GDT: Predators@Leafs 7PM SNO

[kk87]

Just really **** luck that period, not much more to it than that

 

[ottomaddox]

what happened to Kadri?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Frustrated with the PP but Nashville's defense and Rinne are on full display. The Leafs are giving them all they've got though. Just need to keep pushing.

Did we ever get a conclusive look at that off-side?

Nashville got lucky on their 2nd, Leafs can't get luck so far tonight. It happens.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Kadri and brown have been brutal for awhile now.

Brown has had a pretty good game.

Should have had a primary assist but Kap hit the post. He also had an assist in the last 2 games.

Of all the times to bash him, now is not one. He is playing well.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Not a whole lot you can complain about tonight, minus an ineffective PP. The boys are playing sound hockey. Lots of time for the breaks to even out.

 

[Gallagbi]

The 2nd goal killed the team.

It's awful that as a fan you can physically see the team quit.

Almost as if the team needs a spark plug of a player.
But don't tell most of these fans, a spark plug is a useless member of the 2 forwards being iced.

Everyone would love a high energy sparkplug. It's the useless fighter most have an issue with

 

[SprDaVE]

2 damn posts and a nano second offside called back goal from 30 seconds before the goal happened. This has been one of our unluckiest game of the year.

The replay was pretty conclusive

 

[Melo Meds]

Good game from us so far. Bit fustrating but nice to us show up against the Lightning and Nashville who are two of the top teams in the league. If we have Andy in net and get better puck luck this game is ours to lose.

 

[DanM]

Great! This is where kipper talks about how we need to trade for a D because of our cap situation.

 

[frizzer1]

Moore having a great game. Down 2 goals, Babcock could promote him but won't.

Babcock's weakness is that he won't adjust......
And that's why if they ever do anything in the playoffs it will be in spite of this coach and not because of him..
A good coach from a different era...
..should not be coaching this team.

Camera view right at the line. Bias aside, it was offside.

It's awful that as a fan you can physically see the team quit.

Oh gosh you cannot be serious right now.. It's a 2-0 game they have not quit on anything. If there is one thing this team has shown in the past 2ish years, it's that wild things can happen in the third period.

Down only 2 I'm not worried yet and this team has not quit...

 

[BertCorbeau]

On another note that fourth line is looking really good. Moore is a heck of a puck hound.

Goat looking really good again.

 

[sessiroth]

Sure seems like you're drawing some ridiculous conclusions with Nylander this evening .

It's drawing a ridiculous conclusion that he was offside? Or that the puck ripped off his stick? No those are what happened not ridiculous conclusions like you claim. A ridiculous conclusions is saying Nylander is costing the team the game, or that he stinking up the joint. I didn't make either claim. You make a false claim just own it and move on.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

at least the Leafs are the better team. still sucks to lose from a lot of bad luck though. it also seems like we lose the special teams battle every night

 

[DarkKnight]

Bounces not going our way tonight.

That really the only reason we're losing. We actually look good I think.

 

[Gallagbi]

Not liking Marleau with Tavares.

Tough to complain about anything else. Pp sucks I guess.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Brown has had a pretty good game.

Should have had a primary assist but Kap hit the post. He also had an assist in the last 2 games.

Of all the times to bash him, now is not one. He is playing well.

Brown has shown a bit more finesse tonight for sure. Great pass to Kap, a nice drive to the net off the draw...not too shabby.

 

[Rogue]

That overturned goal changed the whole game ... everything would have been different now. I don't even get those offsides the goal had nothing to do with it ... it was so much later.

 

[sxvnert]

Can't get too mad with Nylander over the offside and deflection; both were a bit unlucky. That said... come on Nylander. Do something positive.

It wouldn't matter if he gave us something other than his bare minimum for the last month and a half.

 

[1specter]

Good game from us so far. Bit fustrating but nice to us show up against the Lightning and Nashville who are two of the top teams in the league. If we have Andy in net and get better puck luck this game is ours to lose.

Not sure what more Hutch could've really done on those goals, completely screened and second goal was also a deflection off his own player. I don't know if Andy in his place makes it any different

 

[Throw More Waffles]

We have an entire period left. Leafs offense can turn around a 2-0 deficit in minutes. I mean, it's not 5-0 or anything for heavens sake.

 

[BigGulpsEh]

Leafs are missing a dman with a big shot

 

[Mr Hockey]

Leafs playing well, Preds are a good team
