GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs at Ottawa Senators - 7pm - SN / CBC / TVAS - Round 1 | Game 6 - More Pressure, Another Must Win, It’s All Good

[Senscore]

Leafs were definitely more aggressive, which is why we had the odd man rushes we did. Needed to capitalize.


They will probably play more conservatively now.

Maybe.

 

[Speatleysson]

Stutzle has been playing great

 

[Tuna99]

Elliot Freidman seems out of his league. He sounds like a kid at the table with an NHL 1000 game payer and the coach of an original 6 team

 

[Mingus Dew]

I hate they hit from Brady so much

 

[RyCam]

eh, we had 4-5 really good chances that we just didn't get a shot on goal. obviously, you want the shots, but it wasn't a typical 3 shot period where we were hemmed in for 20 mins.

Speaking of not taking shots... Why are we doing this shit again? Being fancy with the puck in the o zone didn't work in games 1, 2 and 3, the Sens changed up their tactics to put everything at net in games 4 and 5, and now we're back to being fancy and trying to deke out everyone and their mothers in the o zone again :/

Even the CBC panel says it's not a good call

Leafsnet convinced themselves with an alternate angle and slo-mo that it was possibly a "careful" call because of the Schenn-Scheifele hit last night.

Carlo also crumbled like a graham cracker.

Leafs have been doing that all series. But still.

They had less shots in the two games they won. I didn't see them trying to fancy, just some good chances that didn't quite connect. Puck seems to be bouncing and skipping a lot on the ice.

 

[SanderSen]

Didn't see the Leafs do anything special at all that period and they got a lucky goal. Just play your game boys and finish on a couple of those chances.

This is the way.

 

[Micklebot]

If they want that to be the standard for late hits fine, just do it both ways, I doubt they will though

they could have at least called out the steamboats in slow mo

 

[bashbros32]

coach of an original 6 team

wtf does this have to do with anything?

The officiating has been slanted all series. Just have to live with it and go for the win.

 

[Dionysus]

Just an extremely soft call by the refs. Thought it was the playoffs.

 

[DylanSensFan]

poo

not a good period

It was a great period. Ott outplayed them for all of it. They got a PP handed to them and got lucky. Just have to bear down.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

We’ve got this boys. f*** em

 

[Sensrule]

Let's get that one back. Plenty of time left. Going to be hard to crack the Leafs D now that they have the lead. Need to capitalize on the PP if we get another one.

 

[Mingus Dew]

It’s a soft call but Brady knows they are going to call it. Behind the play nonsense that causes a goal against

 

[maclean]

I thought we were the better team in the first, Leafs luck into a PP and of course they convert. My positive take is it'll give Green something to talk about and motivate with over intermission

 

[senswon]

If we can find a way to get back in this one... ooh baby

Cmon fellas
Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead
SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

 

[OD99]

Stützle needs to at least get a shot on goal there, won't get many of these chances especially to make it a lead

Sanderson has to make that pass, and it's a tap in. He totally handcuffed Timmy.

One of those plays that can come back to haunt you and on the short term, it did. Should have been 1-0 Senators.

It happens, but everyone seems to be jittery. If that's game 50 it's a beauty tic-tac-toe.

Yeah even Bieksa led with it not being a penalty

 

[Emerica]

Just an extremely soft call by the refs. Thought it was the playoffs.

they’ve been way too involved in this series, on both sides
