GDT: Leafs vs Ducks

[stickty111]

We need this one today. A win and we go up 7 points. Play like we did yesterday and we should be fine.
Wouldn't be surprised if Lilly gets sat today. That way all three of Rosen, him and Sandin would play 2 games in California.

We've lost a couple of games on the trot now so a win would be greatly appreciated, we played well against the Kings but couldn't beat Quick so it does put some emphasis on this result of this game

I'd prefer it if we didn't rely on Florida sucking to make the playoffs and got there on a heater and looking dangerous

Here's hoping the wheel of effort lands on trying for this one and we can get a positive result

2nd game of a back to back against a physical team like the Ducks. Doesn't seem promising.

 

[Tall Morty]

Just find a way to win.

The ducks are absolutely awful. If we don’t win this game then we suck too.

 

[ULF_55]

Kings 7-2-1 in their last 10.
Ducks 4-5-1 in their last 10.

If they work hard in this game they should have a chance.

It is in their hands.

at least its friday, so most of us who stay up late for the game will actually get to sleep in.

i cant believe ive stayed up for the past 2.

 

[ACC1224]

We can expect the same lineup as last night minus Andersen?

Wonder how many more games Keefe is going to trot out the same PP? Something needs to change there.

 

[danron1376]

the big 4 had over 20 minutes each last night. hopefully they still have gas left in the tank. expect more time for the bottom 6 tonight.

 

[Palio]

I’ve been walking around exhausted all day because I can’t seem to be smart enough to just go to bed. It would be nice if they would reward us with at least 1 win on this road trip after 2 1 AM losses

We're actually decent in B2B games under Keefe. 2-1-2 from what I see.

And skill>>>physical

I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN

They have to start shooting from the point and not trying to tap the puck across the goal line.

Just try using two D instead of one. At least run one PP with two D just to give the PP a different look. I would use Nylander and Matthews, along with Spezza on the first unit.

 

[ToneDog]

I just hope they don't waste 3 more hours of my life that I can't get back.

ou'
ve got it sire.

We've going with the campbell even though andersen has only played the shutout streak for the last game (not allowing anythang behind him). But is cool its aaaaight cause we tight like that. Keefe knows.

We will win again with the personel, power and especially WITH THE MONEY WE HAVE!!! ROCK ON like kramer said!!!! We already got these two points AGAIN!!! Others might be jelious to out club, but we still the richest, WHAT!!!!!!

Well the PP has typically worked for the most part this season, so I am not sure it'll be a personnel change. At least not on the top PP, which is typically the one that produces anyways. Maybe he takes Marner off of the top PP in favour of a guy who may not need as many touches but perhaps can help them break in?

Maybe he'll try to switch up the strategy a little bit, but that comes down to McFarland. So does personnel probably.

Keep in mind that this is a PP that is 2nd in the league since Keefe has taken over, and most PP's run into cold spells at different points in the season.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

4-1 Leafs

Big night from AM34

 

[Captain14]

The Power Play is killing us.
Marner has to be taken off the first unit.
The fact that he has a Bantam quality shot means the opposing pk only needs to take the pass away and make him have to shoot it.
The more I watch him, the more it is obvious that we can do no worse without him.

yesterday's game wasn't a true loss, it was a tie, but they lost the bonus point. Hopefully tonight they get 2 points.

Was thinking pretty much the same. Swap Marner for Spezza

It just all seems so predictable right now.

This game could’ve been a write off if the team had showed up for Campbell on Tuesday, or if they got the powerplay going last night. As it stands we need to collect two points tonight to salvage anything from this road trip.

 

[lovemyleafs]

Easy win.

 

[ACC1224]

Thankfully it’s a 10pm start. Stupid west coast

 

[Marshy]

Easy win.

For which team is the question.
