GDT: Avalanche@Leafs 7PM SNO

[firstemperor]

Avs look good, 4 lines that generate speed through the neutral zone. Mistakes are bound to happen. Why do we only really have 1 that does.....+ Marner.

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

Deserve a better fate tonight that's for sure

 

[Wendelstache]

think that was Dermott's fault.should have been an even 2 on 2.

 

[Nineteen67]

Rare Matthews defensive mistake, he let Comeau go there for whatever reason.

I really wish our slumping players would score for ****ing once

His first mistake was going behind the line in the offensive zone and not getting that loose puck.

I was yelling at him to stay away

 

[saffronleaf]

Kadri... this is your moment!

lol i love kadri but have no faith in that happening given what's transpired over the last 25 games.

 

[moon111]

Matthews with a Nylander like mistake. send him to the 4th line.

You can't. It would automatically become the #1 line.

 

[keonsbitterness]

This is embarrassing

Your pants split?

 

[Mikeyg]

I hope we win tonight just to shut paul the f up

 

[AppsSyl]

Yes. I have much more of a problem with marner letting up on the back check, not looking over to see the open man... Borgman’s play was completely accidental... could have been a bump in he ice.

Are you going to criticize Matthews as well for letting up on that back check that led to a goal?

 

[eddieO]

"passion" yeah ok.

Passion = extreme overreaction to every single goal against

Didn’t you get the memo?!

 

[Hockey Crazy]

Matthews will tie it and Willy in OT

 

[ottomaddox]

Matthews with the 180 foot backcheck but lets his man go in front of the net when it matters. #won'thappenagain #learningexperience

why the hashtags? is this comedy or do you want people to find these words?

 

[Captain14]

Can we hire a d coach who can teach simple hockey. Dermott leaving his man giving the guy an open lane.

This idea of trying to break up passes 2 on 1 doesnt work.

That was all on Matthews. Dermott moved up to pick up the trailer once he saw Matthews had the other skater.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Matty knew he messed up there. What a stud. He even f***s up like a captain.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Yes if we get a good D coach, none of our players will ever make mistakes again.

nope. never.
great defese ever makes bad mistakes. (see Neidermayer, 2010 gold medal game)

 

[Hockey Crazy]

Are you going to criticize Matthews as well for letting up on that back check that led to a goal?

Sure, why not

 

[Anthrax442]

Billion dollar franchise and the ice quality is just barely better than Vaughan Iceplex

 

[keonsbitterness]

Should be 3-3...

There is that.

How do they make that call???

 

[EXPECT THE LEAFS]

kypreos and cook, are they a couple?

 

[Critical13]

Freddie isn’t carrying us anymore.

 

[Trapper]

Dermott should be covering the front of the net on that goal.

Matthews should have yelled at Dermott to take him because it looked like he was on him all the way. So Dermott had to cover off for Matthews. Then it went south.

 

[Anthrax442]

Marner been useless today

 

[PromisedLand]

just roll with

willy-Matthews-nylander
marleau-kadri-brown
jvr-bozak-marner

benching marner because 4th line while trailing ain't doing any favours here....

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

why the hashtags? is this comedy or do you want people to find these words?

Just trying to demonstrate I don't blame a young amazing player for a very rare defensive mistake.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Please get this to OT. The Leafs haven't been too bad overall. Colorado has been more opportunistic more than anything.
