GDT: Game 7 | Leafs @ Bruins | COME BACK CONTINUES - SLAY THE DRAGON EDITION | Saturday, May 4; 8 p.m. EST | Leafs tied series 3-3

[PromisedLand]

The problem with Robertson's shot is that he can never put himself into the position to use it

you just need one. its game 7 there are no takesey backsy

 

[saffronleaf]

Does anyone else close one eye and squint with the other when Boston shoots?

yes, Samsonov

 

[MSZ]

i’m not being a negative nancy just trying to assess sentiment - anyone else not feel like it’s a game 7 they’re watching

Both teams are playing scared because of their playoff history.

None of the skaters on the ice looked confident at all.

We aren't playing Columbus.

 

[leafs in five]

JT was good, crazy to me that he is still so despised by guys on here who want us to slug it out with the Bruins

 

[93gilmour93]

Just have to win 40 minutes. Everything else that's happened in the series doesn't matter

 

[DarkKnight]

Matthews looks himself. Sammy is high in crease and quiet. Bodes well on those fronts.

 

[thewave]

We gotta put pucks up high on Swayman, we aren’t beating him along the ice

Traffic. Boy if Rielly could put a puck on net. Its going to have to be dirty.

 

[theTTC]

It's the best thing - we're playing them even. Now this is why we pay the Core Fore: to make that crucial bit of difference. The stage is set. One of them must conjure up a flash of magic to spark the win.

If this doesn't happen, after eight years, blow it the f*** up.

 

[Antropovsky]

Starting to be a believer in big D... no matter the outcome of this game, seeing the blocked shots, crease clearing and heavy hits being laid out every shift by the Leafs defense has been great. Edmundson laid out Pastrnak, Benoit laid out Marchand. Remember in the Dubas era we rarely had anyone willing to finish a hit and nobody cleared the crease.

 

[ORRFForever]

The problem with Robertson's shot is that he can never put himself into the position to use it

Yes. Knies has been terrific. Robertson not so much.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Spirits above give me a sign. Will I be joyous or will I be damned?

The answer is yes.

 

[likecheese]

JT was good, crazy to me that he is still so despised by guys on here who want us to slug it out with the Bruins

He hasn't had much criticism lately for the simple fact he's picked it up.

 

[mcleex]

I'm just so thankful there wasn't a screw job by the refs awarding the Bruins a PP. They could have given Knies one on that clean stick lift after hunchback Debrusk dove in the corner

All I could ask for is a fairly officiated game, although there's still 40 min for the screw job to come out

 

[Confucius]

Lmao what do you see in this
This literally epitomizes him as a player

lol, nothing from this game… and I don’t have a problem with him there.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Need someone to break through for us here. Come on boys.

 

[leafs in five]

like others I want Robertson in there

 

[Lightsol]

Lucky to come out of that period 0-0. We played alright but have played better the past two games. Need to get back to that level of play.

Come on, you HAD to have known they'd come out harder in this game. Now they're in the same boat we are; lose and go home. But we weathered it and they didn't get a ton of good looks. The only thing that makes me nervous right now is Sammy. He looked good in Game 3 until he gave up the 1-1 stinker too.

 

[BlueAzN]

He hasn't had much criticism lately for the simple fact he's picked it up.

Agree JT's been good. He just makes wayyyy too much. That's all. As a pure player, he's fine except that his skating is complete ass.

 

[fahad203]

Bertz to me has been the worse forward. Yes he goes to the net but he can't make a pass it seems

That 4th line again has been good

 

[SprDaVE]

Everytime Domi tries to pass to Bertuzzi, he's hanging to the side of the net short side instead of infront, or on his ass. The line does well to gain the zone but rarely ever pull off a play to create an actual good chance.

If things keep going this way, it might be time to audible up the lines.

 

[Eye Test]

Starting to be a believer in big D... no matter the outcome of this game, seeing the blocked shots, crease clearing and heavy hits being laid out every shift by the Leafs defense has been great. Edmundson laid out Pastrnak, Benoit laid out Marchand. Remember in the Dubas era we rarely had anyone willing to finish a hit and nobody cleared the crease.

That’s what she said

But for real it’s a huge advantage

 

[ORRFForever]

This is most stressed I've felt in a long time.

I went for a long walk, today, and when I interacted with people along the way, I asked, "Are you gonna watch the Leaf game, tonight". Everyone, to a person, said yes - and most were pumped.

 

[leafs in five]

He hasn't had much criticism lately for the simple fact he's picked it up.

it's coincided with us starting to really slug it out with the Bruins.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Edmundson laid out Pastrnak, Benoit laid out Marchand. Remember in the Dubas era we rarely had anyone willing to finish a hit and nobody cleared the crease.

Give us one more top pairing capable guy to replace what Brodie used to bring and I think we might be on to something here.
