GDT: Leafs@Canadiens 7PM CBC HNIC . Part II

[The Man with a Plan]

Goat has 3 hits. Rest of the team have 8. Habs have 31 hits.

Goats been getting better and better with time. Him and Muzzin probably account for 85% of leaf hits

 

[Pi]

We're 1 point away from being a Wild Card team.

No we aren't.

Games played matters. The NHL is the only major league that doesn't sort standings the right way. Leafs are third in the league by P% and they would still have 2 games in hand whether they win or lose this game.

Lack of passion. Our team doesn't have the killer instinct required to win and need inspiration. It's a matter of buy in, if this is what they have for MTL, we are going to have problems in the PO.

 

[Schenn]

We're 1 point away from being a Wild Card team.

And one point out of being 2nd in the division (with a game in hand).

 

[LeafsFan89]

Do we just let these players skate into our zone?

 

[FlareKnight]

Good block. But my god the Leaf stars need to step up.

 

[ToneDog]

Par and Goat been very noticeable tonight. Who'd have think ?

 

[Burnie97]

Well at least Ennis will be in tomorrow now. . Should be anyway

 

[Schenn]

I heard the same thing in Feb 2014 too.

Yes, because that is relevant.

 

[Sniper99]

We're 1 point away from being a Wild Card team.

Does the regular season end tonight? I dont remember what happened at the trade deadline.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

No we aren't.

Games played matters. The NHL is the only major league that doesn't sort standings the right way. Leafs are third in the league by P% and they would still have 2 games in hand whether they win or lose this game.

Which shows just how close it is between being the "3rd best team" and barely clinging to a wild card position. Nothing to be overly proud of.

 

[sessiroth]

I never thought I'd see the day when the Habs bully us physically. It's starting to get borderline embarrassing how unengaged our players are

 

[trellaine201]

Lindholm looks like he has a serious injury? Broken?

 

[Melo Meds]

I know Montreal is no push over but we need to get the W.

 

[Budz22]

Who ever scores first PP goals wins. Fair.

 

[MyBudJT]

Leafs compete level / desire to get the puck has been lacking, yet again.

 

[8816 others]

There's been some pretty soft calls against the Habs as well.

Because they know the Leafs PP is inept, they can make themsevles appear even handed.

 

[Leaffan1991]

Kapanen on the Pk is a different animal. He really explodes and uses his speed.

 

[SnizzMitch]

If our stars can’t show up in the 3rd, then they won’t show up in the playoffs..

 

[Slyfox]

Do we just let these players skate into our zone?

Hainsey's zone entry defense is awful. He starts backing up way before the even get close.

 

[Nalens Oga]

Um, what?

You said the coach has no effect on the PP and that it's up to the players. I'd love to know what you think a PP coach does or what NHL practices are for.

 

[Sherpaderp]

Who's getting the gwg? My bet is on Kadri. Yes, kadri

 

[kule41]

Matthews is the Avatar because right when we needed him the most, he vanished.

 

[Kamiccolo]

So i’ve seen multiple habs tangling with Andy behind the play. He is left to febd for himself and give them a wack. What team lets their goalie get picked on and force him to defend himself?

The PP isn’t a detterant it can’t even score. We need a much better 3rd here boys.

 

[PromisedLand]

cannot believe that habs are first to the puck most of the time; its just pathetic to watch
