What's worse: Millen or the quest trade commercials?

 

[Marshy]

These closing threads for no reason is lame.

 

[Moncherry]

The coach's challenge can get f***ed.

 

[Swedish Gretzky]

Matthews needs to step it up

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

What's worse: Millen or the quest trade commercials?

Yup

 

[WilliamNylander]

I would move Kadri to PP2.

He is being wasted on our first PP, maybe put Kappy or Marleau in the bumper spot to stand there and tip pucks.

 

[La Masse]

Need a strong period

Ok, I'm on the refs here and there but even I don't expect them to make an offside call by a cm difference. To me, if we need to go frame by frame to barely see if it's offside then we've forgotten the reason for this rule; which is to call the obvious ones that the refs miss. And there really should be a time limit. If a team can't defend the zone properly they shouldn't be let off the hook for a missed offside (barely in this case) that happened 40 seconds ago. .

Easily Millen and that says a lot

Sportsnet is USSR level misinformation

It is bush league

Need some good flow.

Ya I dont get the calls on hooking/holding on the dump in... is it a penalty? Some teams do it every single dump in and then you will see only one instance penalized.

We've been burned for less this year on some of those. Matthews took an elbow to the head and Marner is battling just constant interference almost every shift.

Even the Zaitsev penalty sucked as he was tilted after taking a very dangerous trip right in front of the ref and he took a number before the payback on that net clearance.


Still think the Leafs can come back as they are clearly the better team and have beaten Rinne cleanly a couple times but not the post (or borderline offside calls) and bunch of chances have just hit Rinne as he has been under siege. Nashville averages 10.6 HD scoring chances against and the Leafs already have 14.

Overall: Scoring chances 24-12 Leafs HD chances: 14-5

Maybe they’ll suffer the same fate.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Really the difference here is Rinne. That's it. You replay those first two periods 100 times we're winning most of them

Boards run better with post caps. We've experimented with letting them stay open longer and it bogged things down.

Yes, it was Rinne's bad positioning - not the supposed offside a long time ago!!!

It seems like there should be flags or something. That's how far its come.

Holy shit Nylander....

 

[Ziggdiezan]

That a boy Matthews and Gardiner.

Taking a run at Watson after he elbowed Matthews

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Lol good start

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Not sure what is up with Kap. Seems off tonight

14 shots. Babcock has to admit that this team's weakness has been identified. He has to adjust. He has to figure this out. He has to stop being so stubborn and admit things aren't working in some areas.
