GDT: Leafs v Bruins II

[MoreMogilny]

A more disciplined team needs to come out for the 2nd.

 

[TimeZone]

Just need one goal. We own them at 5 on 5. Lets get it.

Unfortunately we were also outplayed 5 on 5 overall that period.

 

[NightTrain1]

Well, the lack of anything considered effort in the defensive zone is especially concerning. The special teams is absolutely brutal and the so far this game so has been the important face-offs.

Ill give them a bit of leeway though. This is an elimination game against a strong team playing with their backs against the wall on the road. But my god, when the second period starts the Leafs better take over this game quickly.

 

[weems]

You cant give up massive edges in elimination games.

Our PP icetime usage is a joke and something you'd see in houseleague hockey.

Not anywhere close to optimal to be playing guys like Marleau/Ennis/Kapanen etc as much on the PP as Matthews/Tavares/Marner.

We need to take this game and our top guys need to be on the PP for at least 1:30 just like the other team is doing.

 

[KingJoffrey]

This off-season we should really invest in a center who can win a face off and pk. Replace Goat in the lineup.

No one beats Bergeron. And you have 22.6 millionsitting on bench. Maybe they should train more.

 

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

Who is this baffoon in a bright suit barking nonsense

 

[ElbowLander]

Bruins get their top guy out for 2 mins. Not babs he runs out the useless nylander line

They need to invest in new special teams coaches. It's clear these coaches are as stubborn as Babcock. They have no clue how to adjust.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

DJ smith should be fired

 

[Superstar]

He shouldn't have let the 1st one in too! It was worse than the nice shot from Krug.

The 1st goal went off the inside of Hainsey's leg and deflected pass Anderson...Marner blew by Marchand for whatever reason, who was his man...really bad play by Marner there.

 

[EXPECT THE LEAFS]

Just play the top unit two mins. Who cares. Play to win.

That's all I'm asking. You gotta ride your horses in a game like this. We're still in it though.

 

[Suntouchable13]

He is still playing favourites, it's game 6 with a chance to wrap it up.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Babs bettet adjust accordingly NOW.

We cant afford a 3rd period adjustment like he usually does.

If we lose this game Pp coach deserves to be fired and banned from Toronto.PERIOD

 

[Al14]

Regardless special teams are part of the game. Whoever is in charge of special teams for our team needs to get canned

When all is said and done, Babcock is the head coach. It's his job to make things right. He hasn't done squat as far as I can see. The special teams just aren't so special. It's on Babcock IMHO.

 

[hoglund]

Unfortunately we were also outplayed 5 on 5 overall that period.

We outscored them 1-0 while 5 on 5.

 

[TmlHockeyFan]

Our PP and PK sucks.

 

[supermann_98]

Gotta stay out of the box. Boston couldn't do jack until the PP's and following goal momentum

 

[Antropovsky]

Leafs got alot of star players.. Nylander, Matthews, Tavares, Marner.... someone needs to show up big this game.

 

[Nineteen67]

I half expected the Leafs to take control in the first. Bergeron and more importantly Marchand didn’t let that happen. If they keep it up there will be a game 7.

 

[jrgtml67]

No Rielly for Norris?
Thats a joke

wow..just like Andersen snub

 

[Stand Witness]

Top PP should be seeing 1.5 mins per PP

 

[lottster14]

Jim Hughson has been tolerable so far this series, Craig Simpson meh as usual. but Craig is really showing his "f*** the leafs" thing tonight

 

[BayStBullies]

Tavares tip hits the post. Marchand's deflection off a leg went in. That's the difference. This game is far from over.

 

[Alerion]

The 1st goal went off the inside of Hainsey's leg and deflected pass Anderson...Marner blew by Marchand for whatever reason, who was his man...really bad play by Marner there.

Love Mitch and how he's played all year but he's been pretty blegh for a few games now.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

When all is said and done, Babcock is the head coach. It's his job to make things right. He hasn't done squat as far as I can see. The special teams just aren't so special. It's on Babcock IMHO.

He knew there was problems mid season and didnt wanna fire the guy.

Look where are now!!!!!!!
