GDT: Game Three: Boston Bruins At Toronto Maple Leafs (7:00 PM EST - SN, CBC)

[GoonieFace]

Marner still playing scared. Pathetic.

That was a pathetic attempt at clearing the puck, he looked scared

 

[IPS]

Marner needs a stint with the 3rd line, get back to the basics a bit.

 

[Blanka]

Wotherspoon was first going in, then slowed down like a little bitch because he didn't want to take the hit. Team of soft coonts.

 

[Craig Button]

I wonder if Marner is injured

He is

 

[Torontonian]

Marner is approaching unplayable. It looks like his brain and body are both at 50% speed.

Hes mortified he might get rocked by having the puck on his stick.

 

[PromisedLand]

Benoit and Reaves lol. Huge hits

Not sure what Marner was doing at the blue line. Puck needs to get out

Scared to take a hit to make a play.

Really pissed me off

 

[keonsbitterness]

physicality takes me back to islanders leafs series from sundin era, that was the most physical leafs series i've ever watched

Yeah, that was some nasty hockey.

 

[LaPlante94]

Why is Keefe insistent on getting Marner going, when the other three lines are performing well?

Marner needs to get Marner going.

Keefe is literally going to throw games away to just try to get Marner going? Infuriating.

Usually how it goes on this team the last few years. You'll get a good line going especially in the bottom 6 ad then they break it up to try and get one of the stars going.

 

[Confucius]

Tavares has no back bone, and Marner is just lol at this point

See the puck battles won stat? JT kicking ass in other battles.

 

[TMLegend]

Why is Keefe insistent on getting Marner going, when the other three lines are performing well?

Marner needs to get Marner going.

Keefe is literally going to throw games away to just try to get Marner going? Infuriating.

Mitch's feelings are of paramount importance to Keefe

 

[Arzak]

I wonder if Marner is injured

Even worse, hurt feelings.

 

[Macallan18]

Bench Marner

He is

mentally?

 

[leafs in five]

I also think matty is dealing with injury. Taking really short shifts and looks like he is laboring out there

not really seeing this at all

 

[7even]

Bruins had one shot 5v5

They don't really scare me. But Swayman does.

 

[IPS]

The rest of the team is embracing physicality and grit and Marner still won't, someone's gotta give him a talking to.

 

[Cleetus]

physicality takes me back to islanders leafs series from sundin era, that was the most physical leafs series i've ever watched

yea that was nuts! lol

 

[Dave92]

Imagine we had the 17.5 million being paid to Marner and Nylander in the lineup right now

 

[Arzak]

Bruins had one shot 5v5

They don't really scare me. But Swayman does.

He kind of counts as one of them

 

[Macallan18]

Scared to take a hit to make a play.

Really pissed me off

I before e except after c

 

[BayStBullies]

Bruins getting away with too many men, picks, elbows, everything they want. I bet the refs finally "set the example" the second the Leafs return the love or they send one from each side off.

 

[OVO16]

We need to start ratching up the hitting and energy. We're ay home for gods sakes

 

[Leafs87]

Bruins had one shot 5v5

They don't really scare me. But Swayman does.

Yeah both their goalies

 

[ruaware41]

The problem is Mitch is the golden child on this team. you can’t upset his feelings or he’ll throw a fit and he happens to be a pretty important player on this team. This is just what it feels like so I sympathize with keefe here he’s between a rock and a hard place when it comes to holding Mitch accountable.

 

[frog]

If nylander is back next game... You need to scratch marner he cant play in a physical series like this

 

[egd27]

wow that Reaves thread would be an interesting read right about now lol

Some folks sure have become quiet about how "horrendous" the signing was
