GDT: Game #4 | LEAFS @ STARS | Tues, Oct 9, 2018 @ 8:30 PM EST | TSN4

Hoping Anderson has a bounce back game after handing the Sens those points last time.

Dallas has been outplayed through their first two games but Bishop has been a rock back there.

Will he be able to stop the leagues best offense so far?

Not sure how you could watch our first two games and say we were outplayed in either of them.

5on5 numbers were limited against Winnipeg because the Jets kept taking dumb penalties and we went into coast mode in the 3rd period up big.

The Coyotes game was closer, but still, the Stars outplayed them.

Hopefully the Leafs have another strategy other than the stretch pass. More aggressive defense wouldn't hurt either.

 

[BlueForever75]

Leafs win this game 6-3. First regulation win.

Another 2 goal 2 assist effort from Matthews.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Nichushkin returns from injury and replaces Dickinson on the 4th line.

Otherwise OP lines is correct for Dallas.

Enjoy the game.

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Really hoping Kapanen can follow up his strong game against Chicago with another one tonight
Solidifying him and Matthews together would be huge

 

[Suntouchable13]

I can't believe our own fans underestimated the ability of Auston Matthews to put up points. Marner is great but he will not have more points than Matthews.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Why does Dallas start the game at 7:30 on a week night?

Because traffic is awful in DFW, you will notice empty seats and late arrivals (which someone will surely point out low attedance in this thread at the start of the game) but it does fill up throughout the first period.

 

[Liminality]

Nichushkin returns from injury and replaces Dickinson on the 4th line.

Otherwise OP lines is correct for Dallas.

Enjoy the game.

Looking forward to seeing Heiskanen.

Dallas has dominated both games, not sure where this is coming from.

We were out shooting Winnipeg 30 to 15 at the half way point on Saturday.

I was about to point this out, i don't know about the stars first game but the stars slapped around the jets the other night, it wasn't close.

 

[Fogelhund]

This will be a tougher test, and better barometer of where our team is at the moment. Better play some D this game, get some goal tending, and take care of the puck possession, or we could be in trouble.

 

[OVO16]

Stars got a good team no doubt. But their weakness seems to be defense just like ours.

We can pot some goals for sure. Question is, how many do we give up?

Watched some of the WPG-DAL game and the way that DAL created chances for themselves against a good defensive team, makes me somewhat worried about what will happen tonight.

Thankfully, we can outscore our problems.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Can someone tell Andy it’s November?

 

[Schooner]

I just picture us stretch passing out of our zone, intercepted at their blue line by Polak, who ices it back to us on our goal line. Repeat for 60 minutes.

Edit: then we win in OT

 

[ShaneFalco]

Can someone tell our D that the stretch pass isn't really working, and hasn't for a while?

CC that message to our forwards so they don't post up at the opposite blue line, rather than give the D a bit of support

Takes two to tango!

The stretch pass from Matthews to Kapanen was ok.

[ShaneFalco]

The Goat a 6'5 teddy bear

 

[Schooner]

Yeah but you have to be selective about those kind of passes and maybe break out with a simple efficient breakout rather than have 29 turnovers in 3 games...

 

[ShaneFalco]

Can't say he doesn't deserve it
But Brown getting more time? Maybe an attempt to get him going?

 

[OVO16]

I told yall

 

[Schooner]

I told yall

Hopefully will be the kick in in *** he needs
