time. JT, Willy, and Galch got hemmed in too much for my liking. Hope they can turn the tide through the next two periods.

 

[smokes lets go]

Bend but didn't break there. Hopefully we come out with something of substance in the second.

 

[Racer88]

when was the last time this team shot on a 2 on 1 instead of passing?

Such an event does not exist. Lol

 

[MattySnipes]

Schiefele has been a noticeable factor tonight in creating and controlling the play that our big guns have not.

I think it was rather obvious Jets would come out the way they did, and even then it really wasn't all that bad.

I'm happy its 0-0. Leafs now have to step up their game. Hyman, PK and Campbell helped in 1st, others will in 2nd.

Let's go!

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Is it my imagination or is Campbell much better positionally than the other guy?

He is for sure better.

 

[PromisedLand]

When Nylander plays like this he’s unbearable

Willy's game is offense; if it isn't there he is pretty much useless. He doesn't back check or lays big hits so he needs to get his offensive game going and stop giving the puck to the jets

 

[therealkoho]

I feel the Jets are getting away with some questionable stuff.

No way Jose!

 

[CelticDruid]

Polak was so useless lmao it was maddening watching him

Polak was a beast at hits though something this team is sadly lacking. I always thought that he got a bad rap from a lot of fans.
