[TMLeafer]

Need a big third.

[The Kessel Run]

What a brutal turnover. The boys look good, though. If it wasn't Boston, I'd say we got this.

 

[Warden of the North]

I guess the plus side is we cant blow a third period lead?

 

[GlitchMarner]

I generally like Gardiner and defend him, but he can really piss you off when he has games where he struggles. It's like the Bruins are in his head now. Some awful giveaways tonight, including one that cost the team.

 

[Guy Boucher]

99% sure that Gards and Zaitsev put money down on the Bruins winning tonight.

 

[Melo Meds]

Problem with Zaitsev is when he isn't playing solid defensively he's pretty useless since his offense is non existent. At least Gardiner can contribute offensively.

 

[socko]

No big deal. We have a comparable to Pastrnak.

 

[CarterD]

I can handle the Leafs being s**t
I can handle no playoffs
I can handle a rebuild
I can handle s**t refs

I can't handle the utter stupidity that is the Leafs management and their obvious blindness towards Zaits. Trade him + a middle prospect for a 7th rounder. Please.



33% of our D can't make a decision
I wonder what Zaits WAR is.

 

[Nooodles]

I actuallly (very very rarely) think we are playing amazing hockey, yet no matter what we do, the Bruins just score.

Well, what can you do. sometimes I just hate hockey, because it's not fair.

Tonight, It's just not.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Zaitsev and Gardiner have been absolute tire fires the second the Bruins decided to hit them.

 

[Griffin76]

Late goals are killers tonight.

 

[wingman75]

brutally soft on the puck on dump-ins. Wow. Just make a f***ing play... this soft half play stuff is why we are a likely candidate for a first round exit.

 

[FlareKnight]

I guess the plus side is we cant blow a third period lead?

If we mirror the second we still can. Have a great third, take the lead, and manage to lose in regulation in the last few minutes.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

This team has 0 chances to advance in second round if Gardiner is still on the roster.. Guy was and will always be an idiot with a loser mentality..

 

[PromisedLand]

you guys think this season our D is bad next season its gonna be

Rielly Zaitsev
Dermott Oz
xxx Holl
xxx

Dubas needs to get off of his ass and work on the D

 

[saffronleaf]

lol i hope we come out and win the third period. although history suggests we'll just get pummeled even further.

would be nice for matthews to score a goal and nylander to make his way onto the scoreboard.

 

[leafsfan5]

how does Gardiner always turn absolute s*** versus Boston.....it's like he's genuinely scared of them

 

[WilliamNylander]

I'll be so happy when Gardiner walks and Zaitsev is traded to the Oilers this summer.

 

[hamzarocks]

Gardiner, Zaitsev, Kadri, marleau and nylanderreally suck defensively. We need to seriously consider an upgrade on defense. Salvage value on kadri and trade him. He has been the 2nd biggest disappointment this season for the leafs.

 

[7even]

he doesn't suck. Look at his sv% He's an upgrade on Sparks imho

That's all Zaits

I see a .886 on the season and a .842 on the night, what am I supposed to be looking at here

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Corsi: 43-30
scoring chances: 19-14
high danger chances: 11-4

I know people love to overreact when the Leafs are losing to Boston, but the Leafs are clearly the better team. Hutch blows though

I can handle the Leafs being s**t

You don’t think they want to get rid of him? There are no takers right now

 

[Kamiccolo]

Marner is gunna f*** us.

 

[La Masse]

Refs put away the whistles once it was 2-2. Lots of interference and tripping by the Bruins. Gardiner ane Zaitsev have been bad tonight and Hutch needs to make a save or two from time to time

 

[HamiltonNHL]

11-4 HD scoring chances.

 

[Gallagbi]

Problem with Zaitsev is when he isn't playing solid defensively he's pretty useless since his offense is non existent. At least Gardiner can contribute offensively.

Bigger issue is that he's the worst partner on the team. So not only does he make his own bad plays, but he consistently stresses his partner with bad passes (like the second goal) and rarely making himself a decent option.
