Post-Game Talk: This is 40. Toronto beat up on Habs 5:2

[SeenSchenn2]

Manny Malhotra should be fired asap for turning the pp into the dogshit its become today.

Doesn't mean much but it is kind of funny a guy who never played on the PP is running ours

 

[Teeder Keon]

Easily IMO. Matthews easily pots 50 if the Leafs PP wasn't a freakin' JOKE

It’s absolutely absurd...
We literally may have the worse PP in the league right now
Atrocious
No quick movements or players on the move
It’s the same 2 plays every time
No organic free flow
Very robotic

 

[Ciao]

@Marshy. You're inching closer to winning your wager with the Rangers' fan. Best of luck. Maybe you'll be over the hump soon!

 

[Teeder Keon]

Well at some point, you have to get a point man with a shot. It's not like Hekstol/other dude Paul something did a good job either
So it can't be all coaches

It’s everything and everyone involved

 

[BudForLife]

Has anyone seen Walrus?

Where'd all the habs fans from the other night go ?

 

[Teeder Keon]

Hurricanes are freakin scary this year

PP enters zone. Rielly stickhandles at line for a few seconds, dishes it to Marner. Marner stickhandles a few seconds, maybe spins around, passes back to Rielly. Rielly stickhandles a few seconds, passes it to Matthews. One of the 3 players ends up shooting into somebody's shins.

Rinse and repeat 10000x. I get nauseous watching it nowadays.

None of the PP combos have worked lately, that's for sure.

Wonder if having Marner/Nylander on the half walls with Matthew's in the bumper spot might work. They'd have a hell of a lot easier of a time getting Matthews' shot off from the middle of the ice than on the half wall. A lot more one timers.

That would cause the PK keep closer to the middle of the ice and open up lanes for everyone else.

Matthews' snapshot is as good; in a bumper position he would be crowded. We are really missing a point shot that would not let the opposition PK cheat.

I would go back to previous PPs that started the year on fire

PP1
Thornton-Matthews-Marner-Simmonds-Rielly

PP2
Nylander-Tavares-Spezza-Hyman/Foligno-Muzzin/Brodie

Le poop

We dominated early and coasted to victory. Campbell was solid when he needed to be.

 

[djdev]

also, mik takes alot less penalties than galy...6 pims in 50 games, he stays imo!

I don’t get how with today’s brainiacs and video and stats and and and and that they can’t see a complete PP overhaul is required ...
Just think how many more wins and less losses we would have
Even a 4 game swing from our Pp puts us 1st overall

Since March 20th:

Record: 15-3-4 (.773) = 1st in the NHL

PP finishing has been brutal over that stretch showing how dominant a 5v5 team the Leafs have been but even then, underlying PP numbers show the Leafs having the 4th highest xGF/60 and the 4th highest High danger chances/60 on the PP so its more a finishing thing they are making up for 5v5 for some reason.

Powerplays have become my break time. Bathroom, fresh drink, get a snack... didn't miss a thing.

Incredible

“Mikheyev” trending on Twitter.

 

[SoCal Leafs]

Good times!

Not happy the Habs were able to claw back after it looked like we were going to smash them. But we got the win, no one got injured, and AM gets #40, so it's all good.

You know exactly who I mean...

As much as this frustrates us... it bodes well for the playoffs. Less PPs right? Tighter games, right? Lets see it play out then. Can we just skip these last three games? Maybe we just let the Marlies get smoked?
