GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Tampa Bay Lightning | Game #1 Tuesday @ 7:30pm | Legacy

hm, seems like Jarnkrok works on the top line

How could we have known this

Right, keefe over thinks everything. The lines we rolled to end the season were perfect. But our coach decides to go to something different.

 

[CincoHolio]

Why did we even have Bunting on that line to begin with?
It should have been Jarnkrok

Keefe is freaking fool. He's been juggling lines around game to game since the TDL. Everyone kept saying - ok now he must settle into some consistent lines - yet here we are.

I would trade everyone and start it all over.

I would only keep Nylander, seems to show up in the playoffs

Nylander is our only star with elite speed. I've said this in the past about the leaf core. Come playoffs, speed is one of the most important traits a player can have. Marner, Tavares and Matthews don't have breakaway speed and in the playoffs the speed goes way up. I also think mental toughness and compete level is up there. Perry doesn't have speed but the man competes.... Again Tavares and Marner specifically lack the do whatecer it takes to win element to their game. They both stand out in a strange way in playoff hockey. They look unusually afraid to battle.

i agree in regards to Nylander, seems to be the only one that takes over im the playoffs.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

At least matthews and marner padded there stats in this loss

Oh man do they ever need to be better.

 

[Stephen]

Someone needs to slap Marner, he literally turned his body around and tried to poke the puck along the boards. He afraid of the puck popping up now?

He's gotta know by now there are things you do in November that don't work in April.

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

No call on the Kucherov slew foot just before the 7th goal.
Hit Kucherov, hit Kutcherov what a piece of sh!t.

 

[Gallagbi]

Turned it off after the second, did Cernak come back?

 

[Steven1562]

It's one game but not the way you want to prove the doubters wrong. Lose on Thursday and might as well pack your bags.

[Antropovsky]

Marner with three points.... Two secondary assists and a primary assist when the game is 7-2. Looking forward to some posters pointing out that his stats say he did great!

 

[saffronleaf]

Oh man do they ever need to be better.

they will not be. they can't. if you didn't figure that out the first SIX times idk what to tell you. they are stone cold losers. it's in their DNA

 

[ITM]

We looked much different with Reilly out in the regular season. I don't like how our club looks when he's in the lineup.

Game 2: Bunting, Reilly, Samsonov out; In: Knies, Liljegren, Woll.

And I've been saying it forever - If this team was Nylander's, he's got another gear. I think international level Nylander is poised to drive a team in the NHL. I hope it's ours.

 

[34]

Oh well, as long as the Oilers lose, I will be happy. There is nothing that makes me happier in hockey, then watching that fan base melt down.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

If Cernak is out for a significant amount of time Bunting will at least have surpassed Kadri for stupid headshots by actually making it count.

Hes keeps beleiving that Bunting will somehow start scoring again.

You dont keep a great but complimentary winger if your sending out 34 and 16

Burn this bad boy down if we lose this year

 

[fahad203]

Why do people love Kampf so much?

 

[Jojalu]

At least matthews and marner padded there stats in this loss

Sigh!

As opposed to giving up and doing nothing?

 

[Holls Blackmail]

 

[MSZ]

At least matthews and marner padded there stats in this loss

Can't wait for the Marner fanbois come out next week and tell us how great Mitch has been after yet another quick exit next week.

 

[keonsbitterness]

you are negative

posts incoming when I said that I was called negative and a hater

Didn't see that post, but I would have agreed.

 

[CelticDruid]

We look gassed.

 

[ryno23]

Marner - Matthews - Jarnkrok
Nylander - Tavares - Knies
Accari O'Reilly Lafferty
ZAR - Kampf - Kerfoot

McCabe - Brodie
Lillygren - Reilly
Schenn - Giordano

Has to be the lineup next game.

Dead, that guy looks like Matthews

 

[Leaffan1991]

Jarn Matthews Marner
Knies ROR Nylander
Kerfoot Tavares Acciari
Laff Kampf Simmonds(I think he makes more of an impact)

Bunting suspended
