GDT: Wings at Leafs: April 2 | 7 PM

[Sypher04]

so are we heading to Amalie for game 1?

Highly unlikely

 

[centipede2233]

I haven’t been watching the game but noticed Murray left the game, injured? Serious?

 

[fahad203]

Becoming apparent we need matthews and marner to average 1.5 points per game minimum in the playoffs to even stand a chance.

If any of those players come through, it will most likely be Marner

 

[Aashir]

IMO Holl’s had a decent game today.

The player themselves aren’t bad players
Holl is a solid #4-5
Kerfoot is a solid middle six guy

Both make absolutely unacceptable plays as Leafs consistently. Holl fumbled an easy dump in and turned it into a breakaway. He ends up being outmuscled in the worst times

Kerfoot has negative finish and makes some of the dumbest plays known to man

 

[Martin Skoula]

Cooke was a POS but Cooke also manned up and dropped his gloves many times . I still loved Kane knocking him out
The thing about Bunting is he wants to act like a tough guy but wants the ref to bail him out

Again how is deliberately ending careers more tolerable than being annoying?

 

[RunItBackAgain]

IMO Holl’s had a decent game today.

Decent for Holl maybe. He has had at least 3 gaffs that have given either a breakaway or shot within 5 feet of the net.

 

[fahad203]

Hard to track the puck with a pile of players in front of you, including your own defense, standing around not helping.

Yes, welcome to NHL. That's how it is, that's how it's going to be
Wait until Perry comes down your pipe all night

Net traffic is not unique to the leafs. Almost all goalies faces heavy net traffic

 

[ACC1224]

Timmins hasn’t played in a month and has been the best Leaf tonight.
Not much competition though.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Kasper hasn't scored yet btw. So its GG

 

[Teeder Keon]

I haven’t been watching the game but noticed Murray left the game, injured? Serious?

Hopefully

 

[Shooter2x]

Serious question. How many games have we lost to potential Bedard bound teams this year?

Its got to be at least 10.

Cup contenders don’t lose that consistently to teams like that.

It's because we're soft.

These teams see the Leafs on the schedule and play like it's their Stanley Cup.

Problem is we struggle when teams play with heart. Jackets and Habs chokes ring a bell?

 

[Aashir]

That save would’ve been nice 4 minutes ago

 

[Smif]

Well he tracked that one properly, wow.

 

[LastOne2100]

Keep blaming Samsonov folks.

Meanwhile that shift was another disaster by every single skater.

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

kerfoot is such a joke of a player. Loses puck then too physically weak to even battle for it back

 

[fahad203]

Again how is deliberately ending careers more tolerable than being annoying?

That wasn't my point. Cooke was. POS
My point was, at some point Bunting needs to drop it. He can't turn to Refs for a penalty after every time or come to his aid

 

[Teeder Keon]

15 and 3
On
See what I mean
Disaster

 

[Maplebeasts]

Samsonov is really good. Hope we re-sign him.

 

[Confucius]

There again the shooter hit the glove, but great save.

 

[notbias]

Timmins hasn’t played in a month and has been the best Leaf tonight.
Not much competition though.

He and Schenn have been some of the worst Leafs tonight

 

[notDatsyuk]

Nylander just so lazy sometimes, he gave up on that available puck in the offensive zone and they turned it back up and scored.

Nylander steals the puck and sets up Kerfoot beautifully, stays on the forecheck, and a long pass gets to our blueline where Tavares musplays it and Murray misses an easy one, and you blame Nylander?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Just some really poor goaltending and finishing, along with some shocking lapses defensively. Pretty standard Leaf loss

For the record I don't blame Samsonov at all. This is the hardest situation for a goalie to play in

 

[Aashir]

Will Tavares ever do anythjng 5v5

 

[LastOne2100]

Yes, welcome to NHL. That's how it is, that's how it's going to be
Wait until Perry comes down your pipe all night

Net traffic is not unique to the leafs. Almost all goalies faces heavy net traffic

Other goalies have defensemen who will try and CLEAR the front. Not just stand around and watch.

 

[Teeder Keon]

We are a very stupid team
