GDT: HFBoards GDT | 2/18/20 | 7 games today. Hangman will need both hands to count the games

[BruinsBtn]

But hey....at least Matthews is scoring goals. That's what really matters.

Yep. He never killed penalties and he isn't starting now.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Ohhhh shit comeback is on

 

[chethejet]

Pens glue guys are just so much better than the Leafs. Mathews has not exactly been lighting it up but he is talented. Leafs just have no D and just depend on skill and offense.

 

[Master P]

Blue Jackets sweep Lightning in Game 4 for first playoff series victory

 

[c9777666]

Only if you're willing to relegate the entirety of the pacific.

And deprive us of the most competitive division in the NHL?

 

[c9777666]

Pens glue guys are just so much better than the Leafs.

The glue guys have leeched off of Crosby.

 

[RoyalDuder]

Boy, it sure looks like the Leafs could use a young goaltender with term...

 

[danpantz]

Why even review that.

hopefully the rest of this game is entertaining now that Toronto has some momentum

No excuse but aren't the Leafs missing their #1 dman right now? I do agree their D is as most non-Leaf predicted it would be though, bad.

 

[Mitch nylander]

This shouldn't be a 5-2 game. Poor defence, poor pk and poor goaltending is the reason. Shots are 27-16. 5 goals on 16 shots is quite pathetic

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Nice d play by Sandin.

 

[rboomercat90]

The Leafs need a hardass coach to get these guys playing the right way

Babcock is still available.

Any goalie would struggle behind this defence

 

[Il Stugotz]

Tavares isn’t helping. Last time I watched him (Sabres?) he tried to skate through 4 guys too.

 

[SI90]

Pens roll out any line up and just continue to win and produce. It’s really annoying.

 

[Weezeric]

Leafs are really at their best when they’re down four or five.

 

[Emerz]

Sabres are truly hopeless.

 

[c9777666]

Any goalie would struggle behind this defence

Even Rask?

PP battle is 3/3 vs 0/4 and that’s the difference

 

[The Winter Soldier]

McDavid is recognized as the best player in the game, but Sid is still right there with him. What I like about him is he can play it anyway. Heavy or skilled game, and really he is not only a great offensive player, he is a pretty good defensively player also. A treat to watch play on both sides of the ice.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Is that actually Mel Gibson with Melnyk?

 

[Marner]

Leafs playing like shit. so much skill but no heart.

 

[Mitch nylander]

PP battle is 3/3 vs 0/4 and that’s the difference

Yup that's a big reason for the difference. Along with a few weak goals from andy and poor defensive plays.

Shots being 14-4 but down 3-2 last period is quite frustrating though...

 

[koyvoo]

Even Rask?

I think so. Forwards are allowed too many 2nd and 3rd chances. Nobody knocks a guy down who is taking swipes at a loose puck. Nobody clears the crease. Goaltending in Toronto in a tough gig.
