GDT: Capitals@Leafs 7PM TSN4

[pcruz]

Umm well Marner is on pace for only 96 points, which is only 2 more than Sundins 94 point season in ‘97. I think it’s a little hyperbolic to use Killers season as a comparison.

You just made my argument for me.

Marner's on pace for the best season since Gilmour's.
It's not comparing Killer's season to Mitch's.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I’m very indifferent to them losing right now. I’m okay with facing the Islanders or Lightning instead of Boston. We all know that Babcock will lose his ****ing mind against Boston and their top line will torch us.

When was the last time you remember that the Leafs actually won a playoff series without home ice? Exactly, you don't because that happened a long long time ago. History is really against them if they start on the road.

 

[DarkKnight]

Just tuned in - How is Nylander doing as a center?

A lone bright spot.

 

[6ix]

It's boring. They aren't even mentally engaged most of the time. There is absolutely no fire and I can tell because I would rather be watching a documentary or reading right now. How do you get into this fragmented team that has no internal rhythm. You get spurts and the most exciting stuff right now is individual efforts by Nylander or a nice pass here and there from Marner.

They play like a team that’s completely tuned out their coach.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Watching the Leafs is like lifting weights for your heart.

Without a spotter to boot.

 

[Cynical]

Is this team allergic to shooting the puck at the net from the point? They will keep possession for 2 minutes at a time in the zone and then lose it without a single shot on goal. When someone goes to the net, shoot the freakin puck at the net!

Done in round 1, people thought i was delusional, no i'm right

I'd still take Sundin's seasons in the 2000s over Mitch's. Mats was prone to be more dominant even if he did not score as many points in the dead puck era.

 

[yubbers]

We need Martin back to get Mitchy back on track. Get thet smelling salts!

 

[BudsOne]

I like most am no fan of Gardiner Never have been .. The one think I think is lost is that Gardiner was once a very good winger who was transitioned in to a defender. Perhaps before hes written off for good maybe get him some time on the wing Not the craziest thing to have happened to him.... Or then again maybe just trade him cause you know you aint resigning him at 5 -7 Mil per ... Not sure they can afford him at 2-3 Mil per ....

 

[frizzer1]

This team has no fight in them.

They look like a team that no longer enjoys the game....or lack of heart....or quit on the coach..
Dunno..but something is going on here....

 

[Daisy Jane]

Something something passive aggressive .

people have issues with jake

people explain why they have issues with jake
the overwhelming response back has to do with his stats.
so the reason why people believe he's a great defense.
has something to do with his stats.

if you want to believe that's passive aggressive, alright

 

[Throw More Waffles]

must be watching curling the last few years when nylander/matthews had the best 5on5 corsi, and p/60.

You mean they sucked on the power play? That’s not good. Seems strange to spin that as a positive.

 

[Grapes1]

Don’t worry our 4th line going to win this. Gauthier back on 4 minutes left in second down 2

 

[Ziggdiezan]

We need Martin back to get Mitchy back on track. Get thet smelling salts!

Hid dealer Martin is out of town unfortunately

not just a goon but a productive goon too

 

[Raging Bull]

Every line Marleau goes on should be called the Weekend At Bernies line.

 

[yubbers]

Not all of us. We're far too soft and it's been blatantly obvious for some time.

 

[ULF_55]

Think coach Q would be willing to co-coach?

Tough love for Babcock, he can suck it up like he expects players to.

There's always next year!

It was your condescension that I was taking issue with .

 

[thewave]

It's either that or the Nylander contract thing, the overpay for Matthews or the drama now with Marner. Probably all that and Babcock rolled up into one.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Montreal winning in Philly. Watch out.

WC1 wouldn’t be the worst place for us to finish. The metro looks much easier to navigate than the murderers row that would be TBL Bos TML

 

[yubbers]

I've been a big Marleau defender but man he has been bad.

 

[Walshy7]

Jets 1st round pick is number 5 on the board?

 

[ULF_55]

This deserves more than a single like.

It is a good thing he had great wheels, because otherwise he'd be completely embarrassed out there.
