GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs vs Dallas Stars

[TheDoldrums]

You picked about 1 minute total out of 20 minutes of play.

Matt Murray 100% deserve credit. This team has not had solid goal tending in a long time, especially in the playoffs. You bet your ass I am excited about steady goal tending.

Believing that it was more about Dallas' poor finishing rather than Murray stealing things is not me telling you that you shouldn't be excited about our goaltending.

If we had the period Dallas just had this board would entirely be focused on us being wasteful with our chances and not that we were being goalied.

And nothing said or done in return

No they just ask politely not to run into him

Top four has been carrying this team along with goaltending. Feels strange they have no secondary scoring to speak of, used to be one of their biggest strengths for years and years.

its kinda what happens when the big 4 demand the money they demand and then kyle keeps kerfoot over mcann and gives away marchment.

Surely there are better players than our soft bottom 6. Currently beyond ZAR and Kampf I don't like any of em. I like malgin even though he's small because he makes plays but I think he'd get eaten alive in the playoffs.

And nothing said or done in return

I mean… it’s our players running Murray.

 

[Burnie97]

Scoring chances 11-8 Leafs

HDSC Leafs 6-4.

Wasn't as bad as you thought.

This is 5v5

True but still seem tilted a bit for possession. Mind you it doesn't mean shit obviously because it's 2-0 Leafs. Murray played well but Dallas didn't bury their opportunities either on a number of 2 on 1s.

 

[ER89]

what are the opinions on timmons so far?

not enough time tbh. Looks solid though? Better than mac and mete from like the one time he had the puck lol.

Enjoy the game man. Not every Kodak moment is the chance to push a narrative. Hockey is fun. Enjoy it.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

So is Mete done for the night?

 

[as Pure as Evil]

The fact your saying this is a reflection of our downfall
Terrible that we can’t respond to our goalie that saved our asses

Woudnt be the first time for him the pens never ran to defend him nor the sens. He usually took things in to his own hands

 

[Fogelhund]

He lost a lot of weight

If so, good for him. The suit was still ugly.

 

[napoleon in rags]

Yea, Murray does not appear mentally fragile like Fredrick Anderson. Anderson loved to let in weak goals that deflated the team in pressure games.

Fred's dead, baby. Fred's dead.

 

[Teeder Keon]

No they just ask politely not to run into him

I’m pissed
Thank god I’ve never in my life through 3 sports as a player and coach
Hockey, Lacrosse and football over 40 years plus never ever was affiliated with a team that displayed this weakness

I am buddy, I like kyle lmao but the truth is the truth.

100%

I will take being on the other side of not burying chances for a year. Hopefully moreso come playoff time

 

[Fogelhund]

So is Mete done for the night?

No word yet.

Yeah it's pretty pathetic and painful to watch

If you count marchment pushing mathews in to murray sure

Sorry I totally disagree with that statement especially in Pitt
Not on Crosbys watch man

He was doing ugly for awhile. He didn't want to look like a babe magnet next to Anthony big lobes Stewart

 

[saffronleaf]

The respect factor.

rispek

I've had just about enough of that Rogers Wrapped In Red Event commercial

My statement about excitement is in reference to giving him credit.

Big picture here. I posted a couple games ago we have had a 2 GAA the last 10 games. For comparison sake, Campbell has been a disaster, just as myself and others predicted. It's all perspective brother.

Murray has been steady. I can imagine the circus if we had Campbell or Mrazek in net. Some of those saves might be goals with those in net. I know I'm counting my blessings.

Maybe flower but murray got run over lots during those 2 years hell one game it happened against us and he buggered his neck and they had no push back on that

 

[saffronleaf]

team should get some vengeance for murray and mete
