GDT: Rangers @ Leafs | PART 2

[The Examiner]

The worst part is that Hank made some good saves but he was a bit shaky and definitely beatable tonight.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Nylander needs to be off this team. That play goes against the entire culture trying to be put in place.

If a turnover is what makes you deserve to not be part of this team, then there'd be no one actually on this team. You should take a lap for this hot take.

 

[Daisy Jane]

God I hate it when we lose because the hot takes. hot takes everywhere.

 

[Steven1562]

Lucky year... he's a career journeyman

He's scored 34 before but probably another lightning in a bottle year for Grabner.

 

[La Masse]

Yeah But Grabner is. He is tied with Ovi in goals

Meh. Its the same old Grabner... lots of speed but soft as butter and sucks defensively

 

[Incognito]

Lucky year... he's a career journeyman

Exactly. He's shooting 22% this year. It's a fluke.

 

[senor martinez]

Corrado's last game with us in a long while to come. Bank it. I know hockey.

Me and cherry are so deep in it.

 

[saltming]

Babcock should praise a 21 goal scorer he let walk

He did! Said he was a great player but he would have taken a spot from one of the kids.

 

[Daisy Jane]

If a turnover is what makes you deserve to not be part of this team, then there'd be no one actually on this team. Take a lap.

there would be no NHL

 

[yubbers]

*sigh*. I wouldn't want him playing over any of our rookies right now.

Agreed. But looking like a silly dump

a bad call for many more good ones. Can't win them all

 

[Territory]

It's the Leafs 2nd regulation loss in the past 13 games.

It happens.

I urge people to try and relax and just look forward to the next game. They didn't play well but every team has off games. So don't read into it at all.

 

[La Masse]

He's scored 34 before but probably another lightning in a bottle year for Grabner.

Playing with Tavares

 

[Cor]

Everyone couldn't wait to get rid of Grabner last year

Now it's all "why didn't we re-sign him!?!?"

 

[6ix]

Rangers lost 3 in a row and leafs won 3 in a row. Rags emptied the tank and get the W. leafs coasted too much this game.

 

[Raym11]

I thought Gardiner, Hyman and Gauthier were the only leafs who played decent. (However, I did miss a chunk of the game...and am pretty happy about that...based on what I saw).

i agree with those 3 but i'll give Andersen a pass as well. 0 help tonight and the only reason they didnt score 5 goals in the 1st period

 

[thewave]

Nylander does not seem himself that much is for sure. My initial thought was the BS TSN crap that broke. I just, I don't know he seems confused like he is broken tonight. It's strange and I watch him closely and have never seen him this rattled.

 

[The Examiner]

God I hate it when we lose because the hot takes. hot takes everywhere.

Rangers were the better team and have been all year. I can't understand why people don't realize this. It's pretty annoying.

The Leafs weren't very good but the Rangers didn't allow them to play their game. It's simple.

 

[LeafingTheWay]

outside of the 1 pass by Marner hes been pretty bad all night, same as Matthews besides a couple plays.

Yup. Team's not going to win if their two franchise players aren't hot. I thought Matthews wasn't bad, but Marner needs to be better even if it's an off-night.

The main thing though is that we were too sloppy in the 1st period and the Rangers were a much better team than they were last week.

 

[keonsbitterness]

God I hate it when we lose because the hot takes. hot takes everywhere.

Corn Flakes > Rice Crispies

 

[yubbers]

mmmmm

Hot takes

 

[sxvnert]

Everyone couldn't wait to get rid of Grabner last year

Now it's all "why didn't we re-sign him!?!?"

Wanted him for our fourth line. Would have been the best fourth line in hockey.

 

[The Examiner]

Meh. Its the same old Grabner... lots of speed but soft as butter and sucks defensively

Grabner is very good defensively. I don't know what you're watching.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Babcock should praise a 21 goal scorer he let walk

How did Babcock let him walk? He's not the GM, and this is the same Grabner that no one wanted at the deadline, and everyone wanted him gone last year right ?

 

[Territory]

Don't read into crap like that. He played about as well as anyone else on the team tonight.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

I know it's a rough night for you guys, but I'm just so happy for Hyman. Playing with Matthews will always take away your aura a bit, so it's nice to see him succeed. That said, your 1st PP unit needs some serious talking and Kadri needs to take some responsibility from this game. He's been awful.

Our power play is like 10 of it's last 21 attempts, they didn't have a good game it happens.
