GDT: Tear Down the Wall- Game 2 -CBJ at Leafs 4pm NBCSN-SN

[rojac]

The thread title should say “NBCSN, SN” not “NBC SN”. The game is not on the main NBC network. Or if the “NBC SN” was meant to be “NBCSN” the Canadian network Sportsnet is being ignored.

It will be interesting to see if Leafs play with more purpose today or their composure is noticeably different being down 1-0 in the series.

I think with the feeling out period of game #1 is over, the Leafs are going to more inclined to want to press the attack more and play a less patient game.

Lets see if Keefe has any new twists to unveil or is making any adjustments to the game plan.

 

[tom leafers]

i think were gonna see a much more aggressive leafs team today.

at the very least, finish your friggen checks! the amount of times i see an opportunity for GOAT to absolutely lay a man out, only for nothing to happen is ridiculous. such a waste a 6'5 240 pound body

 

[Coachcorner]

We have speed, that's not going to cut it.

We need the eye of the tiger.

You already knew sire. Rocky learned the same and you already knew it. Now our squad have to find it

Good thing he's not in the lineup today

 

[Strangle]

Instead of being lulled to sleep, the team needs to keeps pushing for that 1st goal. Get to the net

 

[AvroArrow]

I only ask for 2 things

Play with some effort

and no Hughson

 

[member 300185]

Keefe you bonehead. Move Clifford up. 4 to 6 minutes is not enough for one of the guys that can do some damage.

Rookie coaches are the worst.

Agreed. I hope we get rid of him.

How... like... HOW is Cody Ceci still playing. 3 penalties in the tune-up game against the Habs, two more in game 1. He’s an absolute liability back there, and Sandin proved he could hang with the big club. Take the training wheels off, and get Ceci out of the lineup.

Tavares and Marner had/have every opportunity to win us this series. They need a statement game today. Mitch was throwing himself at guys in transition, getting out of position, left and right, in game 1. Clean it up. Muzzin had a howler of a game. Needs to settle down and be the steady presence he’s always been, and look before throwing the puck away.

It was like death by a thousand cuts. Nothing we did particularly bad, just a bunch of details that slowly added up. Freddy’s gotta have the one that got by him, though he played well enough for us to win. Had the Tavares/Marner line shown up, we probably win that one.

Korpisalo isn’t Patrick Roy. We need to force our way to the net, and pepper’em.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

The Leafs forwards must go hard in the paint ,being shutout in game 1 is UNACCEPTABLE.

 

[glue]

Well ladies gents, though it’s not technically over if we lose today, it’s pretty much the season here, which is crazy cause it would literally feel like the season ended before it even started

1st could happen
2nd will not happen.

 

[theTTC]

Not only that, we had horrible officiating (Charron, Rehman, Pollock).
Hoping we get guys that actually police the game, and not guys that let things police themselves.

Ah, it was the refs that jobbed us
Well then, here's to hoping for a no-hitter fly-by turn-away new-generation-video-game what-did-I-just-pay-to-watch effort by both sides.

 

[Kelly]

4pm start is gross, guess I'll be listening to this on the radio...

GLG

 

[BTP]

We will win this game.

Offense breaks out today.

 

[TimeZone]

Must win game today.

Let's see if they step up or fold like little girls as we've seen in the past.

Little unnecessary..let’s just say we hope they don’t fold under pressure like they’ve done in the past

 

[rumman]

Is hoping for a win so convincing that people start asking "Were the Leafs rope-a-doping them in game 1?" too much to hope for?


Ya of course it is forget I asked it. I'll take one off Hyman's rear-end in triple-OT.*

Keefe employs the rope a dope and schools Torts, in a best of 5 series, now there's a game plan you don't see being used everyday..............








*Even if my heart can't.

Keefe employs the rope a dope and schools Torts, now there's some first rate optimism!

Right? If we learned anything the last few playoff losses is that we need to play our stars less and our depth more.

 

[CincoHolio]

Blah, blah, blah. Just f***ing win.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

The fact we had one power play was a bloody joke. The league couldn’t make their bullshiat more obvious if they tried.

Leafs and Habs always get screwed on calls ... did you watch Habs series? it is a bloody joke too. Pens had full length 5 on 3's in both games. and 3 to 1 Pens on call advantage. You guys just don't understand how Bettman and Jacobs control da league.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Tampa didn't even get a single PP yesterday, against the team that LEAD THE LEAGUE in penalties all season.

It's like the refs don't want to make the fast/skilled teams win by giving them power plays, but it lets these slow, dirty teams get away with murder- which prevents 5v5 chances. Without policing the game it plays in the favour of the teams that can't keep up as it allows them to keep making plays that SHOULD be called, but aren't.

Both Habs games were complete joke of reffing too ... totally obvious refs/league want Pitt to win ... and in spite of da 5 on 3's Price still beat Pitt

Sandin is good and can be great but do you remember how physically outmatched he was during games. Now imagine him against a team like the BJs.

 

[Gabriel426]

Hope the boys step up like how McDavid did last night. Esp Marner
