GDT: Flyers@Leafs 7PM TSN4

[PromisedLand]

this team does not know how to play defense; i have zero hope for the playoffs

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

Send out the 4th line to get things going

Easy now. We’re not trying to start a hockey game here.

 

[Beanzy]

Less and less excited for the playoffs.

 

[Marshy]

No more pulling Freddy. Leave him in.

 

[KobeBean143]

Fred withdrawing his Vezina candidacy this week

 

[taurine330]

Andersen lol sucks lately. Leafs play solid and he lets them down. He can't handle too many games, crashing and burning under pressure.

Who's decision was it to play him 60+ games.

 

[LastOne2100]

It was a 3-2 game, whichever defenceman made that craptacular pass that went for that icing?

Zaitsev. The second worst player on the team (after Brown).

 

[supermann_98]

Freddie struggling hurts to see he's been so good all year

 

[keonsbitterness]

I'm curious if Babs will pull Andersen or not. Being on a back to back has to complicate things.

I think he's getting the whole 60 no matter what.

 

[DarkKnight]

Andersen hasn't been good lately but you can really feel the absence of Gardiner.

Sure he has his brainfarts but hes a lot better than most people say and we're definitely a much better team with him vs without.

I don't think anyone would say we're better off with Marcinin in instead of Gardiner.

 

[PeterPuck101]

Marincin you f***ing suck!!!!

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

this team does not know how to play defense; i have zero hope for the playoffs

5 goals on 19 shots isn't on the defense

 

[Gallagbi]

You really think that? I think we have been blowing it big in key situations.

Yup, absolutely believe that. We've laid a ton of eggs lately, but this isn't one I'd classify that way.

A few brain farts and a goalie who cant stop a beachball. That's the story tonight.

 

[TML11]

what exactly is his injury??

 

[Nooodles]

This team is good.

 

[LeafSteel]

Gudas the sniper???

 

[fahad203]

Marincin has got to go ASAP. No clue how to play defense.

He should have gone after Washington 6th game. He cost us final two goals that cost us the series

 

[The Kessel Run]

It was a 3-2 game, which defenceman made that craptacular pass that went for that icing?

Starts with Z.

 

[KE19]

Anyone that says a word about Gardiner needs to look at this team without him. They are falling apart.

Gardiner is much better than the options out on the ice right now, but he'll be gone in a couple months. We'll have to learn how to play without him sooner rather than later.

 

[Sypher04]

The only guy on the team I think deserves a break is Andersen the guys been out MVP and stole easily 10+ games

Both those things are highly debatable

 

[Einzakin]

Andersen cost us two must win games against weak opponents in a row

Nope. The team leaves him out to dry and Babcock can't make changes. If you've watched the past 3 games you'd know none of it is Anderson's fault.

 

[supermann_98]

Who's decision was it to play him 60+ games.

#1 goalies should be 70+ imo

 

[Ignatius Reilly]

Second goal tonight because Mathews cant win a faceoff in the defensive zone.

Faceoffs are overrated (read it on HFBoards....)

 

[Trapper]

What did we do to improve on the 1st period?
We’ve basically stayed on the outside and broke down defensively.

Where is the aggressive pressure?

 

[wingman75]

These forwards have no clue how to play solid defence.

What an embarrassment.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Gudas the sniper???

Against the Leafs defence he is.

 

[OregonCanuck]

You know it's a bad night when you allow Gudas to score.

That was a hell of a shot in his defense didn’t know he could rip it that well
