GDT: 3/20/18 - 7:30PM EDT - Toronto vs Tampa Bay

[Tim Possible]

Our system seems designed to always wait for a perfect play to shoot the puck. I wish they would try and score some dirty goals every once in a while...

 

[JoVel]

They peaked too early. Not sure if they overexerted themselves but this isn't close to that team on the first two months. This team is ugly. Cooper is getting worked right now. He has no answers.

Pretty disgusting.

WHo cares about that tomato can Edmonton we beat? False sense of security. Meant nothing.

What does this "peaking too early" even mean? If they were good at the beginning of the season, they can't be good now?

 

[T REX]

Well what in specific was bad? We had one bad sequence where we didn't get out because Girardi was a dumb ****. Goal got scored on a tired unit on a delayed penalty. We made our way into their zone as well as to be expected. We got a couple chances here and there. Nothing went in but it's encouraging any time you see Sergachev drive the net. Stamkos, Miller and Kucherov have the speed game going and the only possible defense the Leafs have is playing like it's 1997. Plus Toronto is one of hottest 1st period teams in the NHL.

I'm not worried about it. It'll take some time but eventually the game plan of "Take your trap and stick it" will come to fruition.

0-5 so far vs Boston and Toronto in 4 days...pathetic. Indefensible.

If I have to explain it to you...nevermind. Hilarious.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Cirelli with the wheels!

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Was that a slewfoot? Damn Stammer

Nah saw it wrong out of the corner of my eye.

 

[RDTBay4]

Did Stamkos finish his check and get called?

 

[These Are The Days]

Another goddamn penalty. What for this time?

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

So it's going to be 3-0 momentarily. Cool.

 

[The Macho King]

Dumb penalty. Reilly never had the puck.

 

[Cmac66]

Sergachev has been really good this game shame I can’t say the same about any other player.

 

[rangerrat]

Did Stamkos finish his check and get called?

ya with elbows and high stick the guy without the puck, dummy

 

[Todd1a]

Might as well get used to it we will be facing Toronto in round one

 

[God King Fudge]

The games just honestly aren't worth watching anymore. How many times have they barley broken double digits shots by the half way point of the game over the last two months?

They're constantly getting out shot, out worked, out played and out coached.

It's really frustrating to see what this team is right now.

 

[RDTBay4]

We look slow, sloppy and not very physical.

 

[RDTBay4]

It feels like Cirelli has been on the ice half the game.

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

The Cirelli line is the only line doing a f/cking thing tonight.

 

[Matt Watson]

Might as well get used to it we will be facing Toronto in round one

Right now I'd be concerned if we had to face the Marlies in the 1st round. And that's no joke.

 

[Powerplay17]

This team is broken.

 

[Stormbreaker]

ugly ugly ugly

 

[RussianGuyovich]

I’d love to see Toronto in the first round.

Better than Boston or the devils

 

[rangerrat]

Back pass by Johnson!!! Sad 3-0

 

[Cmac66]

This team is shit at defending.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Sheesh. Regroup.

 

[Todd1a]

That’s game vasy sucks and the lightning suck
