GDT: Leafs vs Lightning 7PM SNO

[JerseyMike34]

Hanging on for dear life....
Disgusting hockey.

 

[SprDaVE]

That's a hooking call 11/10 times.

100% was if the Leafs do it.

 

[TimeZone]

As quick as Tampa is off the rush, their defense is surprisingly sluggish.

 

[fahad203]

I forgot Kapanen is playing tonight

 

[Polaris1010]

It took 12 minutes in the 3rd period for the Leafs to get a shot on goal.

Did not even notice.

The Leafs never get the puck behind the other team's icing line.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Smart play by Dermott to flip it out. Can we do that more often? It's the safest play.

 

[Superstar]

LMAO....
Of course not.
Keep making excuses.

Then you really shouldn't be defending the refs. You should go follow Elliotte Friedman...NHL teams are finding issues with the reffing...probably not just against the Leafs, but probably complaints from other teams and players...might be a topic in the next GM meeting. This sh!t reffing is happening too consistently.

 

[lottster14]

As many missed calls as there's been, you call out our complete collapse in effort first. too many using the refs as an excuse

 

[SprDaVE]

Willy being benched?

on the ice right now

 

[Havoc]

kapanen should have held on and ate time.

 

[Kamiccolo]

on the ice right now

Demoted to third line

 

[Srsly]

The leafs have an absolutely massive mental block with 3rd periods and it's crippling them

This team is going to be dangerous if they ever manage to string together 60 minutes of playing like everyone knows they can. The only third periods I’ve been impressed with our players are when they’re down 6-3 from taking the second off.

 

[fahad203]

kapanen should have held on and ate time.

Or take the D behind the net. He gave up that too easily

 

[JerseyMike34]

All these "smart" hockey players, and I see them bat at high pucks all the time, seemingly forgetting that high sticking is a rule.

 

[LastOne2100]

kapanen should have held on and ate time.

What? That's not in Kapanen's repertoire .

 

[Pi]

Just hold on...would be a really gutsy win without Muzzin. He was so good in the first two period, easily our best D.

 

[danron1376]

Smart play by Dermott to flip it out. Can we do that more often? It's the safest play.

no the leafs D like to play pass with each other

 

[Stephen]

Those Kerfoot forechecks are hard to watch when you know he’s going to do the fly by sweep check while the other team turns it up the ice like he’s not there.

Gotta just finish a check once in a while.

 

[ottomaddox]

leafs are so soft.

they have no puck persuit whatsoever

maybe hyman

 

[Havoc]

so it's a disaster period but i mean, i saw at least 3 obvious penalties.

Barrie got a text book hook. Point intentionally takes a penalty to stop Hyman and it's not called. Dermott hit high.

 

[SprDaVE]

Just hold on...would be a really gutsy win without Muzzin. He was so good in the first two period, easily our best D.

At this rate I'll take the point...

 

[IPS]

Is it still taboo to talk game management reffing???

 

[Pi]

All these "smart" hockey players, and I see them bat at high pucks all the time, seemingly forgetting that high sticking is a rule.

That felt intentional, no way Nylander was getting to that puck if he doesn't high stick it and it goes back the other way. Gives them a breather.

 

[Cor]

Did they show ya’ll Tavares being mauled behind the play in front of the ref with no call?

 

[Once]

Keefes system is the antithesis of ‘get pucks deep’.
