GDT: Leafs at NYI - Part 2

[Leaf4Life79]

Okay 4th line has played almost 8 minutes already Babs.

Down by 1. Tavares, Matthews, and Nylander are around 10-11 each.

Either load up one line or rotate 2 for the third period and try to you know... win a hockey game?

Nah, the meathead will play the shit out of the 4th line, it's a Babcock thing, you know?

I think Kadri himself was a better d-man than Barrie.

considering this is a career worst (or very nearly, not bothering to check stats) for Barrie in a contract year, I’ll take that to the bank, thank-you-very-much.

should help keep his next AAV down. Hopefully under $7M

 

[MattySnipes]

Isles are also only 1-1 in one-goal games at home. That's a better stat for Leafs regarding this game.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Are you his Mom or something?

No. And I don't really even care.

I'm calling out leaf fans who are so critical in this thread of Islanders fans and saying things like "get over it." This coming from a fanbase that still boos their former captain 5 years later for literally no reason.

 

[Trapper]

You’re the GM of this team.
Watching this game tonight, what would you add? The biggest area(s) of help.
And would your next move be to add an 11 million dollar winger?

 

[ULF_55]

It'll be very disappointing if they lose purely from shooting themselves in the foot.

I bet they've lost most of their games on self inflicted wounds.

The other team doesn't even have to force them, just let them have the puck, you'll probably get it back in a better position.

 

[supermann_98]

I chuckle when they project Ander5en to get $8m + when he's a UFA. He's making exactly what he's worth tbh, and in big games he's worth even less than that

 

[likecheese]

I'll take this Barrie over the one we've seen all season, I still don't know how Kerfoot and Muzzin managed to turn that over.
Rielly with a huge turnover right after our goal. Special teams and all these insane turnovers are killing us.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

He's not allowed

meh, bullshit... if I was Muzzin, I would be smashing people, I don't care what my coach or any of the staff tells me... like seriously. do you honestly think the coaching staff tells every player, not to hit? I kinda find that hard to believe, TBH

 

[leafsfan5]

The leafs are their own worst enemy

 

[mcleex]

Worse than Gardiner?

100%

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Fred definitely should’ve had that last one between the legs.

 

[CelticDruid]

do we at least look good?

A lot better just silly bone headed mistakes.
At least 85% of the team is skating hard.

 

[Erdinger]

Game is so frustrating. For once they've been engaged but every lapse has resulted in a goal

 

[stickty111]

After a commercial break, Babcock put out the 3rd and 4th lines, and they score. It wasn't because of them they scored, but you go with your top 2 lines after a break. I understand the 4th line has been terrific.

 

[Notsince67]

Barrie has been getting blamed for Muzzin's mistakes.

I dont think Barrie has made any difference this game. The fact he has done less damage than most games doesnt make me feel better.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Hopefully they can bail Freddie out because he's a little off tonight

 

[keonsbitterness]

do we at least look good?

Better than them overall. Just too many turnovers.

 

[robertocarlos]

Nylander is the best (looking) Leaf tonight.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

I'll take this Barrie over the one we've seen all season, I still don't know how Kerfoot and Muzzin managed to turn that over.
Rielly with a huge turnover right after our goal. Special teams and all these insane turnovers are killing us.

One of the issues is this team tries to be too cute with too many passes trying to make a fancy play, just get pucks to the net, and I am sure we will put more in. Nylander looks great tonight.

 

[mulefarm]

The refs aren’t helping tonight!

 

[Superstar]

Muzzin skated up without control of the puck, which was batted back.

 

[ULF_55]

do we at least look good?

They look good and horrible.

They're a well balanced team, absolutely brilliant and idiotic.

 

[Strangle]

No. And I don't really even care.

I don’t really care about islanders fans. I was just pointing out that there was a reason the fans booed phaneuf

 

[Gallagbi]

Oh my gawd. Kerfoot doesn't get the puck fully but muzzin has it. So when Muzzin loses the puck WHERE IS TYSON BARRIE. And come on but even though their was a 2 on 0 apparantley from the announcers side ...Anderson that's a save. We really needed that save.

Barrie's filling in for Kerfoot who rotates down low, they're in fine position until Muzz turns it over. That's in Muzzin (and Andersen) not Barrie.
