GDT: Leafs vs Philly 7PM

[leafs in five]

It takes a real bad team to lose to NJ, Arizona, and Philly in a week. And we apparently should not make trades on certain players. As far as I am concerned, getting bodies back that just give a damn is a start.

Rielly is the one piece to build around. No one else.

no Bozak?

One flaw I see in this system, is on breakouts, the defensemen are left in our end zone, while the forwards are all taking off and the D are expected to make 50-60 foot passes and when the oppsing team sends checkers in on them, they are having trouble moving the puck that far and finding the forwrds, it's getting picked off, then the forwards can't get back to help with the check, when they are that far down the ice.

Duffman also hit the nail on the head they are not shooting a lot from the slot and inside the dots, the Corsi may be better but the shots are not from any good scoring positions.

That's not coaching it is the players not wanting to get dirty

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Nice play by L Schenn.

 

[TML1]

Reimer can't use SOG or the team in front of him as an excuse tonight!

 

[Confucius]

Phaneuf is a friggen joke. Can't wait till he is outta here

he helps the tank, so he's a plus this year.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I will repeat nice play by Luke Schenn. He has looked good tonight.

 

[Erdinger]

This game needs more Clarkson

 

[TL12]

Reimer can't use SOG or the team in front of him as an excuse tonight!

But he can say his team can't score goals.

step one to fix an entirely broken team: trade anyone for anything, doesn't matter what.

 

[Bill Waters*]

I'm not worried. corsi looks great. Matts say we'll win in in the long run.

#Corsi

How many games do teams win scoring 0 goals?

 

[LeafsMonster]

The radio feed is so much better than the cbc trio. I miss bowen

 

[Daisy Jane]

oh look, the majority of leafs shy away from it.

as is tradition.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Kadri pass hits a skate, this is a recording.

I wish we'd stop talking about drafting McDavid!

We have JvR, drafted 2nd overall! How'd he work out for the Flyers? How is he working out for us?

We have Kessel, drafted 5th overall! He's not turning us into a contender, now is he?

We have Lupul, drafted 7th overall! He's not turning us into a contender either?

We have Phaneuf, drafted 9th overall! How's he working out?

We have Bernier, drafted 11th overall! Still a work in progress?

etc.

There is NO GUARANTEE that the player we draft, 1st, 2nd, or 12th overall, will even be an NHL player!

Anyone remember Alexandre Daigle, Pavel Brendl, Doug Wickenheiser, etc. ???

I am concerned though because we maybe not be able to move our dull players because of horachek's awfully dull game book and system. We should be losing, but playing more open game like carlyle did. These players are not built to play defense. They are offensive oriented, soft, arrogant players who cannot win, ever.

I think another coach would have been a better choise in this losing strategy. hora's team is too dull. Nobody wants players of this team.

We need to get better yeah. But we can't trade our players who are not showing anything special in these games they're trying to lose.

Randys system got us around the .500 mark in no mans land. Now we might finally see big changes. Changes needed that might bring some hope.

You mean step one for screwing over a franchise completely, right?

 

[Maplebeasts]

Phil Kessel for Tanner Glass anybody? How about Phaneuf for Zach Sill? Do you see what's wrong with your wording?

 

[Bill Waters*]

Shots: 25-15 leafs

 

[SprDaVE]

The good ol' dump and no chase.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

you can't talk about that.

Yes you can. There is no cheering for a loss allowed in this thread though.

right i remember numerous occasions when Reimer was asked why he lost a game and he replied that he lost because the team in front of him allowed too many shots

 

[stavs*]

these GDT's are dead now wow, poor leafs.

 

[Budsfan]

That's not coaching it is the players not wanting to get dirty

Getting 50-60 foot passes is not a good plan the other team is watching these flaws and can pick them off this is system not the players.

 

[King85Kong]

Agreed, I think it highlights just how poorly built we are.

Too many one dimensional players, Carlyle created a system around that and it ended up being an entertaining but very flawed team.

teams that play our style now but are good are VERY entertaining guys and can dominate games, it's just that the players we have arent willing to play that way.

Very well put.
