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

It appears playoff Marner is a thing. So is outcoached playoff Keefe.

What you don't like the Needling the deedling and dipsying the doodle in against a tight PO team? lol

 

[BTP]

Leafs wont lose another game in the series. This embarrassment is a blessing in disguise.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Attaboy, Woll!

 

[All Mod Cons]

I’ve seen enough of Mathews, Marner and Nylander in the playoffs. Mathews and Marner type of gameplay is not suited for the Stanley cup. I’d rather keep a player like Nylander to build for the future.

I'd keep Matthews and Nylander.

I'd somehow get Tavares out of town and trade Marner as well. Just me though.

 

[Apotheosis]

Rielly was never a #1D any more than Tyson Barrie was a #1D.

Every other one of these teams has a legit 1D that can eat minutes. Whenever Rielly is out there I am anticipating something bad happening.

 

[CelticDruid]

Nylander is the only one showing pride.

Just play him to win.

 

[htpwn]

Great save.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Leafs should just continue shooting slap shots. Making what’s left of their D block hard shots is worth it.

 

[RoadWarrior]

I thought people were saying we've added grit over the last year

where the f*** is it?

To be fair it’s hard to be gritty when the refs are calling every touch by the leafs.

@saffronleaf

For your marner/matthews generational choker thread which git locked down

They are elite but generational playiff chokers would be

Patrick Marleau
Joe Thornton

Two guys who those guys look up to...

 

[Leaffan1991]

Holl a -2 with the second most ice time. Keefe is a f***ing genius.

Play Lilly. For f*** sakes.

We all know bunts is done at least 1 so put Knies in too.

And all the powerplay goals against while he was on too

It appears playoff Marner is a thing. So is outcoached playoff Keefe.

people will point to the one point he got after the team was down by a touchdown and TB no longer even cared to play to show OMG marnorr what a hero

 

[Geeve]

Vasilevsky can't catch, but Nylander seems to be the only one going glove side high.

 

[ryno23]

Tavares absolutely sucks 5 on 5 just look up his even strength stats for the season. I wouldn't waste Nylander's minutes with Tavares

Jankrok-Matthews-Nylander
Kerfoot-ROR-Marner
Knies-Tavares-Acciari
ZAR-Kamof-Lafferty

no way I want Kerfoot anywhere near Marner. He will waste so much of Marner passes. Knie is the finisher for that line if you wanted to run that way.

 

[Morgs]

If I haven't made it clear enough since 2014, I think William Nylander is pretty good at hockey

 

[HolyCrap]

I spit up a mouthful of beer laughing at this.

 

[Menzinger]

Thinking about it, I' think id actually prefer the team get blown out in a game 1 situation than lose like 1-0 after getting goalied.

Let them feel some shame and humiliation and (hopefully) turn it into anger starting game 2

 

[PromisedLand]

They are worth 12m in the regular season.

1.2 million in the playoffs though

 

[PanniniClaus]

Gio could be in his last mile here
He looks like he's done

If you want a d man to sit... he's the one... now the pro he is, he may bounce back but he's been our worst tonight

they are doing their best to emulate their mentors unfortunately

 

[Teeder Keon]

Will has been our best player
Still trying
Acciari
Caber
Woll

putrid

Holl
Kerfoot
ZAR
Laff
Gio
Schenn
TJ

 

[9Iron]

Not enough criticism of our puck control system that clearly breaks down under playoff pressure. There just isn't the space to be messing around like in the regular season. It's a HUGE issue.

 

[IPS]

To be fair it’s hard to be gritty when the refs are calling every touch by the leafs.

The refs don't matter at this stage of the game. It's the 3rd period of a game you've already lost and nobody cares to throw a hard check or anything.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Kerfoot is a bum

 

[RoadWarrior]

Rielly was never a #1D any more than Tyson Barrie was a #1D.

Sandin> Rielly?
maybe next season..
