GDT: Game #1|Wed., Oct. 2, 2013|Maple Leafs at Flyers|7:30 p.m. ET

[Garbage Goal]

This is sad.

Good thing I was already completely apathetic before this game started.

 

[Striiker]

I wana know how log Hartnell is guaranteed on the first line before they move him down for someone more useful... he's been pretty bad this game.

 

[Jtown]

Get Vorabeast on that first line again. Schenn is just a disaster.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Maybe stop trying to pass the puck to players who are surrounded by three opposing players.

yes he has been...

he must have found Brieres quarenteed mins contract in the trash can

this team literaly cant play from behind..its like as soon as the are behind in score the mentality switchs to "yup we lost again"...

 

[OriginJM]

this is frustrating, we cant keep playing like this. there is too much talent to waste on a stupid ****ing system.

 

[Garbage Goal]

Funnily enough Schenn is responsible for our only goal (well, Lecavalier too but you know what I mean). Not defending him, just find it funny.

 

[Karma]

Leafs are all over them once they get it into the zone.

 

[FlyersFan61290]

Key to beating Flyers, crowd puck carrier. Literally that's it. Devils do it, Rags did it, leafs doing it right now as will the rest of the league as the Flyers can't compensate.

This is so frustrating to watch

 

[bennysflyers16]

Beyond Voracek not playing with Giroux we also have Rosehill in the lineup and Laughton (our best prospect as sad as that is) scratched.

Does Rosehill have more than 2 mins ice time ?

 

[Beef Invictus]

why are all 3 of our forwards within 1 foot of each other entering the zone?

It worked so well last year, might as well keep doing it.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Talbot has been atrocious. He was terrible last season too

It's really annoying that he's playing on our 3rd line right now, and we've got a sparkplug like Laughton in the pressbox

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

Honestly I was against giving up Read plus a 1st to get Bernier but he looks like he would be worth it. I know it's only 1 game but he's better than I thought he was.

 

[4thline4life]

The giroux line is basically g doing everything whole schenn and Hartnell stand around and lose races to the puck.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Hartnell is the King of the low percentage pass.

 

[1865]

You know what's happened here? The Leafs have adjusted. The Flyers haven't. Laviolette has been outcoached yet again. It's too early in the season for me to feel this deflated

Lavy loves to play the "hit em hard" players in the top 9, making the line totally useless.

 

[CutOnDime97]

This sucks.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Jake with G with 4 mins left. You stupid **** Lavy. Pls get rid of this hack.

 

[Appleyard]

The annoying thing is that this game should have been buried after 30mins, we dominated up until then.

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

The giroux line is basically g doing everything whole schenn and Hartnell stand around and lose races to the puck.

Yup. It's a one man show

 

[OriginJM]

should of traded for bernier

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

The defensive zone breakout is thousands of miles ahead of last year.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Hartnell is the King of the low percentage pass.

Not gonna lie, I feel like Giroux has had more than his share of those tonight.

 

[Garbage Goal]

Good thing I saw this coming in the preseason. I wasn't the only one.

It's not impossible that this is just a fluke of a game and we have a good season, but all signs thus far point to ******** as far as that is concerned.
