GDT: Toronto @ Philadelphia, Thursday March 14th. 7:30PM

It hasn't been a good 2nd period.

Are you surprised? Every time this team has a good period, they just stop playing

 

[PromisedLand]

wtf was that faceoff

 

[fahad203]

Sloppy..... Just sloppy

 

[Aashir]

Liljegren you gotta make contact with the puck there ffs

 

[fahad203]

Knies without Matthews really doesn't produce much

 

[DarkKnight]

Liligren having a strong game. Edmundson much better than against Habs too.

 

[egd27]

Sammy our playoff starter?

if they started today? for sure

 

[Stephen]

At the rate Matthews is going, they might as well load manage him and give him all the games Marner is missing off. He’s just not good.

 

[Macallan18]

lol keefe is awake.. playing Rielly with Lilly

 

[Aashir]

This doesn’t look like 2023-2024 matthews

This looks like 2022-2023 matthews

 

[fahad203]

Holmberg is a much better fit

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

This doesn’t look like 2023-2024 matthews

This looks like 2022-2023 matthews

Won't matter. Bobby Mac is gonna score the Stanley Cup winning goal

 

[Aashir]

This goalie of theirs is making big save after big save

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I actually don't mind Matthews away from Marner and grinding away in the offensive zone. He won't put up gaudy totals but he's playing a pretty effective game and ideally leaves Marner/Nylander to dominate lesser competition

It's almost as if Matthews is more effective when Marner is playing

 

[Macallan18]

Rielly-Lilly
Brodie-McCabe
Whatever
Should be the pairings

I like Dewar

 

[Burnie97]

Philly getting away with lots of little cheap shots and interference.

 

[MuckFontreal]

Someone clean that damn lens on the camera!

 

[fahad203]

Phily really lacks high end skills.
I thought Farabe had some elite touch

 

[Aashir]

Reaves needs to board Hathaway into oblivion

 

[Mr_Fun]

Jane Hathaway acting all tough.

 

[PromisedLand]

yes McCabe give him a stunner right on that stupid ice

 

[egd27]

that's one slow whistle........hmmmm

 

[93gilmour93]

I love all the scrums after the whistles. We just haven't seen this from the leafs in years.....

 

[LeafsFan89]

Matthews is just standing there watching. Ugh. I wish he would be more aggressive.
