GDT: Wake up B0echi!$ LEAFS AT SENATORS pre-season Sunday 2PM Sportsnet One

[HockeyVirus]

How did Robertson play bad if he wasn’t in the line up today?

I misread Lagesson #85 as #89 Robertson earlier in the game and got a lot of (rightfully) shit for it so just continuing the joke

 

[Doublerum1975]

I thought Timmins had a good game

 

[mikeyz]

Missed the game. I was at a family reunion. But when I checked the box score, it looked like the Sens iced their opening night lineup and the Leafs essentially iced the Marlies with the exception of Domi, Knies, Styles and Rielly.

And played forsberg each period

And that’s the problem here. If your original comment was on point and Bobby boy was in, we would have won this game easily.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Kept switching between this and the Jays. What I did see was Willy and Max showing early chemistry, thought Knies looked good and strong down low as usual. I didn't see much of Timmins but the fact that he can still manufacture points the way he does even in pre-season action is something else.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

The Good:
Minten
Nylander
Steeves
Knies

The Bad:
Lafferty
Clifford

"Played pretty well":
Pettruzelli

The Really Ugly:

Constant praise for Stützle.
Cuthbert even called him "King Stützle". Wtf?!

 

[Notsince67]

And played forsberg each period

Couldn't have felt good for them. Forget about the skill the Leafs left off the ice but the addition by subtraction when they replace some fellas

 

[Enniskillen]

Fire Dubas, no pugnacity.

He got walked bad twice. It will be the klingberg experience

Why was Pettruzelli the ugly?

Did you watch the first 20 minutes.

Could of been 4-0 and he's probably a 4th string goalie if not 5th. He played pretty well.

He faced 22 shots in the first period.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Timmins is our new Holl, come on down big guy you have been crowned!

Knies needs to be less gun shy with that shot, he passed a few opportunities that could have been dangerous

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Really impressed with Knies' puck retrieval. He's going to be a hound on the puck. Early chemistry between Domi and Nylander evident. Nylander should have had at least two goals.

On the negative side, I thought Timmins struggled out there. Clifford is useless. No one else stood out. Not gonna judge Lily or Rielly, they've made the team and are just getting ready for the season.

 

[ACC1224]

Timmins continues to put up points whenever he gets in the lineup. They have to find a way to dress him every night

Ok. I'll change the grading to pretty well (based on popular demand).

Couldn't watch the game, Did Strudel keep the diving to a minimum?

 

[Burnie97]

So you're saying you don't think he was good then.... it shouldn't be by popular demand.

I was just wondering what you saw that made him bad?

He hasn't played in a game situation in 8 months. There will be rust.....not prudent to be making blanket judgments about 2 plays in the first preseason game.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Happy to hear Minten have a solid game

 

[Leafs98]

Just use preseason in anyway that avoids the typical 2-4-1 start

 

[Kiwi]

Timmins continues to put up points whenever he gets in the lineup. They have to find a way to dress him every night

His 4 way mobility when he's defending still looks worrying, he was burned to the outside a couple of times

 

[TMLAM34]

Timmins had an alright game. He did however look slower than usual. Hopefully it’s just because it’s game one of pre-season.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

I know it isn’t related to the leafs but holy crap the canucks just got destroyed 10 to 0

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

It's the first pre season game, it's not a big deal, that being said there wasn't a single skater on the ice that I thought had a truly good game, I said skater because our goalies were great.

I will give credit where It's due Nylander was probably the best skater, he finished 50% in the faceoff circle, which admittedly was impressive considering at one point in the game they showed a graphic that said he was 31% on the draw so good on him for battling back and getting it to even, I thought he struggled BAD in in the first half of the game but got better as it wore on
and looked dangerous in the 2nd half.

This game did nothing to change my opinion that Nylander is not a center but he did salvage it.

Everybody else sucked, particularly Knies he did NOTHING out there he was on the struggle bus.

I know It's game 1 of pre season but holy shit, 1/6 on the PP is not good enough.

I do wonder what happened to Jarnkrok abd Timmins, they both left the game.

Overall not overly impressed
