GDT: Leafs @ Caps - Part 2

[Drytoast]

Except none of the penalties were retaliatory or due to any 'leaning'.

Correction. There was the one penalty on Rielly where the Cap was literally leaning on him and fell but I'm pretty sure that's not what you mean.

It's sometimes not as blatant as turning around and slashing a person. It's shying away or losing a step or flipping the puck up and into the webbing, or any number of small timid shy plays that result in penalties.

It's exactly why teams hit. This is the result. This is the shit that Dubas doesn't think is still in the game, which we mock that old guy on coaches corner for preaching.

And it's exactly why we can't beat Boston or will never win the cup.

 

[HolyCrap]

About damn time.

 

[Lynk]

Final f***ing ly.

 

[Teeder Keon]

I got it now
Raise your hand
Get a penalty called

 

[Mitchy]

Do my eyes deceive me or are the Leafs getting a powerplay?

 

[Throw More Waffles]

About f***ing time. Score here, change momentum.

 

[A1LeafNation]

I meant to tell the poster, that hits make players tired, and jumpy they than turn the puck over creating scoring chances. and often times goals lol.

You can also say speed causes breakdowns and causes teams to take penalties.

Washington is playing one way, Toronto is not playing the way they should.

 

[Leaf4Life]

Can we get a PP goal please.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

now that the game is over, better even up the calls

 

[Dave92]

5-0 in PPs lol

Leafs were dead last in drawing penalties last year. They're scared to skate through anybody right now so why would they get hooked.

 

[Maplebeasts]

A Powerplay with 6 minutes left down 2? Lol f*** you St. Pierre.

 

[Alerion]

Gotta score

 

[MattySnipes]

Should have listened to my 80 year old father when he said 3 years ago, that he has no confidence in Dubas. Basically paying for players that show up 1 out of 3 games. Tell me what Stanley Cup team has THIS many double digit million$ contracts?? The Blues? Bruins? even Caps don't have this kind of payroll! AND Kadri ends up on a winning team. I say good for him. I wanna have faith , but there is something wrong here.

Then have faith. It's simple really. If you don't like the makeup of team or salaries then don't be a fan. Go cheer on the Bruins or Avs. Life is short.

 

[Tall Morty]

Doth mine eyes deceive me?

 

[Canadian Finn]

Yet the Caps GM clearly stated they wanted to play physical against the Leafs during the 1st intermission.

Well clearly Caps GM needs to get with the "new NHL".

Speed and skill wins all.

 

[Jozay]

team has been going through the motions. You'd think they're the ones up 4-2

 

[Burnie97]

Do or die here

lol well we got one with that speed.

Token pp with game all but done.

 

[ToneDog]

Love being cap locked with this crappy backup. Confidence swelling

Hutch has been fine IMO. Andy has given up some pretty bad goals this year.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Yet the Caps GM clearly stated they wanted to play physical against the Leafs during the 1st intermission.

Yeah, I'm just making a point by hyperbole that Capitals aren't winning because they are hitting a lot. They have been playing terrific most of the game, in part because they use their physicality to win back pucks.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Why would you be attached to either?

Both guys have some strengths but they also have some serious drawbacks

It's not that I am attached to Dubas, I just don't think it would make sense to fire Dubas before Babcock.

Lol

You're making a heck of an assumption that poster actually watches games, to know that.

 

[MJ65]

They better score on this PP

 

[JerseyMike34]

I hate our PP...

I hate the 4 forwards 1 D thing...

I hate the diamond + one
