GDT: GAME #14: LEAFS @ PENS | SAT, NOV 3 @ 7PM ET | PPG PAINTS ARENA | CBC HNIC, SN1

[SeaOfBlue]

I am looking at lines 3 and 4 and I just don't see anything NHL caliber there.

Uh... Literally all of them except Ennis have played up to those standards, especially defensively. The main thing is these guys need to start to figure out how to finish the chances they create for themselves.

Would like to see Johnsson - Kadri - Kapanen. Put Marleau on the third line.

Make Marleau the next man on the moon! Please NASA!

Tavares only player I saw wearing a poppy walking into the arenas they were playing in tonight.

Hopefully, he put more than a quarter in the donation bucket!

Put Marleau on an airline - one way

So do we get the high flying Leafs or the 90's trap Leafs tonight? Hopefully it's more entertaining than the last few

Leaf players need to get back to what they do best - ignore babcock - what's he going to do? bench the entire team for not playing his system?

I feel dirty ..I hope they play like the Canucks.

Holl played less than 13 minutes and still managed to take a penalty and be on for one of the two goals against in that time. That's a bad game for Ozhiganov, not one that would keep him in the lineup. Shouldn't be any different for Holl.

Truth be told, the goal Holl was on for was a blown coverage by Tavares and Dermott. Holl was playing his man....

I’d rather have Holl in vs the Pens than Oz, but let’s just get a damn win tonight and figure it out from there.....

 

[BigGulpsEh]

Leafs need to score first to get some confidence and momentum

Just curious...how many times have the leafs scored first this year? Two? Three?

 

[Kamiccolo]

Hope Malkin and Crosby aren't feeling it tonight lol or we are dead

3

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I like Holl better than Ozhiganov, but Dermott can make any partner look good so it doesn't matter a whole lot

Feels like they get scored on first every game and have to play from behind. Its getting ridiculous

 

[Havoc]

Road game. Should be an easy win

 

[TMLeafs17]

I’m pretty sure I saw Dermott-Rielly playing together last game a little bit. Maybe the coach is looking to slowly make a change...

 

[mcleex]

I'll cut off my third arm if Malkin doesn't score tonight

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Hyman-Tavares-Marner

Yes ! TM

 

[HamiltonNHL]

I'll cut off my third arm if Malkin doesn't score tonight

100% Leaf killer

 

[Nithoniniel]

They did. He was giving Dermott, Gardiner, and Rielly a lot of ice time towards the ice time. He also seemingly didn't let Marner come off the ice.

 

[56 Years No Cup]

Ha! I predicted Holl would be sat down. You can't throw bodychecks and be defensively sound and expect to play on this team!

He was showcased last game for the Carolina scouts.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Man, sing faster.

 

[Tlo1]

Important game here boys. Gotta prove we can still beat the best without our best.
