GDT: GAME #9: LEAFS vs BLUES | HNIC Sat, Oct 20 @ 7PM ET | Scotiabank Arena | CBC, SN1

[Not My Tempo]

Honestly, I was really upset after the Pens game, but I'm feeling really meh about this one

 

[glue]

Well goodnight folks. Disappointing to say the least. But maybe some adversity is good early in the season

 

[ottomaddox]

Why did Matthews try to shoot through two blues?!

Toronto are too soft and their D is the worst.

 

[Thread The Needle]

Hey, I need someone who has a lot of time on their hands to see if we've actually ever scored a goal with the goalie out under egocock

I remember we scored once last year. Yes that's ONE time.

 

[Polaris1010]

Two straight no shows!

Trade Nylander, or sign him!

The uncertainty affecting these overpaid bums!

 

[Havoc]

Can you imagine what would happen if Nylander decided to take two games off like this.

Probably get deported.

 

[PromisedLand]

Hyman - Matthews - Kapanen
Leivo - Tavares - Marner
Marleau - Kadri - Brown
Johnsson - Lindholm - Ennis

Just switch stuff around try something new. See what works and what doesn't

I'll be on board with this.

 

[34]

Leafs are getting smashed lately.

Marleau, Johnsson have to go.

Robidas island for old man.

 

[SwaggySpungo]

You have an elite powerplay. What benefit does pulling the goalie bring in that situation? Just leave your net empty for empty netter practice.

The Leafs couldn't generate anything whatsoever off the powerplay all night and they were down 2 goals.

 

[Gallagbi]

Can we teach Matthews something besides that wristshot from the top of the circle?

Like the backhand he took earlier?

 

[saffronleaf]

Another poor showing from local deity Marner.

 

[MyBudJT]

Tavares' worst game as a Leaf by far... lets hope he doesn't have too many games like this.

 

[Cor]

So, based on this thread, tonight we’ve learned;

- Dubas is bad
- Babcock is bad
- Tavares is bad
- Marner is bad
- Marleau is bad
- Rielly is bad
- Andersen is bad
- Gardiner is bad
- Johnsson sucks
- Ozhiganov sucks
- Kadri is bad
- Brown is bad
- Lindholm is bad
- Leivo should be on the top line

The NHL should expand to 32 teams, and give HFBoards full control of the 32nd team, with all decisions being done via polls.

 

[forecheck]

This is the new norm around the league.

Yes - Not a fan of this move ( The analytics crowd like it though )

 

[ULF_55]

I really wondered about pulling when they other team can ice without worry.

Didn't really matter, the better team won.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Another poor showing from local deity Marner.

Other than his assist and some decent pk work, he was super underwhelming. He doesn't look like a superstar anymore

 

[PromisedLand]

Marner's shot is very poor.

Marner > Nylander

 

[saffronleaf]

Can you imagine what would happen if Nylander decided to take two games off like this.

Probably get deported.

It's ok when local deity Marner does it. Brown takes all 82 games off and it's ok local hard working boy feeds his family.

 

[Cleetus]

does anyone else find these 2 cbc clowns are very annoying.

 

[Loosie]

Simpson clearly doesn't read HF. Because I've learned here that losing 2 games in a row does mean your team is worse

 

[Mr Hockey]

Babs is going to be pissed in the post game inter

 

[leafsfan2point0]

The trolls are in here liking all of our ****ty hot take posts. It’s been two bad games, oh well. It’s a long season, on to the next one

 

[NightTrain1]

I totally dont agree with keeping the goalie pulled when you have a PP. Its just free shot city for the penalized team with no icing.

This team looks terrible right now, just absolutely abysmal. Matthews doesnt look like he gives a crap out there. Marner and Tavares are just being eaten up and stuffed and our other dangerous forwards havent shown up at all this year. I think back to how much fun the Chicago game was even though all the goals was technically bad, and now to this and its just a terrible feeling.

 

[A1LeafNation]

1 goal in two games what the f*** are we paying these guys for.

Well. the score IS 4 to 1 for the Blues! So, the Blues were not BAD!
